Body
1.1 Type H Threaded Style BPV
The Type H back pressure valve is a
threaded style BPV that incorporates
internal running threads, external setting
threads, and an internal stinger. This style
valve must be rotated in a set of mating OD
threads until it seats. The Type H BPV may Seal
not be set with wire line because it must
be rotated to set.

The Type H BPV is designed to hold

pressure from the well bore below the valve.
Cameron rates this valve to 20,000 psi
working pressure (WP). The internal
threads in the upper body are right hand
(RH) running threads that are used in
conjunction with the running tool and
retrieval tool. The external threads are
acme style left hand (LH) threads and
match the thread profile inside the Poppet
corresponding tubing hanger.

An internal valve and spring assembly is

designed to seal off well bore pressure, and
to release and equalize well bore pressure
across the valve when the poppet is off
seated. The internal valve is designed to Stinger
allow kill-fluids to be pumped through the & Spring
valve at a rate of up to 2 BBLS per minute.
If this rate is exceeded the O-ring seal will
be washed off or cut and the valve will not
seal. The primary seal ring is located
externally just above the male acme
threads.

1.2 Two Way Check Valve Body

The Type H Two Way Check Valve is
designed to plug the tubing in order to test
the tree and to allow tubing pressure to
bleed off before removing the plug. This OD
style valve must be rotated in a set of Seal
mating threads until it seats. The Type H
TWCV may not be set with wire line
because it must be rotated to set.

Cameron rates this valve to 15,000 psi. For

20,000 psi applications the HM style Two
Way Check is to be utilized. Both TWCVs
utilize a plunger which seals on an upper
seat to isolated tubing pressure from the
Xmas tree bore. A lower seat is used to
seal off pressure from above the TWCV.

The internal threads in the upper body

are right hand (RH) running threads that
are used in conjunction with the running tool Plunger
and retrieval tool. The external threads are
acme style left hand (LH) threads and Piston
match the thread profile inside the
corresponding tubing hanger.

The same running and retrieval tools are

used to run both the Type H BPV and
TWCV. The TWCV cannot be pumped
through to kill or circulate the well. If tubing Nut
displacement is desired, the Type H BPV
must be used first and then replaced with
the TWCV for testing of the tree.

Figure 2: Two Way Check Valve

FMCTI does not recommend the use of TWCVs to test a BOP. If pressure
builds up below the TWCV during testing, the TWCV cannot be pumped
through to kill the well.

1.3 Type H Running Tool

The Type H Running Tool is designed to be
attached to the bottom of the polished rod of Body
the PBMO lubricator or dry rods. It is
attached by driving a large pin through the
socket on the bottom of the polished rod and
the body of the running tool. The pin is then
held in place by a set screw in the running
tool that is tightened against the pin. A
splined floating threaded nut assembly is
incorporated into the lower tool body. The
assembly is made up into the internal BPV Set
and TWCV running threads. A large torque Pins Screws
pin is located just above the floating ring
assembly. This is used to transfer torque
from the polished rod in the BPV or TWCV
when they are being installed into a tubing
hanger.

This tool should be used to set Type H BPV's and TWCV's whether they
are run by dry-rod, or the PBMO Lubricator is being used to set the BPV
and TWCV under pressure.

1.4 Type H Retrieval Tool

The Type H Retrieval Tool is used to
remove the Type H BPV and TWCV from
Body
the threaded profile in the tubing hanger. It
is attached to the socket on the bottom of
the polished rod in the same manner as the
running tool in the previous section. Drive a
large pin through the socket on the bottom
of the polished rod and the body of the
running tool. The pin is held in place by a
set screw in the running tool that is tightened Set
Pin Screw
against the pin. The threads on the bottom
of the tool match the thread profile of the
internal threads on the BPV and TWCV.
After the Retrieval Tool has been threaded
into the BPV or TWCV it is then rotated to
the right (clockwise). This will remove the
BPV or TWCV from the tubing hanger and
will retain it so that it can be removed from
the well.

Ensure the old-style Type H

Retrieval Tool is not used. It is a
solid body, which will not allow
pressure to flow through.
