Based on gate valve technology to cut and seal wireline / slickline, this product is equipment with a hydraulically-actuated gate made to shear and seal wireline / slickline of a given specification in the wellbore. A seal is made after the shearing, isolating the pressure/fluids from both upstream and downstream. The wireline / slickline cutting valve is powered by accumulators and can be overridden via ROV manual over-ride.
The WOM wireline cutting valve is actuated by fail-safe close actuator and spring force is used in cutting of wireline. In addition to spring force, hydraulic pressure can be used for assisting while closing of valve.
