OVERVIEW

Who

We A re

F r o m D a y O n e : L i s t e n i n g t o t h e C u s t o m e r. In August 1927, brothers Arthur and

Kirby Pennick of Houston founded Oil Center Tool (O-C-T) to produce pump liners and rods for the oilfields of East Texas. In 1930, O-C-T introduced a new type of casing head and tubing head that was an immediate success. O-C-T soon followed these innovations with another first. At the time, completion wellheads (Christmas trees) were assembled and tested on-site an expensive, time-consuming and dangerous practice. O-C-T had a better idea, along with better completion wellhead components. The company introduced the first factory-assembled and tested Christmas tree, an innovation hailed as a landmark in efficiency, safety and cost-effectiveness. After only a few years of operation, O-C-T was on its way to setting the standard for the design, manufacture and service of the surface wellhead. The company that would become part of FMC Energy Systems a quarter of a century later introduced one innovation after another as it committed its resources to designing and manufacturing superior wellhead systems for a growing roster of customers. Its been that way ever since.

TECHNOLOGY LEADER

FMC Energy Systems and its predecessor, O-C-T, have a long history of technological innovations from the 5K wellhead in the 1930s to the first multiple-completion systems of the 1940s to the first Unihead thru-bore system and in subsequent decades, the introduction of multiple-completion systems, automatic casing hangers, Unitree, industrystandard C22/29 casing heads, Speed Loc clamps, subsea technology and the first TLP/SPAR systems.

CRITICAL-SERVICE A P P L I C AT I O N S

Wellhead performance is about the performance of your valves and seals. Innovations in valve design and in elastomer and metal-tometal seals technology, long experience in engineering and servicing wellheads for Arctic service and other extreme environments, and state-of-the-art expertise in materials have made FMC Surface Wellhead a leader in criticalservice applications, including: Extreme Sour Service Extreme Corrosive Service o (-75 F) Arctic Service Fire-Resistant Technology High Flow-Erosive Service

 Elastomer SEAL TECHNOLOGY

Higher pressures, well-treatment chemicals, hotter production and longer frac times accelerate the wear and tear on seals, reducing useful life. And if one seal in a wellhead fails, it can blow the budget with lost production and workover time.

Seals Conventional O-ring elastomer seals no longer meet the industrys stringent design and safety criteria. FMC Surface Wellhead has developed seals that compensate for thermal expansion and contraction, and the larger API casing and tubing tolerances that create increasingly difficult sealing conditions. At the same time, weve developed proprietary new elastomers suited to the design parameters of the new FMC Surface Wellhead seals, providing the best combination of mechanical properties and chemical resistance. We design and manufacture our elastomer seals.

Metal-to-Metal

Seals Our oilfield customers look to metal seals as cost-effective technology for extending service life and improving production efficiency. In general, metal seals last longer and provide more reliable service, especially in critical applications. FMC Surface Wellheads patented bump metal seal is regarded as the technological breakthrough in metal seals for wellheads. We manufacture both self-energized, straight-bore, metal seals and externally energized seals.

SHARED TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES

FMC Surface Wellhead was born on land and migrated to the sea. As FMC Energy Systems grew and expanded, the
organization was restructured to concentrate like technologies and services into nine highly specialized operating units, including FMC Surface Wellhead. Our sister enterprise, FMC Kongsberg Subsea, which is number one in its global market, grew partly out of the original FMC/OCT wellhead technological group. Today, FMC Surface Wellhead and other FMC Energy Systems operations and their customers benefit from the technology advances developed by FMCs Energy Systems subsea unit, developing drilling and completion systems for seabed wells, the most hostile of environments for oil and gas production. A notable example, our C22-EG Casing Spool. Its bowl protector retaining subsea technology doesnt need costly lockdown screws, increasing safety by eliminating the need to work under BOP and potential leak path.

The FMC Surface Wellhead Product Line: Standard Flanged Wellheads to Custom-Engineered Systems

Our company is proud to be recognized for its history of technological innovation and its reputation for custom-engineered drilling and completion wellhead systems. But thats only a narrow slice of what FMC Surface Wellhead offers:
In 75 years of listening to your industry, our company has developed a broad spectrum of wellhead drilling and completion components, systems and services. Our C-22 casing head components, for example, introduced in 1962, quickly became the industry standard for this class of product and remain in high regard among company men, drilling engineers and crews, even as we continue to improve and enhance this outstanding line. For our customers, this broad range of solutions translates into the convenience of relying on a single source FMC Surface Wellhead to supply you with exactly what you need for your application, no matter what it is, where it is, how routine or how challenging. For many wells, a standard flanged API wellhead rated at 2,000 psi is the best choice for the budget and risk parameters. For deep critical-service wells, reliability is the driver: a customengineered project approach may be the best solution. As location, depth, pressures, number of completions per well and other factors complicate the scope, hazards and degree of difficulty of a project, FMC Surface Wellhead is there with a solution that optimizes performance and minimizes your total well cost.

Since our days as O-C-T, weve led the industry in solutions that save rig time and enhance the safety of your operation. Both those aspects were taken into account when we developed our Diverter Attachment wellhead product offering. One of the inherent dangers of the industry is working under the Diverter/BOP stack when it is being installed or removed. The features we have incorporated in our Diverter Attachment Assemblies greatly minimize the amount of time one is required to spend on the wellhead deck during these operations. Time savings were also a strong consideration taken into account during the development of our Diverter Attachment assemblies. Depending on which design best fits your application, we have incorporated such features as no requirement to wait on cement to set, elimination of hot work, ability to land multiple casing strings without nippling down and the speed associated with the installation and removal of the Slip Loc and Speedloc quick connections. Depending on which design is selected, the operator could achieve between 6 and 36 hours of rig time-savings.

Description The diverter wellhead assembly attaches to the conductor pipe by the use of the time-saving Slip Loc connection. The wellhead is provided with two load shoulders that allow the operator to land and pack off both conductor and surface casing without ever needing to nipple down. F e a t u re s a n d B e n e f i t s The wellhead bottom is equipped with a Slip Loc connection and the top with a Speedloc connection. Both these connections save considerable rig time during installation. Seals the well bore while drilling out for conductor and surface casing. If used in conjunction with a mechanical casing cutter, this design eliminates the need for welding; thus there are no longer the dangers associated with hot work. Further, adjacent wells do not have to be shut in during installation. The conductor casing string is landed, packed off and tested prior to cementing. If it is desired that returns be taken across the shale shaker, a flow loop can be installed during the cementing operation. The surface casing is landed on the upper load shoulder with a fluted hanger for flow by. Once cementing operations are complete, the pack off is run, locked in place and tested prior to nippling down. The diverter riser assembly is removed and subsequent wellheads installed with the use of the Speedloc connection, which is designed to save valuable rig time. Available in Slip Loc or butt-weld prep for 30, 26 & 24 drive pipe.

