WhoWe Are
From Day One: Li st eni ng t o t he Cust omer. In August 1927, brothers Arthur and
Kirby Pennick of Houston founded Oil Center Tool (O-C-T) to produce pump liners and rods for the oilfields
of East Texas. In 1930, O-C-T introduced a new type of casing head and tubing head that was an
immediate success. O-C-T soon followed these innovations with another first. At the time, completion
wellheads (Christmas trees) were assembled and tested on-site an expensive, time-consuming and
dangerous practice. O-C-T had a better idea, along with better completion wellhead components. The
company introduced the first factory-assembled and tested Christmas tree, an innovation hailed as a
landmark in efficiency, safety and cost-effectiveness. After only a few years of operation, O-C-T was
on its way to setting the standard for the design, manufacture and service of the surface wellhead. The
company that would become part of FMC Energy Systems a quarter of a century later introduced one
innovation after another as it committed its resources to designing and manufacturing superior wellhead
systems for a growing roster of customers. Its been that way ever since.
O V E R V I E W
FMC Energy Systems and its predecessor,
O-C-T, have a long history of technological
innovations from the 5K wellhead in the
1930s to the first multiple-completion systems
of the 1940s to the first Unihead thru-bore
system and in subsequent decades, the
introduction of multiple-completion systems,
automatic casing hangers, Unitree, industry-
standard C22/29 casing heads, Speed Loc
clamps, subsea technology and the first
TLP/SPAR systems.

S A F E T Y F I R S T. When we partner with you to work out the specifics of your
wellhead requirements, the first topic on the agenda is always Safety.
Safe products and practices impact every aspect of the successful drilling
and completion of a well. With this in mind, FMC Surface Wellhead is
consistently the industry leader in safety.

Wellhead performance is about the perform-
ance of your valves and seals. Innovations in
valve design and in elastomer and metal-to-
metal seals technology, long experience in
engineering and servicing wellheads for Arctic
service and other extreme environments, and
state-of-the-art expertise in materials have
made FMC Surface Wellhead a leader in critical-
service applications, including:
Extreme Sour Service

Higher pressures, well-treatment
chemicals, hotter production and
longer frac times accelerate the wear
and tear on seals, reducing useful
life. And if one seal in a wellhead fails,
it can blow the budget with lost
production and workover time.
Elastomer Seals
Conventional O-ring elastomer seals
no longer meet the industrys stringent
design and safety criteria. FMC Surface
Wellhead has developed seals that
compensate for thermal expansion
and contraction, and the larger API
casing and tubing tolerances that
create increasingly difficult sealing
conditions. At the same time, weve
developed proprietary new elastomers
suited to the design parameters of
the new FMC Surface Wellhead seals,
providing the best combination of
mechanical properties and chemical
resistance. We design and manufac-
ture our elastomer seals.
Metal-to-Metal Seals
Our oilfield customers look to metal
seals as cost-effective technology for
extending service life and improving
production efficiency. In general, metal
seals last longer and provide more
reliable service, especially in critical
applications. FMC Surface Wellheads
patented bump metal seal is
regarded as the technological break-
through in metal seals for wellheads.
We manufacture both self-energized,
straight-bore, metal seals and
externally energized seals.
S E A L T E C H N O L O G Y
Anywhere in the world, in applications rang-
ing from mature low-pressure oilfields of
West Texas to critical-service environments
from the North Slope to the China Sea, FMC
Surface Wellhead is the first name in gate
valve technology. We are continually adding
value to our superb family of gate valves
by listening to your needs, applying engineer-
ing improvements to our proven products
and making them more cost-effective.
FMC Surface Wellhead offers all Model
100 Series Valves in independent loose-
valve configurations for wellhead, tree and
manifold applications. Model 100 series
valves can also be supplied in composite
block configurations for tree and boarding
valve applications to suit customers special
applications and requirements.

F MC K O N G S B E R G S U B S E A : SHARED TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES
FMCSurface Wellhead was born on land and migrated to the sea. As FMC Energy Systems grew and expanded, the
organization was restructured to concentrate like technologies and services into nine highly specialized operating units, includ-
ing FMC Surface Wellhead. Our sister enterprise, FMC Kongsberg Subsea, which is number one in its global market, grew
partly out of the original FMC/OCT wellhead technological group.
Today, FMC Surface Wellhead and other FMC Energy Systems operations and their customers benefit from the technology
advances developed by FMCs Energy Systems subsea unit, developing drilling and completion systems for seabed wells,
the most hostile of environments for oil and gas production. A notable example, our C22-EG Casing Spool. Its bowl protector
retaining subsea technology doesnt need costly lockdown screws, increasing safety by eliminating the need to work under
BOP and potential leak path.

Our company is proud to be recognized for its history of technological innovation and its reputa-
tion for custom-engineered drilling and completion wellhead systems. But thats only a narrow slice
of what FMC Surface Wellhead offers:
8
In 75 years of listening to your industry, our
company has developed a broad spectrum
of wellhead drilling and completion com-
ponents, systems and services. Our C-22
casing head components, for example,
introduced in 1962, quickly became the
industry standard for this class of product
and remain in high regard among company
men, drilling engineers and crews, even
as we continue to improve and enhance
this outstanding line.
For our customers, this broad range
of solutions translates into the convenience
of relying on a single source FMC
Surface Wellhead to supply you with
exactly what you need for your applica-
tion, no matter what it is, where it is, how
routine or how challenging.
For many wells, a standard flanged
API wellhead rated at 2,000 psi is the
best choice for the budget and risk
parameters. For deep critical-service
wells, reliability is the driver: a custom-
engineered project approach may be the
best solution. As location, depth, pres-
sures, number of completions per well
and other factors complicate the scope,
hazards and degree of difficulty of a
project, FMC Surface Wellhead is there
with a solution that optimizes performance
and minimizes your total well cost.

Designed to Save Time, requires only
one major Nipple-Up of the BOP
The OBS surface equipment used with
SD-1 mudline system has been designed
to save time in assembly and disassem-
bly of this unique drilling tool. The major
time savings occur when the well is
being abandoned. Access to the hanger
and packoff/support bushing can be
achieved by nippling down the connec-
tion at the casing head and lifting the
OBS system as a single unit.
The OBS surface wellhead has
three functions:
To suspend casing risers at the rig
To provide for annulus packoff seals
between casing risers
To support the BOP stack
When the OBS system is being
installed, all of the wellhead spools can
be installed as a single unit with the BOP
stack on top after installation of the
casing head and lowermost packoff/
support bushing. All subsequent casing
hangers and multifunction packoff/support
bushings can be installed without nippling
down the BOP stack or inserting addi-
tional casing spools.
In the system shown, additional time
savings are achieved through the use of
Speedloc II connections on the spools.
These connections allow easy and quick
access to install hangers and packoff/
support bushings. OBS surface equipment
is furnished with clamp connections for
21 1/4 2K, 13 5/8 5K and 13 5/8 10K.
CM-1
The CM-1 is a subsea tree utilized to complete
subsea wells on mudline suspension systems
for shallow waters to 400 feet.
Allows fast-track completions resulting in
early production.
Proven, cost effective solution for shallow-
water marginal field development.
Allows to tie back to most mudline suspen-
sion designs.

Since our days as O-C-T, weve led the industry in solutions that save rig time and enhance the safety of your operation. Both
those aspects were taken into account when we developed our Diverter Attachment wellhead product offering.
One of the inherent dangers of the industry is working under the Diverter/BOP stack when it is being installed or
removed. The features we have incorporated in our Diverter Attachment Assemblies greatly minimize the amount of time one
is required to spend on the wellhead deck during these operations.
Time savings were also a strong consideration taken into account during the development of our Diverter Attachment
assemblies. Depending on which design best fits your application, we have incorporated such features as no requirement
to wait on cement to set, elimination of hot work, ability to land multiple casing strings without nippling down and the
speed associated with the installation and removal of the Slip Loc and Speedloc
quick connections. Depending on which

design is selected, the operator could achieve between 6 and 36 hours of rig time-savings.
Sl i p Loc Bot t om wi t h 2-St ep Wel l head f or At t achi ng t o t he Di vert er Assembl y:
Descri pt i on
The diverter wellhead assembly attaches to the conductor pipe by the use of the
time-saving Slip Loc connection. The wellhead is provided with two load shoulders
that allow the operator to land and pack off both conductor and surface casing with-
out ever needing to nipple down.
Feat ures and Benef i t s
The wellhead bottom is equipped with a Slip Loc connection and the top with
a Speedloc
connection. Both these connections save considerable rig time dur-

ing installation.
Seals the well bore while drilling out for conductor and surface casing.
If used in conjunction with a mechanical casing cutter, this design eliminates
the need for welding; thus there are no longer the dangers associated with
hot work. Further, adjacent wells do not have to be shut in during installation.
The conductor casing string is landed, packed off and tested prior to cementing.
If it is desired that returns be taken across the shale shaker, a flow loop can be
installed during the cementing operation.
The surface casing is landed on the upper load shoulder with a fluted hanger
for flow by. Once cementing operations are complete, the pack off is run, locked
in place and tested prior to nippling down.
The diverter riser assembly is removed and subsequent wellheads installed
with the use of the Speedloc
connection, which is designed to save valuable

rig time.
Available in Slip Loc or butt-weld prep for 30, 26 & 24 drive pipe.

