Kelly Valve Ball Type

Product Description

Petroleum exploration and development equipment refers to comprehensive equipment for oil and natural gas exploration, drilling, development, storage and transportation, including various types of geophysical prospecting and logging equipment, drilling equipment, oil and gas production equipment, downhole operation equipment, oil and gas gathering and transportation Equipment, offshore drilling platform equipment, etc. and related accessories and tools; oil refining and petrochemical equipment refers to the complete set of equipment required in the whole process of oil and natural gas processing and conversion, including general equipment (such as various process compressors, expanders, etc.) , pumps and valves, etc.) and medical equipment (such as reactors, towers, heat exchange equipment, industrial furnaces, storage and transportation equipment, medical machinery, etc.). The equipment specifications and parameters of the oil refining and petrochemical industry are determined by the process of the oil refining and petrochemical industry. The oil refining and petrochemical industry is a process industry. The requirements for automation are high, and it is required to be able to run continuously and stably for a long period of time, so there are high requirements for the reliability of the equipment. The oil and gas exploration, development and production process is characterized by multiple links, complex technologies, and high individual requirements.


Kelly valve is a manually operated ball type valve for the drill stem, divided into upper and lower sections. The upper Kelly valve is connected between lower end of swivel and upper end of Kelly. The lower Kelly valve is connected between upper end of drill pipe and lower end of Kelly or lower end of Kelly saver subs. The Kelly valve can be opened or closed off by simply turning a special operating wrench 90° according to indicated direction.

The sealing principle for Kelly valve is to ensure a close seat between the ball and the ball seat. The lower seat is supported by a spring. The force provided by the spring keep the ball securely in place with lower seat.

During normal drilling operation, the hole is kept unblocked by turning the stem to "on" position; In case of kick or blowout, turn the operating stem to "off" position to close off the internal bore of drill string, the kick or blowout accident is avoided due to a high pressure sealing situation between ball and the ball seat.