Slip Loc Bottom with contained landing ring with Flanged Top Diverter Adapter Head:
Description The Slip Loc diverter adapter/attachment contains a profile for an independent and inexpensive load shoulder to be contained between the casing and the adapter. After drilling out and landing the surface casing, the Slip Loc diverter adapter can be removed and the subsequent casing head attached to the mandrel hanger. F e a t u re s a n d B e n e f i t s Seals the well bore while drilling out for surface casing. The surface hanger is landed on load shoulder. Since the casing is landed, there is no need to wait further for cement to set up. Saves rig time associated with welding on a flange to attach the diverter and with removal of the flange once the surface casing has been landed. Slip Loc diverter adapter can easily and quickly be removed after landing surface casing. The adapter can remain attached to the drilling riser system for subsequent wells. Available in 20 & 13-3/8. Other sizes can be manufactured on request.

Clamps

Description: To reduce installation time and wellhead equipment size, FMC Surface Wellhead uses clamp devices in place of flange connections for wellheads. The Speedloc Clamp consists of a series of segments which are mechanically isolated from one another, permitting each segment to act as an independent clamp. These clamp segments pull the integral mating hubs together as the nuts are tightened. The contact surface between the segments and the hubs acts as a ramp to maximize vertical clamping force.

FMC Surface Wellheads integral Speedloc Clamps can be pre-installed on wellheads, BOPs and other drill-thru components with no rig assembly time required. One person can make up all sizes of Speedloc Clamps in less than 10 minutes. The increased strength and reliability of Speedloc Segmented Clamps over two-piece clamps help ensure safety in the field by greatly reducing the risk of a failure. Other factors inherent in the design of the Speedloc Clamp that help maximize personnel and rig safety include the elimination of special tools, handling devices and loose parts, minimizing time and exposure of service personnel in the area of the wellhead. FMC Surface Wellhead currently offers two versions of the Speedloc design:

Speedloc I:
Proven worldwide, Speedloc Clamps are available in nominal sizes from 7 1/16 to 21 1/4 inches for standard and sour-gas services to 20,000 psi. They provide distinct mechanical and operational advantages over alternative connectors, and are ideal for high-temperature applications.
Straight-bore metal seal

Speedloc-I Segmented Clamps use FMC Surface Wellheads patented straight-bore metal seal (SBMS) rather than the standard API seal (R, RX or BX) found in other wellhead connectors. The SBMS seal is preloaded radially during assembly as the clamp segments pull the mating hubs together. Therefore, the Speedloc Clamp does not require further vertical preload to generate a seal. Sealing integrity is maintained by radial compression of the seal against the machine surfaces of the seal pocket. Fluctuations in vertical end loads and externally applied bending moments do not affect the function of the seal. Speedloc-I Clamps provide high bending moment and shear-resistance capacities, far exceeding conventional two-piece clamps in strength. Under well pressure conditions, the total load is distributed equally between the Speedloc-I Clamps studs, with only moderate torque required for full stud preload. The loss of a single Speedloc-I Clamp stud results in only 8.3% drop in clamp preload, therefore maintaining 91.7% of the installed connectors preload. In contrast, if one stud fails on a two-piece clamp, failure of the entire clamp could occur.

30

Speedloc II:
Proven worldwide, Speedloc-II Clamps are available in sizes from 7 1/16 to 21 1/4 inches for standard or sour-gas services to 20,000 psi, 0oF to 250oF, providing mechanical and operational advantages over other connectors.
Superior clamping by design

The Speedloc-II Clamp consists of a series of segments which are mechanically isolated from one another, permitting each segment to act as an independent clamp. The Speedloc II uses a travel nut with a retainer bolt to secure the segments onto the hub. When the travel nuts are being loosened, the retainer bolts keep the nuts and segments together, causing the nuts to positively retract the segments. The Speedloc-II nut threads are coated to provide a lower coefficient of friction, reducing make-up torque and dramatically increasing thread life. The result: you get enhanced clamping and higher end load capacities in a compact, preassembled design with significant safety advantages.
Mates with conventional clamp hubs

FMC Surface Wellheads Speedloc-II Clamps mate to conventional clamp hubs using API RX or BX ring gaskets. The design allows for interface between FMC Surface Wellhead and existing conventional clamp hub equipment. The Speedloc II can also be provided with FMC Surface Wellheads straight-bore metal seal (SBMS) for special applications. Speedloc-II Clamps maximize strength by distributing total load equally between the clamps studs, with only moderate torque required for full preload. Speedloc-II Clamps typically have 12 or 16 studs, depending on the size, versus two or four studs in conventional clamps. As a result, the Speedloc IIs studs are smaller in diameter for the same load-bearing capacity, and require significantly less torque for installation.

INTEGRAL PRODUCTION BOP FOR ROD AND PROGRESSING CAVITY PUMPS

Model 100 series gate valve

Developed for artificial lift applications for Rod Pumps and Progressing Cavity Pumps (PCP). To better serve the artificial-lift market, FMC Energy Systems has added Integral Production BOPs (IPBOP) to our product portfolio. The IPBOP allows the Operator to safely re-enter the well bore by sealing off against the rods or, if the rods are parted, allows one to blind off the well bore. Features and Benefits Available up to 2,000 psi wells and completion sizes up and including 4 1/16". Suitable for sour, corrosive environments and when producing in environmentally sensitive areas or in close proximity to the densely inhabited areas (AA to FF). Production environment is oil but can be adapted to be suitable if adjacent injection operations create a more corrosive environment. Although independent components can be provided, the Integral Production BOP (IPBOP) can integrate the tubing head bonnet, production BOP and flow tee, or any combinations of these, in one unit. The Integrated BOP offers cost savings when compared to purchasing the individual items. In addition, potential leak paths are greatly reduced, and the overall height, which can be 50% less, is safer for Production Operators. The BOP rams have the capability to seal off from 0 to 11/2" rods.

TUBING-LESS COMPLETION / FRAC FLOW SYSTEM Model 100 Series Gate Valve

Developed to support well fracturing operations in todays natural gas completion processes. In addition, the system works well for applications where high production rates deplete rapidly and a siphon string is to be added at a later date to further enhance production. The smaller tubing head flange allows for economical temporary tubingless completions and for traditional tubing completions. This type of completion eliminates the need for wellhead isolation tools and tree savers during the well fracturing job, saving time and money. The system supports standard jointed tubing or coiled tubing completions. Features and Benefits Available up to 15,000 psi wells. Suitable for sour, corrosive environments and when producing in environmentally sensitive areas or in close proximity to the populous (AA to HH). Eliminates the need for Wellhead Isolation tools and Tree Savers reducing rental tool cost. Reduces fracturing stack rental costs because of the smaller size. Allows a siphon string to be run through the XT, landed, and packed off. The bigger-bore XT can then be removed and replaced with a more economical tree compatible with tubing size and production pressures of the flowing well. Also available for use with the DTO Wellhead System providing additional drilling time and completion savings.