Adapter Head:
Descri pt i on
The Slip Loc diverter adapter/attachment contains a profile for an independent and
inexpensive load shoulder to be contained between the casing and the adapter. After
drilling out and landing the surface casing, the Slip Loc diverter adapter can be
removed and the subsequent casing head attached to the mandrel hanger.
Seals the well bore while drilling out for surface casing.
The surface hanger is landed on load shoulder. Since the casing is landed, there
is no need to wait further for cement to set up.
Saves rig time associated with welding on a flange to attach the diverter and with
removal of the flange once the surface casing has been landed.
Slip Loc diverter adapter can easily and quickly be removed after landing surface
casing. The adapter can remain attached to the drilling riser system for subse-
quent wells.
Available in 20 & 13-3/8. Other sizes can be manufactured on request.
Socket -Wel d Landi ng Ri ng wi t h Di vert er Qui ck Connect :
Descri pt i on
A diverter landing ring is welded to the drive or conductor pipe. The diverter attachment
with the diverter is lowered over the neck of the adapter and locked into place.
Surface hanger can be provided with or without annulus seals.
The diverter attachment can be easily and quickly removed by simply backing
out the bolts around the circumference of the attachment, thus saving valuable
rig time.
The attachment can remain on the drilling riser system for subsequent wells.
Available in 26, 24, 20, 18-5/8 & 16. Other sizes can be manufactured
on request.

Description: Slip-type casing hangers provide a method to transfer the weight or tension load
of a casing string to a casing head or spool. Slip-type hangers are available in automatic-sealing
and nonautomatic-sealing varieties. Automatic hangers have seals which are energized by
casing weight, while nonautomatic hangers have seals which require means other than casing
weight to be energized. Nonautomatic hangers are typically used when insufficient casing load
is available or when cementing back to the surface.

Description: To reduce installation time and wellhead equipment size, FMC Surface Wellhead
uses clamp devices in place of flange connections for wellheads. The Speedloc
Clamp consists
of a series of segments which are mechanically isolated from one another, permitting each seg-
ment to act as an independent clamp. These clamp segments pull the integral mating hubs
together as the nuts are tightened. The contact surface between the segments and the hubs acts
as a ramp to maximize vertical clamping force.
C l a m p s
FMC Surface Wellheads integral Speedloc Clamps can be pre-installed on wellheads, BOPs and
other drill-thru components with no rig assembly time required. One person can make up all sizes
of Speedloc Clamps in less than 10 minutes. The increased strength and reliability of Speedloc
Segmented Clamps over two-piece clamps help ensure safety in the field by greatly reducing the
risk of a failure. Other factors inherent in the design of the Speedloc Clamp that help maximize
personnel and rig safety include the elimination of special tools, handling devices and loose parts,
minimizing time and exposure of service personnel in the area of the wellhead.
FMC Surface Wellhead currently offers two versions of the Speedloc design:
Speedloc I:
Proven worldwide, Speedloc
Clamps are available in nominal sizes from 7 1/16 to 21 1/4 inches

for standard and sour-gas services to 20,000 psi. They provide distinct mechanical and operational
advantages over alternative connectors, and are ideal for high-temperature applications.
Straight-bore metal seal
Speedloc-I Segmented Clamps use FMC Surface Wellheads patented straight-bore metal seal
(SBMS) rather than the standard API seal (R, RX or BX) found in other wellhead connectors.
The SBMS seal is preloaded radially during assembly as the clamp segments pull the mating hubs
together. Therefore, the Speedloc Clamp does not require further vertical preload to generate
a seal. Sealing integrity is maintained by radial compression of the seal against the machine
surfaces of the seal pocket. Fluctuations in vertical end loads and externally applied bending
moments do not affect the function of the seal.
Speedloc-I Clamps provide high bending moment and shear-resistance capacities, far exceed-
ing conventional two-piece clamps in strength. Under well pressure conditions, the total load is
distributed equally between the Speedloc-I Clamps studs, with only moderate torque required for
full stud preload. The loss of a single Speedloc-I Clamp stud results in only 8.3% drop in clamp
preload, therefore maintaining 91.7% of the installed connectors preload. In contrast, if one stud
fails on a two-piece clamp, failure of the entire clamp could occur.
26FMC3(pg20-33)_4.6.04 6/26/04 10:22 AM Page 13
31
Speedloc II:
Proven worldwide, Speedloc-II Clamps are available in sizes from 7 1/16 to 21 1/4 inches for stan-
dard or sour-gas services to 20,000 psi, 0
o
F to 250
o
F, providing mechanical and operational advan-
tages over other connectors.
Superior clamping by design
The Speedloc-II Clamp consists of a series of segments which are mechanically isolated from one
another, permitting each segment to act as an independent clamp. The Speedloc II uses a travel
nut with a retainer bolt to secure the segments onto the hub. When the travel nuts are being
loosened, the retainer bolts keep the nuts and segments together, causing the nuts to positively
retract the segments. The Speedloc-II nut threads are coated to provide a lower coefficient
of friction, reducing make-up torque and dramatically increasing thread life. The result: you get
enhanced clamping and higher end load capacities in a compact, preassembled design with
significant safety advantages.
Mates with conventional clamp hubs
FMC Surface Wellheads Speedloc-II Clamps mate to conventional clamp hubs using API RX or BX
ring gaskets. The design allows for interface between FMC Surface Wellhead and existing conven-
tional clamp hub equipment. The Speedloc II can also be provided with FMC Surface Wellheads
straight-bore metal seal (SBMS) for special applications.
Speedloc-II Clamps maximize strength by distributing total load equally between the clamps
studs, with only moderate torque required for full preload. Speedloc-II Clamps typically have 12 or
16 studs, depending on the size, versus two or four studs in conventional clamps. As a result,
the Speedloc IIs studs are smaller in diameter for the same load-bearing capacity, and require
significantly less torque for installation.

Developed to allow operators to continue production
from natural-lift oil and gas wells without major
workovers. FMC Energy Systems has experienced
various applications of coiled tubing, including
uses as initial production tubing to replace the
jointed pipe, and use as a velocity string in existing
completions, being snubbed into an existing well,
artificial lift, gas lift, ESP completions and dual
concentric strings.

works well for applications where high production rates
deplete rapidly and a siphon string is to be added at a
later date to further enhance production. The smaller tub-
ing head flange allows for economical temporary tubing-
less completions and for traditional tubing completions.
This type of completion eliminates the need for wellhead
isolation tools and tree savers during the well fracturing
job, saving time and money. The system supports stan-
dard jointed tubing or coiled tubing completions.
Available up to 15,000 psi wells.

