Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil de branchement d'un ensemble de vannes de production sur une tête de puits. Plusieurs raccords tubulaires 30 font saillie vers le bas de l'ensemble 26 de vannes de production et s'emboîtent dans des ouvertures correspondantes d'un élément de réception 34 faisant partie d'un dispositif de suspension 14 de colonnes. Une courte partie du tronçon des raccords introduit dans les ouvertures présente un diamètre extérieur plus grand que le diamètre intérieur de l'ouverture correspondante, de manière à réaliser un joint à contact métal sur metaL Domaine d'application : forages en mer.An apparatus for connecting an assembly of production valves to a wellhead is disclosed. Several tubular connectors 30 protrude downwardly from the assembly 26 of production valves and fit into corresponding openings of a receiving member 34 forming part of a suspension device 14 of columns. A short part of the section of the fittings introduced into the openings has an outside diameter greater than the inside diameter of the corresponding opening, so as to achieve a metal contact seal on metaL Field of application: offshore drilling.
