This wellhead valve is being developed for controlled injection of inhibitors and other chemicals into gas-condensate wells. Further work includes confirming customer requirements, producing prototypes, validating sealing performance and material compatibility, and selecting a manufacturing site.
Challenge and proposed solution
Industrial challenge: improve the reliability of inhibitor injection under demanding well conditions.
Approach: a specialised wellhead valve engineered for applicable sealing and material requirements.
Next: finalise design documentation, produce prototypes and complete qualification testing.
Partners and cooperation workstreams
See which capabilities are already covered and where new partners are welcome.
Valve engineering
OKB-57 leads the design; requirements and documentation are being refined.
Prototype manufacturing
A machining and assembly partner is needed for prototype units.
Materials and seals
Corrosion resistance and suitable materials are being assessed.
Bench testing
A laboratory is needed for sealing, strength and functional testing.
Customer qualification
Customer qualification will follow bench testing and an agreed evaluation plan.
Project cooperation details are disclosed only as agreed. Commercial terms and nonpublic materials are not displayed.
Project export potential
Export development could include adapting the inhibitor valve for overseas gas condensate fields and identifying wellhead equipment and service partners.
The Cluster supports demand assessment, partner search, cooperation, product adaptation and overseas market development for Russian technology.
