WELCOME TO
WELL INTERVENTION
COURSE
WELL COMPLETION
Objective:
Provide general knowledge of design philosophy, types,

functional requirements & accessories.
WELL COMPLETION
It is the hardware of the outflow system.
There many different types & functions of downhole accessories

installed in a the outflow system depending on the type of a well.
It is essentially important to understand these accessories prior doing

Well Intervention operations.
Remember that all these accessories are installed subsurface in a well

& you are not able to see them accept FEEL them. You must be
able to visualize their shapes & restrictions when you do your WI on
this well in order to achieve a successful operations.

WELLHEAD
Provides the following functions:
] Anchor & connections for each individual casing

] Pressure isolation of individual casing
] Connection for Xmas tree
] Connections for completion string
] Isolation of production annulus
] Access to annulus for pressure monitoring and/or pumping.
Types of Wellheads:
] Compact Wellhead (sub-sea)
] Conventional Wellhead

COMPACT WELLHEAD
It’s positioned on the seabed. During drilling sub-sea BOP is installed

above it.

CONVENTIONAL WELLHEAD
It’s a built up of modules. During drilling BOP is

installed above it & it must be removed each time a
new module to be installed & replaced the BOP on
top of it before commence drilling.
Features:
1 Starter Spool (Conductor Pipe)

2 Surface Casing Head
3 Surface Casing Hanger
4 Production Casing Head
5 Production Casing Hanger
6 Tubing Head
7 Tubing Hanger

XMAS TREE
Surface valves manifold to control flow of well fluids & access for well
intervention activities.
Features:
1 LMV
Manual, NOT working valve optimum conditions.
2 UMV
Emergency valve (Hyd/Pneu) & cut wire.
3 FWV
Permits passage of well fluids to CV.
4 CHOKE VALVE (CV)
Restrict, control or regulate flow of well fluids.
5 KWV
Permits entry of kill fluids into tubing or equalize.
6 SV/CV
Permits entry of well interventions.

Most OPCO have their own philosophy
regarding the Xmas Tree structure.
E.g. some OPCO have chosen to
eliminate the manual master valve
& the kill wing valve.
XMAS TREE TYPE:

1 Solid Block or Mono Block
] Contains fewer components (for high
pressure wells)
2 Composite Block
] Valves are located on separate block &
joined by API flange.
3 Horizontal Xmas Tree

] New concept used for sub-sea
completion.

Wellhead Connection Types;
] Screwed type (low press <1 000psi).
] API Flanged type (high press <5 000psi).
] API Flanged type are mostly used by OPCO –
because it’s less susceptible & easier oriented.
Example of API Flange specification:

9⅛” – 5000 psi API Flange.
9⅛” is the ID of the flange & 5000 psi is the

working pressure.
SNUBBING
Objective:
Provide an overview knowledge of snubbing operations.

SNUBBING
Snubbing: “Tripping pipe (1½” - 3”) into well against pressure”
Stripping: “Run pipe through element to contain well pressure”
APPLICATION: ADVANTAGE OVER CT:

• Sand Washing • Small vertical footprint
• Well Unloading • High drilling/milling rotation torque
• Washing Perforations
• Acidising • High pressure > 5k psi
• Cementing • Horizontal well
• Drilling or Milling
• Fishing
• Blow Control

SNUBBING CONCLUSION
• Tripping pipes under pressure.
• Utilizes Stationary & Traveling Slips mounted on Hydraulic Jack

assembly to snub in & out of well.
• Require small footprint.
• Perform various Well Intervention applications for high pressure &

highly deviated wells.
• Provides high milling & drilling capacity.
