Hydraulic valve control skid
Maximize fracturing efficiency with a reliable, self-contained hydraulic control system
Applications
Operating high-pressure frac valves
Benefits
- Option to control frac valves remotely, reducing need for manual valve operation in dangerous environments
- Verification and monitoring of valve positions in real time, enhancing safety and eliminating cut wireline
- Greater operational efficiency and reduced footprint with a centralized skid incorporating all hydraulic control components
Features
- Integrates seamlessly with ValveCommander™ fluid delivery control
- Enables operators to use their pressure control provider of choice while benefiting from agnostic SLB valve control technology
- Provides automated alarms
How it improves performance
Used in conjunction with ValveCommander fluid delivery control, this hydraulic valve control skid enables precise, automated control of hydraulically actuated frac valves throughout the frac pad. Operators can monitor and verify valve positions on each well in real time during the entire frac operation.
How it works
The control skid serves as the interface between frac hardware and the ValveCommander control software. Receipt of a control signal from the software triggers a specific valve to open or close.
Integrated position sensors provide continuous feedback on valve position. If the valve fails to reach its target position within a predefined time window, an automated alarm alerts the operator of a potential issue.
What it replaces
Risky and time-consuming manual valve operation.
