Introducing the ALII Tool

ALII – Artificial Lift Intake Isolation Tool. This technology is a leading solution for preventing methane emissions to the environment, as it enables operations to be performed without killing the well and without venting (releasing) annular gas to the atmosphere.

The ALII Tool is a tubing isolation valve that provides positive well control before breaking wellhead containment. By design, the patented ALII is the only tubing isolation valve that utilizes the existing rod pump and rod string to function the valve open and close.

ALII allows you to change a polish rod or surface a rod pump under any condition, regardless of harmful gases, bottom hole pressure or temperature. The system eliminates the requirement for water or other more undesirable viscous fluids to maintain well control. A small amount of degreaser or de-waxer is all that is needed to clean the sucker rod string before surfacing it. Cost reductions will be drastic and immediate.

Zero Methane

Prevents methane emissions without venting gas

Positive Control

No well kill fluid required before breaking containment

Cost Reductions

Immediate savings on kill fluid disposal and rig time

Environment

Environmentally responsible technology that significantly reduces local water use, eliminates kill fluid disposal, and minimizes methane emissions by operating without killing the well or venting annular gas.

Safety

New patented technology isolates the production tubing string in an oil well, provides positive well control and eliminates the need to “kill the well” before breaking containment at the wellhead.

Product Service

Our primary product is the patented Artificial Lift Intake Isolation Tool. The ALII tool is a unique and innovative solution for increased cost efficiency.

What Makes ALII Different

  • By design, the patented ALII Tool is the only tubing isolation valve that utilizes the existing rod pump and rod string to function the valve.
  • ALII can be installed on any artificial lift well that utilizes a sucker-rod pumping system.
  • The ALII Tool offers a unique advantage in the market by being the only tubing isolation valve that does not require the pump and rod string to be removed from the well post installation.
  • ALII does not require additional equipment to be added to the wellbore design to operate the valve (i.e. external control lines, clamps and bands, etc.).

Product Specifications

  • Easy to install, end user friendly, minimal training.
  • Multiple sizes: 2 3/8" to 5 1/2" (73mm to 139.7mm).
  • Tested and able to resist external pressure up to 10,152 psi (70,000 kPa).
  • Suitable for high temperature thermal wells, max 650°F (343°C).

Product Composition

  • Standard tool is manufactured with L-80 exterior components and L-80 Boronize internal components.
  • The ALII can be manufactured in 13 Chrome, P-110, Inconel, Stainless Steel, etc.
  • It can be dressed with high temperature seals.
  • Shear pins for snubbing-in on high pressure wells.
