BTR VSI®
Online Valve Maintenance Case Studies
High quality valve cleaners, lubricants and sealants have been used around the world to reduce cost, control passing an prevent fugitive emissions.

The Situation ADCO Bab Field in Abu Dhabi was experiencing issues operating valves and reported passing valves in several wells throughout the Bab field. Their incumbent valve lubricant was not able to provide an effective preventative maintenance solution to preserve valve functionality and prevent leakage.
BTR VSI® Valve Lubricants
Valve Lubricant Case Study - Abu Dhabi
ADCO’s Bab Field, situated in Abu Dhabi, is a crucial onshore oil and gas field covering approximately 1200 sq.km. Its strategic location between Madinat Zayed and Marfa communities makes it significant to Abu Dhabi’s future.
Recognizing operational challenges, ADCO sought a viable solution and opted for high-performance Valve Lubricant. A field trial was conducted, injecting the lubricant into Gas Wells Bb-195, 373, and 466.
Following the injection of top-quality Valve Lubricant into the passing valves of the three wellheads, the passing ceased, and operators experienced smoother valve operation. The valves were monitored for two months, and the results from the trial were consistently positive. The same successful trials were replicated for two oil production wells, effectively stopping leaks and enhancing valve operation ease.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AND REGAINING VALVE INTEGRITY FOR DRILLING COMPANY – ABU DHABI
High Performance Valve Sealants
The harsh operating conditions in the Middle East, characterized by extreme temperatures and sand ingress, frequently cause valve component damage, leading to leaks, higher maintenance expenses, and non-production time (NPT).
ADNOC faced difficulties in ensuring sufficient valve integrity for the flow back stage of the drilling process. Maintaining valve integrity during flow back is critical to prevent potential well kicks. Engineers require confidence that flow back manifold valves can effectively control the flow back pressure during this stage.
the Drilling Manager aimed to address leakage issues in valves affected by wear and tear while also implementing preventive measures to safeguard critical assets. High Performance Valve Sealant was trialed in the most problematic valves, yielding highly favourable outcomes. Subsequent trials evaluated the preventative maintenance capability of Valve Sealants in protecting valve components from wear, resulting in further positive performance reports. ADNOC's subsequent decision to adopt Valve Sealants as a standard solution across their operations aimed to reduce both preventative and corrective maintenance costs and minimize downtime.

Online maintenance techniques have been used all over the world To
Save Money
Benchmarking studies have shown that companies waste millions of dollars by frequently replacing valves when all the valves actually needed was some preventative maintenance.

Reduce Shutdowns
Preventative valve maintenance decreases the occurrence of shutdowns, both emergency and planned. With today’s technologies, a lot of maintenance can be performed while valves are inline and under pressure.

Reduce Fugitive Emissions
Valves that are operating at a substandard level are a major cause of fugitive emissions. A study published a few years ago in Chemical Engineering magazine found that 60% of fugitive emissions in refineries can be traced to leaking valves.
