Isolate your formation while installing your upper completion with mechanical isolation valves from Baker Hughes. Our bi-directional downhole barrier valves also deliver assured integrity during workovers, while eliminating full well kill operations and formation damage.
Ease of installation and robust isolation
A typical completion for a mechanical isolation valve assures efficient installation and reliable protection. During a changeout of your electrical submersible pumping (ESP) system, the valve is installed below the downhole packer. Once your packer is set, the valve is mechanically closed with a shifting tool.
Another mechanical shifting tool is attached to tailpipe below the ESP tailpipe, Pod, or Y-tool bypass tubing. As the new ESP is run in hole, the shifting tool opens the mechanical isolation valve. Once the hanger is landed, production can start.
