· J. Pet. Technol.; (United States)
Sarawak Shell Berhad (SSB) has adopted the philosophy that wellhead equipment for platforms and other congested high-risk areas should be designed to withstand a fire in a neighboring well. This paper outlines the considerations leading to the development of the fireresistant wellhead and Christmas tree and describes the weaknesses inherent in standard wellhead equipment exposed to fire.
