A valve to improve hydraulic fracturing performance
This company has proven in field trials that its new V3 valve (photo) significantly increases performance hours in high-pressure hydraulic fracturing operations. GD Redline valves and seats are designed for maximum performance and reliability, with the full-open, bonded design providing optimal flow efficiency and maximum sealing. The V3 valve has undergone a complete redesign to improve metallurgy and heat treatment resulting in enhanced wear resistance and strength. During field trials in the Eagle Ford, Permian and Marcellus shale plays, increased performance of up to 46% over the leading competitor was observed. In the Permian basin, performance of the V2 and V3 could be compared, with an increase in performance of 81% witnessed. — Gardner Denver High Pressure Solutions (GD), Houston
