Wellhead Control Panel Filters (WHCP Filters)
Do you need WHCP filters?
An oil or gas well it is most commonly controlled using a Wellhead Control Panel (WHCP). The well will always have a SCSSV (Surface Controlled Sub-surface Safety Valve) – sometimes called a Down Hole Valve (DHV) – and a SSV (Surface Safety Valves). SCSSV in most applications is an on-off type valve that uses hydraulic actuators. The SSV can be controlled by a hydraulic or pneumatic actuator, depending on the pressure rating.
WHCP Components
WHCP systems usually consist of a hydraulic reservoir, filters, hydraulic pumps, accumulator, wellhead control module and a hydraulic line which enables the supply and return to the wellhead control module.
