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

FMC KONGSBERG SUBSEA: 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, includ-

ing 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.

Nothing wastes your investment more than rig downtime from failures in equipment and safety practices. We are proud that our
safety record outperforms the industry. The stats back this statement: FMC Energy Systems Houston facility, for example, logged
7.4 million man-hours without a lost-time incident.
FMC Technologies accepts the responsibility to protect the environment and the health and safety of our employees, their
families and the public. Health, safety and environment (HSE) performance is a core value and will be managed as an integral
part of our business to benefit employees, neighbors and shareholders. All FMC Energy Systems employees are responsible for
assuring that we achieve continuous and measurable improvement.
With safety as a top-down, bottom-up responsibility and with results tied to management and employee performance
appraisals our formal HSE safety program identifies and rewards behaviors that improve safety practices.
FMC Surface Wellhead conducts ongoing safety training programs with daily, weekly and monthly service safety meetings. We
also require formal job-safety analyses (JSAs) for all service jobs. The JSA gives our service technicians a convenient procedure for
reviewing the job with the rig crew, heightens the awareness of safety risks, and focuses on using the right tools for the job.

Equipment Costs Do Matter


Bottom L ine
FMC Surface Wellhead understands that the cost of your wellhead system is part of your purchasing criteria. We also understand
that the best way to reduce your cost is to use the right equipment for your application. The only thing more expensive than a
feature you dont need is a system that does not meet your requirements.
For more than seven decades, our company has demonstrated the ability to supply worldwide to the oil industry with wellhead
systems that have matched the applications requirements. We know about wellhead equipment, and we know about delivering it
around the world. Those make us feel comfortable offering you to reduce your cost by working together in the specification of your
requirements.

Time S avings
Time-Saving Solutions
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.

S l i p L o c B o t t o m w i t h 2 - S t e p We l l h e a d f o r A t t a c h i n g t o t h e D i v e r t e r A s s e m b l y :

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 with-
out 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 dur-
ing 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.

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 seg-
ment 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 exceed-
ing 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
26FMC3(pg20-33)_4.6.04 6/26/04 10:22 AM Page 14

Speedloc II:
Proven worldwide, Speedloc-II Clamps are available in sizes from 7 1/16 to 21 1/4 inches for stan-
dard or sour-gas services to 20,000 psi, 0oF to 250oF, providing mechanical and operational advan-
tages 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 conven-
tional 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

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.

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 TC-60-ET TC-WD-ET

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

Tu b i n g H e a d s
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.

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.

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 tempera-
tures 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.

Description: The tubing head adapter provides a transition between the Christmas tree and the
tubing head. The bottom adapter connection matches the tubing head, and the top adapter con-
nection matches the tree. Tubing head adapters are available for all types of single- and multi-
ple-string completions, including those using electric submersible pumps, packers, downhole
control valves and gas lift valves. These adapters come with threaded, flanged or studded-flanged
top connections. Most tubing head adapters are available with hydraulic supply inlets for down-
hole control lines. If the customer requires, FMC Surface Wellhead also supplies various types
of adapters that will accommodate continuous control-line capabilities. Following you will find
the most generally used.

Basic Adapters A4 Dual-Seal Bore Adapters Single-Seal Bore Adapter ESP Adapter
A-4-D A4

Basic Adapters
They provide only a transition between the tubing head and the tree. These adapters do not hang
the tubing or provide a controlled seal bore. Basic tubing head adapters have a smooth seal bore
and are used when tubing is suspended from the tubing hanger. They are designed for low-pres-
sure completions where downhole line or tubing strings manipulation are not required. The basic
adapter is normally installed with the tree after tubing is run.

Features and Benefits


Simple transition piece between the tubing head and the tree
Used with a TC-1A tubing hanger
Available with threaded, flanged or studded top connection

Seal Bore Adapters


Seal bore adapters have the inside diameter machined to provide a controlled seal bore for an
extended-neck tubing hanger or a seal nipple. They are available with a test port and/or a hydraulic
supply inlet for downhole control lines. Like basic adapters, they are normally installed with the tree.

