The Brace Tool Quick Test Sub (QTS) is engineered to enhance efficiency and minimize non-productive time (NPT) during the pressure testing of wireline pressure control equipment strings, particularly when multiple wireline runs are necessary.
Positioned either above or below the wireline valve, the QTS is placed at the joint typically opened for tool insertion and retrieval. Following the initial pressure test that confirms the integrity of the entire string, the QTS enables swift and straightforward subsequent pressure tests. By connecting a small hydraulic hand pump to the QTS, the integrity of the disconnected joint is verified externally, cutting down the time required for each subsequent pressure test by about 30 minutes.
