WhoWe AreFrom Day One: L istening to the Customer. In August 1927, brothers Arthur and

Kirby Pennick of Houston founded Oil Center Tool (O-C-T) to produce pump liners and rods for the oilfields

of East Texas. In 1930, O-C-T introduced a new type of casing head and tubing head that was an

immediate success. ➤ O-C-T soon followed these innovations with another first. At the time, completion

wellheads (Christmas trees) were assembled and tested on-site – an expensive, time-consuming and

dangerous practice. O-C-T had a better idea, along with better completion wellhead components. The

company introduced the first factory-assembled and tested Christmas tree, an innovation hailed as a

landmark in efficiency, safety and cost-effectiveness. ➤ After only a few years of operation, O-C-T was

on its way to setting the standard for the design, manufacture and service of the surface wellhead. The

company that would become part of FMC Energy Systems – a quarter of a century later – introduced one

innovation after another as it committed its resources to designing and manufacturing superior wellhead

systems for a growing roster of customers. It’s been that way ever since.

O V E R V I E W

FMC Energy Systems and its predecessor,

O-C-T, have a long history of technological

innovations – from the 5K wellhead in the

1930s to the first multiple-completion systems

of the 1940s to the first Unihead™ thru-bore

system – and in subsequent decades, the

introduction of multiple-completion systems,

automatic casing hangers, Unitree™, industry-

standard C22/29 casing heads, Speed Loc™

clamps, subsea technology and the first

TLP/SPAR systems.

Higher pressures, well-treatmentchemicals, hotter production andlonger frac times accelerate the wearand tear on seals, reducing useful life. And if one seal in a wellhead fails,it can blow the budget with lostproduction and workover time.

➤ Elastomer Seals Conventional O-ring elastomer sealsno longer meet the industry’s stringentdesign and safety criteria. FMC SurfaceWellhead has developed seals thatcompensate for thermal expansionand contraction, and the larger APIcasing and tubing tolerances thatcreate increasingly difficult sealingconditions. At the same time, we’vedeveloped proprietary new elastomerssuited to the design parameters of the new FMC Surface Wellhead seals,providing the best combination ofmechanical properties and chemicalresistance. We design and manufac-ture our elastomer seals.

➤ Metal-to-Metal SealsOur oilfield customers look to metalseals as cost-effective technology forextending service life and improvingproduction efficiency. In general, metalseals last longer and provide morereliable service, especially in criticalapplications. FMC Surface Wellhead’spatented “bump” metal seal isregarded as the technological break-through in metal seals for wellheads.We manufacture both self-energized,straight-bore, metal seals andexternally energized seals.

F M C K O N G S B E R G S U B S E A : SHARED TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES

FMC Surface Wellhead was born on land and migrated to the sea. As FMC Energy Systems grew and expanded, the

organization was restructured to concentrate like technologies and services into nine highly specialized operating units, includ-

ing FMC Surface Wellhead. Our sister enterprise, FMC Kongsberg Subsea, which is number one in its global market, grew

partly out of the original FMC/OCT wellhead technological group.

Today, FMC Surface Wellhead and other FMC Energy Systems operations and their customers benefit from the technology

advances developed by FMC’s Energy Systems subsea unit, developing drilling and completion systems for seabed wells,

the most hostile of environments for oil and gas production. A notable example, our C22-EG Casing Spool. Its bowl protector

retaining subsea technology doesn’t need costly lockdown screws, increasing safety by eliminating the need to work under

BOP and potential leak path.

Our company is proud to be recognized for its history of technological innovation and its reputa-

tion for custom-engineered drilling and completion wellhead systems. But that’s only a narrow slice

of what FMC Surface Wellhead offers:

8

In 75 years of listening to your industry, ourcompany has developed a broad spectrumof wellhead drilling and completion com-ponents, systems and services. Our C-22casing head components, for example,introduced in 1962, quickly became theindustry standard for this class of productand remain in high regard among companymen, drilling engineers and crews, evenas we continue to improve and enhancethis outstanding line.

For our customers, this broad rangeof solutions translates into the convenienceof relying on a single source – FMCSurface Wellhead – to supply you withexactly what you need for your applica-tion, no matter what it is, where it is, howroutine or how challenging.

For many wells, a standard flangedAPI wellhead rated at 2,000 psi is thebest choice for the budget and riskparameters. For deep critical-service

wells, reliability is the driver: a custom-engineered project approach may be thebest solution. As location, depth, pres-sures, number of completions per welland other factors complicate the scope,hazards and degree of difficulty of a project, FMC Surface Wellhead is therewith a solution that optimizes performanceand minimizes your total well cost.

Lowest Incident Rate: Safety Is Fundamental to FMC’s Energy Systems Culture

Nothing wastes your investment more than rig downtime from failures in equipment and safety practices. We are proud that our

safety record outperforms the industry. The stats back this statement: FMC Energy Systems’ Houston facility, for example, logged

7.4 million man-hours without a lost-time incident.

FMC Technologies accepts the responsibility to protect the environment and the health and safety of our employees, their

families and the public. Health, safety and environment (HSE) performance is a core value and will be managed as an integral

part of our business to benefit employees, neighbors and shareholders. All FMC Energy Systems employees are responsible for

assuring that we achieve continuous and measurable improvement.

With safety as a top-down, bottom-up responsibility – and with results tied to management and employee performance

appraisals – our formal HSE safety program identifies and rewards behaviors that improve safety practices.

FMC Surface Wellhead conducts ongoing safety training programs with daily, weekly and monthly service safety meetings. We

also require formal job-safety analyses (JSAs) for all service jobs. The JSA gives our service technicians a convenient procedure for

reviewing the job with the rig crew, heightens the awareness of safety risks, and focuses on using the right tools for the job.

Equipment Costs Do Matter

FMC Surface Wellhead understands that the cost of your wellhead system is part of your purchasing criteria. We also understand

that the best way to reduce your cost is to use the right equipment for your application. The only thing more expensive than a

feature you don’t need is a system that does not meet your requirements.

For more than seven decades, our company has demonstrated the ability to supply worldwide to the oil industry with wellhead

systems that have matched the applications requirements. We know about wellhead equipment, and we know about delivering it

around the world. Those make us feel comfortable offering you to reduce your cost by working together in the specification of your

requirements.

Designed to Save Time, requires onlyone major Nipple-Up of the BOP The OBS surface equipment used withSD-1 mudline system has been designedto save time in assembly and disassem-bly of this unique drilling tool. The majortime savings occur when the well isbeing abandoned. Access to the hangerand packoff/support bushing can beachieved by nippling down the connec-tion at the casing head and lifting theOBS system as a single unit.

The OBS surface wellhead hasthree functions:➤ To suspend casing risers at the rig➤ To provide for annulus packoff seals

between casing risers➤ To support the BOP stack

When the OBS system is beinginstalled, all of the wellhead spools canbe installed as a single unit with the BOPstack on top after installation of thecasing head and lowermost packoff/support bushing. All subsequent casing

hangers and multifunction packoff/supportbushings can be installed without nipplingdown the BOP stack or inserting addi-tional casing spools.

In the system shown, additional timesavings are achieved through the use ofSpeedloc II connections on the spools.These connections allow easy and quickaccess to install hangers and packoff/support bushings. OBS surface equipmentis furnished with clamp connections for21 1/4˝ 2K, 13 5/8˝ 5K and 13 5/8˝ 10K.

T i m e - S a v i n g S o l u t i o n s Since our days as O-C-T, we’ve led the industry in solutions that save rig time and enhance the safety of your operation. Both

those aspects were taken into account when we developed our Diverter Attachment wellhead product offering.

One of the inherent dangers of the industry is working under the Diverter/BOP stack when it is being installed or

removed. The features we have incorporated in our Diverter Attachment Assemblies greatly minimize the amount of time one

is required to spend on the wellhead deck during these operations.

Time savings were also a strong consideration taken into account during the development of our Diverter Attachment

assemblies. Depending on which design best fits your application, we have incorporated such features as no requirement

to wait on cement to set, elimination of “hot work,” ability to land multiple casing strings without nippling down and the

speed associated with the installation and removal of the Slip Loc and Speedloc® quick connections. Depending on which

design is selected, the operator could achieve between 6 and 36 hours of rig time-savings.

Sl ip Loc Bottom with 2-Step Wel lhead for Attaching to the Diverter Assembly:

Descr ipt ionThe diverter wellhead assembly attaches to the conductor pipe by the use of thetime-saving Slip Loc connection. The wellhead is provided with two load shouldersthat allow the operator to land and pack off both conductor and surface casing with-out ever needing to nipple down.

Features and Benef i ts◆ The wellhead bottom is equipped with a Slip Loc connection and the top with

a Speedloc® connection. Both these connections save considerable rig time dur-ing installation.

