Regaining control can be accomplished either by restoring functionality to the
existing wellhead or by drilling a relief well to penetrate the existing well, then plugging the well.
New developments in drilling technology, along with
higher wellhead prices, have made the Marcellus Shale an important natural gas resource.
The first case, Oil States Energy Services, LLC v. Greene's Energy Group, LLC, involved a patent owned by Oil States and relating to technology for

wellhead failure in Jefferson County resulted in the forced evacuation of nearly 400 homeowners.
Achieved maximum perforation of hydrocarbon veins for gas extraction by transferring acid treatment solution
down wellheads.
Any serious plan to combat global warming must address methane, which is is vented and leaked
from wellheads, compressors, and pipelines all across the natural gas system.
... [A] whopping 42 percent decrease in ads for five extraction occupations (derrick operators, rotary drill operators, service unit operators,

In the AEO 2017 Reference case, the natural gas
wellhead price projection has remained essentially the same as last year until 2022.
Responsible for all documents, weld maps... conjunction with underwriters laboratories for manufacturing of light structural and architectural components... Welder installed conductor pipes and
wellheads in production fields.
So there's little point in refining near
the wellhead.
Wellheads would be installed along the 2,300 - mile route to provide water to farmers.
Eagle Ford shale drillers were forced to shut in some shale output as both the takeaway capacity (i.e., pipelines) and Gulf Coast refineries went offline, backing up crude at
the wellhead.
It means protecting our air, land and water by controlling all greenhouse gas emissions, from
wellhead to waterline.
It gives a little bit more of a stable outlook in terms of its earnings - generating capabilities, versus Kinder Morgan does have a little upstream production, a little closer to
the wellhead.
It didn't stop, until modern technology got
the wellhead capped.
During the period studied by the authors, 19,000 barrels per day of oil were also captured by an inverted funnel, or «top hat,» that was placed directly above
the wellhead, which decreased the amount of oil that escaped into the sea.
In 2012, the group spearheaded a collaboration with industry and academic scientists to better quantify methane emissions and identify leaky infrastructure, from
the wellhead all the way to the urban distribution system.
They focused on the period starting June 3, 2010, when the riser pipe was cut at
the wellhead by engineers, until July 15, 2010 — a timespan when a large number of scientific observations were collected nearby in the air and ocean.
The research team then used the model to conduct a key test that was never done in real life: They ran the model to see what likely would have happened if dispersants had not been injected immediately above
the wellhead during the same time period.
The goal was to break up petroleum that surged uncontrollably from
the wellhead into smaller droplets in the deep sea, with the goals of diminishing oil slicks and reducing the amount of harmful gases arriving at the ocean surface.
Opponents said the dispersants themselves were toxic, may have caused environmental damage, and were not effective at reducing the already small droplets forming at
the wellhead.
