AbstractThis paper describes the development of full-bore wellheads, a
new 18-3/4 in. 15,000 psi W.P. system, from conception tofield installation. The wellhead when installed has a full-bore
diameter without a casing hanger landing shoulder to allow
one more casing string to be run below the mudline under BOP control due to this major wellhead innovation.
Introduction
Today wells are being drilled in deeper and deeper water
which associates to higher costs. More economical risk is
taken to drill wells in deeper water and reaching the ‘payzone’with a sufficient size production string to produce from is
more important than ever before. In addition to deeper water,
there is a need to find ways to drill in more difficult
formations some of which include various shallow zone
hazards1.
As a result of these concerns, there has been a demand tofind ways to ensure that the operators can reach the planned
hole depth and/or size required to produce from. Unforeseen
hole problems that may have not been expected may hinder reaching the depth requirements. By providing one more
casing string than a conventional 18-3/4 in. wellhead system, a
better opportunity to reach the desired hole depth and size can be achieved.
To help solve these problems a new 18-3/4 in. wellhead
system with a 36 in. conductor string was designed and
implemented. A 36 in. x 18-3/4 in. wellhead system consists
of the following casing program:
Conventional:
36 in. x 28 in./26 in. x 20 in. x 16 in. x 13-3/8 in. x 9-5/8in. x 7 in.
Full-bore:
36 in. x 28 in./26 in. x 22 in. x 18 in. x 16 in. x 13-3/8 in. x9-5/8 in. x 7 in.
The new system adds the 18 in. string which is run under
BOP control, and the 20 in. becomes 22 in. hanging from thehigh pressure housing as shown in Figure A. The 36 in. string
is jetted or cemented in place using conventional methods
The 18-3/4 in. high pressure housing is run with 22 in. casingsuspended from the bottom and landed in the 36 in. housing
and cemented in place. The 18 in. string is landed in the 22 in
string below the mudline in its respective sub. The 16 in
string is run like the 18 in. string, but it will land in an
independent sub in the 22 in. string above the 18 in. string and below the high pressure housing. The load shoulder is then se
in the high pressure housing, and 13-3/8 in., 9-5/8 in. and 7 in
casing can be run and set, respectively, with each subsequen
casing string landing on top of the other.The new system provides one more casing string to the
above conventional program, but with reduced radia
clearances between several of the strings. Furthermore, due tothe tight clearances, drives the requirement for high clearance
or flush joint connections. This additional string of casing
helps operators utilize existing rig equipment sizes and
capabilities1.

Design
Subsea Wellhead Housing
The primary design feature of this new wellhead system is the
high pressure housing. In a conventional 18-3/4 in. subseawellhead there is a load shoulder, which reduces the bore to an
approximately 17-9/16 in. diameter that allows a casing

hanger to be run and set on at any time in the drilling program
and allows for a 17-1/2 in. bit to pass through. In this new
wellhead system, the high pressure housing has an 18-5/8 in.in diameter, or full-bore, throughout the entire length. This is
what coins the term ‘FullBore’.
The load shoulder in the FullBore Wellhead System is amechanism that consists of a c-ring, load shoulder retainer,
shear pins, and anti-rotation ring prepacked in the housing prior to shipping offshore, as shown in Figures B-1 thru B-5.When it is time to create the load shoulder the c-ring is shifted
down into its set position as shown in Figure B-3 with a load
shoulder actuation tool (LSAT). After the load shoulder is set,
the ID of the wellhead housing is approximately 17-9/16 in. in
diameter, like a conventional subsea wellhead.
Load Shoulder Actuation Tool
The load shoulder is set with a running tool that actuates
the load shoulder subsea with weight, as shown in Figure C-1.It runs down the hole on drill pipe, locates four (4) slots in the
housing, weight is applied down to set the load ring and a
pressure test is performed to verify the tool has energized theload ring and/or perform BOP isolation tests. The tool
consists of 3 primary systems, the detent system, the load
shoulder setting system, and the test verification system.
