Specialty Wellheads
Close-Proximity Wellhead (CPW) Systems
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. Each CPW system is customized to meet specic
criteria supplied by our clients.
Platforms with available slots are often seen as the rst
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 eect on eld
production economics.
Additional benets can be derived by reducing the overall
height and size of new structures or by eliminating the need
for additional structures to develop existing elds.
Features —
• When compared to systems with multiple strings of casing
or tubing suspended in a single wellhead component,
completely independent adjacent wellhead systems:
– Allow the use of smaller BOP stacks,
– Eliminate communication between wellbores, and
– Allow easier workover or repair.
• Whenever possible, minimum clearance wellhead
equipment connector technology is included.
• Conventional or multi-bowl wellhead options are available.
• Pressure ratings up to 15,000 psi can be accommodated.
• Field-proven designs have been used on projects involving
2, 3, 5, 6, 11, and 12 close proximity wells with inside
casing and conductor strings ranging from 13-3/8” to 120”.