COMPLETION PRODUCTS

Tu b i n g H e a d s

Description: The tubing head is the top spool on a surface wellhead assembly. It is installed after the last casing string to provide a load shoulder to support the tubing string and a seal bore for the tubing hanger or production casing/tubing annulus seal. When the well is completed, the tree is installed on top of the tubing head with a tubing head adapter.

Functions Provide a load shoulder inside the head to support tubing hangers and packoffs. Provide a controlled bore against which the hanger or packoff can seal. Provide for a secondary annulus seal around the top of the previous casing string. (See Bottom-Bowl Packoffs in this section.) Provide access to the annulus between the tubing string and the production casing. Provide a means to support and test BOPs while completing the well.

TC-Series Tubing Heads

FMC TC-Series tubing heads have a straight-bore profile which is compatible with all FMC singleand multiple-string tubing hangers and packoffs. These heads are available in four basic styles; the only functional difference between the styles is the number and type of aligning pins, which are used to align multiple-string or specialty tubing hangers.

Features Has a straight-bore design compatible with all TC-Series tubing hangers. All TC-Series tubing heads with a 9-inch or larger top flange also accept the FMC C-29 casing hanger for casing completions. Valve removal (VR) threads are standard on all flanged or studded outlets. Benefits Wedge locking of bowl protector, BOP test plugs and tubing hangers is eliminated. Seal bore is less likely to be damaged during drilling. Straight bore is more economical to recondition after abandonment.

TCM-ET

TCM-ET
The TCM-ET tubing head has no aligning pins. It is compatible only with single-string TC-Series tubing hangers and packoffs. The TCM can be upgraded to a TC-60-ET or TC-ET head by adding the necessary aligning pins at an FMC Energy Systems facility.

TC-ET
The TC-ET tubing head has one aligning pin and accepts all TC-Series tubing hangers and packoffs except the TC-60 dual-split hanger. It can be upgraded to a TC-60-ET by adding two aligning pins at an FMC Energy Systems facility.

TC-60-ET
The TC-60-ET is the most versatile tubing head in the oilfield. It has three aligning pins and is compatible with all TC-Series tubing hangers and packoffs, including the TC-60 dual-split hanger. When last-minute completion changes are possible, the T-60-ET is a good investment because no shop modification is needed to adapt it to any type of tubing completion.

Tu b i n g H e a d s

TC-WD-ET
The TC-WD-ET tubing head has an internal wedge that is used for alignment on specific TC-Series tubing hangers. This particular design allows for alignment of multiple-string tubing hangers without external manipulation methods. TC-WD-ET tubing hangers are generally considered specific to particular customers requirements and can be run only in the TC-WD-ET tubing head. FMC hangers that normally are aligned with pins (TC or TC-60 type) will not function in the TC-WD-ET head.

A l t e r n a t i ve Tu b i n g H e a d C o n f i g u r a t i o n s
Bottom Connections
Bolt-through flange, studded flange and clamp-hub connections are available. The type and pressure rating used must match the top flange of the previous casing spool or crossover flange. Bolt-through flange connections are the most popular and economical type of connection in certain parts of the world. Clamp-hub connections are sometimes specified, because they are much faster to make up and because they reduce the diameter and weight of the assembly when space limitations are present.

Top Connections
FMC Surface Wellhead tubing heads have either bolt-through flange or clamp-hub top connections, which are compatible with all FMC tubing head adapters. The producing pressure of the well normally determines the pressure rating of the top connection.

Lockdown Screws
Most FMC Surface Wellhead Series tubing heads have a series of lockdown screws in the top flange (unless customer or application requires otherwise). These lockdown screws have three functions: to actuate compression-type hanger or packoff seals to lock down the hanger or packoff to prevent movement caused by thermal expansion of the tubing string during production to lock down the hanger in the event of annulus pressure NOTES:

Where customer preferences or applications do not allow the use of lockdown screws, internally locking mechanisms are utilized. See section on Completion Solutions.

Bottom-Bowl Packoffs (secondary seals)
Tubing head bottom-bowl packoffs are used to seal around the production casing stub in the bottom bowl of the tubing head. They are often referred to as secondary seals. The various packoff types are described below:

Double FS Seals
This design consists of two elastomeric-shaped seals located in grooves in the bottom of the tubing head. A seal is achieved by interference of the seal with the outside diameter of the casing and the bottom or OD of its retaining groove. A spring molded in each inside corner of the seal provides an anti-extrusion mechanism when sealing against pressure by bridging the gap between the tubing outside diameter and casing head seal bore. The shape of the seal allows it flexibility to maintain sealing interference with the large variations in tubing outside diameter.

PI Seals
These seals consist of a T-cap seal element, nonextrusion rings and a receiver ring. These components will fit the HPE bottom prep configuration. The PI seal is designed for use up to 15,000 psi working pressure and temperatures up to 75 o F or as low as -50 o F, depending on the elastomer selected. It provides the proper compression and squeeze even with the larger API casing tolerances. The design effectively intensifies the annulus pressure and thus the internal stress in the elastomer to minimize the effects of explosive decompression.

SBMS-II Seals
This metal-to-metal seal consists of a U-shaped ring with a bump sealing surface at the outside and inside legs of the U. When installed, the entry ramp compresses the legs of the U inward and creates contact stress in each bump that provides the seal. This seal requires the casing stub OD to be field machined after the casing is hung to provide the proper sealing tolerances and surface finish. This is accomplished with a portable pneumatic-driven tool. It is good for temperatures ranging from -75 o F to 1200 o F.

RCMS Seals
The Rough Casing Metal Seal (RCMS) is designed to use up to 20,000 psi. This seal does not require special machining of the casing stub; is compatible with temperatures from -20 o F to 350 o F in corrosive environments; does not require special installation tools and is simple to install; is NACE compatible; is compatible with casing spool and tubing spool strength; is compatible with casing string strength properties. NOTES: TC-Series packoffs are usually installed in the tubing head prior to shipment. FMC tubing heads are also available with threaded bottom preparations in some sizes and pressure ratings.

These adapters provide a means to hang the tubing via tubing threads machined in the lower-connection inside diameter. The tubing threads can be used to suspend tubing when an operator wants to reciprocate tubing, but does not require a back-pressure valve in the tubing hanger. These adapters do not provide a seal. They are normally used on low-pressure completions with a wraparound packoff or stripper.
Tu b i n g H e a d Adapters

Features and Benefits For use with the TC-1W, these adapters have tubing threads to suspend the tubing string Available top connections are male thread, female thread or studded.

