BRUTE® Circulating Valves
The Frank’s International BRUTE® Circulating Valves, including the BRUTE® Force and BRUTE® Unloader, are the industry’s first to be tested to ISO 14310, API 11D1, and API 19AC V3 Annex A/D standards. When paired with our BRUTE® Retrievable Service Packer, the BRUTE® Force or BRUTE® Unloader Circulating Valves form the BRUTE® Test System to provide safe and efficient negative and positive tests by serving as both a circulating and fluid bypass valve.
Features and Benefits
- Incorporates maximum pressures with reversals, axial loading, and temperature cycling to ensure well integrity
- Splined mandrel design available to eliminate the need for rotation during operations to increase rig time savings
- Ability to perform multiple open and close cycles while unloading pressure when circulating allows for quicker valve manipulation
- Ability to circulate through the bypass ports without removing set down weight above the packer allows for more reliable well integrity
- Large bypass ports increase the flow rate of large volumes to optimize testing and displacement operations and provide a more debris tolerable system
