The Role Of The Float Valve In Petrochemical Drilling

At Quality Float Works, we truly appreciate the opportunity to share the benefits of our non-standardized products for larger industries. Today we discuss the petrochemical industry, where our stainless steel floating valves are used to prevent the unwanted flow of fluid from the drill string during drilling of natural gas and oil. At Quality Float Works we are proud to supply the industries that feed our country and we are pleased to share with you how our innovative products can have a significant impact on these operations.

Small device with a lot of work

Our most used product in petrochemical drilling is the floating tubular valve. These small mechanisms play an important role in preventing the movement of perforated fluids where they should not. In submarine or underground drilling, they prevent the entry of gas and oil into the sea or aquifers. Also known as check valves, these bottom drain valves create an effective barrier that blocks unwanted fluid flows in the drilling string.

Just another crew member

As a member of the trusted team, the float rod of the drilling rod works hard. A float valve blocks the flow of fluid when the equipment at the well site establishes or interrupts connections. This important work cannot be done by man. Therefore, it provides an unparalleled value for the operation, freeing the crew and helping to protect the environment, avoiding dangerous losses.

Choose the correct floating valve

Since every gas and oil project is different, it is very important to determine the correct float valve for the drilling pipe for its unique application. There are different types of valves that are used differently for each specific application. Factors such as temperature, pressure and the type of fluid with which the float operates determine the exact type of float to be used.