Features and Benefits


Provides a seal bore for the TC-1A-ENS extended neck (Single-Seal Bore)
Provides seal bores for the seal nipples on dual-completion tubing hangers (Dual-Seal Bore)
Available with SCSSV control line inlets
Studded top connection only

ESP Adapters
ESP adapters have seal bores to accommodate both a tubing hanger neck seal and an electrical
power feed-thru device. Standard ESP adapters are equipped with rotating flanges to mate to the
tubing head, minimizing concerns over alignment issues. Positive alignment can be obtained
through the use of optional features in the mating ESP hanger. ESP adapters can be supplied to
match standard tubing heads rated to 3,000 and 5,000 psi working pressure.

Tubing Suspension Adapter Tubing Coupling Adapter Tubing Coupling Adapter


B-2-S BO-2 BO-10

Tubing Suspension Adapters


These adapters provide a means to hang the tubing via tubing threads machined in the lower-con-
nection 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 wrap-
around packoff or stripper.

Tu b i n g H e a d
Features and Benefits

Adapters
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.

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 multiple-
string 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 manufac-
turers 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 TC-
Series 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.

utilizes S-type seals on its neck that are used to seal inside the tubing head adapter that will be

Tu b i n g H a n g e r s
installed directly above the hanger upon completion of the well. Additionally, this hanger is provided
with compression-type seals on the body that generally incorporate wire mesh-type non-extrusion
devices above and below the seal. Lockdown screws are used.

Features and Benefits


Extended-seal neck with interference-type seals isolates the tubing head/adapter connection
from well pressure and provides for control-line porting if required.
FMC Surface Wellhead ISA back-pressure valve preparation is standard.
Interference-type annulus seals instead of compression-type for 5,000 psi working pressure
or below.

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 cou-
pling 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 cur-
rent 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. While configurations and designs may differ with customer require-
ments, the basic design concepts stay the same.

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.

26FMC5(pg42-53)_26.6.04 6/26/04 11:17 AM Page 14

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 TC-2C

TC-60 Dual-Split Hanger


The TC dual-split hanger is an easy-to-run split hanger with an integral compression-type packoff. The
packoff seal is actuated by lockdown screws before the blowout preventers are removed. No plastic injec-
tion is required. With the TC-60 dual-split hanger, tubing strings can be run and pulled independently,
allowing maximum clearance for gas-lift or subsurface safety valves. Each segment accepts a back-pres-
sure valve and is available with control-line preparations for surface-controlled subsurface safety valves.

Features
Allows tubing string to be run and pulled independently.
Provides for maximum clearance for gas-lift valves, SCSSV and packers.
FMC Surface Wellhead ISA back-pressure-valve preparation in each hanger half is standard.
Tubing head must have the dual TC-60 aligning pins.

TC-2C Dual Completion


Has threaded, coupling-type multi string hanger.
Allows tubing strings to be run separately or simultaneously; tubing can be rotated to
manipulate packers.
Each accepts a back-pressure valve.
Annulus and sleeve seals are interference-type.
Tubing head must have the single aligning pin.

Hydraulic Control-Line Preparation


The TC-1A-EN tubing hanger and the TC-60 dual-split-type tubing hangers are available with hydraulic control
line ports for surface-controlled subsurface safety valves or injection tubing. The TC-1W packoff and the BO-
2 adapter/coupling with concentric tubing joint can also accommodate a subsurface safety valve.Control-line
ports may be either threaded with seal sleeves or continuous, depending upon customer requirements.

