Introduction:
Every well must have a mechanism to manage the flow into or out of it for all types of operations done on petroleum or natural gas wells, such as production, injection, well intervention, and workover. The Christmas Tree is the tool used for this, and it has a complete set of valves, spools, pipework, and fittings designed to isolate and manage the flow of the well.
A wellhead is a sturdy structure that is affixed to the top of an oil or gas well and serves as a link between the surface systems and the well’s uppermost sections of casing and tubing. Affixed to the Christmas tree, the wellhead transmits pressure and flow through the strings of casing-tubing.
