A choke manifold is a system of valves and chokes for controlling
the flow from the well and Choke manifold is used during well
testing.
Choke Manifold has these principal functions:
It allows wellhead pressure to be controlled, improving safety.
It maintains a certain flow rate, as required for testing. A test
can require different flow rates over several time periods,
requiring the use of different choke sizes.
It prevents formation sand from entering the well by limiting the
flow rate. Limiting the flow rate reduces the speed of the fluid,
which in turn, minimizes the amount of sand entering the well.
It also prevents water and gas coning by limiting the flow rate.
It is also used to ensure that the flow is critical, meaning that
the pressure fluctuations downstream of the choke manifold do
not affect downhole pressure and flow rate of the well.
Our Choke manifolds are available in 5,000; 10,000; and
15,000 psi working pressure, all bore sizes.
