HOUMA, Louisiana – CORTEC says that it has successfully completed field testing for its new remotely operated NX1 model hydraulic choke, a design that is said to increase service life during harsh flowback operations and allow easier field service by the end user.
The NX1 choke offers a compact, two-inch, 1502 choke layout, and CORTEC says that the device is an ideal option to control pressure and flow rates for drilling applications via remote operations. With a lightweight design, CORTEC says that the NX1 can be easily adapted into existing manifolds, and offers a range of union or flanged end connections.
Stephen Corte, vice president, CORTEC, said: “The NX1 is a field-proven hydraulic choke model designed to increase service life while providing a significant amount of cost savings and efficiencies during harsh drilling applications. We are thrilled to be able to offer our customers this unique, compact choke and control solution that requires minimal maintenance in the field.”
