Wellhead
– Tree is connected to the Wellhead
– Provides structural foundation for subsea
and subsurface equipment
– Acts as a barrier between the reservoir
and the local environment
– Acts as a conduit for hydrocarbons
– Provides load support during drilling,
equipment installation and during
workover operations
– Provides support against environmental
loads

Wellhead connection
• Top of wellhead designed to mate
with connector system on the base
of the drilling BOP or Tree
• Sealing with metal to metal and elastomeric seals
• Dogs or collets in the Christmas Tree connector engage with
the profile on the wellhead to lock the two systems together

Vertical Christmas Trees
Vertical, VXT, Conventional
Tree, Dual Bore Trees
• Contains valves in line with
the well-bore
• Available as dual-bore and
mono-bore
• Tubing hanger is installed in
the wellhead
• Need to remove the Christmas
Tree to recover tubing hanger,
production tubing and down-
hole equipment
Image FMC Technologies
• Does not contain any valves in line with the well bore.
• Mono-bore access from tubing hanger
• Larger production bore than vertical trees
