Kill Manifold

Product Description

The kill manifold is an essential piece of equipment in a well control system for pumping drilling fluids into the wellbore or injecting water into the wellhead. It consists of check valves, gate valves, pressure gauges, and line pipe.

When the wellhead pressure increases, the kill manifold can pump heavy drilling fluid into the well to equalize the bottomhole pressure, thus preventing well surges and blowouts. At this time, the increased wellhead pressure can also be released directly into the well by utilizing the drain line connected to the kill manifold to achieve bottomhole relief, or by injecting water and extinguishing agent into the well through the pressurized well manifold. the check valves on the kill manifold allow pressurized fluids or other fluids to be injected into the wellbore through itself only, but do not allow any return flow for pressurized well operations or other operations.

Features

1. The kill manifold is main device for oil-gas well pressure control technology and used to balance well bottom pressure by pumping drilling fluid into the well;

2. Open flow to release well bottom pressure;

3. Possible for special operation;

4. To wash the well by injecting clean water or fire extinguishing agent;

5. The kill line manufactured by our company conforms to API 16C, NACE MR0175 Standards;

6. Kill line can be designed and manufactured specially according to users’ needs; 

7. In case drilling fluid cannot cycle normally, it is necessary to fill drilling fluid into the pup joint and connect high pressure pump with kill line to lead drilling fluid into well bore through check valve;

8. In case well mouth was completely sealed by flashboard, well control operation can be performed by filling drilling fluid into wellhole by force by kill manifold.