◆ Seals the well bore while drilling out for conductor and surface casing.◆ If used in conjunction with a mechanical casing cutter, this design eliminates

the need for welding; thus there are no longer the dangers associated with“hot work.” Further, adjacent wells do not have to be shut in during installation.

◆ The conductor casing string is landed, packed off and tested prior to cementing.If it is desired that returns be taken across the shale shaker, a flow loop can beinstalled during the cementing operation.

◆ The surface casing is landed on the upper load shoulder with a fluted hanger for flow by. Once cementing operations are complete, the pack off is run, lockedin place and tested prior to nippling down.

Description: Slip-type casing hangers provide a method to transfer the weight or tension load

of a casing string to a casing head or spool. Slip-type hangers are available in automatic-sealing

and nonautomatic-sealing varieties. Automatic hangers have seals which are energized by

casing weight, while nonautomatic hangers have seals which require means other than casing

weight to be energized. Nonautomatic hangers are typically used when insufficient casing load

is available or when cementing back to the surface.

Description: To reduce installation time and wellhead equipment size, FMC Surface Wellhead

uses clamp devices in place of flange connections for wellheads. The Speedloc® Clamp consists

of a series of segments which are mechanically isolated from one another, permitting each seg-

ment to act as an independent clamp. These clamp segments pull the integral mating hubs

together as the nuts are tightened. The contact surface between the segments and the hubs acts

as a ramp to maximize vertical clamping force.


C l a m p s

FMC Surface Wellhead’s integral Speedloc Clamps can be pre-installed on wellheads, BOPs andother drill-thru components with no rig assembly time required. One person can make up all sizesof Speedloc Clamps in less than 10 minutes. The increased strength and reliability of SpeedlocSegmented Clamps over two-piece clamps help ensure safety in the field by greatly reducing therisk of a failure. Other factors inherent in the design of the Speedloc Clamp that help maximizepersonnel and rig safety include the elimination of special tools, handling devices and loose parts,minimizing time and exposure of service personnel in the area of the wellhead.

FMC Surface Wellhead currently offers two versions of the Speedloc design:

Speedloc I: Proven worldwide, Speedloc® Clamps are available in nominal sizes from 7 1/16 to 21 1/4 inchesfor standard and sour-gas services to 20,000 psi. They provide distinct mechanical and operationaladvantages over alternative connectors, and are ideal for high-temperature applications.

Straight-bore metal seal

Speedloc-I Segmented Clamps use FMC Surface Wellhead’s patented straight-bore metal seal(SBMS) rather than the standard API seal (R, RX or BX) found in other wellhead connectors. The SBMS seal is preloaded radially during assembly as the clamp segments pull the mating hubstogether. Therefore, the Speedloc Clamp does not require further vertical preload to generate a seal. Sealing integrity is maintained by radial compression of the seal against the machine surfaces of the seal pocket. Fluctuations in vertical end loads and externally applied bendingmoments do not affect the function of the seal.

Speedloc-I Clamps provide high bending moment and shear-resistance capacities, far exceed-ing conventional two-piece clamps in strength. Under well pressure conditions, the total load isdistributed equally between the Speedloc-I Clamp’s studs, with only moderate torque required forfull stud preload. The loss of a single Speedloc-I Clamp stud results in only 8.3% drop in clamppreload, therefore maintaining 91.7% of the installed connector’s preload. In contrast, if one studfails on a two-piece clamp, failure of the entire clamp could occur.

Speedloc II: Proven worldwide, Speedloc-II Clamps are available in sizes from 7 1/16 to 21 1/4 inches for stan-dard or sour-gas services to 20,000 psi, 0oF to 250oF, providing mechanical and operational advan-tages over other connectors.

Superior “clamping” by design

The Speedloc-II Clamp consists of a series of segments which are mechanically isolated from oneanother, permitting each segment to act as an independent clamp. The Speedloc II uses a travelnut with a retainer bolt to secure the segments onto the hub. When the travel nuts are beingloosened, the retainer bolts keep the nuts and segments together, causing the nuts to positivelyretract the segments. The Speedloc-II nut threads are coated to provide a lower coefficient of friction, reducing make-up torque and dramatically increasing thread life. The result: you getenhanced clamping and higher end load capacities in a compact, preassembled design withsignificant safety advantages.

Mates with conventional clamp hubs

FMC Surface Wellhead’s Speedloc-II Clamps mate to conventional clamp hubs using API RX or BXring gaskets. The design allows for interface between FMC Surface Wellhead and existing conven-tional clamp hub equipment. The Speedloc II can also be provided with FMC Surface Wellhead’sstraight-bore metal seal (SBMS) for special applications.

Speedloc-II Clamps maximize strength by distributing total load equally between the clamp’s studs, with only moderate torque required for full preload. Speedloc-II Clamps typically have 12 or16 studs, depending on the size, versus two or four studs in conventional clamps. As a result, the Speedloc II’s studs are smaller in diameter for the same load-bearing capacity, and requiresignificantly less torque for installation.

While no two completion situations and conditions are quite the same, in general, reservoir char-

acteristics and well fluid analyses drive the design of a surface control system — whether a basic

system or the most challenging completions for critical service.

Your FMC Surface Wellhead sales/technical representative adds value by recommending the

right completion equipment for your unique situation. In this process, we consider the economics

of your well, the performance/risk factors of your application and the support services available for

your well locations.

To introduce our catalog of completion solutions components and systems, the following exam-

ples illustrate a progression of completion models from basic to critical service.

◆ Streamlined, versatile system is based on a single, straight-bore tubing head design for

maximum utilization of components.

◆ Standard components for conventional tubing completions, including single and multiple

strings and completions with submersible pumps or surface-controlled subsurface

safety valves, are included.

◆ Simple completion procedures keep well pressure under control at all times. All hangers can

be run through BOPs, allowing well to be secured before BOPs are removed.

◆ System includes the easiest-to-run dual split hanger in the industry.

◆ Working pressure ratings are from 2,000 to 20,000 psi.

◆ Material options for H2S/CO2, fire-resistant and low-temperature service are included.

Description: The tubing head is the top spool on a surface wellhead assembly. It is installed

after the last casing string to provide a load shoulder to support the tubing string and a seal bore

for the tubing hanger or production casing/tubing annulus seal. When the well is completed, the

tree is installed on top of the tubing head with a tubing head adapter.


T u b i n g H e a d s

Funct ions◆ Provide a load shoulder inside the head to support tubing hangers and packoffs.◆ Provide a controlled bore against which the hanger or packoff can seal.◆ Provide for a secondary annulus seal around the top of the previous casing string. (See

Bottom-Bowl Packoffs in this section.)◆ Provide access to the annulus between the tubing string and the production casing.◆ Provide a means to support and test BOPs while completing the well.

TC-Series Tubing HeadsFMC TC-Series tubing heads have a straight-bore profile which is compatible with all FMC single-

and multiple-string tubing hangers and packoffs. These heads are available in four basic styles; the

only functional difference between the styles is the number and type of aligning pins, which are

used to align multiple-string or specialty tubing hangers.

Features◆ Has a straight-bore design compatible with all TC-Series tubing hangers.◆ All TC-Series tubing heads with a 9-inch or larger top flange also accept the FMC C-29 casing

hanger for casing completions.◆ Valve removal (VR) threads are standard on all flanged or studded outlets.

Benef i ts◆ “Wedge locking” of bowl protector, BOP test plugs and tubing hangers is eliminated.◆ Seal bore is less likely to be damaged during drilling.◆ Straight bore is more economical to recondition after abandonment.

TCM-ET

TCM-ETThe TCM-ET tubing head has no aligning pins. It is compatible only with single-string TC-Series

tubing hangers and packoffs. The TCM can be upgraded to a TC-60-ET or TC-ET head by adding

the necessary aligning pins at an FMC Energy Systems facility.

TC-ETThe TC-ET tubing head has one aligning pin and accepts all TC-Series tubing hangers and packoffs

except the TC-60 dual-split hanger. It can be upgraded to a TC-60-ET by adding two aligning pins

at an FMC Energy Systems facility.

TC-60-ETThe TC-60-ET is the most versatile tubing head in the oilfield. It has three aligning pins and is

compatible with all TC-Series tubing hangers and packoffs, including the TC-60 dual-split hanger.

When last-minute completion changes are possible, the T-60-ET is a good investment because

no shop modification is needed to adapt it to any type of tubing completion.

TC-WD-ETThe TC-WD-ET tubing head has an internal wedge that is used for alignment on specific TC-Series

tubing hangers. This particular design allows for alignment of multiple-string tubing hangers without

external manipulation methods. TC-WD-ET tubing hangers are generally considered specific to

particular customers’ requirements and can be run only in the TC-WD-ET tubing head. FMC hangers

that normally are aligned with pins (TC or TC-60 type) will not function in the TC-WD-ET head.

