The Southern Area Oil Production Department of Saudi Aramco had identified a candidate well in the Uthmaniyah Field, Well UTMN-69 where the Master Valve had been badly leaking with an average leak rate of 1,300 psi per minute in a fully closed position. Following the observation of the valve and the leak rate, it was decided the best approach for this particular valve was to try using RS Clare’s Valve Sealant 701.
The primary objective of using RS Clare’s Valve Sealant 701 was to completely stop the leakage and maintain zero pressure from the Wellhead Master Valve in UTMN-69.
