연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A low-pressure wellhead system with tubular heads and mandrels secured independently using threaded unions. A casing mandrel is secured to a wellhead by a first threaded union. Likewise, a tubing head spool is secured to the casing mandrel using a threaded union. A tubing hanger is also secured to the tubing head spool using a threaded union. An adapter flange may also be secured to the tubing hanger by a threaded union. Because this low-pressure wellhead is faster and easier to assemble and provides full bore access, there is less rig downtime, thus ren...

We claim: 1. A wellhead system for stimulating and extracting subterranean hydrocarbons from a low-pressure well, the system comprising: a plurality of tubular heads, each tubular head having side ports and supporting a mandrel for suspending a tubular string in the well, each mandrel being secured to the tubular head that supports the mandrel by a threaded union, and each mandrel supporting one of: a said tubular head which is secured by a threaded union to the mandrel that supports the tubular head, and an adapter flange for connecting production equipment to the wellhead system, the adapter flange being secured to the mandrel that supports the adapter flange by another threaded union. 2. The wellhead system as claimed in claim 1 comprising two of said tubular heads separated by one of the mandrels, the one of the mandrels being supported by a first of said tubular heads and the one of the mandrels supporting a second of said tubular heads. 3. The wellhead system as claimed in claim 1 wherein each threaded union comprises a nut. 4. The wellhead system as claimed in claim 3 wherein the nut comprises one of: a wing nut, and a spanner nut. 5. The wellhead system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the tubular strings suspended by the mandrels are concentrically disposed within a surface casing suspended by a wellhead, the wellhead being supported by a conductor assembly dug into the earth. 6. The wellhead system as claimed in claim 1 comprising: a casing mandrel supported by a wellhead and secured to the wellhead by a threaded union, the wellhead securing and suspending a surface casing, the casing mandrel securing and suspending a production casing; a tubing head spool supported by the casing mandrel and threadedly secured to the casing mandrel by a pin thread and a threaded union; and a tubing hanger secured to the tubing head spool by a threaded union, the tubing hanger securing and suspending a production tubing. 7. The wellhead system as claimed in claim 6 further wherein an adapter flange is threadedly secured to the tubing hanger by a pin thread and a threaded union, the last-mentioned adapter flange having an upper flange for connecting to a flow-control device. 8. The wellhead system as in claim 1, wherein each said tubular string is suspended by a respective said mandrel by a threaded connection between the tubular string and the respective mandrel. 9. A low-pressure wellhead system comprising: an independent screwed wellhead having independently secured tubular heads, each, independently secured tubular head having side ports, and each independently secured tubular head supporting a respective mandrel that supports and suspends a respective tubular string in a well bore; and a respective threaded union for threadedly securing each of the respective mandrels to the independently secured tubular head that supports it, at least one the mandrels supporting one of the independently secured tubular heads, which is independently secured to that mandrel by another threaded union. 10. The wellhead system as claimed in claim 9 comprising a first tubular head threadedly secured to a surface casing of the wellhead system and a second tubular head, a first mandrel supported by the first tubular head and supporting the second tubular head and a second mandrel supported by the second tubular head. 11. The wellhead system as claimed in claim 10 wherein: the first tubular head is a wellhead supported by a conductor assembly, the wellhead securing and suspending a surface casing in the well bore; the first mandrel is a casing mandrel supported by the wellhead, the casing mandrel securing and suspending a production casing in the well bore; the second tubular head is a tubing head spool supported by the casing mandrel, the tubing head spool supporting the second mandrel at an upper end thereof; and the second mandrel is a tubing hanger supported by the tubing head spool, the tubing hanger securing and suspending a production tubing in the well bore. 12. The wellhead system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the threaded unions comprise one of: a wing nut, and a spanner nut. 13. A method of completing a low-pressure well comprising steps of: securing a first mandrel to a first tubular head using a first threaded union, the first tubular head supporting a first tubular string in the well, and the first mandrel supporting a second tubular string in the well; securing a second tubular head to the first mandrel using a second threaded union; and securing a second mandrel to the second tubular head using a third threaded union, the second mandrel supporting a third tubular string in the well. 14. The method as claimed in claim 13 further comprising a step of securing an adapter flange to the second mandrel using a fourth threaded union. 15. A method of completing a low-pressure well after a conductor assembly has been installed in the ground above a subterranean hydrocarbon formation, the method comprising steps of: landing a wellhead onto the conductor assembly, the wellhead securing and suspending a surface casing in the well; securing a casing mandrel to the wellhead using a first threaded union, the casing mandrel securing and suspending a production casing in the well; securing a tubing head spool to the casing mandrel using a second threaded union; and securing a tubing hanger to the tubing head spool using a third threaded union, the tubing hanger securing and suspending a production tubing in the well. 16.