The detent system, as shown in Figures C-2 and C-3, gives
feedback to the rig floor that the four (4) dogs in the tool haveengaged in the four (4) slots in the wellhead. The detent
system consists of four (4) lever pins, an actuator ring, four (4)
levers, and four (4) dogs. When the tool stem is rotated to theright or left the dogs rub on the inside bore of the housing until
they line up with the slots in the housing. At this time, the
stem is locked to the tool. When the dogs line up with theslots, the dogs move outwards by the force that is transferred
from the weight on the stem. This outward movement occurs,
because the weight on the stem transfers into the actuator ring,to the lever pins, to the levers which are hinged, and finally
into the dogs. When the levers swing out, the actuator ring
expands, and the stem drops approximately two (2) feetreleasing from the tool. This drop gives the rig feedback that
the dogs are now oriented with the slots.The load shoulder setting system, as shown in Figures C-4
thru C-6, is a series of parts in the tool starting from the stem
down to the dogs that utilize weight to release the load
shoulder from its prepacked position and push the shoulder down into its final setting position. By maintaining sufficient
weight down on the stem, the lower body of the tool begins to
stroke and the dogs make contact with the load shoulder,
breaks the shear pins, collapses the load shoulder by sliding itdown the load shoulder retainer, and then drives it down untilit comes to a stop. At this point, the load shoulder is also
locked down with a detent mechanism by the load shoulder
retainer.The test verification system, is a two (2) part system, as
shown in Figure C-7. First, it gives the rig feedback that the
tool has fully stroked. Prior to fully stroking, pumping downthe annulus will circulate fluids back up the drill pipe and vice
versa if pumping down the drill pipe. When the tool fully
strokes, the bulk seal at the top of the tool becomes energized
with weight down on the stem. At this point, the BOP is
closed and pressure is applied using the choke or kill line up to
15,000 psi. The lead impression pins in the tool at the load
shoulder are fully impressed which will be verified after
retrieving the tool. Second, the pressure test, which isolatethe wellhead from the equipment above, will also allow the
operator to test rig equipment at this time if desired up to
15,000 psi.
Casing HangersWith the addition of the new wellhead system, three (3)
new casing hangers have been introduced. First, the 18 in
hanger, which is the key string to the wellhead program
Second, is the 16 in. hanger, which is not a new size hanger,
but it is unique to this wellhead program since it has to work
in relation to the 18 in. Third, the 9-5/8 in. or 2nd positionhanger in the wellhead is unique in the fact that the hanger
does not have wickers. This allows more deflection in the
system while maintaining sealability up to 15,000 psi and not
sacrificing lockdown capabilities. Design considerations othe 9-5/8 in. hanger geometry and how the annulus seal work
are beyond the scope of this paper 2.
18” Casing Hanger System
This hanger and landing sub with the running and retrieva
tool is one of the key components of this system. Figure D-1
shows what it looks like in its operational condition. The 18
in. string allows operators to run casing with a 21 in. drilling
riser and an 18-3/4 in. BOP stack. The 18 in. hanger is a one piece passive design with a high strength load shoulder. I
does not have any loose parts. The hanger’s landing sub is a
one piece design as well. It is a machined component with ahigh strength load shoulder.
Since the amount of contact between the hanger and the
landing sub is so small, 0.093 in., the high strength rings arerequired to provide the bearing capacity that is required to
support the weight and pressure requirements. The smal
shoulder is designed to support approximately 500,000 lbs ofweight from casing and 4000 psi of pressure which induces an
additional 1 million lbs on the load shoulder when testing the
annulus seal with its running and retrieval tool. This shouldemust support approximately 1.5 million lbs of axial load. The
landing sub has a nominal inside diameter of 18.225 in. Thisdoes not leave much clearance between the 18 in. casing and
its sub. To allow for fluid to pass as the pipe is tripped in the
hole, slots have been machined in the sub that go around the
back side of landing ring, as shown in Figure D-1. The flow by area while tripping pipe is approximately 12 in2 with 0.2 in
particle size. Once the hanger has fully landed, the flow-by
area increases to 16 in2 with a 0.7 in. particle size for
cementing operations.The running and retrieval tool, shown in Figures D-1 thru
D-3, is used to install the hanger and seal in the hole in the
same trip. It can also run the hanger and seal in separate trips
This tool consists of two (2) basic systems, the camming system and lead impression system.
