Mitigate drilling hazards with the industry’s most versatile
drilling valve
A COMPLETE redesign of the ball-activated Centurion Circulating Valve (CCV): greatly improved reliability and increased applicability
•
A drilling specialist’s ideal tool for mitigating drilling hazards
•
It is a drilling valve for use in operations that may encounter lost circulation, wellbore instability or hole-cleaning challenges.
-
5-in., 7-in., 8 ¼-in. and limited 9 ½-in. OD sizes to cover every hole size
-
Short one-piece body with no internal threads (no bucking machine needed)
-
Features an oil-filled chamber with a floating piston that isolates the tool-activation mechanism from drilling fluids and debris

A drilling valve that is activated via steel ball, offering a variety of options to the operator:
•
Reduced pressure drop allows greatly increased pump rates to aid cuttings-beds removal with higher fluid-flow velocities
•
Coarse lost-circulation or wellbore-strengthening materials can bypass sensitive
downholedrilling tools and be easily placed in the loss zone
•
Kill-weight fluid can be pumped in underbalanced or managed-pressure drilling applications before initiating a trip
•
Excellent for hole cleaning during underreaming, hole-opening, or coring operations
•
The tool can condition fluid at high flow rates in any drilling or displacement string
•
Helps fill or drain the drillstringduring trips to control surge and swab pressures and to enhance tripping operations by minimizing fluid discharge
Often referred to as a “Drilling By

Pass Sub Valve” or “Circulating Valve”