Description: The tubing head is the top spool on a surface wellhead assembly. It is installed
after the last casing string to provide a load shoulder to support the tubing string and a seal bore
for the tubing hanger or production casing/tubing annulus seal. When the well is completed, the
tree is installed on top of the tubing head with a tubing head adapter.
T u b i n g H e a d s
Funct i ons
Provide a load shoulder inside the head to support tubing hangers and packoffs.
Provide a controlled bore against which the hanger or packoff can seal.
Provide for a secondary annulus seal around the top of the previous casing string. (See
Bottom-Bowl Packoffs in this section.)
Provide access to the annulus between the tubing string and the production casing.
Provide a means to support and test BOPs while completing the well.
TC-Seri es Tubi ng Heads
FMC TC-Series tubing heads have a straight-bore profile which is compatible with all FMC single-
and multiple-string tubing hangers and packoffs. These heads are available in four basic styles; the
only functional difference between the styles is the number and type of aligning pins, which are
used to align multiple-string or specialty tubing hangers.
Feat ures
Has a straight-bore design compatible with all TC-Series tubing hangers.
All TC-Series tubing heads with a 9-inch or larger top flange also accept the FMC C-29 casing
hanger for casing completions.
Valve removal (VR) threads are standard on all flanged or studded outlets.
Benef i t s
Wedge locking of bowl protector, BOP test plugs and tubing hangers is eliminated.
Seal bore is less likely to be damaged during drilling.
Straight bore is more economical to recondition after abandonment.
TCM-ET
TCM-ET
The TCM-ET tubing head has no aligning pins. It is compatible only with single-string TC-Series
tubing hangers and packoffs. The TCM can be upgraded to a TC-60-ET or TC-ET head by adding

Description: The tubing head is the top spool on a surface wellhead assembly. It is installed
after the last casing string to provide a load shoulder to support the tubing string and a seal bore
for the tubing hanger or production casing/tubing annulus seal. When the well is completed, the
tree is installed on top of the tubing head with a tubing head adapter.
T u b i n g H e a d s
Funct i ons
Provide a load shoulder inside the head to support tubing hangers and packoffs.
Provide a controlled bore against which the hanger or packoff can seal.
Provide for a secondary annulus seal around the top of the previous casing string. (See
Bottom-Bowl Packoffs in this section.)
Provide access to the annulus between the tubing string and the production casing.
Provide a means to support and test BOPs while completing the well.
TC-Seri es Tubi ng Heads
FMC TC-Series tubing heads have a straight-bore profile which is compatible with all FMC single-
and multiple-string tubing hangers and packoffs. These heads are available in four basic styles; the
only functional difference between the styles is the number and type of aligning pins, which are
used to align multiple-string or specialty tubing hangers.
Feat ures
Has a straight-bore design compatible with all TC-Series tubing hangers.
All TC-Series tubing heads with a 9-inch or larger top flange also accept the FMC C-29 casing
hanger for casing completions.
Valve removal (VR) threads are standard on all flanged or studded outlets.
Benef i t s
Wedge locking of bowl protector, BOP test plugs and tubing hangers is eliminated.
Seal bore is less likely to be damaged during drilling.
Straight bore is more economical to recondition after abandonment.
TCM-ET
TCM-ET
The TCM-ET tubing head has no aligning pins. It is compatible only with single-string TC-Series
tubing hangers and packoffs. The TCM can be upgraded to a TC-60-ET or TC-ET head by adding
the necessary aligning pins at an FMC Energy Systems facility.

TC-ET
The TC-ET tubing head has one aligning pin and accepts all TC-Series tubing hangers and packoffs
except the TC-60 dual-split hanger. It can be upgraded to a TC-60-ET by adding two aligning pins
at an FMC Energy Systems facility.
TC-60-ET
The TC-60-ET is the most versatile tubing head in the oilfield. It has three aligning pins and is
compatible with all TC-Series tubing hangers and packoffs, including the TC-60 dual-split hanger.
When last-minute completion changes are possible, the T-60-ET is a good investment because
no shop modification is needed to adapt it to any type of tubing completion.
TC-WD-ET
The TC-WD-ET tubing head has an internal wedge that is used for alignment on specific TC-Series
tubing hangers. This particular design allows for alignment of multiple-string tubing hangers without
external manipulation methods. TC-WD-ET tubing hangers are generally considered specific to
particular customers requirements and can be run only in the TC-WD-ET tubing head. FMC hangers
that normally are aligned with pins (TC or TC-60 type) will not function in the TC-WD-ET head.

Bottom Connections
Bolt-through flange, studded flange and clamp-hub connections are available. The type and pressure
rating used must match the top flange of the previous casing spool or crossover flange. Bolt-through
flange connections are the most popular and economical type of connection in certain parts of the
world. Clamp-hub connections are sometimes specified, because they are much faster to make up
and because they reduce the diameter and weight of the assembly when space limitations are present.
Top Connections
FMC Surface Wellhead tubing heads have either bolt-through flange or clamp-hub top connections,
which are compatible with all FMC tubing head adapters. The producing pressure of the well
normally determines the pressure rating of the top connection.
Lockdown Screws
Most FMC Surface Wellhead Series tubing heads have a series of lockdown screws in the top flange
(unless customer or application requires otherwise). These lockdown screws have three functions:
to actuate compression-type hanger or packoff seals
to lock down the hanger or packoff to prevent movement caused by thermal expansion of the
tubing string during production
to lock down the hanger in the event of annulus pressure
NOTES:
Where customer preferences or applications do not allow the use of lockdown screws, internally
locking mechanisms are utilized. See section on Completion Solutions.

Bottom-Bowl Packoffs (secondary seals)
Tubing head bottom-bowl packoffs are used to seal around the production casing stub in the bottom
bowl of the tubing head. They are often referred to as secondary seals. The various packoff types
are described below:
Double FS Seals
This design consists of two elastomeric-shaped seals located in grooves in the bottom of the tubing
head. A seal is achieved by interference of the seal with the outside diameter of the casing and
the bottom or OD of its retaining groove. A spring molded in each inside corner of the seal provides
an anti-extrusion mechanism when sealing against pressure by bridging the gap between the tubing
outside diameter and casing head seal bore. The shape of the seal allows it flexibility to maintain
sealing interference with the large variations in tubing outside diameter.
PI Seals
These seals consist of a T-cap seal element, nonextrusion rings and a receiver ring. These components
will fit the HPE bottom prep configuration. The PI seal is designed for use up to 15,000 psi working
pressure and temperatures up to 75
o
F or as low as -50
o
F, depending on the elastomer selected.
It provides the proper compression and squeeze even with the larger API casing tolerances. The
design effectively intensifies the annulus pressure and thus the internal stress in the elastomer to
minimize the effects of explosive decompression.
SBMS-II Seals
This metal-to-metal seal consists of a U-shaped ring with a bump sealing surface at the outside
and inside legs of the U. When installed, the entry ramp compresses the legs of the U inward
and creates contact stress in each bump that provides the seal. This seal requires the casing
stub OD to be field machined after the casing is hung to provide the proper sealing tolerances and
surface finish. This is accomplished with a portable pneumatic-driven tool. It is good for tempera-
tures ranging from -75
o
F to 1200
o
F.
RCMS Seals
The Rough Casing Metal Seal (RCMS) is designed to use up to 20,000 psi. This seal does not
require special machining of the casing stub; is compatible with temperatures from -20
o
F to 350
o
F
in corrosive environments; does not require special installation tools and is simple to install; is
NACE compatible; is compatible with casing spool and tubing spool strength; is compatible with
casing string strength properties.
NOTES:
TC-Series packoffs are usually installed in the tubing head prior to shipment. FMC tubing heads are also
available with threaded bottom preparations in some sizes and pressure ratings.
Available to meet all appropriate API-6A requirements.

Description: The tubing head adapter provides a transition between the Christmas tree and the
tubing head. The bottom adapter connection matches the tubing head, and the top adapter con-
nection matches the tree. Tubing head adapters are available for all types of single- and multi-
ple-string completions, including those using electric submersible pumps, packers, downhole
control valves and gas lift valves. These adapters come with threaded, flanged or studded-flanged
top connections. Most tubing head adapters are available with hydraulic supply inlets for down-
hole control lines. If the customer requires, FMC Surface Wellhead also supplies various types
of adapters that will accommodate continuous control-line capabilities. Following you will find
the most generally used.