Coupling Adapters
Coupling adapters provide a means to suspend the tubing in conjunction with a special coupling. They provide a lower connection for the tubing head and an upper connection for the tree and are used with a tubing coupling, which suspends the tubing and accepts a back-pressure valve. It is used for high-pressure completions where the operator wants to manipulate tubing through a wraparound packoff or stripper and needs a back-pressure valve and/or a hydraulic supply inlet for downhole control lines. An ACME thread is machined into the adapters bottom inside diameter to be utilized in conjunction with the coupling to hang the tubing. Then it can be screwed onto the coupling. When a tree is trimmed for critical service, a coupling adapter with a coupling nut is available to prevent possible galling of threads between the adapter and coupling on makeup.

COMPLETION PRODUCTS

Tu b i n g H a n g e r s

Description: Tubing hangers are installed in the top bowl of a tubing head. Tubing hangers both suspend tubing and provide a primary annulus seal between the tubing and production casing. Hangers are run through the blowout preventers and are landed in the top bowl of the tubing head. Tubing hangers are available for any type of tubing completion. Tubing hangers also act as a means to access and manipulate additional smaller tubing lines that are utilized downhole and extended to the surface on the outside of the tubing string or strings. Packoffs allow tubing string manipulation for setting packers or displacing fluid while sealing the annulus between the tubing and the production casing.

FMC Surface Wellhead TC-Series tubing hangers are available for any type of single- or multiplestring tubing completion, including those requiring packers, subsurface safety valves, gas-lift valves and electric submersible pumps. All FMC Surface Wellhead hangers can be run through the blowout preventers, allowing the well to be secured before the preventers are removed. Most TC-Series tubing hangers accept a back-pressure valve, which seals the tubing bore. These BPV profiles may be of FMC Surface Wellhead design or they may be of another manufacturers design, depending upon the customers requirements. Some hangers are ported for hydraulic control lines, downhole safety valves or other equipment as required by the customer.

S i n g l e - S t r i n g Tu b i n g H a n g e r s
Most TC-Series single-string hangers do not require aligning pins and are compatible with any TCSeries tubing head. Generally speaking, alignment pins will not be required unless there is a need to orient a hanger a particular way. An example of this might be when an additional line is being run with the tubing string and needs to be ported through a particular position in the tubing spool.

TC-1A

TC-1W

TC-1A
The TC-1A is a threaded tubing hanger with an integral compression-type annulus seal that is actuated by string weight and or by lockdown screws. This hanger is also known as a threaded mandrel-type hanger and is considered one of the most basic and least expensive hangers in FMC Surface Wellheads TC product line.

TC-1W
The TC-1W is a split, wraparound packoff that allows tubing-string manipulation to displace fluid while maintaining complete control of annular pressure. Like all TC-Series packoffs, tubing string weight must be suspended from a tubing suspension adapter or coupling adapter. The TC-1W has a compression-type seal which is actuated by lockdown screws.

50

Features and Benefits Used where downhole control lines or tubing manipulation are not required. Fits all TC-Series tubing heads. Interference-type annulus seals instead of compression-type seals for 5,000 psi working pressures or below. Back-pressure-valve preparation for ISA (unless otherwise specified).

BO-2 Coupling

BO-10 Coupling

TC-B-EC

BO-2 Coupling
A BO-2 coupling-type tubing hanger uses a one-piece coupling that is externally threaded with a coarse heavy-duty ACME thread. Internally the coupling will provide tubing threads in the top and bottom along with a back-pressure valve groove. The BO-2 coupling is attached to the last tubing joint and is run in conjunction with a TC-1W wraparound-type packoff. Ultimately, the BO-2 coupling is made up into a BO-2 adapter that is assembled on the bottom of the Christmas tree.

Features and Benefits Threaded coupling is used in conjunction with the BO-2 tubing head adapter for high-pressure completions requiring both string manipulation with BOP protection and SCSSV control lines. Requires a TC-1W wraparound annulus seal. FMC Surface Wellhead ISA back-pressure valve preparation is standard.

BO-10 Coupling
The BO-10 coupling-type tubing hanger is generally utilized on completions demanding higher completion shut-in pressures. This hanger is a coupling by design but also incorporates a separate rotating, ACME-threaded locking nut. This design is also attached to the last tubing joint, and is run in conjunction with a TC-1W wraparound-type packoff. Ultimately, the BO-10 coupling is made up into a BO-10 adapter that is assembled on the bottom of the Christmas tree.

Features and Benefits Coupling nut allows the BO-10 coupling to be installed without rotation of the tree, making it the choice for heavy trees or where dissimilar metals could cause galling problems. Requires a TC-1W for annulus seal.

TC ESP
The TC ESP hanger is dual-ported, with one port designed to accept a single production tubing string. The second port is designed to accommodate the electrical conductors that pass the current between the surface cable and the subsurface cable that goes to the pump. The TC ESP hanger is designed for 7 1/16"- 3,000/5,000 and 11"- 3,000/5,000 flange sizes. We standardized on EUE thread configurations. Nevertheless, additional thread profiles and different configurations can be supplied.

Features and Benefits Has redundant B Type S seals on the body of the hanger. No alignment groove. It has an attachable alignment plate on the bottom of the hanger when alignment is required. No threads for penetrator makeup. Penetrator will be equipped with a jam nut on the bottom of the penetrator to hold in the hanger body.

Benefits Can easily convert an existing flowing well to an ESP without the need to change out the tubing head. Can utilize a TCM-type tubing head. Can convert a finished hanger with a QCI penetrator profile to accept a BIW penetrator.

52

Penetrator does not require rotation for makeup. Eliminates the potential of seal or thread damage when rotation of penetrator is necessary.

Multiple-String Tubing Hangers and Packoffs

TC-Series multiple-string hangers and packoffs permit the independent suspension and sealing of multiple-tubing strings, allowing simultaneous production or injection to or from separate zones. They require one or two aligning pins in the tubing head bowl and are compatible with either TC or TC-60 tubing heads. The TC-60 split-type hanger may be run only in the TC-60 tubing head.

TC-60 Dual-Split Hanger

Gulf of Campeche (Mexico)

Injecting 1.2 million cubic feet of nitrogen per day into a formation through a 9 bore is a major challenge to face with traditional solutions. The limited available height and weight on the platform plus the handling of a 9 Christmas tree during installation and workover ruled out a conventional production wellhead solution. Our engineers who have platform working experience understood better than other suppliers the operational challenge, and proposed the first horizontal wellhead tree system of its size in the Gulf of Mexico. Features and Benefits Full 9 bore system. Allows workover without removing Christmas tree. It has hydraulic or pneumatic valves. Wire Mesh FMC Surface Wellhead seal technology. Allows drilling through the tubing hanger. Maximizes platforms available surface.

