Surface-controlled subsurface safety valve (SCSSV)
A downhole safety valve that is operated from surface facilities through a control line strapped to the external surface of the production tubing. Two basic types of SCSSV are common: wireline retrievable, whereby the principal safety-valve components can be run and retrieved on slickline, and tubing retrievable, in which the entire safety-valve assembly is installed with the tubing string. The control system operates in a fail-safe mode, with hydraulic control pressure used to hold open a ball or flapper assembly that will close if the control pressure is lost.
Corrosion Resistance
2507 Duplex is highly resistant to uniform corrosion by organic ac Super Duplex 2507 Plateids such as formic and acetic acid. It is also highly resistant to inorganic acids, especially if they contain chlorides. Alloy 2507 is highly resistant to carbide-related intergranular corrosion. Due to the ferritic portion of the duplex structure of the alloy it is very resistant to stress corrosion cracking in warm chloride containing environments. Through additions of chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen localized corrosion such as pitting and crevice attack are improved. Alloy 2507 has excellent localized pitting resistance.

Flatpacks are commonly used when several different lines are terminated at approximately the same depth in the well.
Common applications include intelligent well systems, deep-set chemical injection lines with downhole gauge cable and safety valve lines with shallow set chemical injection lines. For some applications bumper bars are also encapsulated into the flatpack to provide additional crush resistance.
