ConocoPhillips used a
Cameron conventional
wellhead for the exploration
well PL25-8-1 in October 2006
Conventional Wellheads
require nippling-up and
nippling-down the BOP
stack to install each section,
which requires a lot of rigtime; rig-time is very
expensive
After use,
Convention
al Wellhead
spools can
be easily
separated,
repaired,
inspected,
and re-used
Mudline
Hangers are
designed to nest
one inside the
other
Each Hanger
except the last
includes internal
profile to
suspend the
casing hanger
for the next
casing string
Temporary Abandonment
(TA) Caps are installed
after drilling to isolate the
annuli and hole bore for
months or years until the
platform is installed
above
The upper-most TA Cap is
spaced out during drilling
to be a couple metres
above the mudline
Tie-back hangers have
seals to re-establish
integrity with each casing
string back to the
platform

API Design.
Design Methodology for pressure containing equipment is as
described in ASME, Section VIII, Division 2, Appendix 4.
Design allowable stresses are limited by the following criteria:
St = 0.83 * Sy and Sm = 2/3 * Sy
where,
Sm = design stress intensity at W.P.
St = maximum allowable general primary
membrane stress intensity at T.P.
Sy = the matl specified min. yield strength
The theory of constant energy of distortion can also be used
for design calculations for pressure containing equipment.
Discontinuities and stress concentrations must be considered
where applicable.