Al ternat ive Tubing Head Conf igurat ionsBottom ConnectionsBolt-through flange, studded flange and clamp-hub connections are available. The type and pressurerating used must match the top flange of the previous casing spool or crossover flange. Bolt-throughflange connections are the most popular and economical type of connection in certain parts of theworld. Clamp-hub connections are sometimes specified, because they are much faster to make upand because they reduce the diameter and weight of the assembly when space limitations are present.

Top ConnectionsFMC Surface Wellhead tubing heads have either bolt-through flange or clamp-hub top connections,which are compatible with all FMC tubing head adapters. The producing pressure of the well normally determines the pressure rating of the top connection.

Lockdown ScrewsMost FMC Surface Wellhead Series tubing heads have a series of lockdown screws in the top flange(unless customer or application requires otherwise). These lockdown screws have three functions:◆ to actuate compression-type hanger or packoff seals◆ to lock down the hanger or packoff to prevent movement caused by thermal expansion of the

tubing string during production◆ to lock down the hanger in the event of annulus pressure

NOTES:

◆ Where customer preferences or applications do not allow the use of lockdown screws, internallylocking mechanisms are utilized. See section on Completion Solutions.

Bottom-Bowl Packoffs (secondary seals)Tubing head bottom-bowl packoffs are used to seal around the production casing stub in the bottombowl of the tubing head. They are often referred to as “secondary seals.” The various packoff typesare described below:

Double FS SealsThis design consists of two elastomeric-shaped seals located in grooves in the bottom of the tubinghead. A seal is achieved by interference of the seal with the outside diameter of the casing and the bottom or OD of its retaining groove. A spring molded in each inside corner of the seal provides an anti-extrusion mechanism when sealing against pressure by bridging the gap between the tubingoutside diameter and casing head seal bore. The shape of the seal allows it flexibility to maintainsealing interference with the large variations in tubing outside diameter.

PI SealsThese seals consist of a T-cap seal element, nonextrusion rings and a receiver ring. These componentswill fit the HPE bottom prep configuration. The PI seal is designed for use up to 15,000 psi workingpressure and temperatures up to 75oF or as low as -50oF, depending on the elastomer selected. It provides the proper compression and squeeze even with the larger API casing tolerances. Thedesign effectively intensifies the annulus pressure and thus the internal stress in the elastomer tominimize the effects of explosive decompression.

SBMS-II SealsThis metal-to-metal seal consists of a “U”-shaped ring with a “bump” sealing surface at the outsideand inside legs of the “U.” When installed, the entry ramp compresses the legs of the “U” inwardand creates contact stress in each “bump” that provides the seal. This seal requires the casingstub OD to be field machined after the casing is hung to provide the proper sealing tolerances andsurface finish. This is accomplished with a portable pneumatic-driven tool. It is good for tempera-tures ranging from -75oF to 1200oF.

RCMS SealsThe Rough Casing Metal Seal (RCMS) is designed to use up to 20,000 psi. This seal does notrequire special machining of the casing stub; is compatible with temperatures from -20oF to 350oFin corrosive environments; does not require special installation tools and is simple to install; isNACE compatible; is compatible with casing spool and tubing spool strength; is compatible withcasing string strength properties.

NOTES:◆ TC-Series packoffs are usually installed in the tubing head prior to shipment. FMC tubing heads are also

available with threaded bottom preparations in some sizes and pressure ratings.

Available to meet all appropriate API-6A requirements.

Description: The tubing head adapter provides a transition between the Christmas tree and the

tubing head. The bottom adapter connection matches the tubing head, and the top adapter con-

nection matches the tree. Tubing head adapters are available for all types of single- and multi-

ple-string completions, including those using electric submersible pumps, packers, downhole

control valves and gas lift valves. These adapters come with threaded, flanged or studded-flanged

top connections. Most tubing head adapters are available with hydraulic supply inlets for down-

hole control lines. If the customer requires, FMC Surface Wellhead also supplies various types

of adapters that will accommodate continuous control-line capabilities. Following you will find

the most generally used.


T u b i n g H e a d A d a p t e r s

Basic Adapters A4 Dual-Seal Bore AdaptersA-4-D

Single-Seal Bore AdapterA4

Basic AdaptersThey provide only a transition between the tubing head and the tree. These adapters do not hang

the tubing or provide a controlled seal bore. Basic tubing head adapters have a smooth seal bore

and are used when tubing is suspended from the tubing hanger. They are designed for low-pres-

sure completions where downhole line or tubing strings manipulation are not required. The basic

adapter is normally installed with the tree after tubing is run.

Features and Benef i ts◆ Simple transition piece between the tubing head and the tree◆ Used with a TC-1A tubing hanger◆ Available with threaded, flanged or studded top connection

Seal Bore AdaptersSeal bore adapters have the inside diameter machined to provide a controlled seal bore for an

extended-neck tubing hanger or a seal nipple. They are available with a test port and/or a hydraulic

supply inlet for downhole control lines. Like basic adapters, they are normally installed with the tree.

Features and Benef i ts◆ Provides a seal bore for the TC-1A-ENS extended neck (Single-Seal Bore)◆ Provides seal bores for the seal nipples on dual-completion tubing hangers (Dual-Seal Bore)◆ Available with SCSSV control line inlets◆ Studded top connection only

ESP AdaptersESP adapters have seal bores to accommodate both a tubing hanger neck seal and an electrical

power feed-thru device. Standard ESP adapters are equipped with rotating flanges to mate to the

tubing head, minimizing concerns over alignment issues. Positive alignment can be obtained

through the use of optional features in the mating ESP hanger. ESP adapters can be supplied to

match standard tubing heads rated to 3,000 and 5,000 psi working pressure.

ESP Adapter

26FMC5(pg42-53)_26.6.04 6/26/04 11:17 AM Page 9

49

Features and Benef i ts◆ Provides sealing bore for a variety of electrical feed-thru configurations, including penetrators,

cable packoffs and continuous feed-thru penetrator mandrels.◆ Provides reliable seal bores for tubing hanger neck or seal sleeves.◆ Provides rotating attachment flange for ease of alignment to ESP hanger and tubing head flange.

Tubing Suspension AdaptersThese adapters provide a means to hang the tubing via tubing threads machined in the lower-con-

nection inside diameter. The tubing threads can be used to suspend tubing when an operator wants

to reciprocate tubing, but does not require a back-pressure valve in the tubing hanger. These

adapters do not provide a seal. They are normally used on low-pressure completions with a wrap-

around packoff or stripper.

Features and Benef i ts◆ For use with the TC-1W, these adapters have tubing threads to suspend the tubing string◆ Available top connections are male thread, female thread or studded.

Coupling AdaptersCoupling adapters provide a means to suspend the tubing in conjunction with a special coupling.

They provide a lower connection for the tubing head and an upper connection for the tree and are

used with a tubing coupling, which suspends the tubing and accepts a back-pressure valve. It is

used for high-pressure completions where the operator wants to manipulate tubing through a

wraparound packoff or stripper and needs a back-pressure valve and/or a hydraulic supply inlet for

downhole control lines. An ACME thread is machined into the adapter’s bottom inside diameter to

be utilized in conjunction with the coupling to hang the tubing. Then it can be screwed onto the

coupling. When a tree is trimmed for critical service, a coupling adapter with a coupling nut is

available to prevent possible galling of threads between the adapter and coupling on makeup.

FMC Surface Wellhead TC-Series tubing hangers are available for any type of single- or multiple-string tubing completion, including those requiring packers, subsurface safety valves, gas-liftvalves and electric submersible pumps. All FMC Surface Wellhead hangers can be run through theblowout preventers, allowing the well to be secured before the preventers are removed.

Most TC-Series tubing hangers accept a back-pressure valve, which seals the tubing bore.These BPV profiles may be of FMC Surface Wellhead design or they may be of another manufac-turer’s design, depending upon the customer’s requirements. Some hangers are ported forhydraulic control lines, downhole safety valves or other equipment as required by the customer.

Single-St r ing Tubing HangersMost TC-Series single-string hangers do not require aligning pins and are compatible with any TC-

Series tubing head. Generally speaking, alignment pins will not be required unless there is a need

to orient a hanger a particular way. An example of this might be when an additional line is being

run with the tubing string and needs to be ported through a particular position in the tubing spool.

Description: Tubing hangers are installed in the top bowl of a tubing head. Tubing hangers both

suspend tubing and provide a primary annulus seal between the tubing and production casing.

Hangers are run through the blowout preventers and are landed in the top bowl of the tubing

head. Tubing hangers are available for any type of tubing completion. Tubing hangers also act as

a means to access and manipulate additional smaller tubing lines that are utilized downhole and

extended to the surface on the outside of the tubing string or strings. Packoffs allow tubing

string manipulation for setting packers or displacing fluid while sealing the annulus between the

tubing and the production casing.


