Side Pocket Mandrels feature a tapered oval cross section which offers the advantage of providing an internal profile that guides the valve being installed toward the pocket. The pocket is offset to clear the tubing bore which maximizes the flow area and permits passage of tools through the mandrel without meeting restriction. The external shape allows dual string installations without requiring a reduced mandrel I.D. Internal tool deflectors protect the latch by preventing tools larger than the pulling/running tool from entering the latch recess. Each design features a positioning sleeve to provide positive mandrel location and orientation for insertion of the valve into the offset pocket. End connections are available in both EU and / or premium thread configurations.

The T Series mandrels for 1.5inch valves are available for tubing sizes up to 7 inch O.D. and the TM series for 1 inch valves are available for tubing sizes to 4.5 inch O.D. Both series feature multiple porting variations to accommodate wireline installation of valves for gas lift, chemical injection, fluid circulation or waterflood injection. They can be run in the initial string of a flowing well completion so that it can be converted to gas lift at a later date.
