Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of petroleum equipment, specifically a casing head for oil wellheads. Background Technology
[0002] The casing head at the oil wellhead is the core component connecting the downhole casing to the surface wellhead equipment. Located at the bottom of the wellhead, it serves as a "bridge" between the oil and gas wellbore and the surface equipment. Its main functions are to fix the casing string, seal the casing annulus, bear the weight of the wellhead equipment, and provide a connection foundation for the subsequent installation of equipment such as Christmas trees and blowout preventers. When in use, the casing head needs to be fixed to the ground or base with bolts.
[0003] In the prior art, the bolts used when installing the casing head of an oil wellhead are exposed and are prone to rust after long-term use. If the rusted bolts loosen, the pressure on the sealing surface will be insufficient, and high-pressure oil and gas or formation fluids may leak from the gap, causing annular crossflow, wellhead contamination, or even well control risks. Therefore, this utility model proposes a casing head for an oil wellhead to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a casing head for oil wellheads to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] A top plate is fixedly installed at the top of the first housing, and a connecting plate is provided at the bottom of the first housing. A connecting ring is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting plate, and a rubber pad is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting ring.
[0007] The inner wall of the first housing is provided with a rubber layer.
[0008] Preferably, the first and second housings have the same shape and surface structure. The upper flange has several sets of set screws on its side and several sets of threaded holes on its surface. Bolts are threaded into the threaded holes. A limit groove is formed on the bottom wall of the top plate corresponding to the bolt position. A second rubber ring is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the limit groove.
[0009] Preferably, the top plate is ring-shaped, and a first rubber ring is fixedly installed on the inner ring surface of the top plate, with the inner ring surface of the first rubber ring fitting against the outer surface of the sleeve.
[0010] Preferably, the first housing has an internal receiving groove, and the bottom of the receiving groove has a moving groove. The bottom of the moving groove passes through the bottom wall of the first housing. A limiting slider is slidably installed in the receiving groove. The bottom wall of the limiting slider is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate. The bottom of the connecting plate is slidably installed in the moving groove.
[0011] Preferably, a T-shaped groove is formed on the rear sidewall of the outer surface of the first housing, and a T-shaped block is fixedly installed on the front sidewall of the outer surface of the first housing, wherein the T-shaped block is adapted to the T-shaped groove.
[0012] Preferably, a conduit is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the sleeve head, and two sets of conduits are provided, which are symmetrically arranged. A parallel valve connected to the interior of each set of conduits is provided on the surface of each set of conduits.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the first shell and the second shell are combined to form a ring. At this time, the inner ring surface of the first rubber ring forms a ring that fits against the outer surface of the sleeve to prevent water from flowing directly in. The limiting groove covers the bolts to protect them. The connecting plate is movable and can be moved up and down as needed. The rubber pad at the bottom of the connecting plate fits against the bottom mounting base or the ground to a certain extent, preventing water from flowing directly into the interior and contacting the lower flange and mounting base.
