Baker Hughes Introduces V1-Rated Barrier Valve for HP/HT Environments

Baker Hughes announced the commercial release of its Vault™ barrier valve, which provides an ISO-qualified barrier in the wellbore to help protect the lower completion and minimize costly fluid loss during well construction. Because of its high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) ratings, debris-tolerant design, and ability to perform multiple open/close cycles, the valve offers increased operational reliability and flexibility.
