A system may include a connector coupled to a wellhead assembly. The system may also include a hydraulic power unit coupled to the connector and a valve of the wellhead assembly. The system may further include a controller in communication with the connector and the hydraulic power unit. The controller may be operable to receive one or more conditions associated with the connector and a valve of the wellhead assembly. The controller may also be operable to operate at least one of the connector and the valve through the hydraulic power unit based on the one or more condition.

Seals for pressure control fittings are disclosed, where such pressure control fittings are located at a wellhead, for example. Embodiments of cam lock seals, a spring-driven ball race seal and wedge seals are disclosed.

A system includes a plug assembly having a housing configured to be positioned within a first passageway formed in a wellhead component. A channel is formed in the housing, and the channel is configured to enable fluid to flow from a bore of the wellhead component into the channel. A sensor is supported by the housing and is configured to measure a condition of the fluid within the channel. An annular seal is configured to extend between an outer surface of the housing and an inner surface of a second passageway formed in a flange that circumferentially surrounds at least part of the plug assembly while the flange is coupled to the wellhead component.

A load transfer profile for connection of two bodies without preloading uses a horizontal force couple instead of a vertical force couple for maximum efficiency. The load transfer profile includes a series of tapers and/or diameters that create a radial force couple separated by an axial distance. In particular, the load transfer profile includes at least a first horizontal contact and a second horizontal contact, where each contact is a landing shoulder followed by a stop shoulder or a radial protrusion. The first and second horizontal contacts are offset by the axial distance to accommodate a force-determined bending moment such that system structural fatigue capacity is optimized. A lock mechanism assists with resisting axial loads without creating preload stresses and with locking the bodies together.

A system, in certain embodiments has, a fluid seal having a seal body, including a seal interface having one or more engagement portions, a first elastomer portion disposed along the seal interface, and a second elastomer portion disposed along the seal interface, wherein the first and second elastomers have material properties that are different from one another.

Present embodiments include a sealing system configured to be disposed about a first wellhead component, wherein the sealing system includes a first seal and a pre-charging system configured to exert a first initial lateral loading force on the first seal to increase a first initial seal contact pressure of the first seal.

A system includes a flow-through component fluidly coupled to a wellhead and including an annular passage disposed about a central flow-through bore. The annular passage is transverse to the central flow-through bore. The central flow-through bore is downstream of the annular passage. The system also includes a first 90-degree elbow fluidly coupled to the flow-through component, a multi-phase flow meter disposed downstream of, and fluidly coupled to the first 90-degree elbow, a second 90-degree elbow disposed downstream of, and fluidly coupled to, the multi-phase flow meter, a monitor fluidly coupled to the second 90-degree elbow, and a choke disposed downstream of, and fluidly coupled to, the second 90-degree elbow, wherein, the central flow-through bore is downstream of the choke.
