Assembly method for communicating with line in wellhead

An assembly is used for chemical injection through a wellhead to a capillary line in a well. A capillary hanger installs in the wellhead to support the capillary line. A no-return valve of the capillary hanger prevents fluid communication uphole from the supported capillary line. An injection module mounts above a gate valve on the wellhead and includes a movable mandrel disposed therein. Hydraulic pressure applied to a piston chamber in the module extends the mandrel through the open gate valve so that a distal end of the mandrel can open the no-return valve. At this point, chemical injection introduced into the module can communicate through a flow bore of the extended mandrel, through the open non-return valve, and on through the supported capillary line in the well.

Wellhead assembly

A wellhead is provided. The wellhead comprises a high pressure wellhead housing; a casing hanger assembly located within the high pressure wellhead housing; and a casing supported on the casing hanger assembly. The casing hanger assembly is arranged so that the casing is able to move relative to the high pressure wellhead housing. This may be to accommodate well growth experienced by the wellhead during use.

REMOTELY ACTIVATED CONNECTION DEVICE FOR A SPIRAL SHOULDER CONNECTION

A remotely activated connecting device for connecting a wellhead and or Christmas tree positioned on a wellhead to a fracing tree that may comprise a collet system for selectively engaging and disengaging from a threaded, spiral, and or flange shoulder that may utilize hydraulics for same.

WELL INTEGRITY MANAGEMENT FOR NATURAL FLOW OIL WELLS
20230228186 · 2023-07-20 ·

Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for determining an integrated surface-downhole integrity score for a natural flow oil well. Wellness surface parameters of a natural flow oil well are determined. Wellness downhole parameters for the natural flow oil well are determined, including parameters indicating well integrity and tubing/casing conditions. An integrated surface-downhole integrity score is determined using the wellness surface parameters and the wellness downhole parameters. An alert is provided for presentation to an operator in a user interface. The alert is provided in response to the integrated surface-downhole integrity score exceeding a threshold.

Double grip retention for wellbore installations

A wellhead assembly with a gripping device for securing multiple components of the wellhead assembly is provided. In one embodiment, a system includes a wellhead housing mounted above a hollow body, such that an axial bore extends through the wellhead housing and the hollow body, and a wellhead hanger positioned within the axial bore. The system also includes a clamp that provides a first grip that secures the wellhead housing to the hollow body and a second grip that secures the wellhead hanger within the axial bore. The second grip includes elastic deformation, via the clamp, of at least one of the wellhead housing or the hollow body into tight engagement with an exterior of the wellhead hanger to secure the wellhead hanger at the location within the axial bore. Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.
