The Back Pressure Valve (BPV) is a critical component in the oil and gas industry. It comes in one-way and two-way versions, each serving a specific purpose. The one-way BPV stops downhole pressure but allows fluid circulation downward. This is essential during operations like nipple down and up of the drilling BOP stack or Christmas tree installation. The two-way BPV isolates pressure above the tubing hanger during wellhead installation, making it ideal for pressure testing during wellhead assembly.
The BPV is designed with a unique short trapezoidal thread that provides high strength, reduces the risk of galling, and extends its lifespan. This valve is installed and removed using a running/retrieving tool, enabling quick and safe pressure control.
