Manage Production and Injection with Confidence
Interval control valves (ICVs) are critical components of intelligent completions, enabling precise control over fluid flow in multiple zones of a well. These remotely operated valves can be cycled automatically or manually—optimizing production, reducing water and gas cut, and minimizing well interventions.
SLB offers a comprehensive portfolio of downhole interval control valves, including both hydraulic, electrohydraulic and electric options, each designed to deliver robust performance across a wide range of applications. Our extensive track record in intelligent completions ensures that you can confidently manage your well’s performance—no matter how complex the reservoir.
Hydraulic Interval Control Valves: Proven and Reliable
Hydraulic interval control valves remain the most widely used ICVs in the industry, providing a dependable solution for precise zonal control in both producer and injector wells.
- Versatile Control Options: Available in on-off and multiposition choke configurations.
- Modular and Scalable: Our hydraulic ICVs support up to 10 discrete choke positions, offering flexible flow control for any reservoir condition.
- Advanced Electrohydraulic Control: An optional electrohydraulic module is available for remote valve actuation, integrating single or dual pressure and temperature gauges within a single compact assembly.
- Efficient Multidrop Installation: Modular valves equipped with the electrohydraulic module require only two hydraulic control lines and one electric line for streamlined installation.
With a proven design and a global track record of performance, SLB hydraulic ICVs continue to deliver reliable production control in a wide range of well environments.