A-4-D
Single-Seal Bore Adapter
A4
Basic Adapters
They provide only a transition between the tubing head and the tree. These adapters do not hang
the tubing or provide a controlled seal bore. Basic tubing head adapters have a smooth seal bore
and are used when tubing is suspended from the tubing hanger. They are designed for low-pres-
sure completions where downhole line or tubing strings manipulation are not required. The basic
adapter is normally installed with the tree after tubing is run.
Simple transition piece between the tubing head and the tree
Used with a TC-1A tubing hanger
Available with threaded, flanged or studded top connection
Seal Bore Adapters
Seal bore adapters have the inside diameter machined to provide a controlled seal bore for an
extended-neck tubing hanger or a seal nipple. They are available with a test port and/or a hydraulic
supply inlet for downhole control lines. Like basic adapters, they are normally installed with the tree.
Provides a seal bore for the TC-1A-ENS extended neck (Single-Seal Bore)
Provides seal bores for the seal nipples on dual-completion tubing hangers (Dual-Seal Bore)
Available with SCSSV control line inlets
Studded top connection only
ESP Adapters
ESP adapters have seal bores to accommodate both a tubing hanger neck seal and an electrical
power feed-thru device. Standard ESP adapters are equipped with rotating flanges to mate to the
tubing head, minimizing concerns over alignment issues. Positive alignment can be obtained
through the use of optional features in the mating ESP hanger. ESP adapters can be supplied to
match standard tubing heads rated to 3,000 and 5,000 psi working pressure.
ESP Adapter
26FMC5(pg42-53)_26.6.04 6/26/04 11:17 AM Page 9

Provides sealing bore for a variety of electrical feed-thru configurations, including penetrators,
cable packoffs and continuous feed-thru penetrator mandrels.
Provides reliable seal bores for tubing hanger neck or seal sleeves.
Provides rotating attachment flange for ease of alignment to ESP hanger and tubing head flange.
Tubing Suspension Adapters
These adapters provide a means to hang the tubing via tubing threads machined in the lower-con-
nection inside diameter. The tubing threads can be used to suspend tubing when an operator wants
to reciprocate tubing, but does not require a back-pressure valve in the tubing hanger. These
adapters do not provide a seal. They are normally used on low-pressure completions with a wrap-
around packoff or stripper.
For use with the TC-1W, these adapters have tubing threads to suspend the tubing string
Available top connections are male thread, female thread or studded.
Coupling Adapters
Coupling adapters provide a means to suspend the tubing in conjunction with a special coupling.
They provide a lower connection for the tubing head and an upper connection for the tree and are
used with a tubing coupling, which suspends the tubing and accepts a back-pressure valve. It is
used for high-pressure completions where the operator wants to manipulate tubing through a
wraparound packoff or stripper and needs a back-pressure valve and/or a hydraulic supply inlet for
downhole control lines. An ACME thread is machined into the adapters bottom inside diameter to
be utilized in conjunction with the coupling to hang the tubing. Then it can be screwed onto the
coupling. When a tree is trimmed for critical service, a coupling adapter with a coupling nut is
available to prevent possible galling of threads between the adapter and coupling on makeup.

FMC Surface Wellhead TC-Series tubing hangers are available for any type of single- or multiple-
string tubing completion, including those requiring packers, subsurface safety valves, gas-lift
valves and electric submersible pumps. All FMC Surface Wellhead hangers can be run through the
blowout preventers, allowing the well to be secured before the preventers are removed.
Most TC-Series tubing hangers accept a back-pressure valve, which seals the tubing bore.
These BPV profiles may be of FMC Surface Wellhead design or they may be of another manufac-
turers design, depending upon the customers requirements. Some hangers are ported for
hydraulic control lines, downhole safety valves or other equipment as required by the customer.
Si ngl e- St r i ng Tubi ng Hanger s
Most TC-Series single-string hangers do not require aligning pins and are compatible with any TC-
Series tubing head. Generally speaking, alignment pins will not be required unless there is a need
to orient a hanger a particular way. An example of this might be when an additional line is being
run with the tubing string and needs to be ported through a particular position in the tubing spool.
Description: Tubing hangers are installed in the top bowl of a tubing head. Tubing hangers both
suspend tubing and provide a primary annulus seal between the tubing and production casing.
Hangers are run through the blowout preventers and are landed in the top bowl of the tubing
head. Tubing hangers are available for any type of tubing completion. Tubing hangers also act as
a means to access and manipulate additional smaller tubing lines that are utilized downhole and
extended to the surface on the outside of the tubing string or strings. Packoffs allow tubing
string manipulation for setting packers or displacing fluid while sealing the annulus between the
tubing and the production casing.
T u b i n g H a n g e r s
TC-1A
The TC-1A is a threaded tubing hanger with an integral compression-type annulus seal that is
actuated by string weight and or by lockdown screws. This hanger is also known as a threaded
mandrel-type hanger and is considered one of the most basic and least expensive hangers in FMC
Surface Wellheads TC product line.
TC-1W
The TC-1W is a split, wraparound packoff that allows tubing-string manipulation to displace fluid
while maintaining complete control of annular pressure. Like all TC-Series packoffs, tubing string
weight must be suspended from a tubing suspension adapter or coupling adapter. The TC-1W has a
compression-type seal which is actuated by lockdown screws.
TC-1A TC-1W

Accepts control lines and injection tubing.
Either interference-type seal rings or compression-type packoff (actuated by lockdown screws).
Accepts FMC back-pressure valve and tree test plug.
TC-1A-ENS
The TC-1A-ENS is a threaded mandrel-type tubing hanger with an extended neck. This hanger
utilizes S-type seals on its neck that are used to seal inside the tubing head adapter that will be
installed directly above the hanger upon completion of the well. Additionally, this hanger is provided
with compression-type seals on the body that generally incorporate wire mesh-type non-extrusion
devices above and below the seal. Lockdown screws are used.
Extended-seal neck with interference-type seals isolates the tubing head/adapter connection
from well pressure and provides for control-line porting if required.
FMC Surface Wellhead ISA back-pressure valve preparation is standard.
Interference-type annulus seals instead of compression-type for 5,000 psi working pressure

BO-2 Coupling
A BO-2 coupling-type tubing hanger uses a one-piece coupling that is externally threaded with a
coarse heavy-duty ACME thread. Internally the coupling will provide tubing threads in the top and
bottom along with a back-pressure valve groove. The BO-2 coupling is attached to the last tubing
joint and is run in conjunction with a TC-1W wraparound-type packoff. Ultimately, the BO-2 cou-
pling is made up into a BO-2 adapter that is assembled on the bottom of the Christmas tree.
Threaded coupling is used in conjunction with the BO-2 tubing head adapter for high-pressure
completions requiring both string manipulation with BOP protection and SCSSV control lines.
Requires a TC-1W wraparound annulus seal.
FMC Surface Wellhead ISA back-pressure valve preparation is standard.
BO-10 Coupling
The BO-10 coupling-type tubing hanger is generally utilized on completions demanding higher
completion shut-in pressures. This hanger is a coupling by design but also incorporates a separate
rotating, ACME-threaded locking nut. This design is also attached to the last tubing joint, and is
run in conjunction with a TC-1W wraparound-type packoff. Ultimately, the BO-10 coupling is made
up into a BO-10 adapter that is assembled on the bottom of the Christmas tree.
Coupling nut allows the BO-10 coupling to be installed without rotation of the tree, making it
the choice for heavy trees or where dissimilar metals could cause galling problems.
Requires a TC-1W for annulus seal.
TC ESP
The TC ESP hanger is dual-ported, with one port designed to accept a single production tubing
string. The second port is designed to accommodate the electrical conductors that pass the cur-
rent between the surface cable and the subsurface cable that goes to the pump.
The TC ESP hanger is designed for 7 1/16"- 3,000/5,000 and 11"- 3,000/5,000 flange sizes. We
standardized on EUE thread configurations. Nevertheless, additional thread profiles and different
configurations can be supplied. While configurations and designs may differ with customer require-
ments, the basic design concepts stay the same.
Has redundant B Type S seals on the body of the hanger.
No alignment groove. It has an attachable alignment plate on the bottom of the hanger when
alignment is required.
No threads for penetrator makeup. Penetrator will be equipped with a jam nut on the bottom
of the penetrator to hold in the hanger body.
Benef i t s
Can easily convert an existing flowing well to an ESP without the need to change out the tubing
head. Can utilize a TCM-type tubing head.
Can convert a finished hanger with a QCI penetrator profile to accept a BIW penetrator.

Penetrator does not require rotation for makeup. Eliminates the potential of seal or thread
damage when rotation of penetrator is necessary.
Multiple-String Tubing Hangers and Packoffs
TC-Series multiple-string hangers and packoffs permit the independent suspension and sealing of
multiple-tubing strings, allowing simultaneous production or injection to or from separate zones.
They require one or two aligning pins in the tubing head bowl and are compatible with either TC or
TC-60 tubing heads. The TC-60 split-type hanger may be run only in the TC-60 tubing head.
TC-60 Dual-Split Hanger TC-2C
TC-60 Dual-Split Hanger
The TC dual-split hanger is an easy-to-run split hanger with an integral compression-type packoff. The
packoff seal is actuated by lockdown screws before the blowout preventers are removed. No plastic injec-
tion is required. With the TC-60 dual-split hanger, tubing strings can be run and pulled independently,
allowing maximum clearance for gas-lift or subsurface safety valves. Each segment accepts a back-pres-
sure valve and is available with control-line preparations for surface-controlled subsurface safety valves.
Feat ures
Allows tubing string to be run and pulled independently.
Provides for maximum clearance for gas-lift valves, SCSSV and packers.
FMC Surface Wellhead ISA back-pressure-valve preparation in each hanger half is standard.
Tubing head must have the dual TC-60 aligning pins.
TC-2C Dual Completion
Has threaded, coupling-type multi string hanger.
Allows tubing strings to be run separately or simultaneously; tubing can be rotated to
manipulate packers.
Each accepts a back-pressure valve.
Annulus and sleeve seals are interference-type.
Tubing head must have the single aligning pin.
Hydraulic Control-Line Preparation
The TC-1A-EN tubing hanger and the TC-60 dual-split-type tubing hangers are available with hydraulic control
line ports for surface-controlled subsurface safety valves or injection tubing. The TC-1W packoff and the BO-
2 adapter/coupling with concentric tubing joint can also accommodate a subsurface safety valve.Control-line
ports may be either threaded with seal sleeves or continuous, depending upon customer requirements.

