In at least one embodiment, a valve removal (VR) system for an oilfield equipment includes a VR plug having a first surface and a second surface. The VR system includes a bushing to be removably associated with the first surface. The bushing is to extend, at least partly, beyond the second surface of the VR plug. The bushing is also to contact an inner surface of a valve of the oilfield equipment and to prevent the second surface from contacting the inner surface of the valve. The VR system includes a guiding rod to be associated with the VR plug to support guidance of the VR plug through the valve of the oilfield equipment. The guiding rod is also to be disassociated from the VR plug to support removal of the guiding rod from the valve with the VR plug remaining in the oilfield equipment.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include a test dart for wellbore pressure isolation. The test dart includes a body extending from a first end to a second end, the body having a bore extending therethrough, a diameter of the bore being greater at a first end than the second end. The test dart also includes a groove formed proximate the first end and extending radially outward from the bore and into the body. Additionally, the test dart includes an anti-rotation pin positioned between the groove and the second end, the anti-rotation pin extending radially outward from the body. The test dart further includes a check valve positioned in the bore, the check valve enabling flow in a single direction and being moveable between an open position to enable the flow and a closed position to block the flow.
