The PetroQuip Pressure Actuated Sleeve Shifting (PASS™) Tool hydraulically shifts the Annular Production Control Valve (APCV™-III) open remotely by the application of tubing pressure. The state-of-the-art APCV-III is a three-position sliding sleeve mounted in the production tubing, controlling communication between the annulus and the tubing. Working in conjunction with the PetroQuip PASS Tool, the APCV-III shifts hydraulically, then converts into a standard two-position mechanical sliding sleeve.
PASS™ Tool and APCV™-III Sliding Sleeve
- One-time shifting via tubing pressure, without an intervention
- Ability to test tubing without opening the sleeve
- Proprietary seal stack enables industry-leading maximum pressure differential
- Three-Position sleeve converts into two-position after hydraulic activation, allowing for maximum usage
- Proprietary threads eliminate the need for o-rings