Kome ( Chad)
A major oil company faced a substantial logistical challenge when it developed an oil-
field in a region of Africa with no established oilfield infrastructure and remote
from existing shipping channels. This operator wanted the most reliable enhanced-
recovery surface wellhead technology on the market for the venture and looked to
FMC Energy Systems to provide it. Our company has years of experience throughout
Africa and knew the most reliable choice of technology the customer would require in
Chad. We recommended a field-proven ESP system, including our industry-standard
Model 120 gate valves, HNBR FMC-molded S & FS elastomer seals,
and FMC C22 casing head, another industry standard. Each of these components
has delivered at least 15 years outstanding field performance.

There are moments when the challenge is not the environment, the pressure or
the reliability. Shallow, marginal low-pressure well production dictates a very tight
budget. The oil company then needs to maximize its use of customer property
and to utilize the adequate technology to match its application. There is not extra
cash for any luxury beyond the basic requirements. At FMC Surface Wellhead we
listened to market situations and decided to develop our FH line with tapered bowl
and exclusive elastomer seal design to stay on budget.

Our customers infield drilling program needed to minimize his rig time for multiple
shallow wells (with surface casing pressures less than 5,000 psi) and to improve
safety. FMC Surface Wellheads solution was the DTO
wellhead, which delivers

significant time savings by eliminating a number of steps in the traditional drilling
process and reducing time required for other steps. The ideal situation for using
the DTO would be a single rig thats drilling multiple consecutive wells by using
a common casing program. Each rig is outfitted with a DTO diverter connector
fabricated into a diverter riser. The assembly stays with the rig for the drilling
project, and it is used on each well. A DTO drilling spool connector is assembled
into the rig BOP and is moved with the rig from well to well.
Eliminates steps in the drilling process.
Offers time savings during nipple up/down of the BOPs stack, landing casing
hanger and installing the tubing head.
Increases safety by eliminating the need for cutting torches and
hammer wrenches.
Locking ring design on drilling spool provides 360 degrees engagement to
increase load capacity and reduce fatigue.
Contingency systems for stuck pipe retains system benefits and time
savings.
Tests production casing seals prior to removal of BOP.
Load capacity of surface casing hanger exceeds joint strength.

This major European-based oil company planned to develop a high-flow-rate, corrosive
field in Borneo. Not only does this company uphold the highest standards for safety of
crew and environment, but it would be operating in a part of the globe that it had not
previously explored. The company came to FMC Energy Systems for its reputation as a
worldwide supplier familiar with the Far East and the challenges of working here, and
known for the high reliability of our wellhead systems. Energy Systems sales engineers
recommended technology appropriate to the highest standard required, a fully featured
system with metal-to-metal seals and Speedloc
connections. We knew this would be

the best cost-to-risk choice for the customer, who would not have to be concerned
about the equipment performance over the life of the field. They also felt such a system
would be easier and safer to install and safer over the life of the wells, and that it would
save them rig time during installation.

Nor t h Sea ( Nor way )
When a major oil company planned to develop a North Sea field, it estimated a 30-
year minimum lifetime for the field and projected future production with water cuts and
gas penetration. The field would have 12 tie-back wells (predrilled wells from a semi
prior to installing the platform) and was planned for production, gas-injection and
water-injection wells. Moreover, the field is regulated by strict API6A and NORSOK
standards. Needing reliable, flexible, cost-effective drilling and production solutions,
this company came to FMC Energy Systems as we are the most experienced well-
head supplier in the North Sea for both surface and subsea applications. Our engi-
neers proposed a fully featured surface system using thru-bore technology, including
proven UWD 15 subsea technology, with the flexibility of switching from production to
injection without changing trees. FMC Energy Systems Norway operations allow the
customer to carry smaller inventories of equipment and parts, short lead time and
ready access to engineers and technicians experienced in North Sea operations.
Thru-bore system with minimal installation time for risers and BOP. Installation
time reduced by implementing field-proven subsea UWD 15 casing hangers and
packoffs.
Top-of-the-line materials and cladding assure equipment will last through the life of
the well with minimum maintenance and lost production.
Has metal-to-metal seals, UWD 15 technology.
Switch from production to injection without changing out trees.
By having the 18 3/4 casing landed in the starting head, the operator can easily
change out the 13, 9 and 7 tubing and Unihead
when the well needs slot

This project in the China Seas Ya Cheng field, which supplies gas energy to
Hong Kong, presented the challenges of critical conditions: high corrosive,
high temperature, fire resistant, severe weather, large-bore production, high
reliability and a long life cycle to reduce the need for workovers. Our state-of-
the-art dry tree system, the UWD-15, is an excellent example of our quest
to design highly reliable wellheads for difficult environments and conditions
and still contain costs. Developed out of our subsea wellhead technology,
the UWD-15 is a 15,000 psi wellhead that combines advanced technology for
high-pressure and hazardous-service environments. All seals are metal-to-
metal, with the UWD-15 packoff providing the basis for annular sealing. This
packoff does not rely on the tubing hanger weight to energize and can be
removed separately from the tubing hanger. It utilizes an SBMS seal at the
tubing hanger neck as standard. The seat is recessed to help ensure that
the seal contact surface is not damaged when the packoff is installed.
The design includes a fire-safe envelope for the upper master valve to the
annulus A.
The 15,000 psi wp UWD-15 Wellhead System minimizes leak path

Injecting 1.2 million cubic feet of nitrogen per day into a formation
through a 9 bore is a major challenge to face with traditional solu-
tions. The limited available height and weight on the platform plus
the handling of a 9 Christmas tree during installation and workover
ruled out a conventional production wellhead solution. Our engineers
who have platform working experience understood better than other
suppliers the operational challenge, and proposed the first horizontal
wellhead tree system of its size in the Gulf of Mexico.

Fragmented reservoirs requiring multiple interventions are a major challenge
due to the reduced space on platforms, especially when, as in this example,
you need to complete (or abandon) wells and perform interventions without
disturbing adjacent wells. For such challenges, FMC Surface Wellhead
has developed a Side-By-Side (SXS) Wellhead System for optimization of
space on new platforms or workovers on existing platforms. The SXS also
accommodates configurations involving a combination of single and dual
completions inside a single conductor.
Allows installing either a 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 well configuration inside a single
conductor, sized from 26 OD onwards to suit requirements.
Eliminates the need for additional conductor pipe. This creates up-front
savings and reduces abandonment costs.
Allows the use of standard drill-bit sizes.
Independent Tubing Heads (Unihead
) allow greatest flexibility in

choosing wells to complete or abandon and to perform independent
intervention, entry and re-entry without disturbing adjacent wells or flow
lines. The wellheads are installed with full BOP protection. This system
promotes time saving through batch drilling and drilling with reduced
rig move time.
Maximize platform size and the use of well slots on the platform. For
existing wells, the SXS wellhead maximizes the use of existing spare
well slots.

By far the most experienced suppliers of TLP/SPAR systems in the Gulf of Mexico,
we also installed the deepest and most fire-resistant SPAR in the Gulf.
As certain platforms are designed to move with water action, every element
connected to the sea floor becomes an integral part of a dynamic system and
requires specialized wellhead solutions like our TLP/SPAR systems. From the initial
stages of your project, we can help you decide to go with a wet or a dry tree.
Example: If youre facing a fragmented reservoir offshore and must execute multiple
interventions, economics indicate a surface tree.
FMC Surface Wellhead installed the first TLP/SPAR system in the Gulf of Mexico
during the 1980s and has been the leader in this technology since, installing more
systems worldwide than our competitors combined.
Special slip-lock assembly securely attaches wellhead to riser.

