MBS Multi-Bowl Wellhead System

he Cameron MBS Multi-Bowl Wellhead System is a

compact, unitized wellhead which can be used as
an alternative to conventional wellhead systems in
onshore and platform applications. The MBS Wellhead
offers the following advantages over conventional systems:
The lower and upper casing heads are installed as a

single unit, saving installation time.

The casing and tubing can be installed, landed and

sealed through the BOP stack, increasing safety and

saving rig time normally required to remove and
reinstall the BOP stack during conventional wellhead
installations.
Uses many conventional wellhead components and

practices.
Components of the MBS Wellhead System are based on
field-proven technology and offer a range of features
including:

Lower Casing Head

The lower casing head incorporates a slip-on weld

bottom connection with a single O-ring to seal between

the casing stub and the casing head inside diameter.
The lower casing head is available with line pipe

threaded, flanged or studded outlets.

The casing head incorporates a straight-bore design

with a 45 load shoulder for casing hanger support.

This design minimizes hoop load on the housing,
provides a high hanging capacity and reduces the
risk of bowl damage due to drill stem rotation.

Upper Casing Spool

The upper casing spool is a straight-bore design.
The casing spool includes two sets of type N lockscrews

to lockdown wellhead components. These lockscrews

are designed with the packing in front of the threads to
prevent contamination of the threads by wellbore fluid.
The spool is available with studded outlets.

Casing Hanger
The MBS Wellhead casing hanger is a high-capacity,

mandrel-type hanger which is rated to the full joint

strength of the suspended casing.

The hanger is designed with integral flutes which allow

cement returns to pass up through the BOP stack.

Pack-off Bushing
The MBS Wellhead pack-off bushing lands on the casing

hanger to suspend and seal the intermediate casing

string(s).
The inner seal on the bushing is a D seal which is ener-

gized by plastic packing. This seal can be reenergized, if

necessary, throughout the life of the well. The outer seal
is radially energized.

Tubing Hangers
The MBS Wellhead tubing hanger lands on the pack-off

bushing and is locked in place with N lockdown screws.

Several alternative tubing hangers are available includ-

ing the coupling (HT, HT-2), tubingless (TLC), mandrel

(CXS, T), and dual (MB-CDT and MB-TLC). Control
line options are available for most applications. A comparison of these tubing hangers is available on the MBS
Tubing Hanger Comparison chart.

Tubing Head Adapter

The MBS tubing head adapter provides the connection

point for the Christmas Tree. It is available in several

types to fit individual applications.

Emergency Slip and Seal Assemblies

In the event that casing becomes stuck and slips must be

set, the upper casing spool may be lifted to install a sliptype hanger, cut off the casing and install the emergency
pack-off bushing assembly. This feature eliminates the
expensive, time consuming process of cutting pipe
inside the head with internal casing cutters.

Auxiliary Equipment
The MBS Wellhead System has a complement of installa-

tion tools including BOP test plugs, wear bushings and

handling tools.
