BigBore™ IIe Subsea Wellhead
Multipurpose Flexibility For Maximum Efficiency
Designed for severe HPHT environments, the BigBore™ IIe combines multiple tool functions with increased capacity, saving time and trips while reducing your carbon footprint.
BigBore™ IIe Subsea Wellhead
Changing The Game With Evolutionary Capability
Fatigue tested to more than 90 million bending cycles with two million lbs. hanger lockdown capacity, Dril-Quip’s BigBore™ IIe is engineered to take on your biggest operational and HSE challenges. Its multipurpose tool design eliminates trips, lowering your carbon footprint, while its expanded capacity can set five casing strings. By eliminating the need for trips and extra drilling and production lockdown devices, it reduces both capital and operational expenses.
The system is available in different pressure capacities—15,000 psi/27-inch (SS15® ) and 20,000 psi/30-inch (SS20™ )—and can be supplied with either legacy profiles or our DXe® locking profile, which delivers the industry’s best structural capacity and fatigue resistance. Both 16- and 18-inch casing, casing hangers, and seal assemblies can pass through the 21-inch OD drilling riser, 18-3/4-inch BOP stack, and the wellhead housing.
