WELLHEAD CLASSIFICATION
• Subsea wellhead.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE LAND
WELLHEADS AND A THE JACKUP MUDLINE
• The main difference between the wellheads used in the land
drilling application and the jackup drilling application (with
mudline) is the slip- and-seal assembly
• Because the weight of the well now sits at the seabed, a weight-set
slip- and-seal assembly is not used. Instead, a mechanical set
(energizing the seal by hand) is used, in which cap screws are
made up with a wrench against an upper compression plate on the
slip-and-seal assembly to energize the elastomeric seal.

COMPONENT REQUIREMENTS
APPLICABLE TO ALL WELLHEADS
• one component that has studs threaded into its housing and a second component with
a flange bolted to the studs.
• Uses:
– Typically used in any high pressure (i.e., 2000 psi to 30,000 psi) or higher risk operations.
– Used in any operations where there are requirements to shorten the height or length of the
wellhead components.
– Used in any operations where there is a need to reduce the bending moment on equipment.
– Along with flanged connections, studded connections allow for the installation of a test port
to meet requirements of pressure testing between primary and secondary seals.
SEALS
• Seal composition:
– Elastomer and Graphite / CarbonSeals.
– Metal Seals.
• Seal types:
– Primary Seals
– Secondary Seals
• If both are installed the wellhead can be pressure
tested.
