The Product
The ShearLift-A
Interwell’s ShearLift-ATM annulus pressure activated Gas Lift Operating Valves, are accredited to the most extreme barrier and erosion testing requirements. ShearLift-A’s unique design eliminates the need to run a dummy valve, thus saving significant time during well completion or commissioning. The product family has an excellent track record since its introduction in 2009.
Application
When completing new gas lift wells the standard practice is often to install dummy valves in all side pocket mandrels. These dummy valves provide a barrier between the annulus and the tubing during the well completion phase.
ShearLift-ATM valve has a unique design, which utilizes the barrier technology from the standard SafeLift. The ShearLift-A valve provides a barrier between the tubing and annulus when installed in a side pocket mandrel.
The check valve is held in the closed position by a shear device located in the nose section of the valve. Increasing the annulus to tubing differential pressure, to a predetermined level shears the valve open. This allows communication from annulus to tubing.
Costly change out of dummy valves in new completions can be avoided using ShearLift-A.
Key Benefits
- Field proven design and operation
- Considerable time saving, as no wireline intervention required prior to production start up
- Best in class reliability and longevity ensures enhanced productivity and well integrity
- Offers protection against tubing collapse (ShearLift-ATM)
- Minimizes the need for interventions

Application Areas
Production Optimization
Prevent water influx, increase oil and gas production, and extend well lifespan. Isolate zones, retrofit gas lift, and optimize revenue through tailored solutions.
Interventionless Completion Installations
Interwell enhances production and eliminates intervention needs during and after completion installations by providing remotely operated completion tools.
Rigless Installation of VXT
The Inter Remote Bypass Valve (IRBV) enhances efficiency in subsea operations with a vertical x-mas tree (VXT). It enables batch operations and reduces costs by minimizing rig time and interventions, providing a remotely controlled, pressure-cycled barrier compliant with ISO standards.
