Product catalog summary
Overview
Cameron multitrim choke valves are engineered for both production and drilling applications, providing modular solutions that adapt to evolving field conditions. These valves facilitate continuous adjustment of trim configurations, reducing the time and costs associated with replacing chokes in challenging well environments.
Production Applications
  • CAM20-MT: 2-inch nominal multitrim choke with an angled body.
  • CAM20-MT inline: 2-inch nominal multitrim choke with an inline body.
  • CAM30-MT: 3-inch nominal multitrim choke with an angled body.
Drilling Applications
  • CAM30-DC: 3-inch nominal multitrim drilling choke with an angled body.
  • CAM40-DC: 4-inch nominal multitrim drilling choke with an angled body.
  • CAM70-DC: 7-inch nominal multitrim drilling choke with an angled body.
Interchangeable Solutions
Trim interchangeability boosts operational efficiency by enabling a single choke to handle various conditions, minimizing maintenance needs and extending equipment lifespan. Different trim types, such as External FS and Needle-and-Seat (N&S), are selected based on the well's life stage and conditions.
Trim Changeout Scenarios
  • Early to midlife: Controlled startup and severe sandy service utilize External FS trim.
  • Midlife to late life: Peak production and maximum flow scenarios employ N&S trim.
Choke Model Specifications
Each choke model offers distinct trim types and maximum orifice sizes, with corresponding Cv values, tailored to specific operational requirements.
Multiple Trims, One Choke Body
Multitrim drilling choke valves are adaptable for various applications, including well control and testing. They provide multiple actuation options and interchangeable trims, enhancing flexibility and operational efficiency.
Optimizing MPD and Dual-Gradient Operations
Advanced drilling techniques necessitate chokes that can swiftly respond to fluctuating well parameters. The external FS trim offers high control resolution and erosion resistance, essential for maintaining stable wellbore pressure.
Actuation Options
Chokes can be easily switched between electric and manual operation, with electric actuation providing precise control and performance unaffected by ambient temperature.
Specifications and Maintenance
Chokes are designed to comply with API standards, offering options for high-pressure ratings and various end connections. Maintenance is streamlined with interchangeable components and conversion kits.
Choke Selection and Critical Control
Chokes are vital for managing pressure reduction and flow rate control, crucial for well startup and production. Proper selection and operation prevent equipment failure and ensure optimal production levels.

Multitrim drilling choke valves are a creative solution for a broad spectrum of drilling and well testing related applications, including well control, choke and kill, MPD, flowback, and well testing manifold systems. They include the long-established G&S-type drilling trims and offer the versatility to switch between this and a variety of other trim styles — all within a single choke. The G&S trim can be easily replaced with the external FS trim for greater controllability and erosion resistance. These chokes also offer multiple actuation options, from manual handwheel to hydraulic and variable...

Multitrim Production Choke Valves When specifying chokes for production-based applications, a fundamental challenge is accurately defining the flowing conditions and identifying potential complexities for the intended service. This information is vital in selecting the most appropriate choke type, trim style, and flow capacity for the choke such that it correctly aligns with the actual field conditions. Adapt the choke to the operating environment Although fully predicting the range of operating conditions is impossible, managing these unknowns and mitigating the potential risk requires versatility....