Kome (Chad)
A major oil company faced a substantial logistical challenge when it developed an oil-
field in a region of Africa with no established oilfield infrastructure and remote
from existing shipping channels. This operator wanted the most reliable enhanced-
recovery surface wellhead technology on the market for the venture and looked to
FMC Energy Systems to provide it. Our company has years of experience throughout
Africa and knew the most reliable choice of technology the customer would require in
Chad. We recommended a field-proven ESP system, including our industry-standard

Drilling Time Optimization (DTO) System


Rocky Mountains (United States)
Our customers infield drilling program needed to minimize his rig time for multiple
shallow wells (with surface casing pressures less than 5,000 psi) and to improve
safety. FMC Surface Wellheads solution was the DTO wellhead, which delivers
significant time savings by eliminating a number of steps in the traditional drilling
process and reducing time required for other steps. The ideal situation for using
the DTO would be a single rig thats drilling multiple consecutive wells by using
a common casing program. Each rig is outfitted with a DTO diverter connector
fabricated into a diverter riser. The assembly stays with the rig for the drilling
project, and it is used on each well. A DTO drilling spool connector is assembled
into the rig BOP and is moved with the rig from well to well.

Features and Benefits


Eliminates steps in the drilling process.
Offers time savings during nipple up/down of the BOPs stack, landing casing
hanger and installing the tubing head.
Increases safety by eliminating the need for cutting torches and
hammer wrenches.
Locking ring design on drilling spool provides 360 degrees engagement to
increase load capacity and reduce fatigue.
Contingency systems for stuck pipe retains system benefits and time
savings.
Tests production casing seals prior to removal of BOP.
Load capacity of surface casing hanger exceeds joint strength.

Fast Drilling System

Sarawak (Malaysia)
This major European-based oil company planned to develop a high-flow-rate, corrosive
field in Borneo. Not only does this company uphold the highest standards for safety of
crew and environment, but it would be operating in a part of the globe that it had not
previously explored. The company came to FMC Energy Systems for its reputation as a
worldwide supplier familiar with the Far East and the challenges of working here, and
known for the high reliability of our wellhead systems. Energy Systems sales engineers
recommended technology appropriate to the highest standard required, a fully featured
system with metal-to-metal seals and Speedloc connections. We knew this would be
the best cost-to-risk choice for the customer, who would not have to be concerned
about the equipment performance over the life of the field. They also felt such a system
would be easier and safer to install and safer over the life of the wells, and that it would
save them rig time during installation.

North Sea (Norway)
When a major oil company planned to develop a North Sea field, it estimated a 30-
year minimum lifetime for the field and projected future production with water cuts and
gas penetration. The field would have 12 tie-back wells (predrilled wells from a semi
prior to installing the platform) and was planned for production, gas-injection and
water-injection wells. Moreover, the field is regulated by strict API6A and NORSOK
standards. Needing reliable, flexible, cost-effective drilling and production solutions,
this company came to FMC Energy Systems as we are the most experienced well-
head supplier in the North Sea for both surface and subsea applications. Our engi-
neers proposed a fully featured surface system using thru-bore technology, including
proven UWD 15 subsea technology, with the flexibility of switching from production to
injection without changing trees. FMC Energy Systems Norway operations allow the
customer to carry smaller inventories of equipment and parts, short lead time and
ready access to engineers and technicians experienced in North Sea operations.

Features and Benefits


Thru-bore system with minimal installation time for risers and BOP. Installation
time reduced by implementing field-proven subsea UWD 15 casing hangers and
packoffs.
Top-of-the-line materials and cladding assure equipment will last through the life of
the well with minimum maintenance and lost production.
Has metal-to-metal seals, UWD 15 technology.
Switch from production to injection without changing out trees.
By having the 18 3/4 casing landed in the starting head, the operator can easily
change out the 13, 9 and 7 tubing and Unihead when the well needs slot
recovery, workover, etc.
Wireshear actuator on master valve can shear 7/16th braided wire on the tree to
save time and money rigging wireline equipment.

