High-Pressure Flowline Manifold Systems

Kill Manifold

Kill manifolds are used to pump weighted drilling fluid or kill fluid into the wellbore during well-control and kill operations, normally working with the choke manifold and wellhead equipment. They are designed to API 16C and NACE MR0175, with common ratings of 5,000 psi, 10,000 psi and 15,000 psi and nominal bores from 2 1/16 in to 4 1/16 in.

1. Product Overview

The kill manifold is key equipment for oil and gas well pressure control and well-control operations. It is mainly used to pump heavy drilling fluid into the well when wellhead pressure rises, balancing bottom-hole pressure and reducing kick and blowout risks.

The product can be used with high-pressure pumps, flowback lines, and wellhead equipment for killing, flowback pressure relief, squeeze cementing, and injection of clean water or fire-extinguishing agents at the wellhead.

The check valve in the manifold controls one-way entry of kill fluid or other fluids into the wellbore and prevents backflow, meeting kill and pressure-control process requirements.

2. Design Features

Products are designed and manufactured according to relevant API 16C and NACE MR0175 requirements and are suitable for standard and sour service.

They can be used with high-pressure pump units and wellhead equipment for heavy drilling-fluid injection, flowback pressure relief, and well-control process switching.

Valves, check valves, and line layouts can be combined according to the field well-control process for quick operation and maintenance.

Special design and manufacture can be provided according to wellsite layout, pressure rating, and connection form.
