Stafford, Texas-based SRI Energy, Inc., a provider of oilfield equipment, systems and services, has successfully qualified its SUPRAM™ line of products for subsea and surface use. The qualifications include API 17D, API 6A PR2 (20th ed.) and follow the guideline for ultra-high pressure and high temperature from API 17TR8.
SUPRAM SUBSEA Fail Safe valve finished more than 1400 cycles, with a test pressure at 20,000PSI. Of these cycles, 615 were performed at the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas in a hyperbaric chamber with a simulated water depth of 13,470 ft. This marks a milestone for the industry as the first gate valve to successfully perform at this pressure and water depth.
The SUPRAM Fail Safe actuator and SUPRAM valve have both successfully finished PR2 validation testing at 0°F to 180°F and -20°F to 350°F, respectively.
