Abstract

See full text

A method for drilling and producing a surface wellbore. The method can include drilling a conductor pipe borehole; installing a conductor pipe within the conductor pipe borehole; installing a drilling flange onto the conductor pipe; and assembling a wellhead stack on the drilling flange. The wellhead stack can include two or more blow out preventers, a kill line hub secured to and in fluid communications with a first spool located below a first blowout preventer, a choke line hub secured to and in fluid communications with a second spool located between a second blowout preventer and the first blow out preventer, a choke line, and a kill line, wherein both the kill line and choke line each have a quick connect collet connector. The kill line collet connector can be landed on the kill line and the choke line collet connector on the choke line hub. Each collet connector can be actuated to bring a throughbore in the choke line hub and the kill line hub into sealing engagement with each collet connector throughbore.
