Home > Products > Flow Control > Sliding Sleeve
MCT sliding sleeves are downhole flow control devices installed in the production tubing. A sleeve controls communication between the tubing and the casing annulus and is operated with MCT shifting tools. The range covers four models: SXO, SXA, SXD and SL.
What Is a Sliding Sleeve?
A sliding sleeve is a downhole flow control device installed in the production tubing. An internal sleeve is shifted to open or close communication between the tubing and the casing annulus.
How customers use the MCT sliding sleeve range:
- Select the model: the SXO, SXA, SXD and SL sliding sleeves are described below.
- Confirm the shifting tool specified for the selected model with MCT.
- Send your request with the completion details listed under RFQ: What to Include.

Sliding Sleeve Models: SXO, SXA, SXD and SL
SXO SLIDING SLEEVE is a downhole flow control device mounted in the production tubing. It effectively controls the flow between the tubing and the casing annulus by means of an internal sleeve that is opened and closed by standard wireline methods.
SXA SLIDING SLEEVE is a downhole flow control device as the “SXO” circulating sleeve. The difference is that the model “SB” shifting tool is used to open (jarring up) or close (jarring down) the “SXO” circulating sleeve.
SXD SLIDING SLEEVE is a downhole flow control device as the “SXO” circulating sleeve. The difference is that it has a larger communication port area than “SXO” circulating sleeve.
SL SLIDING SLEEVE is a downhole flow control device mounted in the production tubing to provide communication between the tubing and casing annulus.
Sliding Sleeve – Special Features
- Dependable, simple and quick
- Features a nipple profile above and a packing bore above and below the communication ports
- Can be closed without leaving any obstructions in the tubing once the shifting operation is completed
- The standard model “SB” shifting tool is used to open and close the sleeves SXO, SXA and SXD
- The Model “SD-2” shifting tool is used to open the SL sliding sleeve by jarring down
- All premium threads available
Choosing a Sleeve
- For a larger communication port area than the SXO, consider the SXD.
- Shifting tool: the “SB” shifting tool for the SXO, SXA and SXD; the “SD-2” shifting tool for the SL.
- Threads: all premium threads are available.
- For tubing size, seal bore and outside diameter, see the datasheet or contact MCT.
