GE Surface Time-Saving Wellheads Brochure

GE Oil & Gas

The LSH Land Speedhead™ System is designed for use as 

a two-stage starting head, combining the casing head and 

casing spool into a single housing. The BOP stack is made 

up to the starting head before drilling commences and is 

not removed until two strings of casing have been run. This 

technique impacts both rig costs and safety. By landing two 

casing strings in one compact forged housing, the LSH system 

eliminates one complete BOP nipple-down/nipple-up thereby 

saving significant rig time. By reducing handling of wellhead 

and BOP equipment and by minimizing potential wellhead 

leak paths, safety is substantially improved. The LSH system 

offers an economical alternative to the SH2 or SH3 speedhead 

systems for less demanding applications.
