PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

The words Christmas Tree and Wellhead are often used interchangeably in the oil and gas industry. However, a wellhead and a Christmas tree are entirely separate equipment. They are both vital to gas and oil production, and they each have valves and other equipment that aids in controlling and guiding the flow of materials. 

A wellhead is necessary to control the pressure during drilling and production. It is located on the surface of the well between the casing and the drilling floor, allowing safe and controlled access to a live well. The wellhead suspends the casing and provides pressure seals for the casing string. It supports the BOP (Blowout Preventer) during drilling, the FRAC Tree during completion, and a Production Christmas Tree after completion. The wellhead is present during the drilling, completion, and production phases.

The Christmas Tree's primary purpose is to control the flow of resources—typically oil or gas—into and out of a well during production. The Christmas tree arrives and is attached to the wellhead after finalizing the drilling process. The Christmas Tree is a series of valves, spools, gauges, and chokes. 

A total of five valves are included in a Christmas tree, and each one is designed for a specific function.
