Choke manifold is used during well control operation and Well Test operation,. The positive choke has a fixed diameter and the size of the orifice on the adjustable choke can be varied. In addition the adjustable choke allows fixed chokes to be switched out as needed without stopping the well, increasing the flexibility of the overall system.
Choke Manifold has these principle functions:
- It allows wellhead pressure to be controlled, improving safety.
- It maintains a certain flow rate, as required for testing. A test can require different flow rates over several time periods, requiring the use of different choke sizes.
- It prevents formation sand from entering the well by limiting the flow rate. Limiting the flow rate reduces the speed of the fluid, which in turn, minimizes the amount of sand entering the well.
- It also prevents water and gas coning by limiting the flow rate.
- It is also used to ensure that the flow is critical, meaning that the pressure fluctuations downstream of the choke manifold do not affect downhole pressure and flow rate of the well.
Our Choke manifolds are available in 5,000; 10,000; and 15,000 psi, all bore sizes
Kill manifolds are often used in the oilfield when drilling, Kill manifolds are designed and manufactured in accordance with API 6A&API 16C standards. They are specifically made for injecting heavy mud, water and extinguishant during drilling
