Subsea Wellhead Equipment
T he subsea wellhead housing, which provides the interface between and the support for the
casing strings and the B.O.P. equipment, has a number of important functions to perform.
These include:
1. Provide a solid foundation and pressure tight seal for the B.O.P. stack.
2. Support all the subsequent casing strings.
3. Provide a pressure tight seal and lockdown facility for the subsequent casing hangers.
Subsea wellheads are available in a number of sizes and pressure ratings ranging from 21!/4" x
2,000 P.S.I. to 13#/8" x 15,000 P.S.I.
The most commonly used subsea casing and wellhead programme would consist of 30", 20", 13#/8",
9%/8", and 7" casing strings. The last joint of 30 inch conductor casing is connected to a 30 inch housing
which provides the support structure for the high pressure wellhead and all subsequent casing strings.
Attachment for the permanent guidebase is also provided on the 30 inch housing. It is vitally impor-
tant to the entire operation that the 30 inch casing be cemented in place correctly, as the loads will
be transferred through the housing to the seabed.
The high pressure 18#/4" wellhead, which is attached to the last joint of 20" casing to be run, lands
out and is locked to the 30" housing. The 18#/4" high pressure wellhead has an external seal
profile which accepts the B.O.P. connector gasket and a number of internal seal areas and lock
down grooves which accept casing hanger lockdown rings. Figure 129 shows a typical conductor
housing, wellhead and guidebase assembly.
The B.O.P. stack would be run and latched to the 18#/4" wellhead and all subsequent casing strings
would be terminated inside the wellhead housing on specially designed casing hangers.
The 13#/8" casing hanger is designed to land off on a tapered shoulder at the bottom of the
wellhead and subsequent casing hangers land on the previous hanger or seal assembly. Special
seal assemblies are used in conjunction with the casing hangers to seal the annulus between the
casing strings. The seal sections of the seal assemblies are protected while they are run to the
wellhead and have to be energised once they have landed in the wellhead.
Two methods are used to energize the seal assemblies these are drill string weight and drill string
transmitted torque. Figure 130 shows a typical three hanger wellhead housing.
CAMERON WEIGHT SET II SYSTEM

As the name suggests, the Cameron WS11 system utilises drill string weight to energise the casing
hanger seal assemblies.
Casing Hanger
The WS11 casing hanger has an internal left hand running thread, an internal ratch-latch right
hand thread, an internal seal surface, a lock down ring and fluid flow by slots cut in the external

profile to allow for mud returns during cementing operations. The casing hanger is made up to the
left hand threaded running tool and run and landed on the wellhead. The casing is cemented in
place and the running tool retrieved by rotating to the right and picking straight up. Great care
should be used to ensure the casing hanger is landed in the correct position in the wellhead prior
to cementing. Figure 131 shows the casing hanger.
Seal Assembly
The seal assembly consists of a main body which has a lower outer seal and a ratch latch split
threaded ring. The pack off ring is installed over the body and retained in place by shear pins, cap
screws and “Z” slots. The main annulus seal is housed in the pack off ring. The shear pins have
to be sheared in order that the pack off ring can energise the main annulus seal. Figure 132
shows the WS 11 seal assembly.
Seal Assembly Running Procedure

