Superior subsea wellhead connectors
The Dril-Quip DXe® Wellhead Connector is a proven solution that is ideal for high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT), severe bending, and high-fatigue conditions. It is an evolution in connector technology that encompasses years of experience and lessons learned from our earlier, highly successful DX® and SDX® Connector designs, which have been used for more than 20 years throughout the world – from shallow water Gulf of Mexico with its adverse ocean currents to the critical service environment of ultra-deepwater Brazil.
Features
- Exceptional risk reduction
- Proprietary latching profile provides superior fatigue performance
- Eliminates bolts in the load path, preventing the failures experienced with other connectors
- Engineered for long service life in the most demanding high-pressure, high-temperature conditions
- Engineered for long service life in the most demanding high-pressure, high-temperature conditions
Subsea connectors designed for deep water
Dril-Quip DX® Wellhead Connectors are available in a variety of designs and configurations and can be modified to meet specific customer requirements. The DX-10® Connector is pressure rated to 10,000 PSI, and the DX-15® is pressure rated to 15,000 PSI. These connectors are ideally suited for use with a subsea BOP stack or subsea completion Tree.
Features
- High bending and tension capacity
- High load capacity
- Simple, reliable, trouble-free operation
- Top connection can be a clamp, flange, or studded connection
- Latching segments automatically retract when the connector is unlocked
