Sub-surface safety valve (SSSV) advisory system-autonomous SSSV troubleshooting device

1. A sub-surface safety valve (SSSV) advisory system, comprising:

a memory; and

a computer processor connected to the memory and that:

generates at least one control signal to perform an open and close sequence for testing a SSSV in a well environment;

measures, during the open and close sequence of the SSSV, an open and close sequence signature of the SSSV;

compares the measured open and close sequence signature to a normal open and close sequence signature of the SSSV to generate a comparison result; and

generates, based on the comparison result, an integrity measure of the SSSV,

wherein the open and close sequence signature comprises a stroke count, pressure flickering indications, a pumped fluid volume, and a retuned fluid volume of the SSS, and

wherein the normal open and close sequence signature is recorded when the SSSV is verified to be functioning properly according to a design specification of the SSSV.

2. The SSSV advisory system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a hydraulic pump that strokes, in response to the at least one control signal, a surface controlled SSSV hydraulic line to open the SSSV in the open and close sequence; and

a hydraulic fluid discharge container that receives the back-flowed fluid volume from the surface controlled SSSV hydraulic line when the SSSV closes in the open and close sequence.

3. The SSSV advisory system of claim 2 ,

wherein the stroke count corresponds to a number of times the hydraulic pump strokes the surface controlled SSSV hydraulic line to cause the SSSV to open in the open and close sequence, and

wherein the pumped fluid volume corresponds to an amount of fluid pumped through the surface controlled SSSV hydraulic line during the number of times the hydraulic pump strokes the surface controlled SSSV hydraulic line.

4. The SSSV advisory system of claim 1 , wherein the normal open and close sequence signature of the SSSV is recorded when the SSSV is verified to be functioning properly according to a design specification of the SSSV.

5. The SSSV advisory system of claim 4 , wherein the normal open and close sequence signature of the SSSV is recorded when the SSSV is initially installed in the well environment.

6. The SSSV advisory system of claim 1 , wherein a rectification operation is performed based on the integrity measure.

7. A method for testing integrity of a sub-surface safety valve (SSSV) in a well environment, the method comprising:

generating at least one control signal to perform an open and close sequence for testing the SSSV in the well environment;

measuring, during the open and close sequence of the SSSV, an open and close sequence signature of the SSSV;

comparing the measured open and close sequence signature to a normal open and close sequence signature of the SSSV to generate a comparison result; and

generating, based on the comparison result, an integrity measure of the SSSV,

wherein the open and close sequence signature comprises a stroke count, pressure flickering indications, a pumped fluid volume, and a retuned fluid volume of the SSS, and

wherein the normal open and close sequence signature is recorded when the SSSV is verified to be functioning properly according to a design specification of the SSSV.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein measuring the open and close sequence signature of the SSSV comprises:

stroking, using a hydraulic pump and in response to the at least one control signal, a surface controlled SSSV hydraulic line to open the SSSV in the open and close sequence; and

receiving, using a hydraulic fluid discharge container, the back-flowed fluid volume from the surface controlled SSSV hydraulic line when the SSSV closes in the open and close sequence.

9. The method of claim 8 ,

wherein the stroke count corresponds to a number of times the hydraulic pump strokes the surface controlled SSSV hydraulic line to cause the SSSV to open in the open and close sequence, and

wherein the pumped fluid volume corresponds to an amount of fluid pumped through the surface controlled SSSV hydraulic line during the number of times the hydraulic pump strokes the surface controlled SSSV hydraulic line.

10. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

recording the normal open and close sequence signature of the SSSV when the SSSV is verified to be functioning properly according to a design specification of the SSSV.

11. The method of claim 7 , further comprising performing a rectification operation based on the integrity measure.