The seal assembly is placed on the drill floor and the wear bushing is made up ensuring that the
pins on the wear bushing align with the slots in the pack off ring. The running tool is made up to
the drill string and lowered through the wear bushing and seal assembly. The drill string is turned
to the left to engage the running tool pins with the wear bushing slots. Firstly, ensure that the
support dogs are supporting the seal assembly and wear bushing and then lower the seal assem-
bly on the drill string into the wellhead. The drill string should have a centraliser after the first joint
of drill pipe. At least 30,000 lbs. drill string weight is required to energise the seal.
Land the seal assembly in the wellhead and apply 30,000 lbs. weight down, this forces the seal
assembly into the casing hanger and the ratch latch threads will mate, the lockdown ring is
energised by the seal assembly at this time. Pick up the drill string weight leaving 10,000 lbs.
weight down and apply right hand torque to a maximum of 2,000 ft. lbs. Apply 30,000 lbs. weight
down and rotate the drill string 20 degrees to the left, which will allow the drill string weight to
shear the shear pins and energise the seal.
As the pack off ring drops down due to the drill string weight, the seal is forced over an upset on
the seal assembly body. The elastomer section of the seal is compressed forcing the metal lips
radially outward into sealing contact with the wellhead body and the seal assembly body. Rotate
the drill string a further 10 degrees to the left to lock the wear bushing in place.
Close an appropriate set of pipe rams and pressure test the seal. On completion of pressure
testing pick up the drill string weight, leaving 5,000 lbs. down, rotate the drill string 10 degrees to
the right and pick straight up to retrieve the running tool. The running procedure is the same for all
sizes of seal assembly. Figure 133 shows the seal assembly, wear bushing and running tool.
On initial testing of the seal assembly, strict attention should be paid to the amount of fluid required to
build up the initial test pressure. Pressure should build up within one half to one full barrel of fluid
pumped. If pressure does not build up within this amount, then the seal assembly could be leaking
and the annulus may be pressurised, if pumping continues the casing could be damaged.
9-3
Wear Bushing
Wear bushings are installed in the wellhead housing to protect the exposed housing sealing
areas against damage from drill pipe rotation etc. They are initially installed with, and locked to
the seal assembly, and extend to the top of the housing giving full protection.
An installation and retrieval tool is supplied which allows the removal of the wear bushings for
inspection or for installation of the next casing string. Figure 134 shows a Cameron WS 11 wear
bushing and running tool.
Wear Bushing Running Procedure

Make the running tool up to the drill string, ensure that the cams are rotated to the in position,
locking the spring loaded dogs in the retracted position. Lower the running tool into the wear
bushing aligning the pins on the running tool with the slots on the wear bushing and then rotate
the running tool to the left, this locks the running tool to the wear bushing.
Lower the wear bushing to the wellhead and land with 5,000 lbs. down. Rotate the drill string to
the left until a slight drop is noticed then rotate a further 10 degrees to lock the wear bushing in
place, apply 5,000-10,000 lbs. overpull to confirm that the wear bushing is locked in place. Re-
lease the overpull and then rotate the drill string 10 degrees to the right and pick straight up to
retrieve the running tool.
Wear Bushing Retrieval Procedure

Make the running tool up to the drill string and ensure that the cams are rotated to the out position
which releases the spring loaded dogs. Land the running tool in the wear bushing with 2,000 lbs.
down. Rotate the drill string to the left until the drill string drops slightly then apply 5,000-10,000
lbs. overpull to confirm that the tool is engaged in the wear bushing. Release the overpull and
apply 12,000 ft. lbs. of right hand torque to shear the wear bushing lock pins. Pull straight up to
retrieve the wear bushing.
B.O.P. Test Tools

