Integral GLV Straddle

The integral gas lift valve (GLV) straddle incorporates a gas lift choke sub/connector that is run within Peak’s straddle system to provide controlled gas flow from the gas zone behind the straddled zone.

The choke can be resized by recovering the upper straddle tube, if required. The gas lift valve can simply be changed out by pulling the top plug complete with the gas lift mandrel assembly. The gas lift valve is then swapped. The top plug, complete with gas lift mandrel assembly is then set into the straddle seal receptacle fish neck and tested.
