B Shifting Tool

A-BST, A-175 – B Shifting Tool

The B Shifting Tool is designed to selectively locate and shift most sliding sleeves. This is accomplished by the Shifting Tool keys engaging the sliding sleeve insert and depending on the direction the tool is run, up or down, the sleeve is shifted. The B shifting tool is used to locate and either open or close a sliding sleeve.

The B type shifting tool open or close a desired sliding side sleeve by simply deploying the tools with the keys facing upwards to shift the inner sleeve upwards, or downwards to shift the inner sleeve downwards.

The selective keys allow the Shifting Tool to perform an unlimited number of shifting operations of a given type without coming out of the well. The shear release keys, on the other hand, can only perform one opening operation after which the tool must be brought back to the surface for redress