There are two types of B.O.P. test tools available for the WS 11 system, a weight set type and a Boll
Weevil plug type. The weight set test tool is an isolation tool which seals on the wellhead body,
isolating the seal assembly from the test pressure. The tool can be landed and seal in the wellhead
body prior to any wear bushings or casing hangers being run, in the 13#/8" and 9%/8" wear bushings and
in the 13#/8" and 9%/8" seal assemblies. A drill string weight of at least 25,000 lbs. is required to shear the
shear pins and energise the seal. Figure 135 shows the weight set test tool.
The 13#/8 x 9%/8 Boll Weevil type test tool is a simple plug type tool which has one end designed to
land and seal in the 13#/8" seal assembly and the other end designed to land and seal in the 9%/8"
seal assembly. Lip type seals are used which seal in the main body of the seal assembly. A Boll
Weevil test tool is also available which lands and seals in the 7" wear bushing and another for
landing and testing in the 7" seal assembly. Figure 136 shows a Boll Weevil test plug.
9-4
VETCO SG 5 TORQUE SET SYSTEM
The Vetco SG 5 system utilises drill string transmitted torque to energise the seal assembly. The
casing hanger has an internal left hand running thread, an internal seal profile, an external right
hand seal assembly thread, an external seal profile, external fluid flow by slots and an external
lock down ring. The casing hanger and seal assembly are run together on a single trip installation
and test tool. Figure 137 shows the casing hanger.
Seal Assembly
The seal assembly consists of a threaded pack off ring and a compression type seal. The com-
pression seal section consists of an elastomer compression element and four metal lip seals and
is retained to the pack off ring by a retainer ring. The threaded pack off ring has four internal
vertical slots which mate with torque keys on the running tool. As torque is applied to the pack off
ring the compression element expands the metal lip seals outward into sealing contact with the
wellhead body and the casing hanger. Figure 138 shows the seal assembly.
Running Procedure
The casing hanger is placed in the rotary table and the seal assembly made up to the external right
hand thread. The seal assembly would be screwed onto the casing hanger such that the distance
from the bottom edge of the seal to the shoulder on the casing hanger is between 2!/2 inches to 2(/16
inches. The running tool would be made up to the drill string and lowered into the casing hanger,
ensuring that the lead threads on the running tool and the casing hanger are aligned and that the
torque keys on the running tool align with the torque slots on the seal assembly pack off ring.
The drill string would be rotated to the left approximately four turns until tight. The measurement
between the bottom of the seal and the shoulder on the casing hanger should now be between
4!/8 and 4!/2". This clearance ensures fluid flow past the seal during cementing operations. The
assembly would then be run in and landed on the wellhead. After cementing operations are
complete, the drill string is rotated to the right approximately 8 turns and 15,000 ft. lbs. torque
applied to energise the seal. Close the appropriate set of pipe rams and pressure test the seal.
The running procedure is the same for all sizes of casing. Figure 139 shows the casing hanger,
seal assembly, and the running tool.
Elevation Check Tool

It is possible with this system for the seal assembly to be torqued and set at a point above the
casing hanger landing shoulder. This would be caused by a build up of well cuttings in the area
between the casing hanger and the wellhead body, this is acceptable provided the top of the pack
off ring is less than !/2" high. If the top of the seal assembly were more than !/2" high then the next
casing hanger would land on the pack off ring and not on the casing hanger resulting in all subse-
quent casing hangers landing in the wrong position.
If the full eight turns of the drill string is not achieved during make up of the seal assembly and if
doubts exist, an elevation check tool can be run into the wellhead to verify the pack off ring position.
9-5
The tool has four hydraulic pistons with lead impression blocks attached. The tool is run and
landed on the casing hanger. 500 P.S.I. drill pipe pressure is applied which energises the pistons
and an impression of the top of the pack off ring is taken. Lead impression pins are provided to
confirm that the tool is correctly landed on the casing hanger. The tool would then be retrieved and
a measurement taken from the landing point on the tool to the impression. This measurement
confirms the exact position of the pack off ring relative to the casing hanger.
PORRT
Should the seal assembly fail, a special seal assembly retrieval and installation tool known as a
pack off running and retrieving tool is available. This tool is used to run and retrieve the seal
assemblies independently from the casing hanger. Figure 140 shows the PORRT.
Test Tools
The Vetco SG5 system test tool is a simple plug type tool designed to land and seal in either the
wellhead body, prior to any wear bushings or casing hangers being installed, or in the casing
hangers. The wear bushing must be retrieved prior to running this test tool.
A modified wear bushing and test tool is available which allows testing of the system with the wear
bushing in place. Figure 141 shows the SG5 test plugs.
Wear Bushings
The wear bushings are run on a special installation and retrieval tool which fits all sizes of wear
bushing. The wear bushing has four external pins which lock into horizontal slots in the pack off
ring. The wear bushing running tool has a closed hydraulic system which is required to release
the running tool from the wear bushings and four external torque pins used to rotate the wear
bushing into place in the wellhead.
Wear Bushing Running Procedure

Make up the running tool to the drill string. Set the wear bushing in the rotary table and lower the
running tool into the wear bushing, ensuring that the torque pins on the running tool are aligned with
the slots in the wear bushing. Lower the assembly to the wellhead and apply 5,000 lbs. weight down.
Rotate the drill string to the right and apply 3,000–5,000 ft. lbs. of torque. Release the torque and
apply 5,000–10,000 lbs. of overpull to confirm that the wear bushing is locked in place. Release
the overpull and apply 800 P.S.I. drill pipe pressure and pick straight up on the drill string. Once
the running tool is clear of the wear bushing, vent the drill pipe pressure to zero.
Wear Bushing Retrieval Procedure