The camming system allows the operator to pump down
the drill pipe to function different features of the too
depending on how many right hand turns are made in the dril pipe. This can be done because the cam travels up the tool
with respect to the rest of the tool, using threads interfaced
with the stem. As the cam travels up, ports in the cam open
and close communications with various parts of the tool

OTC 15396 3
When four (4) turns are made in the tool, the tool locks to the
hanger, is ready to run down hole and is in the cementing
position. When eight (8) turns are in the stem, communicationis now open between the drill pipe and the seal setting piston,
as shown in Figure D-2. Figure D-3 shows what the seal looks
like in the energized position after the piston is stroked on thetool. When twelve (12) turns are in the stem, communication
is now closed with the seal setting piston and the tool unlocksfrom the hanger to allow releasing from the hanger. Thefeature of unlocking and locking to a hanger using a cam is
explained in detail in a previous OTC paper 63913.
The lead impression system, as shown in Figure D-2,
allows the operator to visually look at the tool and determine
exactly where the hanger is located relative to its landing sub.During the seal setting mode, pressure strokes out the lead
impression piston and it impresses in a machined groove in the
landing sub. The piston is then retracted when the tool is
pressurized from above to test the seal.In the event that the seal needs to be removed because it
did not hold pressure, it can be removed on a separate trip
using the 18 in. Seal Retrieval Tool. This tool lands off on thehanger, latches into the seal, de-enenergizes the seal, and pulls
it out of the hole. If another seal is decided to be installed,
then an 18 in. Clean and Flush Tool, would be used to clean
out the pocket between the hanger and the landing sub using
wash ports in the tool. This is a simple tool that lands on thecasing hanger, rotated to the right slowly to agitate any debris
and fluid is pumped down the drill pipe to circulate the debris.
16” Casing Hanger System
This system is similar to the 18 in. system in the fact there
is a hanger and annulus seal as well as its unique running andretrieval tool. The 16 in. hanger is larger than conventional 16
in. hangers that are used in 18-3/4 in. wellhead systems. Since
the inside diameter of a conventional wellhead isapproximately 17-9/16 in., the outside diameter of the hanger
must be less than this to pass through. However, the full-bore
wellhead system has a full opening of 18.630 in. that allows alarger hanger to pass through. The hanger requires a larger
outside diameter than a conventional 16 in. hanger to be ableto land off in the 22 in. string since the 16 in. landing sub has
to big enough to allow the 18 in. hanger to pass through.
Since the landing sub has to allow the 18 in. hanger to pass
through, it does not leave much shoulder for the 16 in. hanger to land on. This leads to a No-Go collet style hanger, as
shown in Figure E-1.
The No-Go collet hanger is a 3-piece design which
consists of a hanger body, No-Go collet and centralizer band,as shown in Figure E-1. When the hanger is run in the holewith its running and retrieval tool, the collet tags off on the
landing sub. Next, when sufficient weight has transferred into
the shoulder, the hanger slides down the collet and at the sametime the collet arms swing outwards and catch a larger profile
in the landing sub which will support all the weight and
pressure requirements. The centralizer’s function is to keep
the hanger centered in the 22 in. pipe as much as possible.This is to prevent the collet from pre-maturely activating while
tripping in the hole. This style of hanger is required because
the small tag shoulder only provides 0.06 in. amount of
contact between the landing sub and the hanger. The large
profile supports 750,000 lbs of weight and 6500 psi o
pressure which induces an additional 670,000 lbs on the load
shoulder. The load shoulder must also support approximately1.5 million lbs of axial load at any one time. To allow fluid to
pass as the pipe is tripped in the hole and to keep pipe surges
to a minimum there are slots on the outside of the hanger andslots and holes in the running and retrieval tool. The flow-by
area while tripping pipe and during cementing operations is 16in2 with a 0.7 in. particle size. However, the particle size wil
be slightly reduced when the 16 in. casing enters the 18 in
casing.