FMC Surface Wellheads Series 100 Gate Valves have successfully met customer demands for per-
formance, endurance and ease of maintenance since their introduction in 1984. Available in working
pressures from 2,000 to 20,000 psi, these metal-seal gate valves provide bubble-tight operation
throughout their rated pressure and temperature ranges. Sizes, configurations and materials are
available for virtually any application.
Model 100 Series Valves by far exceed the requirements of API 6A. Model 120, Model 125,

Metal-to-Metal seal design
FMC Surface Wellheads Series 100 gate valves use a
precision-machined floating slab gate and seat design that
provides a fully energized metal-to-metal seal between the
gate and seat surfaces at all times. A Belleville spring behind
each seat keeps the seat in contact with the gate to ensure
effective sealing at very low pressures. These fully symmetrical
valves effectively seal against flow in either direction.
Even though the seats float in their respective pockets, the
downstream seat still creates a metal-to-metal seal against the
body when the valve is closed. The back face of each seat has
FMC Surface Wellheads exclusive double-bump profile (right
figure). As the valve closes, line pressure forces the gate
against the downstream seat, which in turn is driven against
the back of the pocket, where the double bumps form a gas-tight,
metal-to-metal seal.

Key features to ensure reliability for the life of the valve are:
Metal-to-metal sealed bonnet assembly: Separate weather seals on the Series 100 valve bonnet assemblies isolate the stem, stem
bearings, packing nut and other internal components from external environment.
Heavy-duty stem bearings: Dual stem bearings support all axial loading on the stem. These low-friction, tapered roller bearings also help
reduce operating torque.
High-strength stem threads: Standard ACME threads offer high shear strength and high contact area for maximum endurance. A separate
gate-lift nut contains the mating threads instead of the gate itself. This flexible design permits optimum stem/lift nut material combinations and
allows the gate to float independently from the stem. In the unlikely event of thread damage, only the nut or stem needs to be replaced.
Stem shear pin: The stem is protected against accidental twist-off by the stem shear-pin. The pin can be quickly replaced without disassem-
bling the valve bonnet.
Close-fitting gate guides: Stainless-steel gate guides stay within a few thousands of an inch of the gate, acting as mud skirts to minimize
well fluids, sand and mud from entering the valve body as the gate opens and closes.

Description: The Type HP-PN Pneumatic Piston Actuator is a ratio-piston-type actuator
mounted on a reverse-acting gate valve. The HP-PN Pneumatic Actuator is designed to be fail-
safe and fail-close. When installed as part of a safety system, it will automatically close with
the loss of control pressure and will open automatically when the control pressure is restored.

HP PN Pneumatic Piston Actuator
FMC Surface Wellhead offers its own actuator product line that includes
the HPPN Pneumatic Piston, the HPHYW Hydraulic Wire Shear Actuator
and the HPHY Hydraulic Piston Actuator. This design has been
proven worldwide in the field for more than 35 years.
Desi gn Feat ures of t he FMC Surf ace Wel l head Pneumat i c and
Hydraul i c Act uat ors:
The actuator is fail-safe/fail-close because it will close with the loss of control pressure, with or
without pressure in the valve body.
Heavy-duty coated spring package is designed to provide closing force at zero or low pressure.
Actuators are designed with back-seat capability.
Designed to accept our full range of accessories, i.e., stem protectors, fusible lockout caps, etc.
Quick-disconnect design and spring box design reduces time required during maintenance
operations.

Funct i ons
Actuators are used on secondary master valve and/or wing valve of a Christmas tree, flow
lines, header valves, gathering lines and pipelines.
As part of a surface safety system, the actuator will shut off flow from the well in the event of a
catastrophic event.
The HP-PN surface safety valve is a pneumatic-controlled actuator that is operated by an air or
gas source.
Pneumatic pressure acting on the piston holds the valve open. Loss of pneumatic pressure in
the actuators cylinder allows the well or flowline pressure acting on the area of the lower stem
to force the stem and gate closed.
Pneumatic actuators can be used in both gas and oil wells. Care should be taken when using
pneumatic actuators on high-pressure and/or large-bore applications.
One of the opening characteristics of a pneumatic actuator is that once sufficient force is
generated to break the differential, the valve will instantaneously go from closed to full open.
This causes a slam-open effect that can cause damage to gates and seats. This can potentially
damage the actuator. The following are some methods to reduce this potential problem:
o Reduce the differential pressure across the valve.
o Reduce the volume of air in the cylinder.
o Dampener mechanism.
o Use of a hydraulic actuator is considered the best option.
Benef i t s
Loss of control pressure above the piston will cause the actuator to close the valve.
In the event of a fire, the metal-to-metal seal between bonnet and lower stem acts as a
secondary seal if the stem packing is damaged.
Has a back-seat test port and packing leak detection port.
A relief valve on the cylinder prevents overpressurization.
Large piston area permits use of low-pressure air or gas control systems.
Has a rising stem for visual indication.
Pneumatic cylinder and piston are electrolysis nickel plated for corrosion resistance, reducing
repair cost.
Upper stem packing is easily removed.

HPHY Hydraulic Piston Actuator
Funct i ons
The actuators are used on secondary master valve and/or wing valve of Christmas tree, flow
lines, header valves, gathering lines and pipelines.
As part of a surface safety system, the actuator will shut off flow from the well in the event of a
catastrophic event.
The HP-HY surface safety valve is a hydraulically controlled actuator that is operated by a
closed hydraulic system completely independent of well fluids and pressure.
Hydraulic pressure acting on the piston holds the valve open. Loss of hydraulic pressure in the
actuator cylinder allows the well or flowline pressure acting on the area of the lower stems to
force the stem and gate closed.
Recommended for use in high-pressure and/or large-bore applications.

HPHYW Hydraulic Wire Shear Actuator
Description: The Type HP-HYW Hydraulic Actuator is a ratio-piston-type actuator mounted on
a reverse-acting gate valve. The HP-HYW Hydraulic Wire Shear Actuator is designed to be fail-
safe and fail-close. The coiled multi-spring assembly provides the added shear force. When
installed as part of a safety system, it will automatically close with the loss of control pressure and will
open automatically when the control pressure is restored. The wire shear actuator becomes the primary
surface safety device during wireline operations. Should an emergency take place while the wireline tool
string is in the well, the wire shear actuator is designed to shear the wire and seal off the flow of the well.

Seals are critical for achieving reliable pressure integrity in wellhead equipment. FMC Energy Systems
is proud of our sealing designs, and we would like to share our seal technology with you so you can
take it into account next time you specify your equipment.
Common oilfield elastomers are sufficiently reliable for low-pressure, normal-service oil and gas
wells, and special elastomer compounds and designs are available for critical-service wells. However, all
elastomer compounds lose some of their sealing effectiveness over time, with the rate of degradation
dependent on environment. Sometimes a metal seal option can be a cost-effective way to increase
service life and improve production efficiencies. FMC Energy Systems has the expertise to help you
decide the best fit (elastomer or metal) for your application.
E l a s t o me r S e a l s
A number of the more conventional wellhead seals can no longer meet the new stringent design-acceptance criteria, such as
the larger API casing and tubing OD tolerances now allowed by API Spec-5CT. For example, the conventional O-ring seal is
very limited in its ability to bridge large extrusion gaps and remain intact without some kind of antiextrusion device. In addition,
some seal designs cannot keep a bubble-tight seal over the wide temperature ranges and large pressure variations encountered.
FMC Energy Systems response to these new API requirements addresses the limitations found in traditional interfer-
ence and slab-packing applications with the following key design features:
Seals meet API Spec. 6A, Appendix F, Performance Requirement Level Two (PR-2) pressure and temperature cycle testing.
All seal designs utilize one of the FMC proprietary elastomeric compounds. These seal compounds are rated for all API
material classes, including class HH (H
2
S/CO
2
service), and are also amine resistant.
Antiextrusion devices are incorporated into each type of seal design to compensate for thermal expansion/contraction of
the seal element and for installation clearances.
All seal elements and antiextrusion components are continuous.
Antiextrusion devices are integrally molded into the seal element, making them easier to install and more durable.
All seals are designed to provide proper squeeze, volume fill and stretch under all API/FMC tolerance conditions, i.e., the
largest diametric gap possible and the worst-case misalignment of sealing surfaces.

