A wellhead is an oil drilling equipment called a Christmas tree installed on the ground level or cellar of an oil well.
It performs the function of providing a structural surface for oil and gas drilling equipment and pressure stabilisation.
The two types of wellheads used in Nigerian oil are;
- Projection Well: Extracts oil underground.
- Ejection Well: Ejects water or gas from the oil reservoir.
You can learn wellhead installation, repair and maintenance in Nigerian oil and gas training institutes.
The price of learning wellhead installation, repair and maintenance is between one hundred and fifty thousand three hundred thousand Naira (₦150,000 – 300,000) for less than a month.
In this post, you will see wellhead installation, repair and maintenance training courses in Nigeria.
