Abstract
The present disclosure provides techniques for improving operational efficiency of a well system that includes a fluid valve, which facilitates controlling supply of fracturing fluid. The fluid valve includes a valve body, which defines a valve bore, a gate cavity, and a seat pocket; a gate disposed within the gate cavity; a seat disposed within the seat pocket such that the seat abuts the gate; a seat pocket ring disposed within the seat pocket between the valve body and the seat; a bi-directional seal compressed between the seat pocket ring and the valve body; a one-way seal disposed between the seat pocket ring and the seat to block fluid flow from the gate cavity to the valve bore through an interface between the seat pocket ring and the seat; and a wiper ring disposed circumferentially around an inner end of the seat such that the wiper ring abuts the gate.
