Features & specifications

  • API 16C Certified: All choke and kill manifolds are fully compliant with API 16C requirements, ensuring reliability and safety in well control operations.
  • Versatile Design: The manifolds are suitable for both drilling and well servicing operations, with the ability to direct fluids to buffer tanks or reroute them to reduce well pressure.
  • Choke Manifold Components: Includes choke valves, gate valves, line pipes, fittings, and pressure gauges. The choke manifold controls well pressure and manages blowout prevention by balancing well pressure.
  • Kill Manifold Components: Comprises API gate valves, check valves, pressure gauges, and line pipes, designed to inject drilling fluids or water into the wellbore to control well pressure.
  • Operating Temperature: Available with API temperature ratings from P (-20°F) to U (250°F), making these manifolds suitable for a wide range of operational environments.
  • Manual or Hydraulic Operation: Choke and kill manifolds are available with both manually operated and hydraulically actuated valves, providing flexibility based on the specific operational needs.

Sizes and Pressure Ratings:

  • Bore sizes available up to 4 1/16”.
  • Pressure ratings range from 2000 psi to 15000 psi.

Applications:

  • Well Control and Blowout Prevention: Essential for managing wellbore pressure and preventing blowouts during drilling and workover operations.
  • Sour Service Compatibility: Suitable for use in environments containing H₂S (sour gas), ensuring safety and durability in corrosive conditions.

Main Components:

  • Choke Valves: Hydraulic or manually operated.
  • Gate Valves: Available in expanding or slab gate types, with manual or hydraulic actuation.
  • Drilling Chokes: Manually operated or hydraulic actuated, depending on customer requirements.
  • Cross or Tee Components: Flange or studded connections for compatibility with various well control systems.
