Patent 8714264 was granted and assigned to Baker Hughes on May, 2014 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A side pocket mandrel has openings to receive a plurality of valves such that the flow of fluid from outside the string and into the tubular such as in gas lift will flow through the valves in series. The side pocket mandrel that has a single valve pocket can also be used in tandem with another similar side pocket mandrel to get the same dual barrier configuration to meet requirements of many jurisdictions of such a valve arrangement for tubular wall openings.
