The Product
The Inter Remote Shatter Valve (IRSV)
The IRSV is a qualified barrier valve, which is remotely opened. It can be integrated as part of the completion string or installed below an intervention packer. By cycling the well pressure above the valve for a predetermined number of cycles, the barrier element will shatter. This leaves a full bore ID through the valve for production or intervention. No parts of the barrier element will remain when production starts.
The glass element is designed to withstand extreme bidirectional loads and high temperatures. Only a small volume of glass is required to hold the load and the glass disintegrates into small particles after removal.
Application
The IRSV provides a barrier when running new completion strings. It’s used for setting the completion packer and pressure integrity testing of the tubing. This protects lower zones while finishing of the upper completion installation is performed.
Remote actuation enables complete removal of the barrier without any further intervention. When used along with a barrier intervention packer, such as the LBP, ME or HPHT, the IRSV provides an intervention barrier that can be remotely opened by pressure cycling. The barrier packer can then be retrieved at a convenient time.

Application Areas
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 minimising rig time and interventions, providing a remotely controlled, pressure-cycled barrier compliant with ISO standards.
Flow Control
We offer a wide range of products during and after the completion phase. Our flow control products are tested to highest level of industry standards and provide reduced time and HSE risks.
