Formation Isolation Valves

Overview Library

Schlumberger isolation barrier valves safeguard reservoirs by providing a reliable barrier between the wellbore and formation and by containing fluids during completions and workover operations—preventing damage to the formation and minimizing workover costs.

Increased safety, efficiency, and production

Isolation valves will help you increase wellbore safety by isolating the formation and containing reservoir fluids, increase efficiency by enabling batch drilling and completion operations, and enhance production by preventing formation damage

Enhanced reliability

Schlumberger installed industry’s first barrier valve in 1996. Since that time, we have installed more than all other manufacturers combined―more than 1,100. Today, all our isolation valves use core technology components from the original FIV formation isolation valve, resulting in the most tested and reliable isolation barrier valves available.

Introducing—FORTRESS Isolation Valve

Our newest formation isolation valve system provides an added actuation option to accommodate various operating environments, and it offers the only contingency shifting tool in the industry. New features make this bidirectional valve more debris tolerant and reliable than any other valve available today. Read more

Array of options

We offer five types of isolation valves to suit a variety of environments, including deepwater and subsea; completion types: annular intelligent completions and those with stand-alone screens; and applications: ESP workovers, gravel- and frac-packing, temporary well suspensions, lubrication for long perforating intervals, and underbalanced perforating. .
