DUAL BORE ANNULUS ACCESS VALVE

摘要

An annulus access valve system for selectively opening and sealing an annulus bore in a wellhead apparatus comprising an annular bore insert sealingly and fixedly attached within the annulus bore; at least one flow port formed in the bore insert for establishing a fluid path through the annulus bore; and annular valve sleeve sealingly and slideably attached within the bore insert; and hydraulic means for raising and lowering the valve sleeve over the flow port; whereby the sleeve is actuated to open the flow port and thereby open the annulus bore and the sleeve is actuated to close the flow port and thereby seal the annulus bore.
