Overview
Bring your oil and gas wells into production earlier, and with less risk and expense, with the proven medium water horizontal tree (MHXT) system from Baker Hughes. With more than 400 deployments worldwide over the past three decades, the configurable MHXT provides a cost-efficient means to shorten project execution times and get to first oil or gas sooner for a faster return on investment.
The MXHT is designed for flexibility in a wide range of applications and field needs. The system accommodates both guideline and guideline-less drilling and completion techniques using vessels of convenience, which helps reduce OPEX installation costs.
The MXHT can be used from jack-up rigs, semisubmersibles, and drillships, and can be configured to suit all manner of well management needs. The system is also configurable for artificial lift systems to maintain production rates when reservoir pressure drops or heavy oil is experienced. Further design options include the addition of chemical injection metering capabilities and integrated fishing protection to avoid the need for standalone structures.
With operating pressures up to 10,000 psi, temperatures between 0°F and 300°F (-18°C to 149°C), and water depths up to 2,500ft (750m), the MHXT provides flexibility for satellite, cluster, or template configurations. This optimizes your field architecture and helps minimize costs during initial development.
