waterflood flow regulator valve and downward through the exhaust port
A nonretrievabie check valve con be attached directly to the exhaust por
to prevent backflow frorn the annulus when the waterflood flow regulato
valve is removed. WFG series rnandreis are primarily used for high-volurni
waterflood installations. The side pocket of these mandrels has a single

tubing flow gas iift produc-
tion. This iineof valves includes 1" O.D. BP-2valves and 1-112"
O.D. CP-2valves. Each pilot-operatedvalve consists of a pilot
section and a power section. A nitrogen-charged, multi-piy
Monei bellows provides the force necessary to maintain the
pllot section in a normolly closed position. and an lnconei
spring provides the force necessary to maintain the power
section in a normaily closed position. Both these valves have
fioating valve seats.

The power section of 1" O.D. BP-2 valves has a flow area
equivalent to a 318" port. Port sizes avaiiabie for the BP-2 piiot
section are 3116" through 318" In 1116 increments.
The power section of 1-112"O.D.CP-2 valves hos a flow area
equivalent to a 9/16 port. Port sizes avaiiable for the CP-2
piiot section are 114 through 112 in 1116" increments.

OPERATION: injection gas flrst enters the valve pilot section

and acts on the effective bellows area. As injection pressure
overcomes the precharged nitrogen pressure in the bellows,
the bellows is compressed and lifts the stem tip off the seat
to open the pilot section injection gas then fiows downward
through the valve until it overcomes the preset spring force
of the power section. As the power section opens. Injection
gas then fiows through the valve, past the reverseflow check
valve and into the production conduit.

Conventional Waterflood
Flow Regulator Valves
DESCRIPTION: Camco conventional waterflood flow regulator
valves preciseiy regulate water injection volumes into multi-
ple isolated zones through a single tubing string. This line of
regulator valves includes 1" O.D. J W 4 valves and 1-1/2"
O.D. JW.20 valves. Each regulator valve consists of a hard-
èned Monel piston and piston housing, a stainiess steel
spring and an integrai reverse flow check valve. A fixed
orifice in the piston of thesevalves allows an lnfinitely variable
flow rate adjustment within a speclfied range.
Flow area for 1" O.D.
JW-40valves ranges from an equivalent
118" minimum port to an equivalent 7/32" maximum port.

OPERATION: Water injected into the tubing enters the flow

regulator valve. passes through a fixed orifice in the piston
and exits through a variable exit port into the zone belng
flooded. If the pressure differential through the orifice in-
creases. the piston's position changes in relation to the exit
port and restricts flow through the exit port. Flow rate is main-
tained at a predetermined and preset rate, regardless of
changes in pressure characteristics between the injection
Stream and the zone being flooded.

forrnotionon specificvalve and rnandrel cornpatiblliiy and pages 1 1 through 14

surface control devices in wells that do not have mandrels
in the tubing string or in tubingless completions. This line of
mandrels includes J-50 and J-40 packoff mandrels, J-40
concave mandrels and JSO, J2-50, SPB and SPBJ-40,
macaroni mandrels.
J-50 and J-40 packoff rnandrels are installed in cornpletions
without mandrels in the tubing string. J-50 packoff mandrels
accept 518" O.D. subsurface control devices, and J-40
packoff mandrels accept 1" O.D. subsurface control,
devices. Prior to installation of these rnandreis. the tubing 1s'
perforated at the desired depth, and a tubing stop is set
below the lowest tubing perforation. The packoff rnandrel'
and subsurface control device are assembied with a loweri
packoff on the botiom and on upper packoff on the top. The;
assembly is lowered into the tubing string and set on the tub--
ing stop so that the packoffs seai above and below the tub-"
ing perforations.

Reverse Flow Check Valves
DESCRIPTION: Camco conventionai reverse flow check
valves are velocity check valves used with Carnco conven-
tionai gas lifl valves that do not have integral reverse flow
check valves. These check valves protect the casing from
backflow through valves below the working valve, aliow
application of pressure to the tubing for circulation or acidiz-
ing and prevent comrningling of production fluids in dual
gus lin installations.This line of valves includes 1" O.D. BF and
B-1 valves and 1-112" O.D. CF and J-20 valves. These valves
each have an elastomerlc sofl seat and a stainless steel hard
seat. The initial seal is between the valve's stainiess steel
check dort and the sofl seat. These check valves can with-
stand 10,000 psi differentiai pressure and can be converted
from velocity check valves to positive check valves by the
addition of a spring.
Flow area for 1" O.D. BF and 0-1 valves is equivaient to a
5/16" port.

Flow area for 1-112" O.D. valves 1s equivaient to a 112" port

for CF valves and a 9/16" port for J-20 valves.

OPERATION: Camco reverse flow check valves require fiow

to close. As the differentiai pressure across thevaive's check
dart increases, the dari contacts the soti seat and then the
hard seat to forrn a seai and close the check valve.

CT Series Time-Cycle Controllers
DESCRIPTION: Carnco CT serles time-cycle wntrollers are
snap-acting pilots used to regulate the opening and clos-
ing of direct-acting or reverse-acting motor valves for gas
llfl service and varlous production applications.The CT con-
troller serles inciudes CT-8 and CT-26 controllers. These con-
trollers feature weatherproof cases that are easily acceî
sibie. If desired, additional controls can also be easlly adde
ln the field. CTseries controllers are used with the appropria
Camco D serles motor valves.
CT-8 tirne-cyclecontroilers are continuous-bleedcontroile
used primarily with a single, direct-acting rnotor valve.
controllers use a continuous-bleedflapper valve and
a timing arm that contacts pins in a timing wheel rotate
a clock. CT-8 controliers can aiso be supplied with a bou
don tube for pressure control. Controllers with bourdon
are normally used as tubing cutoffs to elirninate the
tion of gas lnto the casing after a predetermined pressur
buiidup in the tubing.
CT-8
CT-26 time-cycie controilers are conventional gas lifl con
trollers that open and close either a direct-acting or
reverse-acting motor valve. CT-26 controilers use
nonbleed, three-way valve. A timing arrn in the CT-26 c
tacts clips in a timing wheel rotated by a clock. Contact ti
[the time the motor valve is ciosed in a direct-acting
valve or open in a reverse-actingmotor valve) is controll
by an adjustable timing screw.
OPERATION: For CT-8 controllers, as the timing arrn is raise
the flapper valve opens and allows gas to exhaust from t
rnotor valve diaphragrn.Supply gas aiço bieeds continu
through a srnall orifice while the flapper valve Is open.
tinuous rotation of the timing wheel causes the timing ar
to lose contact with the pin, closing the flapper valve. Wit
the flapper valve closed, the supply gas bieedlng
tinuously through the srnall orifice builds up in the motor
diaphragm and closes the rnotor valve. If the CT-8 CO
is equipped with a bourdon tube. a preset amount
pressure forces the bourdon tube to close the flapper
and trop pressure on the mator valvediaphragm.This
the motor valve closed regardless of the movement O

For CT-26 controllers, as the timing screw rides over the clip
(or clips), it raises the timing arm to allow the three-way valve
to open. Supply gas flows through the three-way valve and
loads the motor valve diaphragm. causing a direct-acting
motor valve to close or a reverse-actingmotor valve to open.
As the timing wheei continues to rotate, it moves the clip (or
clips) from beneath the timing screw and allows the timing
arm to close the three-way valve. Supply gas then exhausts
from the motor valve diaphragm. causing a dlrect-acting
motor valve to open or a reverseacting motor valve to close.
