ACTS Millable Ball Valve (Permanent Locked Open) is a ball actuated fracturing valve designed to stimulate multiple intervals in open hole or cemented well bores. High flow circumferential ports, once opened by ball drop operations, permit continuous communication to the reservoir for high pressure stimulation operations and production. The valve’s internal components have been specifically designed to function reliably after cased hole cementing operations eliminating any concerns of valve lock-up. The valve is actuated by low specific gravity balls available in different material configurations depending on the intended application. One ball material type available is dissolvable when exposed to water and does not require chlorides to be present for dissolving action to occur. The valve’s seats and balls are available in 1.06, 1.59, 2.38, and 3.18 mm (1/24, 1/16, 3/32, and 1/8 in) increments permitting increased interval density capability to enable increased stimulation pump rates and production optimization.
