Halliburton, one of the world's leading providers of products and services to the energy industry, has launched the XTR CS injection system, a wireline-retrievable safety valve solution engineered for CO₂ injection in carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) wells.

The system provides flexibility as a primary or contingency safety valve or as a deep-set reservoir fluid-flowback prevention device, said the statement from the US group. 

Unlike traditional surface-controlled wireline valves, the XTR injection system’s non-elastomeric design helps minimise leak paths and eliminate reliance on hydraulic operation systems. 

This system remains at steady performance at any setting depth, to simplify operations and inventory management, it stated.

The XTR CS injection system expands Halliburton’s Completion Tools technology leadership in low-carbon technology solutions, allowing operators to maximise CCUS well performance. 

This technology helps ensure reliability and flexibility in harsh environments, allowing operators to inject CO₂ efficiently and safely, it added.

On the new launch, Maxime Coffin, the Vice President of Halliburton Completion Tools, said the CS designation was a testament to the company’s technology capabilities. 

The rigorous CS qualification programme ensures the system’s operational integrity and survival capabilities in harsh CCUS environments.

The injection system can be tailored for specific injection media and fluid properties, offering low opening force, minimal pressure drop, and a wide range of injection rates. 

To extend operational life, high-velocity flow is directed away from seal areas, and a novel anti-throttle feature reduces valve wear, maximising system reliability.

With the XTR CS injection system, Halliburton provides an adaptable solution to help operators achieve reliable CO₂ injection performance and advance their carbon management goals.-TradeArabia News Service
