<strong>Subsurface</strong> safety valves provide<br />

the ultimate protection against<br />

uncontrolled flow from producing oil<br />

and gas wells in case of<br />

catastrophic damage to wellhead<br />

equipment.<br />

Their use offshore is legislated in<br />

many parts of the world to protect<br />

people and the environment.<br />

<strong>Safety</strong> valves have evolved from<br />

the relatively simple downhole<br />

devices of the 1940s to complex<br />

systems that are integral<br />

components in offshore well<br />

completions worldwide.<br />
