Reliable control systems built for Nigeria’s most complex drilling environments.
The Niger Delta’s swamp and shallow offshore terrains pose some of the most difficult operational challenges for Nigeria’s upstream sector. Constant humidity, soft soil, and corrosive brine exposure accelerate wear on surface equipment. To ensure well integrity in such demanding environments, operators rely on API wellhead and X-Mas tree systems engineered for durability, modularity, and ease of service.
Parveen Industries Nigeria supplies a complete portfolio of wellhead and Christmas tree assemblies, casing heads, gate valves, and surface-controlled subsurface safety valves tailored for swamp rig operations across the Niger Delta region.
API 6A Compliance and Modular Adaptability
Every Parveen system adheres to API 6A (20th Edition) specifications, ensuring design and testing integrity across all pressure control components. Modular casing head and spool configurations allow quick installation and easy adaptation to mobile rig setups used in swamp drilling. Compact skids enable helicopter or barge transport, reducing logistical overhead for remote well sites.
Corrosion-Resistant Alloys and Surface Protection
To combat the corrosive effects of saltwater and acidic swamp gases, Parveen employs Corrosion-Resistant Alloys (CRA), Inconel overlays, and electroless nickel coatings on sealing and pressure-bearing surfaces. All wetted materials are qualified to NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 standards, ensuring safe operation in sour environments containing H2S and CO2. Optional high-temperature gate valves extend service life in thermal-enhanced recovery wells.
Lightweight Modular Systems for Swamp Mobility
Parveen’s modular wellhead assemblies are designed for fast rig-up and minimal footprint. The split-body design allows partial assembly at the yard and final integration at the well site. Using hammer unions and flanged tees and crosses, these units achieve both flexibility and reliability during barge-based rig deployment in the delta’s swamp zones.
Integrated SSSV Compatibility and Isolation-Tool Friendly Profiles
All wellhead and X-Mas tree designs are fully compatible with Parveen’s surface-controlled subsurface safety valves (SSSV) and inside blow-out preventers. The bore profiles support standard isolation tools, ensuring quick well interventions without requiring expensive recompletions. Each system comes with detailed interface drawings for OEM-neutral integration with major rig packages used in Nigeria.
In-Country Service and Spares Readiness
Parveen’s Nigerian operations provide local inspection, pressure testing, redressing, and spare part availability — ensuring minimum downtime between rig moves. Each wellhead assembly is delivered with hydrotest, NDT, and PR2 performance certificates. Localized service support enhances lifecycle management and complies with the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) mandates.
Trusted Solutions for the Delta’s Complex Wells
With proven engineering reliability and in-country service capability, Parveen Industries continues to strengthen Nigeria’s upstream infrastructure. From compact modular wellheads to corrosion-resistant X-Mas trees, every system is built to withstand the delta’s heat, humidity, and pressure — enabling operators to produce safely, efficiently, and confidently.
FAQs – Wellhead & X-Mas Tree Systems in Nigeria
What are modular wellhead systems?
They are pre-engineered, compact assemblies designed for quick installation and mobility — ideal for swamp and offshore drilling operations.
Why is CRA metallurgy important for Niger Delta wells?
Corrosion-Resistant Alloys prevent H2S and saltwater damage, extending equipment life in highly humid and acidic conditions.
Can Parveen’s wellheads be serviced locally in Nigeria?
Yes. Parveen provides full local support, including testing, maintenance, and spare parts.
What testing standards do these systems follow?
All assemblies are PR2-tested, hydrostatically verified, and API 6A-certified for HPHT and sour-service operations.
Are the systems compatible with SSSVs and wireline tools?
Yes. The bore profiles are designed for standard isolation and safety-valve tools, enabling safe workover and well control operations.