Side-By-Side

(SXS) System

Java Sea (Indonesia)

Fragmented reservoirs requiring multiple interventions are a major challenge due to the reduced space on platforms, especially when, as in this example, you need to complete (or abandon) wells and perform interventions without disturbing adjacent wells. For such challenges, FMC Surface Wellhead has developed a Side-By-Side (SXS) Wellhead System for optimization of space on new platforms or workovers on existing platforms. The SXS also accommodates configurations involving a combination of single and dual completions inside a single conductor. Features and Benefits Allows installing either a 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 well configuration inside a single conductor, sized from 26 OD onwards to suit requirements. Eliminates the need for additional conductor pipe. This creates up-front savings and reduces abandonment costs. Allows the use of standard drill-bit sizes. Independent Tubing Heads (Unihead ) allow greatest flexibility in choosing wells to complete or abandon and to perform independent intervention, entry and re-entry without disturbing adjacent wells or flow lines. The wellheads are installed with full BOP protection. This system promotes time saving through batch drilling and drilling with reduced rig move time. Maximize platform size and the use of well slots on the platform. For existing wells, the SXS wellhead maximizes the use of existing spare well slots.

Valves

Series 100 alves

A wellhead is as good as its valves, and FMC Surface Wellheads valves are as good as it gets.
FMC Surface Wellheads gate valves are the industrys standards for strength, reliability and durability. Our valves are designed and tested for a minimum 20-year life everything you need in a valve.

S e r i e s 1 0 0 G a t e Va l v e s FMC Surface Wellheads Series 100 Gate Valves have successfully met customer demands for performance, endurance and ease of maintenance since their introduction in 1984. Available in working pressures from 2,000 to 20,000 psi, these metal-seal gate valves provide bubble-tight operation throughout their rated pressure and temperature ranges. Sizes, configurations and materials are available for virtually any application. Model 100 Series Valves by far exceed the requirements of API 6A. Model 120, Model 125, Model 130, Model 135, Model 160 and Model VLT have been qualified in excess of Appendix F for material class AA to HH and temperature rating 75 to 400oF. An additional 300 endurance cycles are applied to simulate 20 years of life expectancy. Series 100 gate valves come in trims for a complete range of water, oil and gas services including corrosive, high-temperature, subsea, arctic, sand and steam.

Belleville spring

Metal-to-Metal seal design

FMC Surface Wellheads Series 100 gate valves use a precision-machined floating slab gate and seat design that provides a fully energized metal-to-metal seal between the gate and seat surfaces at all times. A Belleville spring behind each seat keeps the seat in contact with the gate to ensure effective sealing at very low pressures. These fully symmetrical valves effectively seal against flow in either direction. Even though the seats float in their respective pockets, the downstream seat still creates a metal-to-metal seal against the body when the valve is closed. The back face of each seat has FMC Surface Wellheads exclusive double-bump profile (right figure). As the valve closes, line pressure forces the gate against the downstream seat, which in turn is driven against the back of the pocket, where the double bumps form a gas-tight, metal-to-metal seal.

Key features to ensure reliability for the life of the valve are: Metal-to-metal sealed bonnet assembly: Separate weather seals on the Series 100 valve bonnet assemblies isolate the stem, stem bearings, packing nut and other internal components from external environment. Heavy-duty stem bearings: Dual stem bearings support all axial loading on the stem. These low-friction, tapered roller bearings also help reduce operating torque. High-strength stem threads: Standard ACME threads offer high shear strength and high contact area for maximum endurance. A separate gate-lift nut contains the mating threads instead of the gate itself. This flexible design permits optimum stem/lift nut material combinations and allows the gate to float independently from the stem. In the unlikely event of thread damage, only the nut or stem needs to be replaced. Stem shear pin: The stem is protected against accidental twist-off by the stem shear-pin. The pin can be quickly replaced without disassembling the valve bonnet. Close-fitting gate guides: Stainless-steel gate guides stay within a few thousands of an inch of the gate, acting as mud skirts to minimize well fluids, sand and mud from entering the valve body as the gate opens and closes.

A C T U AT O R P R O D U C T S

FMC Surface Wellhead offers its own actuator product line that includes the HPPN Pneumatic Piston, the HPHYW Hydraulic Wire Shear Actuator and the HPHY Hydraulic Piston Actuator. This design has been proven worldwide in the field for more than 35 years.

A ctuators

D e s i g n F e a t u re s o f t h e F M C S u r f a c e We l l h e a d P n e u m a t i c a n d Hydraulic Actuators:

The actuator is fail-safe/fail-close because it will close with the loss of control pressure, with or without pressure in the valve body. Heavy-duty coated spring package is designed to provide closing force at zero or low pressure. Actuators are designed with back-seat capability. Designed to accept our full range of accessories, i.e., stem protectors, fusible lockout caps, etc. Quick-disconnect design and spring box design reduces time required during maintenance operations.

HP PN Pneumatic Piston Actuator

Description: The Type HP-PN Pneumatic Piston Actuator is a ratio-piston-type actuator mounted on a reverse-acting gate valve. The HP-PN Pneumatic Actuator is designed to be failsafe and fail-close. When installed as part of a safety system, it will automatically close with the loss of control pressure and will open automatically when the control pressure is restored.

74

Functions

Actuators are used on secondary master valve and/or wing valve of a Christmas tree, flow lines, header valves, gathering lines and pipelines. As part of a surface safety system, the actuator will shut off flow from the well in the event of a catastrophic event. The HP-PN surface safety valve is a pneumatic-controlled actuator that is operated by an air or gas source. Pneumatic pressure acting on the piston holds the valve open. Loss of pneumatic pressure in the actuators cylinder allows the well or flowline pressure acting on the area of the lower stem to force the stem and gate closed. Pneumatic actuators can be used in both gas and oil wells. Care should be taken when using pneumatic actuators on high-pressure and/or large-bore applications. One of the opening characteristics of a pneumatic actuator is that once sufficient force is generated to break the differential, the valve will instantaneously go from closed to full open. This causes a slam-open effect that can cause damage to gates and seats. This can potentially damage the actuator. The following are some methods to reduce this potential problem: o Reduce the differential pressure across the valve. o Reduce the volume of air in the cylinder. o Dampener mechanism. o Use of a hydraulic actuator is considered the best option.

