OMNI™ DT Circulating Valve

MULTI-CYCLE ISOLATION AND CIRCULATION VALVE

HAL10651
OVERVIEW
The OMNI™ DT circulating valve is a next-generation annulus pressure-operated,
recloseable circulating valve.
The OMNI DT circulation has been designed and tested to be more “debris
tolerant” than previous re-closeable circulating valves. The OMNI DT valve consists
of a nitrogen section, an oil system, a circulating valve, and a ball valve. Throughout
the operation, the tool is repeatedly cycled up to a predetermined annulus
pressure and then released. The nitrogen section contains the nitrogen gas that
counterbalances the hydrostatic and annulus pressures. The amount of nitrogen
in the tool depends on well hydrostatic (mud weight and depth) and downhole
temperature. This information must be known to prepare the tool properly to be run.
For certain completion fluids, the fluid density at the surface can be significantly
different from the actual density downhole.
The operating and control mechanisms are contained in a closed oil system
activated by annulus pressure acting on the nitrogen chamber, enabling an
unlimited number of pressure cycles.
The circulating valve and the ball valve work together to keep circulating pressure off
the formation. The ball valve will close before the circulating valve opens. The ball valve
closes off the work string. The circulating ports close before the ball valve opens.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

»» Permits well testing, pressure testing, fluid circulation, spotting acid, and cushion fluids
»» Enables unlimited number of tool operational cycles

OPERATION
The well can be flow tested when the valve is in the well-test position. When in
this position, the circulating ports are closed and the ball valve is opened. During a
downhole closure drillstem test, the OMNI valve is in the well-test position during
flow and shut-in periods. The work string can be pressure-tested in the blank
position, because the ball valve closes before the circulating valve opens. Fluid can
be pumped in either direction through the tool in the circulating position. In this
position, the circulating ports are open and the ball valve is closed. The tool does
not require any specific flow rate to operate.
Before the tool is run, the hydrostatic pressure and bottom hole temperature at
the specified tool depth must be known. This information is required to obtain the
proper nitrogen charging pressure.

Notes:
1
Absolute pressure is the total hydrostatic plus applied pressure.
2
Differential pressure is the difference in pressure between the casing annulus and the tool ID.
3
The values of tensile, burst, and collapse strength are calculated with new tool conditions, Lame formulas with von Mises’ Distortion Energy Theory for burst and collapse
strength, and stress area calculations for tensile strength.
