Well Control
The Float Valve Sub is an important drill string component used to prevent reverse flow of drilling mud or fluids back into the drill pipe during drilling operations. It is commonly installed near the bit connection and can also be applied at other required positions of the drill string.
UNIONLEVER OFS supplies Flapper and Plunger type Float Valve Subs, designed to automatically close under backflow conditions, helping to avoid mud influx, pipe blockage, and potential well control risks during drilling.
