Xmas Tree Overview


Provides a pressure containing method to safely cap the Well via its interface with the subsea Wellhead
Xmas Tree features:
Control, monitor and condition either produced or injected media. (Designs for either 5000, 10000 or 15,000 psi wp) Provides normal and failsafe methods of shutting the Well at the mudline Provides a interface to re-enter the Well at any time during the life of the field Provides a platform/interface from which to monitor down hole pressure temperature or smart well systems & applications Provides a platform/interface from which to inject chemicals either down hole or at the Xmas Tree
