Valve Lubricant 601™

The Valve Lubricant 601TM range is one of the Industry’s most successful and most widely used gate valve lubricant ranges. It was designed to provide exceptional performance across the widest range of well operating conditions, processes and equipment applications.

Valve Lubricant 601TM delivers operational cost savings across key areas by achieving:

601 holds a large library of case studies, field success testimonials and performance reports and is widely acknowledged across the industry by Field Operators, Drilling Contractors, Well Intervention and Workover Companies. It is approved by several leading API 6A OEMs and holds the most approvals for any single product grade.

Cost effective performance

Valve Lubricant 601™ hydrocarbon resistance gives it the ability to remain in the valve cavity and ensure operational protection to the valve’s critical internal components. By protecting the gate and seat, the sealing surfaces remain in good condition, and ensure the valve can deliver an integral ‘metal to metal’ seal when closed. The high performance lubricating ability of 601 not only protects the interfacing seal surfaces, often moving relatively under high contact stress, but also lubrication of the non-rising stem thread on manually actuated valves.

Unbeatable cavity retention

The physical texture of 601 is such that it delivers an effective blocking barrier, when completely filled in the valve cavity. This has been proven to be extremely beneficial in well testing operations where high sand production is often encountered. In frac operations, there is potential for ingress of proppant media during injection and sand during flow-back, which can cause major valve problems. 601 has been field proven to remain in the valve cavity, reducing ingress of contaminants dramatically and delivering significant valve performance benefits.

Enhanced sealing capabilities

Valve Lubricant 601™ performs effectively when there is some leakage across the valve, indicating damage to the seal surfaces. Field experience shows that in 65 – 75% of cases of leaking valves, Valve Lubricant 601™ helps operators achieve a zero leak-off rate.

Winter grade

Valve Lubricant 601™ WG performs effectively when temperatures are below -20°F. Valve Lubricant 601™ WG has been field proven all over the world in gate, plug and ball valves used in crude oil, natural gas production and pipeline equipment. It is particularly suited for use where sour crude and gas, acids, sand slurries and difficult condensates are encountered.

Valve lubricants for carbon capture & storage operations

RS Clare teamed up with Schlumberger and a prominent IOC (International Oil Company) to conduct a detailed analysis on Valve Lubricant 601TM and how it behaves when mixed with Supercritical CO2.

Testimonial

“We were pleased with how quickly 601 stopped the leaking on the valves we trialled and we're using this in all of our UMV's to protect the valves from damage and minimise the risk of leaking in the future.”