T u b i n g H a n g e r s

TC-1AThe TC-1A is a threaded tubing hanger with an integral compression-type annulus seal that is

actuated by string weight and or by lockdown screws. This hanger is also known as a threaded

mandrel-type hanger and is considered one of the most basic and least expensive hangers in FMC

Surface Wellhead’s TC product line.

TC-1WThe TC-1W is a split, wraparound packoff that allows tubing-string manipulation to displace fluid

while maintaining complete control of annular pressure. Like all TC-Series packoffs, tubing string

weight must be suspended from a tubing suspension adapter or coupling adapter. The TC-1W has a

compression-type seal which is actuated by lockdown screws.

TC-1A TC-1W

26FMC5(pg42-53)_26.6.04 6/26/04 11:17 AM Page 11

51

Features and Benef i ts◆ Used where downhole control lines or tubing manipulation are not required.◆ Fits all TC-Series tubing heads.◆ Interference-type annulus seals instead of compression-type seals for 5,000 psi working

pressures or below.◆ Back-pressure-valve preparation for “ISA” (unless otherwise specified).

TC-1A-EN TC-1A-ENS TC-1A-EMSW/XEMS

TC-1A-ENThreaded hanger with an extended neck with interference-type seals that provide a secondary

annulus seal to isolate flange and ring gasket from well pressure and fluids.

◆ Accepts control lines and injection tubing.

◆ Either interference-type seal rings or compression-type packoff (actuated by lockdown screws).

◆ Accepts FMC back-pressure valve and tree test plug.

TC-1A-ENSThe TC-1A-ENS is a threaded mandrel-type tubing hanger with an extended neck. This hanger

utilizes “S”-type seals on its neck that are used to seal inside the tubing head adapter that will be

installed directly above the hanger upon completion of the well. Additionally, this hanger is provided

with compression-type seals on the body that generally incorporate wire mesh-type non-extrusion

devices above and below the seal. Lockdown screws are used.

Features and Benef i ts◆ Extended-seal neck with interference-type seals isolates the tubing head/adapter connection

from well pressure and provides for control-line porting if required.◆ FMC Surface Wellhead “ISA” back-pressure valve preparation is standard.◆ Interference-type annulus seals instead of compression-type for 5,000 psi working pressure

or below.◆ Has porting for SCSSV control lines, chemical injection, etc.

TC-1A-EMS W/XEMSThe TC-1A-EMS is a threaded mandrel-type tubing hanger with an Externally Energized Metal

(XEMS) annular seal energized with lockdown screws. The extended neck of the tubing hanger

assembly is sealed at the top by the FMC Straight-Bore Metal Seal (SBMS), completing the full

metal seal capability. This hanger is available with an external ACME landing thread or with

internal landing thread.

Features and Benef i ts ◆ Available with external Acme landing thread or internal landing thread.◆ Continuous SCSSV control and/or inhibitor line; eliminates interruptions in the line and requires

neither elastomer seals nor hanger orientation.◆ Provides back-pressure valve preparation for FMC “ISA.” ◆ Has elastomer annular seal.

BO-2 CouplingA BO-2 coupling-type tubing hanger uses a one-piece coupling that is externally threaded with a

coarse heavy-duty ACME thread. Internally the coupling will provide tubing threads in the top and

bottom along with a back-pressure valve groove. The BO-2 coupling is attached to the last tubing

joint and is run in conjunction with a TC-1W wraparound-type packoff. Ultimately, the BO-2 cou-

pling is made up into a BO-2 adapter that is assembled on the bottom of the Christmas tree.

Features and Benef i ts◆ Threaded coupling is used in conjunction with the BO-2 tubing head adapter for high-pressure

completions requiring both string manipulation with BOP protection and SCSSV control lines.◆ Requires a TC-1W wraparound annulus seal.◆ FMC Surface Wellhead “ISA” back-pressure valve preparation is standard.

BO-10 CouplingThe BO-10 coupling-type tubing hanger is generally utilized on completions demanding higher

completion shut-in pressures. This hanger is a coupling by design but also incorporates a separate

rotating, ACME-threaded locking nut. This design is also attached to the last tubing joint, and is

run in conjunction with a TC-1W wraparound-type packoff. Ultimately, the BO-10 coupling is made

up into a BO-10 adapter that is assembled on the bottom of the Christmas tree.

Features and Benef i ts◆ Coupling nut allows the BO-10 coupling to be installed without rotation of the tree, making it

the choice for heavy trees or where dissimilar metals could cause galling problems.◆ Requires a TC-1W for annulus seal.

TC ESPThe TC ESP hanger is dual-ported, with one port designed to accept a single production tubing

string. The second port is designed to accommodate the electrical conductors that pass the cur-

rent between the surface cable and the subsurface cable that goes to the pump.

The TC ESP hanger is designed for 7 1/16"- 3,000/5,000 and 11"- 3,000/5,000 flange sizes. We

standardized on EUE thread configurations. Nevertheless, additional thread profiles and different

configurations can be supplied. While configurations and designs may differ with customer require-

ments, the basic design concepts stay the same.

Features and Benef i ts◆ Has redundant “B” Type “S” seals on the body of the hanger.◆ No alignment groove. It has an attachable alignment plate on the bottom of the hanger when

alignment is required.◆ No threads for penetrator makeup. Penetrator will be equipped with a “jam” nut on the bottom

of the penetrator to hold in the hanger body.

Benef i ts◆ Can easily convert an existing flowing well to an ESP without the need to change out the tubing

head. Can utilize a TCM-type tubing head.◆ Can convert a finished hanger with a QCI penetrator profile to accept a BIW penetrator.

BO-2 Coupling BO-10 Coupling TC-B-EC

◆ Penetrator does not require rotation for makeup. Eliminates the potential of seal or thread damage when rotation of penetrator is necessary.

Multiple-String Tubing Hangers and Packoffs TC-Series multiple-string hangers and packoffs permit the independent suspension and sealing of

multiple-tubing strings, allowing simultaneous production or injection to or from separate zones.

They require one or two aligning pins in the tubing head bowl and are compatible with either TC or

TC-60 tubing heads. The TC-60 split-type hanger may be run only in the TC-60 tubing head.

TC-60 Dual-Split Hanger TC-2C

TC-60 Dual-Split HangerThe TC dual-split hanger is an easy-to-run split hanger with an integral compression-type packoff. The

packoff seal is actuated by lockdown screws before the blowout preventers are removed. No plastic injec-

tion is required. With the TC-60 dual-split hanger, tubing strings can be run and pulled independently,

allowing maximum clearance for gas-lift or subsurface safety valves. Each segment accepts a back-pres-

sure valve and is available with control-line preparations for surface-controlled subsurface safety valves.

Features◆ Allows tubing string to be run and pulled independently.◆ Provides for maximum clearance for gas-lift valves, SCSSV and packers.◆ FMC Surface Wellhead “ISA” back-pressure-valve preparation in each hanger half is standard.◆ Tubing head must have the dual TC-60 aligning pins.

TC-2C Dual Completion◆ Has threaded, coupling-type multi string hanger.

◆ Allows tubing strings to be run separately or simultaneously; tubing can be rotated to

manipulate packers.

◆ Each accepts a back-pressure valve.

◆ Annulus and sleeve seals are interference-type.

◆ Tubing head must have the single aligning pin.

Hydraulic Control-Line PreparationThe TC-1A-EN tubing hanger and the TC-60 dual-split-type tubing hangers are available with hydraulic control

line ports for surface-controlled subsurface safety valves or injection tubing. The TC-1W packoff and the BO-

2 adapter/coupling with concentric tubing joint can also accommodate a subsurface safety valve.Control-line

ports may be either threaded with seal sleeves or continuous, depending upon customer requirements.

E S P S y s t e m

K o m e ( C h a d )A major oil company faced a substantial logistical challenge when it developed an oil-field in a region of Africa with no established oilfield infrastructure and remote from existing shipping channels. This operator wanted the most reliable enhanced-recovery surface wellhead technology on the market for the venture and looked toFMC Energy Systems to provide it. Our company has years of experience throughoutAfrica and knew the most reliable choice of technology the customer would require inChad. We recommended a field-proven ESP system, including our industry-standardModel 120 gate valves, HNBR FMC-molded S & FS elastomer seals, and FMC C22 casing head, another industry standard. Each of these componentshas delivered at least 15 years’ outstanding field performance.