Make the running tool up to the drill string, lower to the wellhead and land with 5,000-10,000 lbs.
weight down. Rotate the drill string to the right with a maximum of 5,000 ft. lbs. of torque. Apply over-
pull of 5,000-10,000 lbs. to confirm that the tool is engaged in the wear bushing. Release the overpull
and rotate the drill string to the left until slight torque build up is noted, 2,000 ft. lbs. maximum, release
the torque and pick straight up and pull to surface. Figure 142 shows a wear bushing and installation tool.

Reliable Metal Seals
True All Metal Sealing
The MS-1 Seal is fully pre-energized with drill pipe weight to over 15,000 psi and does not use pressure
energization to maintain the seal.
Both the wellhead housing and each hanger have a sealing area of parallel “wickers”, or V-grooves. After
the seal is positioned, it is set by forcing the energizing ring between the metal “U” seal, expanding it into
the wicker profiles. This expansion causes the wickers to bite into the softer metal of the seal, and imparts
energy into the hanger neck and housing body to preload each wicker interface higher than the rated
pressure. The “biting” action can fully seal, even with serious damage to both the seal and wickers. In
essence, a 1 inch wide band of wickers offers multiple independent metal seals which together form the
primary all-metal seal. This action yields a long term seal that cannot lose elastic energy due to
temperature extremes or exposure to corrosive fluids.
Intensive testing has validated that housing and hanger

wickers can withstand multiple seal settings and retractions
without impairing their sealing ability. The MS-1 seal
provides 1.0 million pounds of casing lock-down capacity to
counter thermal and pressure-induced upthrust loads.
To date, over 400 MS-700 Wellhead Systems have been

installed worldwide, with 98% of the seals setting the first
time.

High Pressure Housing Interface 5
High Integrity Interface for Exceptional Bending Load Capacity

and Improved Fatigue Characteristics for Deepwater Applications
As drilling and production operations have moved to ever deeper waters, the extreme environmental loading conditions have
led ABB Vetco Gray to develop the patented Tapered Socket wellhead interface. This design eliminates fatigue of the 20"
casing string by transmitting all axial and bending loads directly into the conductor housing. Introduced in 1991, the tapered
socket design has been proven to be technically superior in adverse
conditions, and has helped our customers meet the demanding
requirements of deepwater TLP and Spar applications.
When the High Pressure (HP) housing and 20" casing string are run, the
housing lands out and latches into the internal profile of the conductor
housing. At initial contact of the housings, full engagement is achieved at High Pressure
the upper socket. As the rig slacks weight off the drillstring, the weight of Housing
the 20" casing string displaces the HP housing downward until contact
occurs at the lower socket. The tapered socket interface design of the Latch Assembly
housings provides high bending load capacity for most applications.
Tapered Socket
For high current conditions or deepwater service, the Bootstrap tool may Profile
be used to further improve fatigue resistance.After the casing is cemented
and the running tool is released from the housing, two simple overpulls of MS-1 Seal
the drillstring actuate the Bootstrap tool. The tool “bootstraps” the two
housings together with 1.2 million pounds of force to achieve full surface Low Pressure
contact at both tapered sockets, ensuring that all bending loads are Conductor
transmitted directly into the conductor housing and carried fully by the
conductor string. One more pull on the drillstring releases the tool for
Casing Hanger
recovery to the surface, leaving the wellhead rated for maximum bending
loads and ready for completion.

capacity housing latch. These designs use a multiple step design to
achieve high capacities while using a minimum amount of space. The
standard latch can be retracted for disassembly of the wellhead after the
HP housing and conductor housing have been plugged and abandoned as a unit.
To help meet the demanding requirements of the deepwater market, ABB Vetco Gray incorporated the features of the
standard latch into a high capacity releasable design which can be retracted and recovered subsea. This feature gives our
customers the capability to recover HP housings after they have been bootstrapped and improves flexibility during
abandonment operations.

