Back Pressure Valves (BPV) are designed to block the pressure coming upstream from the well during the removal of the BOP and during installation of, or repairs to, the Christmas ‘Tree. This can be accomplished safely, without injuring personnel or endangering the surrounding environment if this procedure is properly followed. sO ‘The Lubricator with the BPV attached is mounted on the top of the Christmas Tree. The Polished Rod is extended down into the Tree, ‘where the BPVis set into the Tubing Hanger. ‘When all repairs have been made, the BPV must be retrieved. The Lubricator is again connected to the Tree Cap, the Polished Rod extended down into the Tree, where pressure in the Tree is equalized, and the BPV engaged and removed. Several things are very important to consider prior to performing this potentially dangerous procedure. Maintaining Control of Pressure In order for the Lubricator and the BPV to function properly, it is imperative that all seals and valves used to control pressure are in good condition before use. These seals and fittings should be examined carefully and tested prior 10 taking them to the job site. Compatibility of Components Before going to the job site, it is necessary 10 ow as much as possible about the components involved so that the correct equipment will be on hand. a) Heights of Tree to determine the necessary stroke of the Lubricator. b) Size and type of BPV needed. ©) Pressure of the Tree. 4) Size and type of connector to the Tree. ©). Size and type of Running Tool. In most cases, a HP Back Pressure Valve (one- way) is being used, except when testing the BOP Stack or the Christmas Tree, in which case a ‘HP Two-Way Check Valve is used. G. B. Industry Co., Inc.