F e a t u r e s a n d B e n e f i t s◆ Vertical producer well◆ Industry-standard FMC C-22 casing head (40 years of field experience)◆ FMC Model 120 gate valves, 5,000/3,000 psi, Trim AA (20 years’ field experience)◆ FMC S and FS HNBR interference elastomer seals (15 years’ field experience)◆ FMC spool tubing type electro-sub and FMC ESP hanger and adapter solutions

(30+ years’ field experience)◆ Allow rapid deployment, suspension and retrieval using standard BOPs,

completion procedures and hoisting equipment◆ Meet all international electric codes and certifications required◆ Certified to API6A, Appendix F, PR-2 plus additional cycle testing

F H S y s t e m

A l b e r t a ( C a n a d a )There are moments when the challenge is not the environment, the pressure orthe reliability. Shallow, marginal low-pressure well production dictates a very tightbudget. The oil company then needs to maximize its use of customer propertyand to utilize the adequate technology to match its application. There is not extracash for any luxury beyond the basic requirements. At FMC Surface Wellhead welistened to market situations and decided to develop our FH line with tapered bowland exclusive elastomer seal design to stay “on budget.”

F e a t u r e s a n d B e n e f i t s◆ Tapered configuration matching the market needs◆ Elastomeric seal ◆ Low pressure◆ Material Trim AA◆ Pressures up to 2,000 psi◆ Temperature –50oF to 250oF

R o c k y M o u n t a i n s ( U n i t e d S t a t e s )Our customer’s infield drilling program needed to minimize his rig time for multipleshallow wells (with surface casing pressures less than 5,000 psi) and to improve safety. FMC Surface Wellhead’s solution was the DTO ® wellhead, which deliverssignificant time savings by eliminating a number of steps in the traditional drillingprocess and reducing time required for other steps. The ideal situation for using the DTO would be a single rig that’s drilling multiple consecutive wells by using a common casing program. Each rig is outfitted with a DTO diverter connectorfabricated into a diverter riser. The assembly stays with the rig for the drilling project, and it is used on each well. A DTO drilling spool connector is assembledinto the rig BOP and is moved with the rig from well to well.

F e a t u r e s a n d B e n e f i t s◆ Eliminates steps in the drilling process.◆ Offers time savings during nipple up/down of the BOP’s stack, landing casing

hanger and installing the tubing head.◆ Increases safety by eliminating the need for cutting torches and

hammer wrenches.◆ Locking ring design on drilling spool provides 360 degrees engagement to

increase load capacity and reduce fatigue.◆ Contingency systems for stuck pipe retains system benefits and time

savings.◆ Tests production casing seals prior to removal of BOP.◆ Load capacity of surface casing hanger exceeds joint strength.

F a s t D r i l l i n g S y s t e m

O h a n e t ( A l g e r i a )The customer’s priorities were: reducing rig downtime, simplicity of wellheadinstallation and contingency procedures in place. These parameters and morewere met by FMC Energy Systems. For more than 10 years, we’ve suppliedthis customer with our proprietary simple but rugged Unihead® thru-bore solu-tion. This system is designed to be installed as a single piece, which results insignificant time savings during drilling by eliminating the need to nipple downand up BOP stacks. The casing is easy to access in the event pipe is stuckdownhole, a feature that eliminates the need for complex casing cutters. Thesystem is so simple that, in the event of logistics problems, it can easily beinstalled by a competent drilling crew.

S a r a w a k ( M a l a y s i a )This major European-based oil company planned to develop a high-flow-rate, corrosivefield in Borneo. Not only does this company uphold the highest standards for safety ofcrew and environment, but it would be operating in a part of the globe that it had notpreviously explored. The company came to FMC Energy Systems for its reputation as aworldwide supplier familiar with the Far East and the challenges of working here, andknown for the high reliability of our wellhead systems. Energy Systems sales engineersrecommended technology appropriate to the highest standard required, a fully featuredsystem with metal-to-metal seals and Speedloc® connections. We knew this would bethe best cost-to-risk choice for the customer, who would not have to be concernedabout the equipment performance over the life of the field. They also felt such a systemwould be easier and safer to install and safer over the life of the wells, and that it wouldsave them rig time during installation.

F e a t u r e s a n d B e n e f i t s◆ Field-proven advanced technology ◆ Metal-to-metal seals◆ Internal latches◆ Minimum leak paths to the environment


N o r t h S e a ( N o r w a y ) When a major oil company planned to develop a North Sea field, it estimated a 30-year minimum lifetime for the field and projected future production with water cuts andgas penetration. The field would have 12 tie-back wells (predrilled wells from a semiprior to installing the platform) and was planned for production, gas-injection andwater-injection wells. Moreover, the field is regulated by strict API6A and NORSOKstandards. Needing reliable, flexible, cost-effective drilling and production solutions,this company came to FMC Energy Systems as we are the most experienced well-head supplier in the North Sea for both surface and subsea applications. Our engi-neers proposed a fully featured surface system using thru-bore technology, includingproven UWD 15 subsea technology, with the flexibility of switching from production toinjection without changing trees. FMC Energy Systems’ Norway operations allow thecustomer to carry smaller inventories of equipment and parts, short lead time andready access to engineers and technicians experienced in North Sea operations.

F e a t u r e s a n d B e n e f i t s◆ Thru-bore system with minimal installation time for risers and BOP. Installation

time reduced by implementing field-proven subsea UWD 15 casing hangers andpackoffs.

◆ Top-of-the-line materials and cladding assure equipment will last through the life ofthe well with minimum maintenance and lost production.

◆ Has metal-to-metal seals, UWD 15 technology.◆ Switch from production to injection without changing out trees.◆ By having the 18 3/4˝ casing landed in the starting head, the operator can easily

change out the 13˝, 9˝ and 7˝ tubing and Unihead® when the well needs slotrecovery, workover, etc.

◆ Wireshear actuator on master valve can shear 7/16th braided wire on the tree tosave time and money rigging wireline equipment.

C h i n a S e a ( C h i n a )This project in the China Sea’s Ya Cheng field, which supplies gas energy toHong Kong, presented the challenges of critical conditions: high corrosive,high temperature, fire resistant, severe weather, large-bore production, highreliability and a long life cycle to reduce the need for workovers. Our state-of-the-art “dry tree” system, the UWD-15, is an excellent example of our questto design highly reliable wellheads for difficult environments and conditionsand still contain costs. Developed out of our subsea wellhead technology, the UWD-15 is a 15,000 psi wellhead that combines advanced technology forhigh-pressure and hazardous-service environments. All seals are metal-to-metal, with the UWD-15 packoff providing the basis for annular sealing. Thispackoff does not rely on the tubing hanger weight to energize and can beremoved separately from the tubing hanger. It utilizes an SBMS seal at thetubing hanger neck as standard. The seat is recessed to help ensure thatthe seal contact surface is not damaged when the packoff is installed.The design includes a fire-safe envelope for the upper master valve to theannulus A.

F e a t u r e s a n d B e n e f i t s◆ The 15,000 psi wp UWD-15 Wellhead System minimizes leak path

to the environment.◆ Has a metal-to-metal seal, SBMS technology.◆ Includes internal latch.◆ Has major connections with Speedloc®.◆ Offers field-proven advanced technology.◆ Standard subsea tooling facilitates availability and learning processes.

G u l f o f C a m p e c h e ( M e x i c o )Injecting 1.2 million cubic feet of nitrogen per day into a formationthrough a 9˝ bore is a major challenge to face with traditional solu-tions. The limited available height and weight on the platform plusthe handling of a 9˝ Christmas tree during installation and workoverruled out a conventional production wellhead solution. Our engineerswho have platform working experience understood better than othersuppliers the operational challenge, and proposed the first horizontalwellhead tree system of its size in the Gulf of Mexico.

F e a t u r e s a n d B e n e f i t s◆ Full 9˝ bore system.◆ Allows workover without removing Christmas tree.◆ It has hydraulic or pneumatic valves.◆ Wire Mesh FMC Surface Wellhead seal technology.◆ Allows drilling through the tubing hanger.◆ Maximizes platform’s available surface.

J a v a S e a ( I n d o n e s i a )Fragmented reservoirs requiring multiple interventions are a major challengedue to the reduced space on platforms, especially when, as in this example,you need to complete (or abandon) wells and perform interventions withoutdisturbing adjacent wells. For such challenges, FMC Surface Wellheadhas developed a Side-By-Side (SXS) Wellhead System for optimization ofspace on new platforms or workovers on existing platforms. The SXS alsoaccommodates configurations involving a combination of single and dualcompletions inside a single conductor.

F e a t u r e s a n d B e n e f i t s◆ Allows installing either a 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 well configuration inside a single

conductor, sized from 26˝ OD onwards to suit requirements.◆ Eliminates the need for additional conductor pipe. This creates up-front

savings and reduces abandonment costs.◆ Allows the use of standard drill-bit sizes.◆ Independent Tubing Heads (Unihead ®) allow greatest flexibility in

choosing wells to complete or abandon and to perform independentintervention, entry and re-entry without disturbing adjacent wells or flowlines. The wellheads are installed with full BOP protection. This systempromotes time saving through batch drilling and drilling with reduced rig move time.

