Each wellbore goes through three phases. These phases include:
Other names for casing head include Braden head, casing bowl, or the starting head. It is also commonly referred to as the a-section. This casing head is capable of interfacing with the pressure control equipment at the surface. It is a required adapter that is utilized between the initial casing string and the wellhead or BOP stack.
A tubing head is another key wellhead component. This component has a body that includes a pair of forged flanges. The tubing head supports the tubing hanger. It also provides an attachment to the wellhead’s Christmas tree. A key function of the tubing head is the sealing off pressure that exists between the tubing annulus and the casing. At the same time, it connects the tubing adapter. These heads are available in a wide range of sizes and types.