China Sea (China)
This project in the China Seas Ya Cheng field, which supplies gas energy to
Hong Kong, presented the challenges of critical conditions: high corrosive,
high temperature, fire resistant, severe weather, large-bore production, high
reliability and a long life cycle to reduce the need for workovers. Our state-of-
the-art dry tree system, the UWD-15, is an excellent example of our quest
to design highly reliable wellheads for difficult environments and conditions
and still contain costs. Developed out of our subsea wellhead technology,
the UWD-15 is a 15,000 psi wellhead that combines advanced technology for
high-pressure and hazardous-service environments. All seals are metal-to-
metal, with the UWD-15 packoff providing the basis for annular sealing. This
packoff does not rely on the tubing hanger weight to energize and can be
removed separately from the tubing hanger. It utilizes an SBMS seal at the
tubing hanger neck as standard. The seat is recessed to help ensure that
the seal contact surface is not damaged when the packoff is installed.
The design includes a fire-safe envelope for the upper master valve to the
annulus A.

Features and Benefits


The 15,000 psi wp UWD-15 Wellhead System minimizes leak path
to the environment.
Has a metal-to-metal seal, SBMS technology.

Ho r i z o n t a l System
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 solu-
tions. 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.

T L P / S PA R System
Gulf of Mexico (USA)
By far the most experienced suppliers of TLP/SPAR systems in the Gulf of Mexico,
we also installed the deepest and most fire-resistant SPAR in the Gulf.
As certain platforms are designed to move with water action, every element
connected to the sea floor becomes an integral part of a dynamic system and
requires specialized wellhead solutions like our TLP/SPAR systems. From the initial
stages of your project, we can help you decide to go with a wet or a dry tree.
Example: If youre facing a fragmented reservoir offshore and must execute multiple
interventions, economics indicate a surface tree.
FMC Surface Wellhead installed the first TLP/SPAR system in the Gulf of Mexico
during the 1980s and has been the leader in this technology since, installing more
systems worldwide than our competitors combined.

Features and Benefits


Special slip-lock assembly securely attaches wellhead to riser.

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
Teflon
effective sealing at very low pressures. These fully symmetrical V-ring
valves effectively seal against flow in either direction.
Teflon
Even though the seats float in their respective pockets, the U-seal

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 Double FMC Surface Wellheads patented

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 disassem-
bling 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.

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.

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 fail-
safe 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
26FMC7(pg62-85)_4.6.04 6/26/04 6:02 PM Page 14

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 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.

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 fail-
safe 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
Coiled spring design provides cutting force.
Control line port can be rotated 360.
Hydraulic section is resistant to corrosion.
Has a quick-disconnect clamp.

secondary seal if the stem packing is damaged.
Has a back-seat test port and packing leak detection port.
Spring packages are designed to fit customer application.
FMC Surface Wellhead has provided spring packages to cut various-sized wires. We provide a
North Sea operator a wire shear spring package to cut 7/16 braided line (shear force required
was 22,400 lbs.).
Oil port can be rotated 360 degrees for easy alignment of power-source control line.
Has a lifting eye to facilitate removing the actuator when mounted horizontally.
Two bonnet types are available to cover a wide range of applications. The Type A bonnet is the
extended version, and the Type B bonnet is the flush-mounted version.
Nipoloy process (electrolysis nickel) is used on hydraulic cylinder for corrosion resistance.

Seal echnology T
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.

Elastomer and Metal Seals

E lastomer 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 interfer-
ence 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.

M etal 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, sus-
pended 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

E lastomer Seals
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 seal-
ing 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, FS-Seal
while the larger sizes are rated to 5,000 psi working pressure.

This design is mechanically energized by lockdown screws after assembly and utilizes integrally Wire Mesh

resistance. It can be used up to 15,000 psi working pressure and a -50 to 250F temperature
range. The wire mesh is annealed 316 stainless-steel material for corrosion resistance.
Elastomeric Sealing Element

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 perme-
ation 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 move-
ment of the T-ring automatically controls excessive seal stresses caused by elastomer expansion. At very low temperatures, the phe-
nomenon 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 materi-
al. 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 seal-
ing 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 condi-
tioning 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 environ-
ments. 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.

Elastomer Ca p a b i l i t y

A wellhead is as good as its valves and seals, and


performance is about seal performance. Higher pres-
sures, 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.