◆ Maximize platform size and the use of well slots on the platform. Forexisting wells, the SXS wellhead maximizes the use of existing spare well slots.

Series 100Valves

V a l v e s

Ser ies 100 Gate ValvesFMC Surface Wellhead’s Series 100 Gate Valves have successfully met customer demands for per-

formance, endurance and ease of maintenance since their introduction in 1984. Available in working

pressures from 2,000 to 20,000 psi, these metal-seal gate valves provide bubble-tight operation

throughout their rated pressure and temperature ranges. Sizes, configurations and materials are

available for virtually any application.

Model 100 Series Valves by far exceed the requirements of API 6A. Model 120, Model 125,

Model 130, Model 135, Model 160 and Model VLT have been qualified in excess of Appendix F for

material class AA to HH and temperature rating –75 to 400oF. An additional 300 endurance cycles

are applied to simulate 20 years of life expectancy.

Series 100 gate valves come in trims for a complete range of water, oil and gas services –

including corrosive, high-temperature, subsea, arctic, sand and steam.

A wellhead is as good as its valves, and FMC Surface Wellhead’s valves are as good as it gets.

FMC Surface Wellhead’s gate valves are the industry’s standards for strength, reliability and durability. Our

valves are designed and tested for a minimum 20-year life – everything you need in a valve. [ [Metal-to-Metal seal design FMC Surface Wellhead’s Series 100 gate valves use a

precision-machined floating slab gate and seat design that

provides a fully energized metal-to-metal seal between the

gate and seat surfaces at all times. A Belleville spring behind

each seat keeps the seat in contact with the gate to ensure

effective sealing at very low pressures. These fully symmetrical

valves effectively seal against flow in either direction.

Even though the seats “float” in their respective pockets, the

downstream seat still creates a metal-to-metal seal against the

body when the valve is closed. The back face of each seat has

FMC Surface Wellhead’s exclusive double-bump profile (right

figure). As the valve closes, line pressure forces the gate

against the downstream seat, which in turn is driven against

the back of the pocket, where the double bumps form a gas-tight,

metal-to-metal seal.

FMC Surface Wellhead’s patentedUV stem packing is unaffected byH2S, CO2, amines and chlorides.It seals bubble-tight at pressuresexeeding 20,000 psi at –75oF to400oF temperature range, elimi-nating explosive decompression.

Easy Maintenance and Repair

All components of FMC Surface Wellhead’s Series 100 valves are designed to last the life of the valve with a minimum of

maintenance. Lubrication of the stem bearings and occasional greasing of the valve are the only routine maintenance required.

Our R&D group developed a grease study with worldwide scope to improve gate valve performance in Surface and Subsea

business applications. As a result of the study, we only use approved greases.

FMC Surface Wellhead-approved greases have low torque and excellent washout resistance, and are hydrocarbon, H2S, and

CO2 resistant. Reference grease guideline G70310.

Key features to ensure reliability for the life of the valve are:

Metal-to-metal sealed bonnet assembly: Separate weather seals on the Series 100 valve bonnet assemblies isolate the stem, stem

bearings, packing nut and other internal components from external environment.

Heavy-duty stem bearings: Dual stem bearings support all axial loading on the stem. These low-friction, tapered roller bearings also help

reduce operating torque.

High-strength stem threads: Standard ACME threads offer high shear strength and high contact area for maximum endurance. A separate

gate-lift nut contains the mating threads instead of the gate itself. This flexible design permits optimum stem/lift nut material combinations and

allows the gate to float independently from the stem. In the unlikely event of thread damage, only the nut or stem needs to be replaced.

Stem shear pin: The stem is protected against accidental twist-off by the stem shear-pin. The pin can be quickly replaced without disassem-

bling the valve bonnet.

Close-fitting gate guides: Stainless-steel gate guides stay within a few thousands of an inch of the gate, acting as mud skirts to minimize

well fluids, sand and mud from entering the valve body as the gate opens and closes.

HP– PN Pneumatic Piston Actuator

FMC Surface Wellhead offers its own actuator product line that includes the HP–PN Pneumatic Piston, the HP–HYW Hydraulic Wire Shear Actuator

and the HP–HY Hydraulic Piston Actuator. This design has been proven worldwide in the field for more than 35 years.

Design Features of the FMC Surface Wel lhead Pneumatic and Hydraul ic Actuators:◆ The actuator is fail-safe/fail-close because it will close with the loss of control pressure, with or

without pressure in the valve body.◆ Heavy-duty coated spring package is designed to provide closing force at zero or low pressure.◆ Actuators are designed with back-seat capability.◆ Designed to accept our full range of accessories, i.e., stem protectors, fusible lockout caps, etc.◆ Quick-disconnect design and spring box design reduces time required during maintenance

operations.

75

Funct ions◆ Actuators are used on secondary master valve and/or wing valve of a Christmas tree, flow

lines, header valves, gathering lines and pipelines. ◆ As part of a surface safety system, the actuator will shut off flow from the well in the event of a

catastrophic event.◆ The HP-PN surface safety valve is a pneumatic-controlled actuator that is operated by an air or

gas source. ◆ Pneumatic pressure acting on the piston holds the valve open. Loss of pneumatic pressure in

the actuator’s cylinder allows the well or flowline pressure acting on the area of the lower stemto force the stem and gate closed.

◆ Pneumatic actuators can be used in both gas and oil wells. Care should be taken when usingpneumatic actuators on high-pressure and/or large-bore applications.

◆ One of the opening characteristics of a pneumatic actuator is that once sufficient force isgenerated to break the differential, the valve will instantaneously go from closed to full open.This causes a slam-open effect that can cause damage to gates and seats. This can potentiallydamage the actuator. The following are some methods to reduce this potential problem:o Reduce the differential pressure across the valve.o Reduce the volume of air in the cylinder.o Dampener mechanism.o Use of a hydraulic actuator is considered the best option.

Benef i ts◆ Loss of control pressure above the piston will cause the actuator to close the valve. ◆ In the event of a fire, the metal-to-metal seal between bonnet and lower stem acts as a

secondary seal if the stem packing is damaged.◆ Has a back-seat test port and packing leak detection port.◆ A relief valve on the cylinder prevents overpressurization.◆ Large piston area permits use of low-pressure air or gas control systems. ◆ Has a rising stem for visual indication.◆ Pneumatic cylinder and piston are electrolysis nickel plated for corrosion resistance, reducing

repair cost.◆ Upper stem packing is easily removed.

HP– HYW Hydraulic Wire Shear Actuator

Description: The Type HP-HYW Hydraulic Actuator is a ratio-piston-type actuator mounted on

a reverse-acting gate valve. The HP-HYW Hydraulic Wire Shear Actuator is designed to be fail-

safe and fail-close. The coiled multi-spring assembly provides the added shear force. When

installed as part of a safety system, it will automatically close with the loss of control pressure and will

open automatically when the control pressure is restored. The wire shear actuator becomes the primary

surface safety device during wireline operations. Should an emergency take place while the wireline tool

string is in the well, the wire shear actuator is designed to shear the wire and seal off the flow of the well.[ [

Funct ions◆ The actuators are used on the secondary master valve. They are the primary surface safety

device during a wireline operation.◆ As part of a surface safety system, the actuator will shear the wireline and seal off the flow

from the well in the event of a catastrophic event.◆ The HP-HYW surface safety valve is a hydraulically controlled actuator that is operated by a

closed hydraulic system completely independent of well fluids and pressure. ◆ Hydraulic pressure acting on the piston holds the valve open. Loss of hydraulic pressure in the

actuators cylinder allows the well or flowline pressure acting on the area of the lower stems toforce the stem and gate closed. The spring package is sized to cut a specific size of wireline.

Features◆ Coiled spring design provides cutting force.◆ Control line port can be rotated 360°.◆ Hydraulic section is resistant to corrosion.◆ Has a quick-disconnect clamp.

Seals are critical for achieving reliable pressure integrity in wellhead equipment. FMC Energy Systemsis proud of our sealing designs, and we would like to share our seal technology with you so you cantake it into account next time you specify your equipment.

Common oilfield elastomers are sufficiently reliable for low-pressure, normal-service oil and gaswells, and special elastomer compounds and designs are available for critical-service wells. However, allelastomer compounds lose some of their sealing effectiveness over time, with the rate of degradationdependent on environment. Sometimes a metal seal option can be a cost-effective way to increaseservice life and improve production efficiencies. FMC Energy Systems has the expertise to help youdecide the best fit (elastomer or metal) for your application.

E l a s t o m e r S e a l sA number of the more conventional wellhead seals can no longer meet the new stringent design-acceptance criteria, such asthe larger API casing and tubing OD tolerances now allowed by API Spec-5CT. For example, the conventional O-ring seal isvery limited in its ability to bridge large extrusion gaps and remain intact without some kind of antiextrusion device. In addition,some seal designs cannot keep a bubble-tight seal over the wide temperature ranges and large pressure variations encountered.

