Gas Lift Valves

Flowco gas lift valves are engineered to inject consistently through every cycle, helping mature wells continue to perform as if they were just getting started.

What is a Gas Lift Valve?

Gas lift valves are precision instruments at the core of artificial lift systems, enabling consistent injection of lift gas to optimize production. Installed at strategic depths within the tubing string, these valves open and close in response to pressure changes, reducing hydrostatic head and lifting fluids to surface with maximum efficiency.
Maximum uptime: Reliable performance in harsh environments
Precision-engineered: Accurate opening/closing for optimized lift
Minimal intervention: Wireline retrievable designs save time and trips
Thermally stable: Inconel bellows PPO valves resist temperature effects
Flexible compatibility: Tailored solutions for single or dual completions

How It Works

Understanding Gas Lift Valves

As injection gas enters the casing annulus, the gas lift valve responds to increasing pressure. Once the activation threshold is reached, the valve opens and allows gas to enter the tubing, lightening the fluid column. Flowco valves are engineered for precise response, enabling your well to lift more with less.

Types of Gas Lift Valves

Injection Pressure Operated (IPO) Valve
Production Pressure Operated (PPO) Valve
Wireline Retrievable Valve
Nitrogen-charged dome valves that activate when casing pressure exceeds dome pressure, ideal for single completions and conventional gas lift systems.
  • Dome-charged with nitrogen
  • Bellows-operated for sensetive actuation
  • Time-tested for high-rate wells

Valves driven by a corrosion-resistant Inconel spring rather than dome charge. Ideal for high-temperature wells and dual completion scenarios.
  • Spring-loaded (no dome)
  • Immune to thermal changes
  • Reliable in dual string installations

Wireline Retrievable Valves are installed via wireline in side-pocket mandrels for quick swap-outs without tubing trips.
  • Simplified maintenance
  • Realtime replacements
  • Efficient for remote or high-cost intervention sites
