Valve and Flow Component Testing
Barrier valves play an important role in downhole completion in oil and gas operations. Barrier valves isolate the reservoir and contain fluids during completion and work over operations. Subsea valves and well intervention equipment are used during inervention to extend production of wells by improving performance and/or tapping into additional hydrocarbon reservoirs.
