surface telemetry system. It is typically used in permanent completions where pressure and temperature are being monitored. It can accept either one or two conductors and can accommodate most flanged connections. The Wellhead Outlet is ATEX-certified for use in Zone 1 and 2 Hazardous areas.

The system’s Cablehead was the main area for improvement. The Cablehead is a critical component because it terminates the downhole cable and seals against downhole pressure. According to the company, manufacturing lead times have been reduced, and the improved Wellhead Outlet exhibits better electrical performance.

The Wellhead Outlet provides a safe and efficient means of joining downhole electrical cable to cable on the surface or platform. The downhole cable terminates in a pressure bulkhead and then connects to the surface cable. This ensures that if, for any reason, the downhole cable is flooded, the integrity of the wellhead is maintained.
