Abstract

See full text

A downhole chemical injection system for positioning in a well. The system includes a generally tubular mandrel having an axially extending internal passageway and an exterior. The mandrel includes an injection port in fluid communication with the internal passageway or the exterior of the mandrel. A chemical injection line is coupled to the mandrel and is operable to transport a treatment fluid from a surface installation to the mandrel. A check valve is supported by the mandrel and is in downstream fluid communication with the chemical injection line. A density barrier is fluidically positioned between the check valve and the injection port. The density barrier has an axial loop and a circumferential loop relative to the mandrel forming an omnidirectional low density fluid trap, thereby preventing migration of production fluid from the injection port to check valve regardless of the directional orientation of the well.