The running and retrieval tool, shown in Figures E-2 thru
E-5, is used to install the hanger and seal in the hole in the
same trip. This tool, like the 18 in. running tool, can run thehanger and seal in separate trips. This tool consists of two (2
basic systems, the camming system and the dual test pressure
system.
The camming system, is very similar to the 18 in. systemIt allows the operator to pump down the drill pipe to function
different features of the tool. As the stem is rotated to the
right, the cam moves up the stem on threads. During thiupwards travel, the ports on the cam open and close
communication between various parts of the tool. Like the 18
in. tool, communication is opened between the drill pipe and
seal setting piston when there are eight (8) turns in the stem, as
shown in Figure E-2. Another feature of this rising cam is thathe stem does not see a torque build up as the stem is rotated
since it does not move vertically. Like the 18 in. tool, as the
stem is rotated every four (4) turns the tool performs differenoperations.
The dual test pressure system gives the ability to test the
seal through the drill pipe or in the annulus. When there areeight (8) turns in the stem, the BOP is closed and pressure is
applied down the choke or kill line to test the seal. This
applies pressure across a large area, from the inside diameterof the landing sub where the seal is located, to the outside
diameter of the drill pipe where the pipe rams or annular bag
seals. When testing to higher pressures, up to 6500 psi, testingdown the drill pipe is required. This mode occurs when the
stem has twelve (12) turns in it, as shown in Figure E-4Weight is set down on the drill pipe that energizes a bulk seal
and pressure is applied down the drill pipe at the same time
This traps the pressure between the bulk seal and the annulus
seal. The trapped pressure prevents the tool from applying anend load effect on the hanger and landing sub, but tests the
seal.
In the event that the seal needs to be removed because it
did not hold pressure, the same procedures would take effecas it did for the 18 in. system, however, with a unique 16 in.Seal Retrieval Tool and Clean and Flush Tool.
Operations
Operators have and can use this new full-bore wellhead
system in different ways. Some choose conservative
approaches while others take more aggressive ones to gain trip
savings.Conservative method of installation:
1) Jet in 36 in. casing.
2) Drill out for 22 in. casing.

3) Run in hole and cement 22 in. casing.
4) Install 18-3/4 in. BOP stack and 21 in. riser.
5) Drill out for 18 in.6) Remove the nominal seat protector from the high pressure
housing.
7) Remove the nominal seat protector from the 16 in.landing sub.
8) Run in hole and cement 18 in. casing.9) Install nominal seat protector in the 16 in. landing sub.10) Install nominal seat protector in high pressure housing.
11) Drill out for 16 in.
12) Remove the nominal seat protector from the high pressure
housing.
13) Remove the nominal seat protector from the 16 in.landing sub.
14) Run in hole and cement 16 in. casing.
15) Install nominal seat protector in high pressure housing.
16) Drill out for 13-3/8 in.17) Remove the nominal seat protector from the high pressure
housing.
18) Set the load shoulder and verify proper installation.19) Run and set 13-3/8 in. casing.
Since the 18 in. and 16 in. casing hangers will not pass
through the wellhead with the nominal seat protector installed,
it must be pulled prior to running the casing strings. Having to pull the protector prior to running 18 in. and 16 in. is a
downside to the full-bore system. Since clearances have
become so tight between the 22 in., 18 in. and 16 in. strings,something had to give to make this system work. In a
conventional wellhead system, 16 in. casing has a smaller
outside diameter which lands in a sub located in the 20 in.string and can run through the nominal seat protector without
having to retrieve it prior to running casing. As a result of this
downside, a new tool that allows operators to run a bore protector on the drill string is available to operators who are
willing to take more chances to save trips.
A more aggressive method of installation that allows tripsavings is the following:
1) Jet in 36 in. casing.2) Drill out for 22 in. casing.
3) Run in hole and cement 22 in. casing.
4) Install 18-3/4 in. BOP stack and 21 in. riser.
5) Drill out for 18 in. with Drill String Installed Wear Sleeve Assembly and Running and Retrieval Tool.
6) Run in hole and cement 18 in. casing.
7) Drill out for 16 in. with Drill String Installed Wear
Sleeve Assembly and Running and Retrieval Tool.8) Run in hole and cement 16 in. casing.9) Install the nominal seat protector in high pressure
housing.
