Wellhead production choke valves can cause unnecessary flaring if not accurately controlled. Workers must also drive to remote sites several times monthly to check and manually operate valves. The control valves have historically been operated by pneumatic diaphragm actuators that use the well-stream gas as their motive power, releasing methane every time the valve is stroked. To reduce these emissions, some operators have replaced well-stream gas with air compressors, which require a lot of energy. Electric actuators do not vent, and many provide one-piece actuation solutions, which reduce the risk of failure compared to the typical pneumatic solution involving multiple pieces of equipment. Electric actuators are more energy-efficient since they only consume electricity when in operation. They provide the required torques and thrusts while operating at the necessary speeds for choke and process control valves. In addition, they offer the highest resolution output and modulating duty for accurate pressure and flow rate control. During the webinar, we will explain the main reasons for selecting electric solutions for wellhead valve control: automation, process control, and energy efficiency. Each of these reasons benefits the operator and reduces environmental impact while increasing efficiency, safety, and profitability.
