FPV Defender™ Production Stinger
Product Overview
The FPV Defender™ Production Stinger is a downhole flow-control device installed directly below the ESP pump to open FPV bi-directional valves during deployment and provide a controlled flow path during production. The tool ensures reliable annulus isolation, stable ESP operation, and safe retrieval during servicing.
Key Features
- Trips open FPV bi-directional valves on set-down and locks them open for production
- Integrated check valve isolates upper annulus when the ESP is shut down
- External sealing system directs all production flow through the stinger ID
- Angled upper ports deliver produced fluids into the ESP intake
- Straight pickup retrieval together with the ESP assembly
Applications & Production Scenarios
- ESP wells requiring reliable annulus isolation without kill fluids
- High-temperature deviated wells where ESP spacing must compensate for thermal growth
- Wells using FPV Defender™ bi-directional barrier valves
- Operations requiring rapid ESP pull and re-run with minimal intervention
Advantages
- Dual-function design: valve actuation + production conduit in a single tool
- Internal check valve provides automatic isolation without additional intervention tools
- Seal-to-PBR interface ensures clean, controlled flow and prevents ESP compression during heat-up
- Fully retrievable with ESP—no secondary fishing interface required
Compatibility
- Fully compatible with FPV Defender™ Valve Assembly
- Lands into Anchor Latch Sub with Polished Bore
- Designed for all ESP configurations using Frontier Oil Tools FPV systems
Certifications & Quality Assurance
- Manufactured to Frontier Oil Tools quality standards
- Pressure-tested to specified ratings
- Compliant with standard ESP completion QA/QC procedures