Benefits

Loss of control pressure above the piston will cause the actuator to close the valve. In the event of a fire, the metal-to-metal seal between bonnet and lower stem acts as a secondary seal if the stem packing is damaged. Has a back-seat test port and packing leak detection port. A relief valve on the cylinder prevents overpressurization. Large piston area permits use of low-pressure air or gas control systems. Has a rising stem for visual indication. Pneumatic cylinder and piston are electrolysis nickel plated for corrosion resistance, reducing repair cost. Upper stem packing is easily removed.

Identification
The HP-PN Pneumatic Piston Actuator assembly includes the bonnet and the actuator assembly. The HP-PN actuator will be sized to open the valve against full differential with the available control pressure. The designation for the FMC Surface Wellhead pneumatic piston actuator is four alpha characters followed by two numeric characters. For example, the designator for a pneumatic piston actuator is HP-PN38. The HP is the product identifier; the PN references pneumatic piston, and the 38 refers to the piston size. A given piston size can be used on a number of valve sizes.

HP HY Hydraulic Piston Actuator

Description: The Type HP-HY Hydraulic Actuator is a ratio-piston-type actuator mounted on a reverse-acting gate valve. The HP-HY Hydraulic Actuator is designed to be fail-safe and failclose. When installed as part of a safety system, it will automatically close with the loss of control pressure and will open automatically when the control pressure is restored.

Functions

The actuators are used on secondary master valve and/or wing valve of Christmas tree, flow lines, header valves, gathering lines and pipelines. As part of a surface safety system, the actuator will shut off flow from the well in the event of a catastrophic event. The HP-HY surface safety valve is a hydraulically controlled actuator that is operated by a closed hydraulic system completely independent of well fluids and pressure. Hydraulic pressure acting on the piston holds the valve open. Loss of hydraulic pressure in the actuator cylinder allows the well or flowline pressure acting on the area of the lower stems to force the stem and gate closed. Recommended for use in high-pressure and/or large-bore applications.

HP HYW Hydraulic Wire Shear Actuator

Description: The Type HP-HYW Hydraulic Actuator is a ratio-piston-type actuator mounted on a reverse-acting gate valve. The HP-HYW Hydraulic Wire Shear Actuator is designed to be failsafe and fail-close. The coiled multi-spring assembly provides the added shear force. When installed as part of a safety system, it will automatically close with the loss of control pressure and will open automatically when the control pressure is restored. The wire shear actuator becomes the primary surface safety device during wireline operations. Should an emergency take place while the wireline tool string is in the well, the wire shear actuator is designed to shear the wire and seal off the flow of the well.

Functions

The actuators are used on the secondary master valve. They are the primary surface safety device during a wireline operation. As part of a surface safety system, the actuator will shear the wireline and seal off the flow from the well in the event of a catastrophic event. The HP-HYW surface safety valve is a hydraulically controlled actuator that is operated by a closed hydraulic system completely independent of well fluids and pressure. Hydraulic pressure acting on the piston holds the valve open. Loss of hydraulic pressure in the actuators cylinder allows the well or flowline pressure acting on the area of the lower stems to force the stem and gate closed. The spring package is sized to cut a specific size of wireline.

F e a t u re s

Seal echnology
Seals are critical for achieving reliable pressure integrity in wellhead equipment. FMC Energy Systems is proud of our sealing designs, and we would like to share our seal technology with you so you can take it into account next time you specify your equipment. Common oilfield elastomers are sufficiently reliable for low-pressure, normal-service oil and gas wells, and special elastomer compounds and designs are available for critical-service wells. However, all elastomer compounds lose some of their sealing effectiveness over time, with the rate of degradation dependent on environment. Sometimes a metal seal option can be a cost-effective way to increase service life and improve production efficiencies. FMC Energy Systems has the expertise to help you decide the best fit (elastomer or metal) for your application.

Seals

A number of the more conventional wellhead seals can no longer meet the new stringent design-acceptance criteria, such as the larger API casing and tubing OD tolerances now allowed by API Spec-5CT. For example, the conventional O-ring seal is very limited in its ability to bridge large extrusion gaps and remain intact without some kind of antiextrusion device. In addition, some seal designs cannot keep a bubble-tight seal over the wide temperature ranges and large pressure variations encountered. FMC Energy Systems response to these new API requirements addresses the limitations found in traditional interference and slab-packing applications with the following key design features: Seals meet API Spec. 6A, Appendix F, Performance Requirement Level Two (PR-2) pressure and temperature cycle testing. All seal designs utilize one of the FMC proprietary elastomeric compounds. These seal compounds are rated for all API material classes, including class HH (H2S/CO2 service), and are also amine resistant. Antiextrusion devices are incorporated into each type of seal design to compensate for thermal expansion/contraction of the seal element and for installation clearances. All seal elements and antiextrusion components are continuous. Antiextrusion devices are integrally molded into the seal element, making them easier to install and more durable. All seals are designed to provide proper squeeze, volume fill and stretch under all API/FMC tolerance conditions, i.e., the largest diametric gap possible and the worst-case misalignment of sealing surfaces.

Seals

FMC Energy Systems patented bump seal design has addressed many issues traditionally associated with metal seals to become a technological breakthrough for wellhead equipment. FMC Energy Systems metal seals are rugged enough for the oilfield operation, have simple installation procedures, are easily tested after installation and are reusable in most applications. In most applications FMC Energy Systems metal seals are self energizing and do not rely on a wedging action, suspended weight or flange make-up force to affect a seal. The seal is pressure assisted and can work in any pressure. Meet API Spec. 6A, Appendix F, Performance Requirement Level Two (PR-2) pressure and temperature cycle testing. Are rated for all API material classes, including class HH (H2S/CO2 service) and are also amine resistant. Can be made from almost any high-strength steel or corrosion-resistant alloy, for use in extreme corrosive services. Work in all temperature ranges, from -75F arctic service to 1200F for fire-resistant applications. Are easy to install and test and can withstand standard oilfield handling. Do not deform (crush) metal, either on the seal or on the mating surfaces, so both are normally reusable, minimizing workover costs.

S-Seal
The S-Seal is designed to provide reliable sealing between machined components. It is a versatile and reliable seal in cyclic high-pressure and -temperature applications, where conventional interference-type seals (O-rings, belt packing, dovetail, etc.) are typically inadequate. The S-Seal is an interference-type seal utilizing metal coil springs molded integrally into the exposed seal corners as antiextrusion devices. Another important feature of the FMC design is the use of a continuous coil spring, which eliminates weak points around the seals circumference. The S-Seal can be used in many applications where there is a controlled/machined gap between the sealing bore and shaft; for example, a mandrel hanger neck and tubing head adapter bore. There are both O.D. and I.D. applications of the S-Seal, with sizes available in nominal diameters up to 20. The S-Seal design can be rated up to 10,000 psi working pressure and a 0 to 250F temperature range for all sizes. Special designs allow qualification to 15,000 psi working pressure and 300F.

