Multibowl wellhead systems

In the 1950s, we pioneered the multibowl concept to reduce rig time by decreasing the number of times the BOP stack connection is broken. This is accomplished by suspending multiple strings of casing or tubing within one wellhead component. Through the last six decades, our multibowl wellhead system has become even faster, lighter and more compact.

Our current family of VetcoGray multibowl systems includes the latest technology to reduce non-drilling time, enhance safety, and lower the total cost of every well.

GE Oil & Gas has an extensive record of multibowl experience in the world’s major oil fields, both onshore and offshore. We have provided multibowl wellhead systems for high-pressure, sour-gas exploration, deepwater applications, and for use with mudline suspension equipment. No matter what the situation, the multibowl wellhead system can get the job done – decreasing cost and increasing safety at the same time.

Quick Connect System (QCS)

The VetcoGray QCS wellhead is a faster, safer, and more flexible solution for today’s surface drilling applications. Dramatic rig-time savings are achieved by decreasing the time needed between casing installations. The time and concernassociatedwith‘’hotwork”iseliminatedwithapre-installed landing ring that provides the connection point for the wellhead on the conductor. The QCS connection design also eliminates the time and safety concerns associated with hammers and hammer wrenches to make and break the wellhead connections. The use of mandrel-style hangers eliminates waiting on cement common with slip type casing hanger designs.

The combination of all these design features significantly decreases the time that personnel are under the rig floor, therefore providing a safer, more efficient work environment. The VetcoGray QCS wellhead is also flexible with components designed for online or offline cementing, fracing capabilities up to 10,000 psi, and drilling adapters for increased pressures. With average rig time savings of one day, the QCS is a faster, safer and more cost effective solution.

NT-2 wellhead connector

The VetcoGray NT-2 is a superior alternative to traditional flanges and clamps – overcoming slow make-up time, high-torque requirements, and handling difficulties inherent in API bolted flanges as well as large segmented clamps. In 1992, the NT-2connectorwasdistinguishedas“theworld’sfastestmake- upwellheadconnector”byPetroleumEngineerInternationalmagazine. The NT-2 family offers a full range of sizes and pressure ratings, fully fire tested to API 6FB (Part II) and performanceverifiedtoAPI6A,PR2(-75°Fto350°F).

Sliploc wellhead connector

The VetcoGraySliploc connector is used with modern high-performance systems to provide a quick, permanent casing-head connection over field-cut conductor casing. It utilizes set screws to actuate the slip-style connection fixing the casing head to the conductor. The adaptable Sliploc connector allows for elastomer sealing or metal-to-metal sealing.

VG-loc wellhead connector

The VG-loc connector is used with exploration systems and designed for fast , reliable make-up for diverter systems and casing heads onto plain-end pipe without welding. The connector stabs over a field-cut casing stub, then locks and seals to the stub utilizing a slip assembly actuated by set screws that drive and hold the slips against the pipe. Unlike the VetcoGray Sliploc connector, the VG-loc connection can be broken and the connector can then be utilized in future applications.

Close-Proximity Wellhead (CPW) systems

VetcoGray close-proximity wellhead systems enable two or more wellbores to be placed within a single conductor or caisson with production through adjacent independent wellhead systems.

Platforms with available slots are often seen as the first candidates for incorporating a CPW. When combined with 3D seismic, extended-reach drilling, horizontal drilling and multilateral completions, a few well-placed additional completions can have a dramatic positive effect on field production economics.

Additional benefits can be derived by reducing the overall size of new structures or eliminating the need for additional structures to develop existing fields.

Horizontal Tree (HT) systems

VetcoGray horizontal tree technology allows complete access to the well bore without the need to remove a conventional vertical tree. The well is produced through the side of the tubing hanger, flowing out through the master valve. Our HT systems are ideal for wells that may require frequent down-hole completion recovery, or where there are limited height requirements.

Our HT systems provide an economic solution in natural-flow well applications, since they do not require a conventional riser/workover system. With our proven all-metal seals, VetcoGray HT horizontal trees are suitable in every type of reservoir condition, from low-pressure submersible pump applications to natural-drive high-pressure/high-temperature gas fields.

CH hydraulic actuator

The CH actuator fully complements all the VetcoGray gate valve lines along with a broad range of valve sizes and pressure ratings, for maximum application coverage. It is a hydraulic fail-safe actuator designed for surface applications, with many features based on our OP (general subsea applications) and OPCH (deepwater applications) actuator technology, which has been used successfully in subsea applications since 1985.

CH-CTS hydraulic actuator

This variant of our CH line is designed to shear coil tubing, a process requiring a large amount of closing force that cannot be delivered by the actuator springs alone. Therefore, the spring chamber is designed as a pressure vessel so it can be pressurized with the hydraulic supply. An additional benefit of this design is that this reservoir can also be used as a quick-dump reservoir – enabling significant reductions in actuator closing times during normal operation.
