    Grabbed it over a weekend and didn’t expect to finish, but the pacing kept it moving. The section on surface-controlled subsurface safety valves stuck, especially the cutaway comparing flapper vs ball and the example walking through closure pressure vs setting depth in a gas well. It’s helped me explain arch tradeoffs in prod reviews instead of hand-waving, and I’ve been quicker in client calls. wasn’t sold on the brief nod to failure diagnostics; more on field obs would’ve helped.

    Bridges legacy completion arch with modern prod constraints; the sliding sleeve vs packer tradeoff in Chapter 3, especially the erosion calc at ~5k RPS, felt grounded in oilgas reality. Mostly worked for me, though I wasn't sold on the brief nod to smart valves and wished for more failure obs.

Course details

Oil and Gas Well (downhole) valves are primarily used for either safety, isolation or flow control. This course provides knowledge on the different types of downhole valves which are vital to the safe, controlled and efficient production of hydrocarbons, by serving specific purposes and functions, ie., Safety, Flow Control and Isolation.

Course suitable for

Key topics covered

  • Reasons for using downhole valves

  • Specific Valves for different purposes and functions:

  • Flow Isolation Valves

  • Surface-controlled Subsurface Safety Valves (SSSV/SCSSV)

  • Remote Open and Close Valves (ROC)

  • Inflow Control Devices (ICD and AICD)

  • Internal Control Valves (ICV)

Questions and Answers

A: 0.5–2 psi/minute equalization is the tell. That rate aligns with erosion or seat wear, not a control line failure that would drive the valve open immediately, and not thermal expansion which plateaus once temperature stabilizes.

A: 300 psi is often close to the operating margin between open and fail-safe close. Any action that increases drawdown or cycles the valve risks an unplanned shut-in that could exceed MAWP on restart.

A: ±1% gauge accuracy at 1,500 psi is already ±15 psi. A 220 psi delta screams instrumentation or setup error before touching factory-set internals that are usually locked and MOC-controlled.

A: Fire case assumes loss of control pressure and unstable upstream conditions. Any leakage defeats the entire safety function, regardless of how small it looks during steady-state testing.
