METHOD AND APPARATUS TO HYDRAULICALLY BYPASS A WELL TOOL

摘要

Apparatuses and methods to communicate with a zone below a subsurface safety valve (104, 204, 404) independent of the position of a closure member (106) of the safety valve are disclosed. The apparatuses and methods include deploying a subsurface safety valve (104, 204, 404) to a profile located within a string of production tubing. The subsurface safety valve (104, 204, 404) is in communication with a surface station through an injection conduit (150,152; 250,252; 450;452) and includes a bypass pathway (144, 244, 444) to inject various fluids to a zone below. A redundant control to actuate subsurface safety valve (104, 204, 404) can include a three-way valve (180, 280) or three-way manifold 480 connecting the injection conduit (150,152; 250,252; 452) or the hydraulic ports (140,142; 240,242; 442') to the subsurface safety valve (104, 204, 404).
