Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part3.

Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75% of the member bodies casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO17078 may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

International Standard ISO170784 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC67, Petroleum and natural gas industries, Subcommittee SC4, Down hole equipment.

ISO17078 consists of the following parts, under the general title Petroleum and Natural Gas Industries— Down hole equipment:

Part 1: Side pocket mandrels

Part2: Flow control devices for side-pocket mandrels

Part3: Running, pulling, and kick-over tools, and latches for side-pocket mandrels

Part 4: Guidelines for application of side-pocket mandrels and related equipment

Introduction

This International Standard has been developed by users/purchasers and suppliers/manufacturers of subsurface side-pocket mandrels, flow control devices used in side-pocket mandrels (hereafter called flow control devices), and associated latches and installation tools that are used in conjunction with side-pocket mandrel flow control devices. This equipment is intended for use in the worldwide petroleum and natural gas industry. This International Standard is intended to provide supporting information, guidelines, and practices to all parties who are involved in the specification, selection, manufacture, testing, and use of side-pocket mandrels, flow control devices, and associated latches and installation tools

In addition to this standard, International Standard ISO 17078-1 provides requirements for side pocket mandrels used in the petroleum and natural gas industry. International Standard ISO 17078-2 provides requirements for flow control devices. And, International Standard ISO 17078-3 provides requirements for latches and installation tools that are used in conjunction with side-pocket mandrel flow control devices.

Note to WG #4. The ISO 17708-4 task group has developed and reviewed Clause 4.0 and Annexes A – F. Clauses A – C have been consolidated into a new Clause A. Clauses D – F have been consolidated into a new Clause B. The other clauses and annexes have not been reviewed since they were copied and/or imported from previous documents. We will need at least another two meetings – May and August, 2006 – to complete a first draft of this document.

Petroleum and Natural Gas Industries— Down hole equipment— Part4: Practices for side-pocket mandrels and related equipment Guidelines for the use of side-pocket mandrel products

1Scope

This International Standard(Technical Report) provides informative information to assist the user/purchaser and the supplier/manufacturer in specification, design, selection, testing, calibration, reconditioning, installation, and use of side-pocket mandrels, flow control devices, and associated latches and installation tools.

Several existing gas-lift application documents are being replaced by the ISO 17078 series on gas-lift:

  • API 11V1
  • API RP 11V2
  • API RP 11V7

Other pertinent gas-lift application information can be found in:

  • API RP 11V5
  • API RP 11V6
  • API RP 11V8
  • API RP 11V9
  • API RP 11V10
