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.