Casing Hangers
Standard Casing Hangers

The standard casing hanger family consists of a range of hanger sizes which interface to the 18-3/4" High

The ABB Vetco Gray 16" Below Mudline hanger system was
originally introduced in 1981 to provide a contingency back-up for
the 20" casing string. The system has been through a series of
improvements since that time to meet increasing requirements from
the field, culminating in the two versions now available. The 16"
casing system has seen widespread use for exploration,
deepwater, and shallow flow applications to provide an
intermediate casing string after the 20" casing has been run.

ABB Vetco Gray also manufactures casing hangers in 20”, 24” and 26” sizes with either an MS-1 metal seal or
a high integrity bulk rubber seal. These casing hangers are used when additional casing strings are required
by well conditions, as well as for the containment of Shallow Water Flow (please see page 11).These casing
hangers are run below the wellhead housings to isolate different zones in a formation. Proper placement of
these hangers provides permanent annulus sealing even if the well is abandoned.

Shallow Water Flow Options 11
Shallow Water Flow

Shallow Water Flow (SWF) is a geological phenomenon which is encountered more frequently as operators increasingly
explore the deepwater environment. These SWF zones are typically several hundred to several thousand feet below
mudline. Penetration of these pressurized zones can seriously de-stabilize the well foundation, impact cementing
operations, and cause breakdown of the near-surface strata.
The four systems below show different options within the MS-700 product family for containment of shallow flow. The
equipment shown in each configuration offers different operational and functional advantages for sealing SWF zones.
ABB Vetco Gray offers custom-designed wellhead systems based on these components to meet the requirements of
single or multiple zone applications.

High Pressure / High Temperature Applications
Reliable Systems for Critical Service
The MS-700 Family of Subsea Wellhead Systems incorporate a number of features, as well as optional
equipment, to meet the difficult conditions of High Pressure/High Temperature (HP/HT) critical service.
As drilling in many regions has reached deeper and older reservoirs, more wells have been completed
which have both high pressure and high temperature requirements. This has led to a variety of increased
technical requirements in designing wellhead equipment for this application. The MS-700 wellhead
system has a number of features as well as optional equipment to meet the difficult conditions of HP/HT
service.
The high production temperatures in this application have created

reliability problems for many annulus seal designs. The MS-1 High Pressure
Housing
annulus seal is uniquely suited to HP/HT wells, with 100% all
metal construction and multiple sealing wickers providing the
temperature and well fluid resistance to ensure the highest levels
of reliability in this service. The MS-1 seal has been qualified for 7-5/8” Wear
Bushing
use in 15,000 psi systems with continuous temperatures of 350
deg F.
The high well pressures have led to significant increases in

Lockdown Sub
casing weights and loads to handle the high pressures. The
frequent presence of H2S in these older reservoirs requires lower
casing grades which increase casing weights further. ABB Vetco
Gray has responded by developing the HCCH casing hanger,
which is available in 7-5/8" and 9-5/8" sizes. This special casing
hanger transmits axial loads through split load ring directly into an
internal profile of the HP housing, thus allowing higher casing 7-5/8” Casing
Hanger
loads for the 13-3/8" and 10-3/4" casing strings.
A 4-hanger version of the MS-700 High Pressure (HP) Housing is

used in HP/HT applications to accommodate the additional
casing strings used to reach the deep reservoirs. This gives the 10-3/4” Casing
Hanger
customer greater flexibility in changing his casing program to
meet unexpected downhole conditions. The 4-hanger housing
also allows use of a casing hanger Lockdown Sub. In contrast to
the HCCH hanger which transmits loads downward into the
13-3/8” Casing
housing, the Lockdown sub carries upward loads due to thermal Hanger
expansion of casing subjected to high well temperatures. This
design eliminates cyclic loading of sealing elements due to
temperature fluctuations to further enhance the reliability of the
seal in corrosive environments for long term production

