Course Overview
Purpose
This course provides a complete, practical understanding of surface wellheads — how they are designed, installed, tested, and maintained as the primary pressure-containment system at surface. Built around real operational scenarios, API 6A requirements, and modern completion demands including ESP, gas lift, frac, and intelligent completions, learners develop the competence to recognise wellhead risks, interpret pressure behaviour, and make informed decisions during installation, testing, handover, and production operations.