FMC Energy Systems patented bump seal design has addressed many issues traditionally associated with metal seals to
become a technological breakthrough for wellhead equipment. FMC Energy Systems metal seals are rugged enough for the
oilfield operation, have simple installation procedures, are easily tested after installation and are reusable in most applications.
In most applications FMC Energy Systems metal seals are self energizing and do not rely on a wedging action, sus-
pended weight or flange make-up force to affect a seal. The seal is pressure assisted and can work in any pressure.
Meet API Spec. 6A, Appendix F, Performance Requirement Level Two (PR-2) pressure and temperature

Can be made from almost any high-strength steel or corrosion-resistant alloy, for use in extreme corrosive services.
Work in all temperature ranges, from -75F arctic service to 1200F for fire-resistant applications.
Are easy to install and test and can withstand standard oilfield handling.
Do not deform (crush) metal, either on the seal or on the mating surfaces, so both are normally reusable, minimizing
workover costs.

S- Seal
The S-Seal is designed to provide reliable sealing between machined components. It is a versatile
and reliable seal in cyclic high-pressure and -temperature applications, where conventional
interference-type seals (O-rings, belt packing, dovetail, etc.) are typically inadequate.
The S-Seal is an interference-type seal utilizing metal coil springs molded integrally into the
exposed seal corners as antiextrusion devices. Another important feature of the FMC design is the
use of a continuous coil spring, which eliminates weak points around the seals circumference.
The S-Seal can be used in many applications where there is a controlled/machined gap between
the sealing bore and shaft; for example, a mandrel hanger neck and tubing head adapter bore. There
are both O.D. and I.D. applications of the S-Seal, with sizes available in nominal diameters up to
20. The S-Seal design can be rated up to 10,000 psi working pressure and a 0to 250F temperature
range for all sizes. Special designs allow qualification to 15,000 psi working pressure and 300F.
FS- Seal
The FS-Seal has been designed to seal against rough casing where wide tolerances and varying
surface finishes create difficult sealing conditions. It is utilized as a large cross-section interference
seal to bridge large extrusion gaps associated with sealing on rough mill casing. The bump provides
higher sealing contact stresses, while the curved recess on the back of the seal controls the
amount of compression (squeeze) on the seal element by allowing it to deflect outward when seal-
ing against a larger-than-normal outer-casing diameter or an out-of-round section of casing.
The FS-Seal can be supplied integral to a casing-head bottom preparation as a 1-FS (one seal
with no secondary) or 2-FS (two seals with one secondary) packoff. It can also be supplied as a
separate 4-S packoff bushing, which incorporates a secondary S-Seal on the bushing OD and a
secondary FS-Seal on the ID. The FS-Seal is available for 4 1/2 to 30 pipe sizes. The FS-Seal is
rated to 10,000 psi working pressure and a 0to 250F temperature range for sizes up to 16,
while the larger sizes are rated to 5,000 psi working pressure.

This design is mechanically energized by lockdown screws after assembly and utilizes integrally
molded wire mesh rings on top and bottom of the elastomeric element to increase extrusion
resistance. Its design and elastomer compound enable excellent temperature and environmental
resistance. It can be used up to 15,000 psi working pressure and a -50to 250F temperature
range. The wire mesh is annealed 316 stainless-steel material for corrosion resistance.
PI Seal
The FMC PI Seal design is an extremely reliable high-pressure sealing mechanism. The PI assembly is comprised of an upper junk
ring guide, the pressure-intensified (PI) seal assembly, and lower ACME threaded lock ring to hold the packoff in the bottom of the
tubing head.
The PI design addresses some rather complex problems associated with oilfield elastomer seal designs, including explosive
decompression, extrusion at high pressures/temperatures, and seal shrinkage/poor response at low temperatures.
The PI seal uses the casing annulus pressure to generate a higher pressure in the elastomer seal, which eliminates the diffusion
of gas into the elastomer. This pressure intensification is generated by a movable T ring which creates an unbalanced pressure
area across the elastomer seal. This design is coupled with FMCs proprietary seal formulation, which also has improved gas perme-
ation as well as excellent oilfield fluid resistance.
The T-ring design also allows the elastomer to self-compensate for seal stress fluctuations caused by thermal cycling. The move-
ment of the T-ring automatically controls excessive seal stresses caused by elastomer expansion. At very low temperatures, the phe-
nomenon of seal stress relaxation caused by elastomer shrinkage is again automatically compensated for by annulus pressure
applied to the unbalanced area T-ring.
Seal failure due to extrusion is addressed by the use of automatic ramping antiextrusion rings made from thermoplastic materi-
al. The antiextrusion rings are located at all four corners of the seal. These rings compensate for the extrusion gaps caused by API
casing tolerances and manufacturing head tolerances.
The PI seal is rated to 15,000 psi working pressure and was developed for use as a lower casing or tubing spool packoff where
long-term reliable sealing in hostile environments is required.

SBMS Seal s
FMC Energy Systems straight-bore metal seal (SBMS) is energized by interference between the designated primary sealing surface
and the metal seals contact area with that sealing surface. The SBMS is a nonintegral double-ended seal sleeve manufactured from
high-strength, low-alloy steel or corrosion-resistant alloy. The seal can be installed separately and can be easily replaced.
The seal design is based on an interference fit with pressure-intensified sealing. As the tubing head bonnet is nippled up, the
seal lip (bump) engages an entry ramp in the seal bore, radially deflecting the seal lip inward, creating the contact stress required
to effect a seal. In the fully installed position, the seal lips engage a straight bore above the entry ramp (see illustration). The SBMS
maintains sufficient contact-sealing stress even at very low pressure. As working pressure increases, contact-sealing stresses
increase, making it seal even tighter.
The SBMS qualification tests were conducted with low pressure and high pressure, the fire test pass (API RP-6F Improved) of
2,000F flame temperatures and 1,200F internal seal temperature with zero leakage.
SBMS- I I Seal s
The SBMS-II has bumps on the inside diameter and the outside diameter. Each seal lip engages its entry ramp, creating the seal-
ing contact stress with the sealing diameter.
The SBMS-II is used mainly as a production casing metal seal on either extended-neck mandrel-casing hangers or directly
against the casing stub when slip hangers are used. When employed to seal against a casing stub, it is required to machine the
casing stub after the casing is hung off. However, it requires only approximately 1 1/4 of the casing stub. The operation can be
executed with a portable pneumatic tool.
The SBMS-II is normally used on production casing where extreme temperature fluctuations are anticipated or in critical-service
applications. When used against slip-suspended casing, FMC Energy Systems provides an ACME threaded casing holddown nut to
minimize upward thermal expansion of the casing and act as a bit guide to protect the SBMS-II seal when running tubing or condi-
tioning the hole.
The SBMS-II seal has been used in sizes up to 20. Various applications of the SBMS-II design include valve stem back-seat
seals, valve seat body seals and tubing hanger annular packoffs.
RCMS Seal s
The most recent addition to the family of metal seals is the rough-casing metal seal (RCMS). This seal design does not require
special complex field machining of the casing stub; is compatible with a wide range of temperatures and corrosive environments;
does not require special installation tools and is simple to install; is NACE compatible; is compatible with casing spool and tubing
spool strength; and is compatible with casing string strength properties.
XEMS Seal s
FMC Energy Systems externally energized metal seal (XEMS) is used in Unihead
wellhead systems for special mandrel casing

hanger and tubing hanger applications. The externally energized seal requires mechanical force to effect a seal. The XEMS seal can
be run through the BOP stack and is energized by lockdown screws or by an internal lockdown ring and running tool.

Met al - t o- Met al Hi gh- Per f or mance Seal s
The metal-to-metal high-performance (M2M HP) Annulus Seal Assembly seals the annular space between the Unihead and the
UWD-15 Casing Hangers. The seal is preloaded at installation, giving outstanding sealing performance even at low pressures.
Two seal bumps on the OD of the M2M HP seal assembly seal against a recessed groove in the ID of the Unihead. Three
radiused seal bumps on the tapered ID of the M2M HP seal assembly seal against the mating tapered surface on the OD of the
casing Hhanger.
The seal element material is a corrosion-resistant alloy, rendering the seal assembly fit for use in carbon dioxide environ-
ments. All mating equipment is overlaid with a corrosion-resistant alloy. The seal bumps plastically deform during installation,
filling scratches that may be present on the sealing surfaces.
The M2M HP seal assembly OD locates and aligns within the bore of the Unihead during installation and centralizes the
M2M HP seal assembly. The OD also protects the two seal bumps on the seal assembly OD from damage during installation.
A square shoulder in the bore of the locking mandrel sits on top of the casing hanger. The M2M HP seal assembly is
positioned in the Unihead so that the seal elements align with an undercut in the Unihead bore. This undercut area minimizes
scratching or scuffing of the seal surfaces which can occur during drilling operations.
When the energizing mandrel is operated, locking segments engage with a groove on the ID of the Unihead. A lock ring in the
ID of the M2M seal assembly engages with a groove on the OD of the UW-D15 Casing Hangers. The M2M HP seal assembly
bottom surface protects the seal by having a larger diameter that shields the retracted sealing elements during running. The M2M
HP seal element is retained on the seal assembly with a
retainer strip. This retainer strip is held captive and provides
uniform support during seal retrieval.
The M2M HP Annulus Seal Assembly is designed to
prevent premature energization as the assembly is run
downhole. It is rated for 15,000 psi, H

