Sharp Phase Change in Shape Memory Alloy Thermal Actuators for Subsea Flow Control

Gas-lifted oil wells are susceptible to failure through malfunction of gas lift valves (GLV). One failure mode occurs when the GLV check valve fails and product passes into the well annulus, potentially reaching the wellhead. This is a growing concern as offshore wells are drilled thousands of meter...
