GE Surface Time-Saving Wellheads Brochure

GE Oil & Gas

The OSH Offshore Speedhead™ System is specifically 

designed to be compatible with the drilling methods 

commonly used in the Gulf of Mexico. It has a two-stage 

starting head, combining the casing head and casing spool 

into a single housing. The diverter or 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 OSH 

system eliminates one complete BOP nipple-down/nipple-

up thereby saving significant rig time. By reducing handling 

of wellhead and BOP equipment and minimizing potential 

wellhead leak paths, the OSH system substantially improves 

safety.
When combined with the SH2 split speedhead system, this 

package can save from 24 to 40 hours of valuable rig time.