S-Seal

FS-Seal
The FS-Seal has been designed to seal against rough casing where wide tolerances and varying surface finishes create difficult sealing conditions. It is utilized as a large cross-section interference seal to bridge large extrusion gaps associated with sealing on rough mill casing. The bump provides higher sealing contact stresses, while the curved recess on the back of the seal controls the amount of compression (squeeze) on the seal element by allowing it to deflect outward when sealing against a larger-than-normal outer-casing diameter or an out-of-round section of casing. The FS-Seal can be supplied integral to a casing-head bottom preparation as a 1-FS (one seal with no secondary) or 2-FS (two seals with one secondary) packoff. It can also be supplied as a separate 4-S packoff bushing, which incorporates a secondary S-Seal on the bushing OD and a secondary FS-Seal on the ID. The FS-Seal is available for 4 1/2 to 30 pipe sizes. The FS-Seal is rated to 10,000 psi working pressure and a 0 to 250F temperature range for sizes up to 16, while the larger sizes are rated to 5,000 psi working pressure.

PI Seal
The FMC PI Seal design is an extremely reliable high-pressure sealing mechanism. The PI assembly is comprised of an upper junk ring guide, the pressure-intensified (PI) seal assembly, and lower ACME threaded lock ring to hold the packoff in the bottom of the tubing head. The PI design addresses some rather complex problems associated with oilfield elastomer seal designs, including explosive decompression, extrusion at high pressures/temperatures, and seal shrinkage/poor response at low temperatures. The PI seal uses the casing annulus pressure to generate a higher pressure in the elastomer seal, which eliminates the diffusion of gas into the elastomer. This pressure intensification is generated by a movable T ring which creates an unbalanced pressure area across the elastomer seal. This design is coupled with FMCs proprietary seal formulation, which also has improved gas permeation as well as excellent oilfield fluid resistance. The T-ring design also allows the elastomer to self-compensate for seal stress fluctuations caused by thermal cycling. The movement of the T-ring automatically controls excessive seal stresses caused by elastomer expansion. At very low temperatures, the phenomenon of seal stress relaxation caused by elastomer shrinkage is again automatically compensated for by annulus pressure applied to the unbalanced area T-ring. Seal failure due to extrusion is addressed by the use of automatic ramping antiextrusion rings made from thermoplastic material. The antiextrusion rings are located at all four corners of the seal. These rings compensate for the extrusion gaps caused by API casing tolerances and manufacturing head tolerances. The PI seal is rated to 15,000 psi working pressure and was developed for use as a lower casing or tubing spool packoff where long-term reliable sealing in hostile environments is required.

M etal Seals
SBMS Seals
FMC Energy Systems straight-bore metal seal (SBMS) is energized by interference between the designated primary sealing surface and the metal seals contact area with that sealing surface. The SBMS is a nonintegral double-ended seal sleeve manufactured from high-strength, low-alloy steel or corrosion-resistant alloy. The seal can be installed separately and can be easily replaced. The seal design is based on an interference fit with pressure-intensified sealing. As the tubing head bonnet is nippled up, the seal lip (bump) engages an entry ramp in the seal bore, radially deflecting the seal lip inward, creating the contact stress required to effect a seal. In the fully installed position, the seal lips engage a straight bore above the entry ramp (see illustration). The SBMS maintains sufficient contact-sealing stress even at very low pressure. As working pressure increases, contact-sealing stresses increase, making it seal even tighter. The SBMS qualification tests were conducted with low pressure and high pressure, the fire test pass (API RP-6F Improved) of 2,000F flame temperatures and 1,200F internal seal temperature with zero leakage.

SBMS-II Seals
The SBMS-II has bumps on the inside diameter and the outside diameter. Each seal lip engages its entry ramp, creating the sealing contact stress with the sealing diameter. The SBMS-II is used mainly as a production casing metal seal on either extended-neck mandrel-casing hangers or directly against the casing stub when slip hangers are used. When employed to seal against a casing stub, it is required to machine the casing stub after the casing is hung off. However, it requires only approximately 1 1/4 of the casing stub. The operation can be executed with a portable pneumatic tool. The SBMS-II is normally used on production casing where extreme temperature fluctuations are anticipated or in critical-service applications. When used against slip-suspended casing, FMC Energy Systems provides an ACME threaded casing holddown nut to minimize upward thermal expansion of the casing and act as a bit guide to protect the SBMS-II seal when running tubing or conditioning the hole. The SBMS-II seal has been used in sizes up to 20. Various applications of the SBMS-II design include valve stem back-seat seals, valve seat body seals and tubing hanger annular packoffs.

RCMS Seals
The most recent addition to the family of metal seals is the rough-casing metal seal (RCMS). This seal design does not require special complex field machining of the casing stub; is compatible with a wide range of temperatures and corrosive environments; does not require special installation tools and is simple to install; is NACE compatible; is compatible with casing spool and tubing spool strength; and is compatible with casing string strength properties.

XEMS Seals
FMC Energy Systems externally energized metal seal (XEMS) is used in Unihead wellhead systems for special mandrel casing hanger and tubing hanger applications. The externally energized seal requires mechanical force to effect a seal. The XEMS seal can be run through the BOP stack and is energized by lockdown screws or by an internal lockdown ring and running tool.

Metal-to-Metal High-Performance Seals

The metal-to-metal high-performance (M2M HP) Annulus Seal Assembly seals the annular space between the Unihead and the UWD-15 Casing Hangers. The seal is preloaded at installation, giving outstanding sealing performance even at low pressures. Two seal bumps on the OD of the M2M HP seal assembly seal against a recessed groove in the ID of the Unihead. Three radiused seal bumps on the tapered ID of the M2M HP seal assembly seal against the mating tapered surface on the OD of the casing Hhanger. The seal element material is a corrosion-resistant alloy, rendering the seal assembly fit for use in carbon dioxide environments. All mating equipment is overlaid with a corrosion-resistant alloy. The seal bumps plastically deform during installation, filling scratches that may be present on the sealing surfaces. The M2M HP seal assembly OD locates and aligns within the bore of the Unihead during installation and centralizes the M2M HP seal assembly. The OD also protects the two seal bumps on the seal assembly OD from damage during installation. A square shoulder in the bore of the locking mandrel sits on top of the casing hanger. The M2M HP seal assembly is positioned in the Unihead so that the seal elements align with an undercut in the Unihead bore. This undercut area minimizes scratching or scuffing of the seal surfaces which can occur during drilling operations. When the energizing mandrel is operated, locking segments engage with a groove on the ID of the Unihead. A lock ring in the ID of the M2M seal assembly engages with a groove on the OD of the UW-D15 Casing Hangers. The M2M HP seal assembly bottom surface protects the seal by having a larger diameter that shields the retracted sealing elements during running. The M2M HP seal element is retained on the seal assembly with a retainer strip. This retainer strip is held captive and provides uniform support during seal retrieval. The M2M HP Annulus Seal Assembly is designed to prevent premature energization as the assembly is run downhole. It is rated for 15,000 psi, H2S service and 250oF service. They were successfully tested to 350oF.

