What is a wellhead ?
– The wellhead is
• the surface foundation on which the well is built
up during the drilling operations and
• the base for the Xmas tree for production
operations.

3
Wellheads - Drilling

During drilling process :


The well is controlled by
a BOP and choke
manifold

As the well is drilled


:Each annulus is sealed
off by the wellhead

4
Wellheads - Completed

The BOP's are removed

The Christmas tree is


installed to control the flow

Wellhead systems must be designed to :

Withstand tensile loads of


1
suspended tubulars

2 Provide a pressure sealing


capability ISOLATE the well from the external
environment
Life of Well
•Drilling
•Production ISOLATE between casings and
•Workover downhole formations
•Suspension
•Abandonment
MAINTAIN PRESSURE during well
control operations, well testing or
shut in periods.

Casing Head Housing -
Functions
– It is normally connected to the surface casing
– Supports the next string of casing
– Provides connection to the BOP and together with it
can:
• Seal the wellbore (from the atmosphere)
• Control access to the wellbore :
– for pressure control
– or fluid returns during drilling operations.

CHH - Base Plate
The casing head may be used in
conjunction with a base plate for more
effective weight distribution.

What happens after installing the
Casing Head Housing ?
– Nipple up and test BOPs
– Install wear bushing.
– The next hole section is drilled.
– The intermediate casing is run in the hole and is
cemented.
– P/U BOPs
– A rough cut is performed to allow retrieving remaining
casing and removing BOPs
