ESP hydraulic activated valve

1 . A system comprising:

a valve, comprising:

a body having a flow path extending axially therethrough;

a closure element movably disposed along a valve channel formed within the body,

wherein the closure element comprises side wings on opposite sides,

wherein when the closure element is in a closed position, the closure element seals the flow path, and

wherein when the closure element is in an open position, the flow path is completely open; and

a pressure system connected to the valve, the pressure system comprising:

a fluid source fluidly connected via a flowline to a plurality of nozzles positioned around the valve channel, the plurality of nozzles comprising:

cleaning nozzles disposed circumferentially around the valve channel; and

a jetting nozzle having an outlet configured to direct fluid pressure to the closure element;

wherein, when a first pressure is applied from the fluid source to the plurality of nozzles, the fluid pressure is directed from the jetting nozzle toward the closure element to move the closure element from the closed position to the open position, and

wherein, when a second pressure is applied from the fluid source to the plurality of nozzles, the fluid pressure is directed from the cleaning nozzles into the valve channel,

wherein the second pressure is greater than the first pressure.

2 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a Y-tool connected to the system by a bypass line of the Y-tool.

3 . The system of claim 2 , further comprising an electrical submersible pump (ESP) fluidly connected to the Y-tool by a pump line.

4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the system and the ESP are in axially spaced apart positions relative to each other.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the jetting nozzle is connected to a hydraulic pump by the flowline.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is installed at a downhole location in a well, and the fluid source is at a surface location.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of nozzles is spring-loaded nozzles.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the valve is a gate valve.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the pressure system is a closed hydraulic system isolated from the flow path of the valve.

10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the jetting nozzle sprays hydraulic fluid to the side wings to slide the valve to open the valve.

11 . A method of using a system comprising:

providing a Y-tool along a production tubing in a well,

wherein the system is connected to a bypass line of the Y-tool, and an electric submersible pump (ESP) is connected to a pump line of the Y-tool, and

wherein the system comprises:

a valve having a flow path extending axially through a body of the valve; and

a closure element movably disposed along a valve channel formed within the body,

wherein when the closure element is in a closed position, the closure element seals the flow path, and

wherein when the closure element is in an open position, the flow path is completely open;

a side wing disposed along a side of the valve;

connecting a pressure system to the valve, the pressure system comprising:

a fluid source fluidly connected via a flowline to a plurality of nozzles positioned around the valve channel, wherein the plurality of nozzles comprises cleaning nozzles and a jetting nozzle;

directing hydraulic pressure from the fluid source to the plurality of nozzles, comprising:

applying a first pressure through the jetting nozzle to the closure element to move the closure element to the open position;

applying a second pressure, greater than the first pressure, through the cleaning nozzles into the valve channel to clean the valve channel; and

releasing the first pressure to slide the closure element back to the closed position.

12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising operating the ESP while the closure element is in the closed position.

13 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising turning off the ESP prior to moving the closure element to the open position.

14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the jetting nozzle is spring activated to an open configuration when the first pressure is applied to the jetting nozzle.

15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the jetting nozzle sprays hydraulic fluid to the side wing to slide the valve.

16 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising sliding the valve to open the valve.

17 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising installing the system at a downhole location in the well, wherein the fluid source is at a surface.

18 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising isolating the pressure system, a closed hydraulic system, from the flow path of the valve.

19 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the hydraulic fluid flows within a closed hydraulic system.