wellhead is as good as its valves and seals, and

performance is about seal performance. Higher pressures, well-treatment chemicals, longer frac times and other critical-service conditions place emphasis on seal integrity. If a seal failed, the budget can be severely impacted. Our customers demand the most reliable seals technology can deliver, and our industry has set new standards for seal performance. Conventional O-ring seals no longer meet application demands and industry standards. In order to maintain complete control over the quality and performance of our elastomer seals, FMC Energy Systems has made a substantial investment in an Elastomer Laboratory dedicated to the development of new and improved elastomer seal materials and designs. Field-proven designs developed by FMC Energy Systems include FS-Seals, S-Seals, and Compression Packings with Wire Mesh. At the heart of these premium seal designs are proprietary elastomer compounds formulated to provide the best combination of mechanical properties and chemical resistance to oilfield environments. Molding of FMC Energy Systems seal designs using these proprietary compounds is performed at our Nonmetallic Production Facility, located in Houston, Texas. Our experience has demonstrated that in-house elastomer seal manufacture and optimized compounds provide the most reliable combination of mechanical and chemical properties in a premium elastomer seal. This is in contrast to much of the oilfield industry which outsources seal manufacturing. New seal designs demanding new, improved compounds, new molding techniques and testing processes are developed in our Elastomer manufacturing and testing facilities. This assures that FMC Energy Systems brand elastomer seals are not only state-of-the-art design and materials, but rigorously tested for the complete range of customer applications and environmental operating conditions.

S A F E T Y F I R S T, R E L I A B I L I T Y. When you call for an FMC Surface Wellhead technician, you know youre getting someone technically competent and thoroughly experienced, trained and schooled in safety and reliability, including on-time performance. Our specialists are also skilled at resolving issues on location, which can translate into major cost savings. They perform in compliance with local regulations and FMC Surface Wellheads safety practices. At the conclusion of the job, the technician generates a status report that also includes Internet links to digital photos, equipment schematics and maintenance schedules.

While most of the industry tends to recruit service technicians from experienced rig crews, we have followed a different path by recruiting directly from vocational schools and the military services. Technician candidates recruited from these two major sources of talent are already comfortable with formal training courses, have a disciplined approach to following procedures and have great attitudes: they are proud of their company, their skills and their commitment to safety and enjoy helping customers by providing superior service.

Before joining our service team as a fullfledged FMC wellhead technician, every recruit must complete a comprehensive 26-week training program. The curriculum includes classroom study in drilling technology and FMC Surface Wellhead products, hands-on lab and field instruction, as well as a rotation through many functional areas of the business. Above all, our service trainees have the FMC Surface Wellhead safety culture ingrained into every aspect of their thinking, planning and job performance. Before graduating, each apprentice must pass a written competency examination.

Gate Valve Lubrication Ser vices Regular lubrication and maintenance of gate valves can substantially prolong the life of your wellhead system. An ongoing program of valve lubrication is simply good business, as it can reduce the frequency and cost of repairs and well shutdowns. Our technicians flush treating fluids, lubricate bearings and fill the valve body with grease for a single well (for instance, after the equipment has been exposed to corrosive chemicals) or on a routine basis as part of a total field lubrication program. On your valve lubrication maintenance calls, our highly trained and experienced technicians follow a strict schedule of procedures step-by-step to assure thoroughness and uniform service throughout the life cycle of the equipment. They are also guided by detailed reports (including photographs and schematics) that document the size, working pressure, serial numbers and manufacture of each piece of equipment on each wellhead.

Pre-Workover Inspection S e r v i c e A well workover is no time to discover problems with the wellhead. Your FMC Surface Wellhead technicians can help prevent costly workover rig and crew downtime by identifying and documenting the installed equipment and verifying the proper functioning of all wellhead components before the rig arrives. This inspection includes tests for pressure leaks, valve inspection to assure proper functioning, prepping the bolts for fast and easy removal and any necessary repairs. Our technicians also provide test results and documentation for each wellhead as the units are scheduled for workover or moving.

Repair and Asset Management The useful life of your surface wellhead components often exceeds the life of your wells. Managing and utilizing these assets throughout their life cycle can yield significant savings by reducing or eliminating the need to purchase new equipment. FMC Surface Wellhead technicians help you extend the life of your wellhead equipment in two ways: (1) by a regular schedule of maintenance and prompt repairs for all the components of your wellhead and keeping them in top working order, or returning them to peak condition, and (2) supporting

you in the active management of the life cycles of your wellhead equipment inventories. With FMC Surface Wellheads cradle to grave information management system, you can track every wellhead asset from invoice to repair history to the assets life and whereabouts after it is removed from the wellsite and placed in customer property (CP) or on to a new wellsite to sell or scrap. With our asset-tracking system, you can track and manage every component of every installed wellhead system or CP inventory on your laptop from anywhere in the world.

Lubricator installs VR plugs in casing head, casing spool or tubing head side outlets so gate valves can be isolated from pressure for removal or repair. Lubricator mounts on the gate valve outlet flange. With the lubricator holding the pressure, the gate valve can be opened, allowing the VR plug to pass through the valve and be threaded into the head or spool outlet. All studded and flanged outlets on FMC Energy Systems casing heads, casing spools and tubing heads are threaded to accept VR plugs. VR adapters are available for threaded outlets. For outlet working pressures of 15,000 psi, straight-thread, metal-tometal seal VR plugs are standard. For lower working pressures, tapered-thread VR plugs are standard.

Note: For ordering details, consult your nearest FMC Energy Systems representative.

Similar to the back-pressure valve, but with the seat and stinger arranged to hold pressure from above, sealing the tubing bore against tree test pressure. Test plug installs exactly the same way as the back-pressure valve. Since the plug will not hold pressure from below, well pressure must be isolated from the tree using a downhole plug or SCSSV.

Latches into mating groove in TCSeries tubing hangers or couplings to seal the well bore while the blowout preventers are removed and the tree is installed. Also used to temporarily isolate the tree from well pressure for repairs without killing the well. Installed by hand or by hydraulic lubricator. Shear pin release provides positive setting indication. Seals in hanger or coupling where strength is maximum and dimensional tolerances are controlled, not in tubing. Valve cannot accidentally pass into tubing. Internal stinger makes it easy to check well bore for pressure, or to equalize pressure across the valve.
