the stuffing box must withstand millions of strokes to prevent leakage
Why do the wellhead leaks occur?
New seals Worn seals (9 mo)
Typical replacement of the seals is every 3 – 12 months.When Oil/water leaks can not be stopped by adjustments,
installation of new seals occurs.As the seals’ shape deteriorates, the potential for leakage
increases.
