@mudpumpsupplier: Wellhead Leak Must be repaired to maintain a safe and clean environment at the well site. On most wellhead hook-ups, leaks generally are due to faulty threads. Leaking around the wellhead bolts typically is caused by improper torque on the bolts, improperly repaired wellhead, or damaged bolts. Other than the bolt connections, the most common place for wellhead leaks is at the catcher assembly or where the lubricator screws into the flow collar. The catchers usually are attached through some type of packing gland (not unlike those found on many valves). Leaks that occur at the catcher can normally be fixed by tightening the packing nut. If not, it may be necessary to replace the catcher assembly. The lubricator upper section has a quick connect with an O-ring seal. These can leak and need to be replaced periodically. In most cases, tightening will not stop a leaking O-ring. Wellhead connections may be screwed on or flanged. Flanged wellheads are thought to be safer if the plunger arrives dry. #oilandgas #oilandgasindustry #oilfield #oil #drilling #petroleum #offshore #drillingrig #engineering #oilandgaslife #oilfieldlife #energy #oilfieldstrong #oilpatch #oilindustry
