Wellhead Control Panel

1 General Introduction

Wellhead control panel is key equipment in oil & gas industry to protect oilfield
facilities and environment from occurring wellhead fire and emergency incidents,
which is one of main control systems to ensure oilfield oil production and
transportation to be safely operation according to international standards and
national regulation.

Wellhead control panel is composed of hydraulic power unit, tubing & fitting and
instrument valve and electrical control devices. HPU supply hydraulic resource to
open and close SSVs including MSSV, WSSV and SCSSV.

2 Main Function

Local On/Off SSV

Remote control SSV through RTU

High-Low pressure sense shut-down automatically.

Fusible Plug, Anti-fire Shut-down automatically.

SSV can not be opened unless local reset after shutoff

Function of showing system pressure

Relief Valve shall be installed on each hydraulic circuit to prevent high

pressure

Function of showing hydraulic level and level switch for alarm

Function of defending pressure impact of system

Function of defending exorbitant pressure

Function of system pressure monitoring(by pressure transmitter of control

panel)

Function of remote emergency shut-down (by magnetic valve of control

panel)

Function of On/Off SSV monitoring (by pressure switch of control loop of

control panel)

Function of shield High-low pressure sense

4 Single wellhead Control Panel

Single wellhead control panel is used for controlling one well Surface controlled
sub-surface safety valve (SCSSV), Master SSV and Wing SSV. SSVs can be
shutdown automatically and manually by WHCP to response all kind of
emergency situation.

Single well control panel is categorized the following system according to driven
resource:

Manual control system

Electrical control system

Pneumatic control system

Solar powered control system

WHCP is composed of hydraulic oil reservoir, hydraulic pump, tubing & fitting,
interface control valve, instrument indication devices and control valve.

Fitting and tubing of WHCP is manufactured by famous manufacturer such as

Parker and Swegelok, hydraulic pump is imported from Haskel .

WHCP main function include Hi/Lo pressure Shutdown, fire fusible plug
protection and remote ESD
