What Are Gas Lift Valves & Mandrels?

A gas lift system relies on the precise operation of valves and mandrels to regulate injection gas and sustain production. Valves open at pre-set pressures to introduce gas into the production tubing, reducing hydrostatic head and lifting fluids to surface. Mandrels serve as the hardware that houses these valves within the tubing string, whether installed at surface or deployed by wireline.

Flowco offers a complete portfolio of gas lift valves and mandrels designed for reliability, flexibility, and field-proven performance.

How It Works

Understanding Downhole Equipment

The bypass valve allows flow during descent, ensuring no shut-in time.
Upon reaching the BHA, the valve seals, lifting liquids to the surface efficiently.
Higher cycle frequency delivers continuous fluid removal and more consistent well performance.

The Flowco Advantage: Why Choose Our Gas Lift Hardware?

Engineered for precision, built for reliability, and proven in the field.

Proven Valve Technology

IPO (injection pressure operated) and PPO (production pressure operated) valves ensure consistent, reliable performance.

Flexible Mandrel Options

Conventional and side-pocket designs for any completion strategy.

High-Pressure Capability

Tubing-retrievable mandrels tested to 10,000 psi for demanding well environments.

Multi-Application Designs

Support for gas lift, chemical injection, circulation, waterflood, and chamber lift applications.

Durability & Longevity

Precision manufacturing protects mandrels from frac interference, corrosion, and wear.

Types of Valves & Mandrels

Gas Lift Valves
Tubing-Retrievable Mandrels (Conventional)
Side-Pocket Mandrels
Valves regulate lift gas injection by responding to wellbore and surface pressures. Flowco’s portfolio includes IPO valves with nitrogen-charged domes and PPO valves with Inconel springs for stable performance under temperature fluctuations.
  • Pressure-activated designs for accurate gas delivery
  • Available in retrievable or tubing-mounted options
  • Resistant to temperature effects (PPO with Inconel spring)
  • Ideal for single and dual string completions

Installed at surface with valves pre-loaded, tubing-retrievable mandrels provide durable, permanent gas lift hardware in the production string.
  • Secure installation with production tubing
  • External ported lugs for attaching gas lift devices
  • High-pressure options tested to 10,000 psi
  • Reliable protection against offset frac interference

Designed for flexibility, side-pocket mandrels allow operators to install or replace valves with wireline, without pulling the tubing string.
  • Wireline retrievable for quick servicing
  • Side pocket profiles for gas lift, chemical injection, circulation, and kill operations
  • Multiple porting configurations for custom applications
  • Reduced intervention costs and downtime

“Switching to Flowco side-pocket mandrels gave us the flexibility to change valves on the fly without a workover. Downtime dropped significantly, and we were able to keep our wells producing through seasonal fluctuations.”

Production Engineer, Major OperatorPermian Basin

Case Study & Field Results

“Swapping to Flowco PPO valves extended run life by 2.5x on our high-temp South Texas wells. Zero dome failures, and our crews haven’t pulled tubing in over a year.”
