The PulseEight Electronic Ambient Valve (EAV) has control, power, monitoring and communications built in. It is designed to conduct downhole shut-ins and re-establish lost well control with fewer of the constraints of insert valves and storm chokes.
The self-monitoring device also uses a subset of Tendeka’s Fluid Harmonics wireless telemetry to send a daily health-check to surface, thereby removing the uncertainty associated with traditional tooling. With increased functionality, the tool can respond to more trigger events over a broader range of flowing conditions that restricted the functioning of traditional storm chokes.
