US Patent 11661826 Well flow control using delayed secondary safety valve

A flow control system for a well includes a primary safety valve and a secondary safety valve disposable within a valve body of the primary safety valve. The secondary safety valve may include a control line port for receiving control fluid pressure from the same control line as the primary safety valve. A choke in fluid communication with the control line port delays a closing of the secondary safety valve relative to a closing of the primary safety valve in response to a decrease in the control fluid pressure.
