Wellhead Control Panel: 1 General Introduction

The document discusses wellhead control panels, which are key equipment used to safely control oil and gas production. It describes the components and functions of single well and multi-well control panels. Single well panels can be manual, electrical, pneumatic, or solar powered systems to control surface valves. Multi-well panels allow individual well control modules to be removed without disrupting other wells. Both provide functions like emergency shutdown, pressure monitoring, and local manual control.

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
