Grease Injection Control Head (GICH) is required to obtain a seal when using braided line for heavy duty such as swabbing or fishing.

Principle of Operation: Grease is injected at a pressure higher than the well pressure (approximately 20% higher). The grease fills the interstitial grooves between the braided line stands. The most critical component of the grease injection head are the 'flow tubes'. These should be approximately 0.010" ID larger than the measure ODS of the o-line. The seal is achieved by the pressure drop created across the small gap between the line and flow tubes.
A wiper box on top of the grease injection head retains a large percentage of the grease.

Ancillary Equipment:
The following equipment are required to operate the grease injection system
bullet tag Compressor (Back-up system essential in high pressure situations)
bullet tag Grease reservoir
bullet tag Grease Pump
bullet tag Connection hoses
bullet tag Dual BOP system

Use:
The following factors will effect the volume of grease required:
bullet tag Clearance between the flow tubes and line
bullet tag Temperature
bullet tag Well pressure
bullet tag Line Speed
bullet tag Line Size
bullet tag Grease viscosity
