Gas Lift
Maximize production in any environment
Our gas lift products give you the quality and flexibility you need to maximize production. Gas lift installations manage abrasive materials, such as sand, and can be used in low-productivity, high-gas/oil ratio wells or deviated wellbores. With our gas lift products, slickline-retrievable gas lift valves can be pulled and replaced without disturbing tubing if designs or system performance must be changed.
We provide conventional and unconventional lift systems and components for both continuous- and intermittent-flow production. Whereas our conventional systems maximize production in shallow wells, our line of unconventional lift systems are pressure barrier qualified and rated to a higher pressure to provide reliable performance in deepwater and subsea wells.
The higher pressure rating and pressure barrier features mean deeper depths of gas injection and enhanced wellbore integrity. System components, such as side-pocket mandrels, extend the run life of the gas lift system and eliminate workovers—ultimately lowering costs over the life of the well.

Barrier Series
Enhanced capability and reliability
A barrier-qualified check valve system that provides a metal-to-metal seal between the tubing and casing annulus is available in 1-, 1 1/2-, and 1 3/4-in injection-pressure-operated (IPO) valves and orifice valves for some barrier valve options.
The availability of dual bores and communication portals in the barrier mandrel allows for two separate and distinct, retrievable, flow control check-valve devices that work independently to simultaneously serve both the flow control and the pressure barrier requirements of the gas lift system.
The barrier mandrel is a round-body, fully machined mandrel with a one-piece, twin 1 1/2-in bore pocket design with a dual-tool discriminator containing a tubing-to-casing barrier valve (TCBV). The TCBV prevents communication between the tubing and casing when the normal operating gas lift valve is removed from the primary pocket.
