Abstract

A technique facilitates pressure testing of seals along a tubing hanger, such as a tubing hanger used in a subsea application. In some applications, the tubing hanger is sealed along its exterior with an upper tubing hanger seal and a lower tubing hanger seal. A valve assembly is deployed along a fluid passageway which is routed to the tubing hanger seals. The valve assembly may be selectively actuated to a test position, e.g. a closed position, which enables pressure isolation and pressure testing of the tubing hanger seals. The valve assembly may also be selectively utilized to introduce fluids into the formation below the tubing hanger.
