Fas
Loc
The Fas-Loc wellhead system was developed to meet all of the needs of conventional equipment while reducing much of the associated time, costs and risks. The Fas-Loc wellhead system significantly reduces rig time and associated rig costs over those utilizing conventional wellhead equipment. For multiple well programs, the diverter adapter and BOP service adapters may be transferred from well to well, eliminating the time required to nipple up and down between locations. Safety is enhanced with the Fas-Loc casing head by eliminating the requirements for torch cutting and welding operations normally associated with casing head installation. Another time saving feature is the ability to land the casing head through the BOP, eliminating the need to wait on cement. The Fas-Loc casing head bowl is designed to accept standard slip hanger arrangements. Further reducing time, the Fas-Loc tubing head makes up quickly without special tools. The Fas-Loc wellhead system easily adapts to accommodate intermediate casing strings according to the requirements of the drilling program.

SMB-22 Multibowl Systems SS-L Buttweld Sub and CMH Hanger System
Installing and removing the BOP stack is a time consuming procedure performed each time a conventional head or spool is added during drilling operations. During BOP removal, there is a potential for disaster either through a blowout or injury to the drilling crew. The compact SMB-22 multibowl wellhead system eliminates the need for one nipple up by landing multiple casing strings in one head. The SMB-22 multibowl wellhead assembly is a fullbore design. The lower casing hanger is fluted to allow ample by-pass for circulating mud and cement. The seal assembly, which lands on the flutes, also acts as a support for the upper hanger. A wide choice of tubing hanger designs are available for various service conditions. Emergency suspension systems are available for the lower hanger. The SS-L buttweld sub and CMH hanger is a versatile wellhead system offering a flanged and non-flanged means of nippling up a diverter system. Conductor and surface casing can be run through the diverter, thus saving time (one less nipple down), money, and safety. Rig time is saved by utilizing the SM-E mandrel hanger for the surface casing, which allows for faster installation of a conventional wellhead, or multibowl system, because no welding is required. The SS-L buttweld sub system is flexible to most casing programs and offers emergency equipment options.
Additional Features:
Conductor hanger may be tested externally once landed Conductor hanger seals may be re-energized, if necessary Surface casing hanger may be landed prior to cementing, eliminating the need to reciprocate Annular seal for surface casing hanger may be run through the diverter, locked in place (flanged diverter head) and tested externally Annular seal for surface casing hanger may be re-energized, if necessary All running/retrieving tools run on casing
S Tubing Heads
The S tubing head is designed to be full opening even over 7-5/8 casing. The straight bowl and 45 load shoulder allows the use of one bowl design for virtually all applications. A variety of single and dual tubing hangers are available for a wide array of service conditions and operating preferences. Multiple Completion Options SD dual tubing heads are equipped with two MC (multi-completion) guide pins located 180 apart just above the 45 load shoulder. When landing the dual tubing hanger, the MC guide pins are run in to orient the tubing hanger segments. Tubing Head Bottom Connections Standard bottom preparations for tubing heads include single or double IP seals, SP or SP-H packoff bushings. For IP secondary seal configurations, the tubing head provides injection ports through which plastic can be injected to enhance the IP seal.
S Tubing Head
SP Secondary Seal
The SP seal is a simple press energized design comprised of an elastomer element sandwiched between two compression plates. The assembly is retained in the pocket with a snap ring. The SP- H seal is similar in design to the SP, but is better suited for use in higher pressure applications. The assembly is retained in the pocket by a threaded ring. The Double IP seal is ideal for use as crossover where moderately severe service is expected. Each seal is plastic energized, which can also be tested via a port located between the seals to verify seal integrity.
S-22 Casing Hanger Minimum Casing Loads for S-22 Casing Hangers Bowl Sizes Casing Size 11 13-5/8 16
4-1/2 - 5-1/2 7 - 7-5/8 8-5/8 - 9-5/8 10-3/4 13-3/8 55,000 40,000 58,000 77,000 150,000
Casing weight must meet or exceed those listed in the chart to the right. If the minimum weight is not met, the elastomer seal may not extrude sufficiently to seal against the casings surface. If the casing weight is in excess of 50% of the casing joint strength, the seal may over-extrude and become ineffective. Alternate hangers are available for these conditions.

The S-22-NL casing hanger is appropriate for no load or mudline applications. The slips are set by pulling slight tension on the casing. When the tension is released, the slight casing movement sets the slips. The annulus seal above the slips is energized manually after the BOP stack is removed.
Fluted thru-bore Tension hanger available for liquid or N2 type annular completions BOP slick joint utilized to maintain N 2 in annulus during hanger completion DHCV pressure controlled during completions

The Communication Slick Joint was designed to allow operators to reciprocate tubing up to 24 feet for displacement during completion or de-completion of a well where hydraulic control lines are necessary for downhole control valves. An annular seal is maintained with the S wrap around tubing hanger, and an external shroud provides protection for the DHCV line during controlled reciprocation while under pressure.
Separate suspension nut eliminates galling during installation and allows for easy makeup without requiring the rotation of the tree PolyPak seals separate DHCV ports, expediting installation and maximizing years of trouble-free service Metal seal between coupling and adapter provides leak-proof integrity External fitting allows testing of flow bore seal Modular two piece design allows for disassembly and seal access without disturbing tubing Shroud has an integral stop to prevent over extending during reciprocation Available for working pressures through 15,000 psi

Casing Heads
The NW-A casing head consists of a standard S-22 bowl with a manually locked slip mechanism. The seal between the conductor and the wellhead is achieved with injectable elastomers.
Diverter Heads
The NW-B diverter head consists of a full-open bore and friction pin locking mechanism which makes the head easily removable. The low pressure seal is formed by injectable elastomers.
