What happens to the SCSSV (Subsurface safety valve) when there is something wrong with the surface equipment?
- It starts injecting chemicals
- It closes automatically (correct)
- It regulates well pressure
- It remains open

Study Notes
Functions of Tubing
- Used for production
- Acts as a killing string
- Used for injection of chemicals
- Can accommodate gas lift gas valves to assist well liquids to the surface (gas lifting process)
Considerations for Tubing in Completion
- Tubing strength
- Tubing connection
- Tubing movement
Subsurface Safety Valves (SSSV)
- Installed in the tubing string below or near the surface
- Controlled by hydraulic pressure through a capillary (control) line connected to a surface control panel
- Normally closed (failsafe) valve that requires continuous hydraulic pressure to keep it open
- Remains open during normal fluid flow and closes when surface equipment fails
Packers
- A device made of metal and rubber that fits around the tubing
- Provides a seal between the inside of the production casing and outside of the tubing string
- Must not restrict normal production flow
- Types of packers: retrievable, isolation, and production (A- Retrievable, B- Permanent)
- Functions:
- Protects casing from well pressure and corrosion
- Used for subsurface well control
- Used as an anchor for the tubing
