Tubing Head Adapters:

Tubing Head Adaptors are designed for tubing suspension and can be used with extended neck threaded hanger PTHSE for a max WP of 15000 PSI. These can be provided with a studded up connections and a recessed lower flange with test & bleed ports. Tubing Head Adaptors can also be used with wrap around tubing hanger (PTHSW) for a max. WP of 10000 PSI and are threaded female for tubing suspension. It can be threaded according to the customer specification.

 

 

 

 

Dual split type Tubing Hanger ‘PTHDE’ is used for Dual Tubing String applications. This utilizes plastic packing between the seals for sealing. It is fixed by hold down screws.

 

Automatic Casing Hanger (PCHA) is basically designed for heavy load service and is used for Casing Head Housing ‘PCHH’ and Casing Head Spool ‘PCHS’ described earlier. When the Casing load is applied to the hanger, the top ring connected by the Pack-off and shoulder screw compresses the packing to seal the annulus pressure of the casing. This casing hanger is normally used for pressure ratings upto 3000 PSI. For ratings over 3000 PSI, type ‘PSPO’ Pack-off is used to prevent collapse of the pipe.

 

Unitised Casing Hanger (PCHU) can be used both for Casing Head Housing (PCHH) and Casing Head Spool (PCHS) as described earlier. This Hanger is designed for medium or heavy load service. This hanger is normally latched around the pipe and lowered in casing head body. After the casing is landed, shoulder screws should be evenly tightened to affect a positive annular seal. The hanger may be used upto 3000 PSI WP. For ratings over 3000 PSI, ‘PSPO’ Pack-off is used to prevent collapse of the pipe.

 

Tubing Hanger Spool is used in combination with Tubing Hanger coupling, Wrap around tubing hanger (PTHSW) and ‘PTHS’ type tubing spool. Tubing Hanger Coupling allows installation by screwing the union nut of the tubing hanger coupling without a need to turn the X-mas tree. Coupling is threaded for installing a back pressure valve. Top & Bottom of the coupling can be threaded to suit customer’s requirement.

Tubing Hangers are basically four types. These are Mandrel Type ‘PTHSM’, Wrap around Type ‘PTHSW’, Extended Neck Type ‘PTHSE’ and Dual Split Type ‘PTHDE’. Extended Neck Type with control lines ‘PTHSCL’, Dual Split Type with control lines ‘PTHDCL’, mandrel type with metal to metal seals (PTHTSM) and Mandrel type equipped with a continuous control line with metal to metal seals such as PTHTSMM are also supplied.

‘PTHSM’ type Tubing Hanger is used for the PTHS type of Tubing Head Spool described later. It seals the annulus pressure by compressing the seal with the weight of the tubing and the hold down screws.

Extended Neck Type ‘PTHSE’ is used for the Tubing Head Spool described later. This type is like ‘PTHSM’ type tubing hanger but having an extended neck with a seal ring which seals fluid in the tubing. This type seals the annulus pressure by compressing the seal with the weight of the tubing and the hold down screws.

The ‘PTHSW’ type is a split type tubing hanger and may be wrapped round the tubing. It seals the annulus pressure by compressing the seal with the hold down screws installed in the top flanges of the spool. This type of hanger is used where tubing must be rotated or moved up and down under pressure. This tubing hanger is used together with a tubing hanger coupling and a tubing hanger spool.

HREADED CONNECTIONS:

All Integral equipment internal and outlet connection including Casing and Tubing Hanger which have API Threads, conform to API-5B stipulations for concerned tolerances.

CHRISTMAS TREE:

The equipment include Tubing Head Adaptors, Valves, Trees, Crosses, Top Connectors and Chokes which can be assembled together and assembly can be used to provide controlled access to the Tubing String bore and control the rate of production. Testing of X-Mas Trees is done as per Latest standard of API-6A which covers drift test and Hydrostatic test.

 

Adjustable Chokes Contain following features:

 

  • Interchangeability of parts to construct a positive, adjustable, or combination choke.
  • Bonnet nut has rugged integrally forged lugs for hammering nut loose.
  • Built-in safety feature which releases residual pressure in the choke body before the nut is fully removed. The inside of the choke body is vented to atmosphere after the bonnet nut is partially removed.
  • Interchangeability of component parts for a particular pressure range. For example, the same blanking plugs and bonnet assemblies are used in nominal 2″ 2000 through 10,000 psi WP.
  • Stainless steel adjustable choke needle and seat (Tungsten Carbide/ Ceramic lining needle and seat also available for severe service applications).

