Wellhead.
A valve company owner once said, “ if given the choice, I’d only be in the replacement parts business.”
Wellhead chokes and gate valves operate in highly erosive and sometimes corrosive environments. Bodies, bonnets, gates, seats, and stems are prone to washing out. Most wellhead chokes and valves imported from eastern Asia were purchased without a reliable source of replacement parts. AFP has exploited this supply-demand imbalance as the parts must be made under the API 6A quality specification.
Following the Deepwater Horizon explosion, the American Petroleum Institute has considerably increased its documentation requirements, the depths at which its audits probe, and the severity of its penalties – often the revocation of the API License. Here too, AFP has availed its meticulous adherence to API standards and requirements for hire by branded equipment manufacturers who have lost their licenses.
AFP can economically drive higher operating margins for these business lines with the net impact being internal overhead of API records keeping. The in-house web based document server facilitates the consistent flow of API replacement parts and API Monogrammed equipment.
Wellhead equipment is a generic name for all the equipment assembled on production tree of the gas and oil platform well.
