Video Innovative Wellhead Systems
Time-saving wellhead technologies.
Shallow-Water Systems
Systems designed for shallow-water operations
Centric mudline suspension wellhead systems
- Stack-down configuration eliminates debris traps and improves the reliability and efficiency of tieback operations
- Separate thread and seal areas reduce the possibility of damage to critical areas
- High-pressure and high-casing-hanger-load capacities increase system versatility
- Optional patented washout technique for large-diameter casing strings eliminates pipe rotation
- Unique split-ring design prevents damage to the cage during compression in the wellhead, accommodating debris and providing two-point centralization
- All threads throughout the system prealign to ensure precise installation and tieback
- Split-ring hanger reciprocation is achieved without recovery or resetting
- Dual-casing tieback capability is available

Cameron shallow-water exploration wellhead systems provide significant time savings compared with conventional systems and reduce exposure to hazardous operations.
Exact Adjustable Wellhead System
Simple design and advanced external adjustment drive to enhance safety and reduce installation timeThe Exact-10 adjustable wellhead system was developed specifically to reduce rig installation time and enhance safety. The system is suitable for jackup drilling applications up to 10,000-psi working pressure where adjustment from mudline to surface is required for exploration and predrilling.
The Exact-15 adjustable wellhead system is rated for 15,000-psi working pressure and is suitable for HPHT applications. Reduced installation times, no separate tension equipment requirement, and availability for full-sized and slimhole casing programs are among the benefits of Exact systems.
