 Rigid Lockdown Conductor Wellheads

Dril-Quip’s Rigid Lockdown (RLD) Conductor Wellhead is designed to

eliminate any alternating load between the conductor wellhead/high
pressure wellhead locking interface. This makes the RLD system partic-
ularly suitable for well development applications, and is used for most
deepwater applications. Working with the preload features of the 18 ¾"
RLD high-pressure wellhead housing, the dual running grooves at the
top and the five degree tapered interface at the bottom of the wellhead
conductor housing lock the two housings together with up to 2 million
lbs of preload, which increases the bending resistance and fatigue life of
Dril-Quip’s RLD Wellhead System. Cam-Actuated
The RLD Wellhead Housing incorporates a dual groove profile and Drill-Ahead (CADA)
anti-rotation slots for the cam-actuated drill-ahead running tool. In Running Tool
addition, it includes a lockdown groove for the 18 ¾" housing and
can be adapted for a variety of conductor sizes.

release ring engages a known ID in the wellhead,
wear bushing or casing hanger.
Features
• Allows testing of the BOP stack and the wellhead
after removal of the Nominal Bore Protector (a
slip-on adapter allows landing of the tool on the
primary shoulder of the wellhead)

bushing installed (this method tests the BOP
stack while isolating the casing hanger seal
assembly from test pressure) Special
• Can be landed on top of a casing hanger
