Flowhead

Multifunction flow control from the top of the well

Applications

Reservoir testing and evaluation

Subsea completion installation

Reservoir cleanup

Well intervention

Well abandonment

Well stimulation

Features

Provides at least two surface

pressure barriers
Ensures reliable shut-in for harshenvironment operations

The flowhead supports the test string and provides a means of surface well control when completing, testing, or performing live well intervention operations. Two off-wing valves connect to
the kill and flow manifolds to control the flow of the wellbore fluids.
Valve actuators are controlled from a console located on the rig floor and link to the emergency
shutdown system for the flow wing valve. This configuration allows for remote shut-in of the
well at the flowhead. The handling sub attached to the top of the flowhead valve block is used
to tension the flowhead and the riser landing string.
The handling sub also provides an interface to the surface wireline or coiled tubing equipment.
A dynamic swivel is located between the main valve block and the lower master valve, allowing
rotation of the string without rotating the flowhead and preventing any rig movement from transferring torque into the riser or landing string.

Provides immediate flow shut-in if

downstream equipment fails
Handling sub

Prevents overpressure conditions

on downstream equipment
Allows test string to be hung from
the elevator
Enables rotation of the string without
rotating the flowhead
Includes double metal-to-metal seal
for reliability in harsh environments
Activates remotely
Automatically closes flow valve
if control pressure is lost
Allows a kill-line connection for pressure
testing, injection, or killing the well