FMC Energy Systems long history of designing and manufacturing the finest surface wellhead
products and providing cost-effective systems solutions speaks to our companys commitment to
developing the industrys most advanced engineering resources and capabilities, including materials
selection and finite-element analysis, supported with the appropriate R&D facilities and processes,
including materials and design testing labs. The first step in the engineering process is materials
selection, with the main lines of emphasis on metals, elastomers and lubricants.
Metallic Material Selection
Key drivers in selecting metallic materials for
our wellheads are strength, environmental
factors and manufacturability. Precise
assessment of production fluid chemistry
is vital to the selection process. These
analyses include breakdowns in the amounts
of dissolved chlorides, carbon dioxide and
hydrogen sulfide. All selections are based
on API and NACE guidelines and field
experience.
Elastomer Selection
Elastomers are FMC Energy Systems
proprietary formulations designed to
perform in standard oilfield production
environments. Each compound is
developed to function in a specific range
of temperature, pressure and aggressive
chemicals environment. Elastomer com-
pounds are qualified through rigorous test-
ing on actual seal configurations. Seals are
tested to anticipated worst-case conditions.
They are manufactured from compounds
with long life expectancy in oil production
environments. Elastomers are molded into
seals that are qualified for up to 250
degrees and 15,000 psi.
Grease Selection
A variety of specially selected greases are
used in FMC Energy Systems wellhead
equipment. These greases are formulated to
provide excellent lubrication characteristics
over a wide range of temperatures while pro-
viding resistance to petroleum hydro-
carbons, H
2
S, CO
2
, chlorides, water, frac
fluid, acids and common oilfield chemicals.
Greases are evaluated using a variety of test
instrumentation, including autoclave expo-
sure and dynamic mechanical analysis. Full-
scale field testing of products is also used to
provide service reliability data on selected
greases.

Awellhead is as good as its valves and seals, and
performance is about seal performance. Higher pres-
sures, well-treatment chemicals, longer frac times and
other critical-service conditions place emphasis on seal
integrity. If a seal failed, the budget can be severely
impacted. Our customers demand the most reliable seals
technology can deliver, and our industry has set new
standards for seal performance. Conventional O-ring seals no longer meet application demands and industry standards.
In order to maintain complete control over the quality and performance of our elastomer seals, FMC Energy Systems has
made a substantial investment in an Elastomer Laboratory dedicated to the development of new and improved elastomer seal
materials and designs.
Field-proven designs developed by FMC Energy Systems include FS-Seals, S-Seals, and Compression Packings with Wire
Mesh. At the heart of these premium seal designs are proprietary elastomer compounds formulated to provide the best combination
of mechanical properties and chemical resistance to oilfield environments.
Molding of FMC Energy Systems seal designs using these proprietary compounds is performed at our Nonmetallic Production
Facility, located in Houston, Texas. Our experience has demonstrated that in-house elastomer seal manufacture and optimized
compounds provide the most reliable combination of mechanical and chemical properties in a premium elastomer seal. This is in
contrast to much of the oilfield industry which outsources seal manufacturing.
New seal designs demanding new, improved compounds, new molding techniques and testing processes are developed
in our Elastomer manufacturing and testing facilities. This assures that FMC Energy Systems brand elastomer seals are not only
state-of-the-art design and materials, but rigorously tested for the complete range of customer applications and environmental
operating conditions.

saf et y, perf ormance and ret ur n on i nvest ment . Realizing the maximum return on your investment
is a function of up-front costs, system performance and system cycle costs all of which are linked to the
quality of both the equipment and the service provided by your wellhead equipment vendor. Support
for a single well or a full-field service demands performance on a par with the performance of FMC Surface
Wellheads products and systems. Driven by your objectives of (1) operating safely, (2) maximizing well
profits, (3) extending wellhead equipment life and (4) tracking and utilizing wellhead assets, FMC Surface
Wellhead has developed a service resource second to none in HSE-driven safety practices, reliability,
and performance. Moreover, our service technicians are deployed where you need them; in maintenance
centers strategically located throughout the globe.

OUR UNI QUE RECRUI TI NG PROCESS.
While most of the industry tends to
recruit service technicians from experi-
enced rig crews, we have followed a
different path by recruiting directly from
vocational schools and the military
services. Technician candidates recruited
from these two major sources of talent
are already comfortable with formal
training courses, have a disciplined
approach to following procedures and
have great attitudes: they are proud of
their company, their skills and their
commitment to safety and enjoy helping
customers by providing superior service.
OUR RI GOROUS TRAI NI NG PROGRAM.
Before joining our service team as a full-
fledged FMC wellhead technician, every
recruit must complete a comprehensive
26-week training program. The curricu-
lum includes classroom study in drilling
technology and FMC Surface Wellhead
products, hands-on lab and field instruc-
tion, as well as a rotation through many
functional areas of the business. Above
all, our service trainees have the FMC
Surface Wellhead safety culture ingrained
into every aspect of their thinking,
planning and job performance. Before
graduating, each apprentice must pass a
written competency examination.
SAFETY FI RST, RELI ABI LI TY. When you
call for an FMC Surface Wellhead techni-
cian, you know youre getting someone
technically competent and thoroughly
experienced, trained and schooled in
safety and reliability, including on-time
performance. Our specialists are also
skilled at resolving issues on location,
which can translate into major cost
savings. They perform in compliance
with local regulations and FMC Surface
Wellheads safety practices. At the con-
clusion of the job, the technician gener-
ates a status report that also includes
Internet links to digital photos, equipment
schematics and maintenance schedules.
FMC Surf ace Wel l head Servi ce Techni ci ans. We are confident that our global service
resource is simply tops in the industry. The remarkable FMC Surface Wellhead safety record
(as measured one of the lowest incident rates in the industry) and retention rate supports our
conviction. Given the methodical care with which FMC Surface Wellhead recruits, trains and
supports our service resources, its no accident that our technicians are the best in the business.

Regular lubrication and maintenance of gate valves
can substantially prolong the life of your wellhead
system. An ongoing program of valve lubrication is
simply good business, as it can reduce the frequency
and cost of repairs and well shutdowns. Our technicians
flush treating fluids, lubricate bearings and fill the
valve body with grease for a single well (for instance,
after the equipment has been exposed to corrosive
chemicals) or on a routine basis as part of a total field
lubrication program.
On your valve lubrication maintenance calls, our
highly trained and experienced technicians follow a
strict schedule of procedures step-by-step to assure
thoroughness and uniform service throughout the
life cycle of the equipment. They are also guided by
detailed reports (including photographs and schematics)
that document the size, working pressure, serial
numbers and manufacture of each piece of equipment
on each wellhead.

The useful life of your surface wellhead components
often exceeds the life of your wells. Managing and
utilizing these assets throughout their life cycle can
yield significant savings by reducing or eliminating
the need to purchase new equipment.
FMC Surface Wellhead technicians help you
extend the life of your wellhead equipment in two
ways: (1) by a regular schedule of maintenance and
prompt repairs for all the components of your
wellhead and keeping them in top working order, or
returning them to peak condition, and (2) supporting
you in the active management of the life cycles of
your wellhead equipment inventories. With FMC
Surface Wellheads cradle to grave information
management system, you can track every wellhead
asset from invoice to repair history to the assets life
and whereabouts after it is removed from the wellsite
and placed in customer property (CP) or on to a new
wellsite to sell or scrap. With our asset-tracking
system, you can track and manage every component
of every installed wellhead system or CP inventory on
your laptop from anywhere in the world.
P r e - Wo r k o v e r I n s p e c t i o n
S e r v i c e A well workover is no time to discover
problems with the wellhead. Your FMC Surface
Wellhead technicians can help prevent costly
workover rig and crew downtime by identifying and
documenting the installed equipment and verifying
the proper functioning of all wellhead components
before the rig arrives. This inspection includes tests
for pressure leaks, valve inspection to assure proper
functioning, prepping the bolts for fast and easy
removal and any necessary repairs. Our technicians
also provide test results and documentation for
each wellhead as the units are scheduled for
workover or moving.
