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
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.
