Wellhead Configuration

Blowout Preventers (BOPs)

 Gooseneck:
Coiled Tubing
Guides Coiled Tubing into Injector
Slings: Connection For Crane
Wellhead Schematic
Equalizer Valves: Equalize pressure
Above and Below BOP Rams
Indicator Pins: Shows Position of
BOP Rams
Kill Port: Flow Entry for Kill Fluid in
an Emergency
Flow Tee: Directs Returns to
Flowback Iron and Tanks
Swab valve: Allows well to be shut in
while flowing through production
lines
Casing Valve: Allows Access to Production
Tubing Annulus
Casing Flange: Connection for Wellhead
Casing Bowl: Adapter for Casing
to Wellhead
Rig Up Configuration
Injector: Runs CT In and Out of Well
Stuffing Box: Seals CT Annulus
Blind Rams: Seals well without CT
Cutter Rams: Cuts CT
Slip Rams: Keeps CT from Moving Up/Down
Tubing Rams: Seals CT Annulus Emergency
2X2 Hamer Valve: Isolates Flowback
Iron from Wellhead
Flange or Quick Union X-over Connection
for CT Rig Up
Wing Valves: Isolates Production Flow
to pipeline (or process plant)
Top Master Valve: Shuts in Well Under
Normal Conditions
Emergency Master Valve: Shuts in Well in
an Emergency, ie. Top Master failure
Tubing Hanger: Hangs and Isolate
Production Tubing
Surface Vent: Allows Surface Casing to
Breath
Surface Casing: Supports Wellhead
& isolates surface zones

Inspection or After Acid or H2S Job
Regular Maintenance, Inspection and
Function Testing
Always Check Travel Indicators to Ensure
Ram Activation
Always Manually Lock Rams & “Flag”
Setting Slips Shortens Life of Coiled
Tubing at that Point

Never Rig up to Take Wellbore Flow

Through BOP
Rig up ‘Back Flow’ When Dealing With
Elastomer Attacking Chemicals or High
Temperature Wells
