Halliburton has introduced the XTR CS injection system, a wireline-retrievable safety valve engineered for CO₂ injection in carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) wells.
The system offers flexibility, serving as a primary or backup safety valve or as a deep-set reservoir fluid-flowback prevention device. Unlike conventional surface-controlled wireline valves, the XTR CS injection system’s non-elastomeric design reduces leak paths and removes dependence on hydraulic operation systems. Its performance remains consistent at any depth, simplifying operations and inventory management.
The XTR CS injection system further strengthens Halliburton’s Completion Tools leadership in low-carbon technology solutions, enabling operators to optimize CCUS well performance. The system supports safe and efficient CO₂ injection, even in challenging environments.
Maxime Coffin, vice president, Halliburton Completion Tools, said, “The CS designation is a testament to Halliburton’s technology capabilities. The rigorous CS qualification program ensures the system’s operational integrity and survival capabilities in harsh CCUS environments.”
The system can be customized for specific injection media and fluid properties, delivering low opening force, minimal pressure drop, and a broad range of injection rates. To prolong operational life, high-velocity flow is directed away from seal areas, while a novel anti-throttle feature reduces valve wear, maximizing reliability.
“With the XTR CS injection system, Halliburton provides an adaptable solution to help operators achieve reliable CO₂ injection performance and advance their carbon management goals,” Coffin added.