FMC Energy Systems’ response to these new API requirements addresses the limitations found in traditional interfer-ence and slab-packing applications with the following key design features:◆ Seals meet API Spec. 6A, Appendix F, Performance Requirement Level Two (PR-2) pressure and temperature cycle testing.◆ All seal designs utilize one of the FMC proprietary elastomeric compounds. These seal compounds are rated for all API

material classes, including class HH (H2S/CO2 service), and are also amine resistant.◆ Antiextrusion devices are incorporated into each type of seal design to compensate for thermal expansion/contraction of

the seal element and for installation clearances.◆ All seal elements and antiextrusion components are continuous.◆ Antiextrusion devices are integrally molded into the seal element, making them easier to install and more durable.◆ All seals are designed to provide proper squeeze, volume fill and stretch under all API/FMC tolerance conditions, i.e., the

largest diametric gap possible and the worst-case misalignment of sealing surfaces.

M e t a l S e a l sFMC Energy Systems’ patented “bump” seal design has addressed many issues traditionally associated with metal seals tobecome a technological breakthrough for wellhead equipment. FMC Energy Systems’ metal seals are rugged enough for theoilfield operation, have simple installation procedures, are easily tested after installation and are reusable in most applications.

In most applications FMC Energy Systems metal seals are “self energizing” and do not rely on a wedging action, sus-pended weight or flange make-up force to affect a seal. The seal is “pressure assisted” and can work in any pressure.◆ Meet API Spec. 6A, Appendix F, Performance Requirement Level Two (PR-2) pressure and temperature

cycle testing.◆ Are rated for all API material classes, including class HH (H2S/CO2 service) and are also amine resistant.◆ Can be made from almost any high-strength steel or corrosion-resistant alloy, for use in extreme corrosive services.◆ Work in all temperature ranges, from -75°F arctic service to 1200°F for fire-resistant applications.◆ Are easy to install and test and can withstand standard oilfield handling.◆ Do not deform (crush) metal, either on the seal or on the mating surfaces, so both are normally reusable, minimizing

workover costs.

S - S e a lThe S-Seal is designed to provide reliable sealing between machined components. It is a versatileand reliable seal in cyclic high-pressure and -temperature applications, where conventionalinterference-type seals (O-rings, belt packing, dovetail, etc.) are typically inadequate.

The S-Seal is an interference-type seal utilizing metal coil springs molded integrally into theexposed seal corners as antiextrusion devices. Another important feature of the FMC design is theuse of a “continuous” coil spring, which eliminates weak points around the seal’s circumference.

The S-Seal can be used in many applications where there is a controlled/machined gap betweenthe sealing bore and shaft; for example, a mandrel hanger neck and tubing head adapter bore. Thereare both O.D. and I.D. applications of the S-Seal, with sizes available in nominal diameters up to 20˝. The S-Seal design can be rated up to 10,000 psi working pressure and a 0° to 250°F temperaturerange for all sizes. Special designs allow qualification to 15,000 psi working pressure and 300°F.

F S - S e a lThe FS-Seal has been designed to seal against rough casing where wide tolerances and varyingsurface finishes create difficult sealing conditions. It is utilized as a large cross-section interferenceseal to bridge large extrusion gaps associated with sealing on rough mill casing. The bump provideshigher sealing contact stresses, while the curved recess on the back of the seal controls theamount of compression (squeeze) on the seal element by allowing it to deflect outward when seal-ing against a larger-than-normal outer-casing diameter or an out-of-round section of casing.

The FS-Seal can be supplied integral to a casing-head bottom preparation as a 1-FS (one seal with no secondary) or 2-FS (two seals with one secondary) packoff. It can also be supplied as aseparate 4-S packoff bushing, which incorporates a secondary S-Seal on the bushing OD and asecondary FS-Seal on the ID. The FS-Seal is available for 4 1/2˝ to 30˝ pipe sizes. The FS-Seal israted to 10,000 psi working pressure and a 0° to 250°F temperature range for sizes up to 16˝, while the larger sizes are rated to 5,000 psi working pressure.

C o m p r e s s i o n P a c k i n g w i t h W i r e M e s hThis design is mechanically energized by lockdown screws after assembly and utilizes integrallymolded wire mesh rings on top and bottom of the elastomeric element to increase extrusionresistance. Its design and elastomer compound enable excellent temperature and environmentalresistance. It can be used up to 15,000 psi working pressure and a -50° to 250°F temperature range. The wire mesh is annealed 316 stainless-steel material for corrosion resistance.

P I S e a lThe FMC PI Seal design is an extremely reliable high-pressure sealing mechanism. The PI assembly is comprised of an upper junkring guide, the pressure-intensified (PI) seal assembly, and lower ACME threaded lock ring to hold the packoff in the bottom of thetubing head.

The PI design addresses some rather complex problems associated with oilfield elastomer seal designs, including explosivedecompression, extrusion at high pressures/temperatures, and seal shrinkage/poor response at low temperatures.

The PI seal uses the casing annulus pressure to generate a higher pressure in the elastomer seal, which eliminates the diffusionof gas into the elastomer. This pressure intensification is generated by a movable “T” ring which creates an unbalanced pressurearea across the elastomer seal. This design is coupled with FMC’s proprietary seal formulation, which also has improved gas perme-ation as well as excellent oilfield fluid resistance.

The T-ring design also allows the elastomer to self-compensate for seal stress fluctuations caused by thermal cycling. The move-ment of the T-ring automatically controls excessive seal stresses caused by elastomer expansion. At very low temperatures, the phe-nomenon of seal stress relaxation caused by elastomer shrinkage is again automatically compensated for by annulus pressureapplied to the unbalanced area T-ring.

Seal failure due to extrusion is addressed by the use of automatic “ramping” antiextrusion rings made from thermoplastic materi-al. The antiextrusion rings are located at all four corners of the seal. These rings compensate for the extrusion gaps caused by APIcasing tolerances and manufacturing head tolerances.

The PI seal is rated to 15,000 psi working pressure and was developed for use as a lower casing or tubing spool packoff wherelong-term reliable sealing in hostile environments is required.

S B M S S e a l sFMC Energy Systems’ straight-bore metal seal (SBMS) is energized by interference between the designated primary sealing surfaceand the metal seal’s contact area with that sealing surface. The SBMS is a nonintegral double-ended seal sleeve manufactured fromhigh-strength, low-alloy steel or corrosion-resistant alloy. The seal can be installed separately and can be easily replaced.

The seal design is based on an interference fit with pressure-intensified sealing. As the tubing head bonnet is nippled up, theseal lip (“bump”) engages an entry ramp in the seal bore, radially deflecting the seal lip inward, creating the contact stress requiredto effect a seal. In the fully installed position, the seal lips engage a straight bore above the entry ramp (see illustration). The SBMSmaintains sufficient contact-sealing stress even at very low pressure. As working pressure increases, contact-sealing stressesincrease, making it seal even tighter.

The SBMS qualification tests were conducted with low pressure and high pressure, the fire test pass (API RP-6F “Improved”) of2,000°F flame temperatures and 1,200°F internal seal temperature with zero leakage.

S B M S - I I S e a l sThe SBMS-II has “bumps” on the inside diameter and the outside diameter. Each seal lip engages its entry ramp, creating the seal-ing contact stress with the sealing diameter.

The SBMS-II is used mainly as a production casing metal seal on either extended-neck mandrel-casing hangers or directlyagainst the casing stub when slip hangers are used. When employed to seal against a casing stub, it is required to machine thecasing stub after the casing is hung off. However, it requires only approximately 1 1/4˝ of the casing stub. The operation can beexecuted with a portable pneumatic tool.

The SBMS-II is normally used on production casing where extreme temperature fluctuations are anticipated or in critical-serviceapplications. When used against slip-suspended casing, FMC Energy Systems provides an ACME threaded casing holddown nut tominimize upward thermal expansion of the casing and act as a bit guide to protect the SBMS-II seal when running tubing or condi-tioning the hole.

The SBMS-II seal has been used in sizes up to 20˝. Various applications of the SBMS-II design include valve stem back-seatseals, valve seat body seals and tubing hanger annular packoffs.

R C M S S e a l sThe most recent addition to the family of metal seals is the rough-casing metal seal (RCMS). This seal design does not requirespecial complex field machining of the casing stub; is compatible with a wide range of temperatures and corrosive environments;does not require special installation tools and is simple to install; is NACE compatible; is compatible with casing spool and tubingspool strength; and is compatible with casing string strength properties.

X E M S S e a l sFMC Energy Systems’ externally energized metal seal (XEMS) is used in Unihead® wellhead systems for special mandrel casinghanger and tubing hanger applications. The externally energized seal requires mechanical force to effect a seal. The XEMS seal canbe run through the BOP stack and is energized by lockdown screws or by an internal lockdown ring and running tool.

