master valve

A valve located on the Christmas tree that controls all flow from the wellbore. A correctly functioning master valve is so important that two master valves are fitted to most Christmas trees. The upper master valve is used on a routine basis, with the lower master valve providing backup or contingency function in the event that the normal service valve is leaking and needs replacement.