® 18-3/4" SS-15 15,000 PSI SUBSEA
WELLHEAD RUNNING TOOLS
• All Wellhead running tools are a cam actuated mechanism. The
running tools rotate to the right to release from the Wellheads.
• All Wellhead running tools have low friction bearing surfaces to

carry tensile and bending loads. This ensures easy release even
under high bending moments.
• Hydraulic Running Tools with mechanical back-up are available if

required.
• Ascending and descending lock-unlock indicator rods are used on

each tool.
• The running tools are unaffected by ambient pressure.
• The running tools have ample air exhaust and/or jet return ports.
CASING HANGERS
• All casing weights and pressure loads are transferred to the 13-3/8"
Casing hanger at the bottom of the Wellhead. Individual mecha-
nisms on each hanger that must be at a precise elevation in the
Wellhead are not required.
• All Casing Hangers are centralized in the Wellhead and land on a

forty degree (40˚) shoulder. The hangers do not land on a flat
shoulder which can collect junk and misalign a hanger.
• All Casing Hangers have large flow-by areas of fourteen square

inches.
• All Casing Hangers can be locked down to the Wellhead if desired.

A two inch lock down tolerance is provided.
• The Casing Hangers have the capability for subsea tie-back.
• All Casing Hangers are designed for 15,000 PSI working pressure,
and H2S service.

SEAL ASSEMBLY
• The Seal Assembly provides a true dual metal-to-metal seal be-
tween the Casing Hanger and the Wellhead.
• The dual metal-to-metal Seals are pressure energized. The Seal

Assembly has been successfully cycle tested multiple times with-
out elastomer to the maximum working pressure from both the top
and bottom.
• The Seal Assembly is weight set. No torque is required. Only

15,000 lbs. of running string weight is required.
• The Seal Assembly has resilient back-up seals. The resilient seals
are trapped between the metal seals and can never extrude.
• The Seal Assembly is run with the Casing Hanger, and can be set
before the cement cures. An extra Wellhead washing trip is not
required.
• The Seal Assembly is energized between the machined I.D. of the

Wellhead and the machined and coated O.D. of the Casing Hanger.
The lower profile of the Seal Assembly does not contact the Casing
Hanger’s outer shoulder which can accumulate junk, etc. Proper
energization of the Seal Assembly is assured even if formation
cuttings or gumbo are in the cement returns. The Seal Assembly
has been successfully tested multiple times with gumbo and forma-
tion cuttings packed around the Casing Hanger.
• The dual metal Seal lips are protected while running and cannot be
damaged when passing through the riser and BOP stack.
• The Seal Assembly is automatically locked to the Casing Hanger

during pressure testing. The Seal Assembly will properly seal even
if the Casing Hanger sets high.
• If required, the Seal Assembly is retrieved by straight vertical pull.

No torque or left hand rotation is required. Only 25,000 lbs.
overpull is required to release the Seal Assembly from the Casing
Hanger. This overpull can only be applied with the Multi-Purpose
Tool. The Seal Assembly is made from integral structural steel.
The entire Seal Assembly is always recovered. No parts are left in
the Wellhead. The Seal Assembly cannot accidentally be released
by passage of a Bottom Hole Assembly.
SB 01
® 18-3/4" SS-15 15,000 PSI SUBSEA
• An Emergency Seal Assembly is available if required. It uses
metal lips and radially squeezed elastomer on the O.D. and I.D.
O-rings are not used. It is installed on the Casing Hanger in the
same manner as the standard Seal Assembly.
• No down hole thread break out or make up is required to install or

recover a Seal Assembly.
• The same Seal Assembly fits all Casing Hangers 13-3/8" and
smaller.
• The Seal Assembly is designed for 15,000 PSI WP and H2S

service.
CASING HANGER SEAL ASSEMBLY RUNNING TOOL
• One running tool runs all Casing Hangers, 13-3/8" and smaller, on
drill pipe, in a single trip. No clean out trip is required because the
Seal Assembly is run with the Casing Hanger.
• The Casing Hanger and Seal Assembly Running Tool is cam

actuated. It is not threaded to the hanger; thus no load bearing
threads must be rotated.
• The tool holds the Seal Assembly well above the Casing Hanger
during cementing. This provides a large flow-by area around the
hanger seal surface.
• To run the Casing Hanger and Seal Assembly; land the hanger and
cement, rotate the running string six (6) turns to release the run-
ning tool from the hanger and the Seal Assembly automatically
drops into a sealing mode on the hanger. Pressure test and pick
straight up to recover the running tool.
• The running tool seals in the Casing Hanger to allow a full test of
the Seal Assembly and the BOP stack.
• The running tool automatically locks down the Seal Assembly to

