Wellhead Leak Incident

We see an active leak at a wellhead, possibly involving gas fluids. This isn’t just a minor issue—such leaks can pose serious safety, environmental, and operational risks if not managed immediately.

Key Concerns:
-Safety Hazard: Any uncontrolled flow at the wellhead puts personnel at risk of injury.
-Environmental Impact: Leaks can result in contamination if hydrocarbons or brines escape to the surface.
-Operational Downtime: If not addressed promptly, this could escalate to a full shut-in or even a blowout in worst-case scenarios.

What Can Be Done?
-Regular inspection of seals, valves, and flanges at the wellhead.
-Immediate pressure testing and isolation when a leak is detected.
-Training crews to recognize early signs and act quickly.
-Implementation of a well integrity management system (WIMS).
