STE/SurfaceTestTree
Description
HES test trees are designed to meet
the requirements of individual well
testing operations. They can be
adapted with a crossover to various
sizes of tubing or drillpipe.
The test tree consists of a central
body containing
Four gate valves

Safety actuators as required

Swivel to allow tubing rotation

for manipulating downhole
equipment without turning the
test tree

Lower master valves for complete

surface test tree isolation
Chemical injection subs to allow
injection of hydrate inhibitors,
foam, or emulsion breakers as
needed

Each tree is supplied with a lifting

sub to allow rig elevators to raise
and lower the tree in the derrick.
Wing blocks are attached to the tree
to enable flexible flow lines to be
connected to the surface tree.
The test trees are available in
10,000- and 15,000-psi working
pressure models. The HES Surface
Test Tree configuration has a tensile
rating of 400,000 lb at maximum
working pressure.

Features and Benefits

The Surface Test Tree

Features stiff joints to allow the

installation to be freestanding
above the rig floor if desired

The manual wing valve is normally

used for kill line connection,
circulating procedures, or stimulation.

Meets applicable industry standards for added safety

Can be third-party certified in
accordance with requirements

Operation
The safety system can be as simple
as a manual pump, or it can be
controlled automatically by emergency shutdown (ESD) pilots
throughout the testing equipment.
The test tree has a normally closed
flow valve that is controlled by a
hydraulic actuator, which can be
tied into an ESD system with
manual or various degrees of
automation.

It also contains a check valve that

can be fitted to the kill valve. The
check valve is designed to prevent
well effluents from flowing back
through the kill line to the pumps,
which allows the kill valve to be left
open during testing operations.
The tree's swab valve and top
connection allow slickline, electric
line, coiled tubing, and other
operations if the BOPs and lubricator on top of the test tree are
adapted.