the Casing Hanger during the first pressure test. The Seal Assem-
bly is retrieved when the running tool is recovered if the Seal
Assembly is not properly locked down.
• Full bore Casing Hanger Running Tools are available if required.
SB 01
® 18-3/4" SS-15 15,000 PSI SUBSEA
WEAR BUSHINGS 18-3/4" X 13-3/8" AND SMALLER
• The Wear Bushings allow testing of the BOP stack, with the Wear
Bushing installed in the Wellhead. It is not necessary to pull the
Wear Bushing to use either the Isolation Test Tool or the Cup Test
Tool. This saves two trips per BOP stack test.
• The Wear Bushings are locked down to the Seal Assembly with
eight (8) spring loaded shear pins, which snap into a groove in the
Seal Assembly.
• To run any Wear Bushing, land it on the Casing Hanger using the
Multi-Purpose Tool. Pick straight up and overpull 30,000 pounds
to shear the pins in the Multi-Purpose Tool adapter and recover the
tool.
• To retrieve any Wear Bushing, land the Multi-Purpose Tool on the

Wear Bushing. Pick straight up and overpull 60,000 pounds to
shear the pins in the Wear Bushing and recover the Multi-Purpose
Tool and the Wear Bushing.
MULTI-PURPOSE TOOL 18-3/4"
• The Multi-Purpose Tool runs and retrieves the Bore Protector and
all Wear Bushings.
• The Multi-Purpose Tool retrieves the Casing Hanger Seal Assem-

bly.
• The Multi-Purpose Tool runs and retrieves the Corrosion Cap.
• The Multi-Purpose Tool allows testing of the BOP stack, and the
Seal Assembly simultaneously, by use of a cup tester. (A Drill
Pipe Release and Test Tool can also be run with this assembly to
allow the blind/shear rams to be tested on the same trip.)
• The Multi-Purpose Tool serves as an emergency drill pipe hang-off

tool.
• When retrieving Wellhead components with the Multi-Purpose

Tool, a jet sub can be run to assure component retrieval without
making an extra wash out trip.
SB 01
® 18-3/4" SS-15 15,000 PSI SUBSEA
B.O.P. ISOLATION TEST TOOL 18-3/4"
• The BOP Isolation Test Tool allows testing of the BOP stack and
the Wellhead Housing, after the Bore Protector is removed from
the Wellhead (The Test Tool has a thread-on adapter which sits on
the Wellhead lower shoulder.)
• The Isolation Test Tool allows testing of the BOP stack with the
13-3/8" or 9-5/8" Wear Bushing installed. The tool sits atop the
Wear Bushing and seals in the Wellhead I.D. above the Wear
Bushing. This method tests the BOP while isolating the Casing
Hanger Seal Assembly from test pressure.
• The Isolation Test tool can also be used in the Wellhead on top of
a Casing Hanger body. The Seal Assembly remains isolated from
test pressure.
• The Isolation Test Tool annular seal element cannot be energized

while running nor until the tool lands on a Wear Bushing, Casing
Hanger or Wellhead lower shoulder. The seal element activator
sleeve mechanism can only be released when the split release ring
engages in a Wear Bushing, Casing Hanger or the Wellhead re-
stricted I.D.
SEAL ASSEMBLY RUNNING TOOL 18-3/4"
• To run the Seal Assembly, land it on the Casing Hanger, pressure

test and pick straight up on the Seal Assembly running Tool and
recover the tool.
• The Seal Assembly Running Tool seals in the Casing Hanger to

allow a full pressure test of the Seal Assembly and BOP stack.
• The Seal Assembly Running Tool automatically locks down the

Seal Assembly during the initial pressure test. The Seal Assembly
will be recovered intact, with the running tool, if it is not properly
locked down to the Casing Hanger.
• The Seal Assembly Running Tool also runs the Emergency Seal
Assembly using the same procedure as the Standard Seal Assembly.
