In oil and gas production, every well must have a means of controlling the flow of hydrocarbons to their respective collection facility. The accepted equipment used during this process is called the christmas tree. This course covers the equipment and operation of surface wellhead systems which includes the christmas tree and the connections to the surface casing.
The christmas tree is mounted on the wellhead casing and tubing. This course will provide the participants with the knowledge necessary to understand and enhance their operational aptitude of the surface wellhead system and asscociated equipment.
This course will also cover the components of the christmas tree which consist of an arrangement of valves and piping that allows isolation and flow control of the well. An understanding of the wellhead casing and tubing is also provided to explain the connection of the christmas tree.

- Surface Christmas Tree Valves
- Christmas Tree Wellhead Common Components
- Christmas Tree Operation and Controls
On the second day, the participants will be exposed to the basics of the christmas tree, its operation and its valve arrangement. Participants will be introduced to the associate equipment as well as the piping required to attach the christmas tree to the wellhead. Hydraulic control systems are also required to operate the automatic valves on the christmas tree and these will be explored.
This course is mainly targeted to process operators, process technicians, and laboratory and maintenance personnel. The course can also be applicable to employees working with equipment and materials purchasing, equipment procurement, job planning as well as immediate supervisors to the working technicians.
