ABSTRACT:
A control system for controlling hydrocarbon flow from a well includes a hydrocarbon module and a separate control module. The hydrocarbon module includes one or more flow passages communicating with the flow of hydrocarbons from the well. Valves are disposed in the flow passages for opening and closing the passages to flow. Each valve includes a valve member having an open and a closed position. A biasing member is provided for biasing each valve member to the closed position. The control module is positioned adjacent the hydrocarbon module and includes an actuator member for each of the valve members. The valve member and actuator member are end to end such that the actuator member may be actuated to move the valve member to the open position. The valve members and actuator members engage along a common interface so as to allow the removal of the control module without removing the hydrocarbon module. Removal of the control module requires two movements, one to disengage the actuator members from the valve members, and a second movement to disengage the control module from the hydrocarbon module.
