Wellhead Maintenance

The wellhead and christmas tree are the final barrier between reservoir pressure and the environment. We keep that barrier sound. Planned servicing, valve overhaul and pressure testing that extend asset life and meet NUPRC integrity requirements.

Overview

The last barrier, kept sound.

A producing well is only as safe as its surface pressure-control equipment. Valves seize, seals degrade and corrosion advances quietly. Until a planned maintenance regime catches them.

BOESNL delivers scheduled and corrective wellhead maintenance under the same NUPRC permits that authorise our completion and pumping operations. So the crew that built the well can keep it producing safely, with no new vendor to qualify and no gap in accountability.