M e t a l - t o - M e t a l H i g h - P e r f o r m a n c e S e a l sThe metal-to-metal high-performance (M2M HP) Annulus Seal Assembly seals the annular space between the Unihead and theUWD-15 Casing Hangers. The seal is preloaded at installation, giving outstanding sealing performance even at low pressures.Two seal bumps on the OD of the M2M HP seal assembly seal against a recessed groove in the ID of the Unihead. Threeradiused seal bumps on the tapered ID of the M2M HP seal assembly seal against the mating tapered surface on the OD of thecasing Hhanger.

The seal element material is a corrosion-resistant alloy, rendering the seal assembly fit for use in carbon dioxide environ-ments. All mating equipment is overlaid with a corrosion-resistant alloy. The seal bumps plastically deform during installation,filling scratches that may be present on the sealing surfaces.

The M2M HP seal assembly OD locates and aligns within the bore of the Unihead during installation and centralizes the M2M HP seal assembly. The OD also protects the two seal bumps on the seal assembly OD from damage during installation.

A square shoulder in the bore of the locking mandrel sits on top of the casing hanger. The M2M HP seal assembly ispositioned in the Unihead so that the seal elements align with an undercut in the Unihead bore. This undercut area minimizesscratching or scuffing of the seal surfaces which can occur during drilling operations.

When the energizing mandrel is operated, locking segments engage with a groove on the ID of the Unihead. A lock ring in theID of the M2M seal assembly engages with a groove on the OD of the UW-D15 Casing Hangers. The M2M HP seal assemblybottom surface protects the seal by having a larger diameter that shields the retracted sealing elements during running. The M2MHP seal element is retained on the seal assembly with aretainer strip. This retainer strip is held captive and providesuniform support during seal retrieval.

The M2M HP Annulus Seal Assembly is designed toprevent premature energization as the assembly is run downhole. It is rated for 15,000 psi, H2S service and 250oFservice. They were successfully tested to 350oF.

FMC Energy Systems’ long history of designing and manufacturing the finest surface wellhead

products and providing cost-effective systems solutions speaks to our company’s commitment to

developing the industry’s most advanced engineering resources and capabilities, including materials

selection and finite-element analysis, supported with the appropriate R&D facilities and processes,

including materials and design testing labs. The first step in the engineering process is materials

selection, with the main lines of emphasis on metals, elastomers and lubricants.

Metallic Material Selection

Key drivers in selecting metallic materials for

our wellheads are strength, environmental

factors and manufacturability. Precise

assessment of production fluid chemistry

is vital to the selection process. These

analyses include breakdowns in the amounts

of dissolved chlorides, carbon dioxide and

hydrogen sulfide. All selections are based

on API and NACE guidelines and field

experience.

Elastomer Selection

Elastomers are FMC Energy System’s

proprietary formulations designed to

perform in standard oilfield production

environments. Each compound is

developed to function in a specific range

of temperature, pressure and aggressive

chemicals environment. Elastomer com-

pounds are qualified through rigorous test-

ing on actual seal configurations. Seals are

tested to anticipated worst-case conditions.

They are manufactured from compounds

with long life expectancy in oil production

environments. Elastomers are molded into

seals that are qualified for up to 250

degrees and 15,000 psi.

Grease Selection

A variety of specially selected greases are

used in FMC Energy Systems’ wellhead

equipment. These greases are formulated to

provide excellent lubrication characteristics

over a wide range of temperatures while pro-

viding resistance to petroleum hydro-

carbons, H2S, CO2, chlorides, water, frac

fluid, acids and common oilfield chemicals.

Greases are evaluated using a variety of test

instrumentation, including autoclave expo-

sure and dynamic mechanical analysis. Full-

scale field testing of products is also used to

provide service reliability data on selected

greases.

Elastomer Capabi l i ty

A wellhead is as good as its valves and seals, and

performance is about seal performance. Higher pres-

sures, well-treatment chemicals, longer frac times and

other critical-service conditions place emphasis on seal

integrity. If a seal failed, the budget can be severely

impacted. Our customers demand the most reliable seals

technology can deliver, and our industry has set new

standards for seal performance. Conventional O-ring seals no longer meet application demands and industry standards.

In order to maintain complete control over the quality and performance of our elastomer seals, FMC Energy Systems has

made a substantial investment in an Elastomer Laboratory dedicated to the development of new and improved elastomer seal

materials and designs.

Field-proven designs developed by FMC Energy Systems include FS-Seals, S-Seals, and Compression Packings with Wire

Mesh. At the heart of these premium seal designs are proprietary elastomer compounds formulated to provide the best combination

of mechanical properties and chemical resistance to oilfield environments.

Molding of FMC Energy Systems’ seal designs using these proprietary compounds is performed at our Nonmetallic Production

Facility, located in Houston, Texas. Our experience has demonstrated that in-house elastomer seal manufacture and optimized

compounds provide the most reliable combination of mechanical and chemical properties in a premium elastomer seal. This is in

contrast to much of the oilfield industry which outsources seal manufacturing.

New seal designs demanding new, improved compounds, new molding techniques and testing processes are developed

in our Elastomer manufacturing and testing facilities. This assures that FMC Energy Systems brand elastomer seals are not only

state-of-the-art design and materials, but rigorously tested for the complete range of customer applications and environmental

operating conditions.

Technician candidates recruitedfrom these two major sources of talentare already comfortable with formaltraining courses, have a disciplinedapproach to following procedures andhave great attitudes: they are proud oftheir company, their skills and theircommitment to safety and enjoy helpingcustomers by providing superior service.

OUR RIGOROUS TRAINING PROGRAM.

Before joining our service team as a full-fledged FMC wellhead technician, everyrecruit must complete a comprehensive26-week training program. The curricu-lum includes classroom study in drillingtechnology and FMC Surface Wellheadproducts, hands-on lab and field instruc-tion, as well as a rotation through manyfunctional areas of the business. Aboveall, our service trainees have the FMCSurface Wellhead safety culture ingrainedinto every aspect of their thinking,planning and job performance. Beforegraduating, each apprentice must pass awritten competency examination.

SAFETY FIRST, RELIABILITY. When youcall for an FMC Surface Wellhead techni-cian, you know you’re getting someonetechnically competent and thoroughlyexperienced, trained and schooled insafety and reliability, including on-timeperformance. Our specialists are alsoskilled at resolving issues on location,which can translate into major costsavings. They perform in compliance with local regulations and FMC SurfaceWellhead’s safety practices. At the con-clusion of the job, the technician gener-ates a status report that also includesInternet links to digital photos, equipmentschematics and maintenance schedules.

Regular lubrication and maintenance of gate valves

can substantially prolong the life of your wellhead

system. An ongoing program of valve lubrication is

simply good business, as it can reduce the frequency

and cost of repairs and well shutdowns. Our technicians

flush treating fluids, lubricate bearings and fill the

valve body with grease for a single well (for instance,

after the equipment has been exposed to corrosive

chemicals) or on a routine basis as part of a total field

lubrication program.

On your valve lubrication maintenance calls, our

highly trained and experienced technicians follow a

strict schedule of procedures step-by-step to assure

thoroughness and uniform service throughout the

life cycle of the equipment. They are also guided by

detailed reports (including photographs and schematics)

that document the size, working pressure, serial

numbers and manufacture of each piece of equipment

on each wellhead.

The useful life of your surface wellhead components

often exceeds the life of your wells. Managing and

utilizing these assets throughout their life cycle can

yield significant savings by reducing or eliminating

the need to purchase new equipment.

FMC Surface Wellhead technicians help you

extend the life of your wellhead equipment in two

ways: (1) by a regular schedule of maintenance and

prompt repairs for all the components of your

wellhead and keeping them in top working order, or

returning them to peak condition, and (2) supporting

you in the active management of the life cycles of

your wellhead equipment inventories. With FMC

Surface Wellhead’s “cradle to grave” information

management system, you can track every wellhead

asset from invoice to repair history to the asset’s life

and whereabouts after it is removed from the wellsite

and placed in customer property (CP) or on to a new

wellsite to sell or scrap. With our asset-tracking

system, you can track and manage every component

of every installed wellhead system or CP inventory on

your laptop from anywhere in the world.

P r e - W o r k o v e r I n s p e c t i o n

S e r v i c e A well workover is no time to discover

problems with the wellhead. Your FMC Surface

Wellhead technicians can help prevent costly

workover rig and crew downtime by identifying and

documenting the installed equipment and verifying

the proper functioning of all wellhead components

before the rig arrives. This inspection includes tests

for pressure leaks, valve inspection to assure proper

functioning, prepping the bolts for fast and easy

removal and any necessary repairs. Our technicians

also provide test results and documentation for

each wellhead as the units are scheduled for

workover or moving.