10) Drill out for 13-3/8 in.11) Remove the nominal seat protector from the high
pressure housing.
12) Set the load shoulder and verify proper installation.13) Run and set 13-3/8 in. casing.
The (DSI-WS), Drill String Installed Wear Sleeve, allows
an operator to run a wear sleeve in the drill string and not
make additional trips to run and retrieve it (Figure F). The
tool is located above the bottom hole assembly latched to its
running and retrieval tool. When the string is tripped in the
hole, the wear sleeve latches into the high pressure housing
releases from the running and retrieval tool with right handrotation and the drilling string travels down hole to commence
drilling. The sleeve essentially protects the wellhead while
drilling. When the string is coming out of the hole the weasleeve latches back onto its tool and is retrieved.
The second method is more aggressive than the first because the high pressure housing seal profiles and 16 in. sea profile are exposed to the bottom hole assembly and bit when
passing through. Furthermore, the 16 in. sealing profile is also
exposed while drilling. Some operators are willing to take this
risk to save trips. In the case that the 16 in. seal does not hold
pressure, cement is one option to make the seal.For those operators who choose the more aggressive plan
six (6) trips are eliminated as compared to the conservative
plan. If the 16 in. protector is used then only three (3) trip
will be saved relative to the conservative plan. The protectohas to be pulled prior to running 18 in. and 16 in. casing.
Pre-development and Final Qualification ProgramEarly in the program, a stacked wellhead system was designed
and built to add one more casing string to a conventiona
wellhead. The 18 in. casing string was located in its landingsub in the 22 in. The 16 in. string was landed and located on
top of the 18 in. hanger. The 16 in. sitting on top of the 18 in
coined the term ‘stacked system’. This system allowed fo
100% passive hangers on both. Furthermore, if the 18 instring did not need to be run, the 16 in. hanger could land in
the same sub the 18 in. lands on. However, this system did
have a serious downside. If the 18 in. hanger did not make i
all the way down in the proper location, the 16 in. hanger
would also sit high. This could have created sealing problemsAs a result of this deficiency, the split full-bore system was
created. The 18 in. and 16 in. hangers were separated and
could be run as far apart and as close as desired within reasonThe split system went through vigorous testing in the
laboratory.
The load shoulder was load tested to 6.2 million lbs. Theload was simulated by apply 22,500 psi on a test plug across
an 18.630 diameter. The load shoulder showed negligible
brinelling after testing.
The 18 in. and 16 in. hanger systems which include
hangers, seals and running and retrieval tools were fully testedin their respective landing subs. The subs were welded in a
piece of 22 in. of pipe with test apparatuses to cross over to a
hydraulic ram underneath and above to push and pull the
running and retrieval tool to simulate offshore operations tofunction the tool.
Field Installation Status
In early part of 2001, this new wellhead was installed for the
first time in the Gulf of Mexico. The new high pressure
wellhead housing with the full-bore opening along with the 18in. and 16 in. were successfully installed. Since that time five
(5) more systems have been run and set with 100% success
through the year 2002. In 2003, six (6) to ten (10) more
systems are planned for installation. The numbers show tha

there seems to be an increasing demand for this type of
system.
Conclusions
This new full-bore wellhead system gives operators theadvantage of running one more casing string through a high
pressure housing under BOP control. Being to able to drillone more hole section with mud that returns to the surfacethrough the 21 in. riser, lets operators work through the
difficult surface shall zone hazards.
It allows operators to use existing rig equipment and
capabilities. Rig space is saved because only one riser andone BOP stack need to be used to drill the entire wellhead
program and still have one more large casing string.
The new system provides the opportunity to drill deeper
and reach the required zone and/or complete the drilling
program with a larger size hole.However, this new system is more difficult to run than a
conventional system, due to the tighter clearances between
strings. Hence, pipe has to be run slower to reduce surge pressures and flush or near flush joint connections need to be
used on 18 in. and 16 in. casing.
In general, when one more casing string is needed to
complete the drilling program or to be able to have one morestring “in your back pocket” for those just in case or
unanticipated situations, the full-bore system is the wellhead
that can do that.