Lubricator (PL)

Lubricators which connect directly to the top of a X-Mas tree above the master valve are available in various sizes and end connections and pressure ratings varying from 5000 to 20000 PSI both for standard and sour service.

Operating a Lubricator is by far the most dangerous aspect of well head service work. Therefore extreme caution has to be exercised while operating this tool.

Measurement of Rod travel is done as follows:

  1. Measure from the tie down piece on the tubing head to The tree cap for a ball weevil hanger.

Or

  1. Measure from the top of the tubing head adaptor bottom

Flange to the tree cap on a hanger bushing completion.

In each case the window section of lubricator must also be measured. This will ensure that the proper length of the rod will be used. Most lubricator rods are marked in 5 such increments:

  1. Needle Valve A

Valve located in manifold by pass assembly closest to Adaptor flange.

  1. Needle Valve B

Valve located on manifold bypass assembly closest to the First UNION connection.

(NOTE: In lubricators up to 5000 PSI, needle valve B is also used as a bleed down valve. Needle valve C is used in 10000, 15000 & 20000 PSI lubricators to equalize pressure throughout the tool and not as bleed down valves.)

  1. Needle Valve C

Only valve with a pressure gauge attached. Available in 10000, 15000 & 20000 PSI lubricators.

Flanged Drilling Spool (PFDS)

These are designed to allow unrestricted circulation of mud in the well and provide flexibility in arranging flow line openings in blowout preventor hookups. Studded or open faced ends and outlet connections can be provided. Generally hub of the flanged outlet is welded. Height of spool will vary form 24″ -36″. However spools as per specific need of customers can also be provided.

Valve Removal Plugs (PVRP)

All flanged or studded outlets on casing heads, casing spools and tubing heads are threaded for valve removal plugs. All plugs have standard API Line Pipe Threads and are small enough to pass thru the valve to be removed. The plug is installed when the valve is to be removed and removed when the valve is to be installed.

Valve Removal Tool (PVRT)

These are generally pressure-balanced manual hydraulic tool designed for safe and reliable operations in the installation and removal of valve removal plugs, in order to install or replace a well-head outlet valve under pressure conditions.

This tool is also designed to accommodate 2 1/16″, 2 9/16″, 3 1/8″ Valve up to 10000 PSI WP. Adapter may be provided for use with 1 13/16″, 2 1/16″, 2 9/16″, 3 1/8″ flanged valves and screwed end valves. Various sizes of valve removal plug sockets are also provided for the respective sizes of plugs.

In the figure to the left, Needle Valve ‘A’ is located next to pressure gauge on manifold by-pass assembly and needle valve ‘B’ is connected to 1/2″ NPT TEE on far end of manifold bypass assembly. Needle Valve ‘C’ is a bleeder valve located behind flange packing.

ACT fabricates custom designed choke and kill manifold:

1) In oil/gas well drilling operation, drilling fluids (Muds) of designed gravity are used to overcome sub-surface pressure or the influx of formation fluid. One some occasions, kicks are experienced with change of pressure of formation while drilling. This is necessary to build up drilling fluid density to prevent influx of formation fluid. The oke and Kill Manifold allows the driller to regulate back-pressure on the formation while gradually density of the drilling fluid is built up by circulation with closed B.O.P. till the well is stabilized and drilling is resumed.

The Choke and Kill Manifold are available up to 10,000 PSI in sizes of 2″ to 3″ for standard and sour services. Other type of Manifold (stand pipe, cementing, etc.) can also be made available.

2) For well Testing / Completion / Intervention, Industry uses varies configuration of Manifold, as per requirement of Service / Operating Companies, ACT designs and fabricates custom made manifold in sizes of 2″ to 3″ up to 10,000 PSI for standard and sour services for following application.

(a) Choke Manifold for flow back/work over

(b) Production Manifold for diverting flow through test separator or vent or burner.

(c) Gas Manifold for diverting gas through orifice meter or burner.

(d) Data Recorder for recording flowing pressure and temperature.

(e) Stimulation / Treatment for Well stimulation / treatment service.
