LM and IM Series mandrels
Applications
- Designed for diverse well completion environments
Benefits
- Improve efficiency, safety, and operational flexibility
Features
The LM mandrel’s external ported lug is configured for 5/8 in. O.D. tubing retrievable gas lift equipment.
IM Series mandrels are also installed as an integral component of the tubing string, but unlike the SR and JR designs, they feature internally mounted gas lift and check valves. The IM mandrel has the same O.D. dimensions as the tubing, making it ideal for applications such as:
- Wells with limited clearance between tubing and casing
- In the injection string for casing flow
- In the production string for tubing flow with a reverse flow valve
Available in standard sizes from 1.0 to 2 7/8 in. O.D. production string (other sizes on request)
How they improve performance
Tubing-retrievable gas lift system of mandrels and valves is integrated in the tubing string for an economic and efficient equipment solution. With wireline-retrievable gas lift system, side pocket mandrels are installed integrally in the tubing string, but the valves and latches can be retrieved and replaced with wireline.
