kentintrolWELL PROFILE CHANGES
• Chokes are generally designed to suit the original flow parameters. However for various reasons these parameters may change during the life of the field
• Introduction of water injection
• Increased sand production
• Change from Production wells to Injection wells
• Subsea tie backs to manifold chokes

kentintrolWELL PROFILE CHANGES?
• These changes in the flow parameters can lead to severe damage to the existing chokes
• Seat leakage
• Cavitation
• Sand erosion
• Trim blockage
• Trim collapse
• Problems
• Vibration
• Noise
• Poor control
• Lost production
• High maintenance
• Damage to downstream equipment

kentintrolCONCLUSIONS
o When well conditions change, the choke may no longer be suitable
o Sizing against the actual flowing parameters will allow for the correct selection of the choke internals
o Existing subsea chokes can be enhanced to accommodate the new process parameters
o Correctly selected velocity control trim technology and the use of superior trim materials does improve the life expectancy of the choke and downstream equipment
o This all leads to the life extension of the asset
