Expert Rebuilding Services
CHICO Wellheads excels in rebuilding both old-style and new-style wellheads. Our technical versatility allows us to extend equipment life, ensure proper fit, and maintain operational integrity, regardless of the equipment's generation. We accurately identify, repair, and rebuild legacy and modern wellhead systems to deliver unmatched quality.
Our precision valve & wellhead refurbishment adheres to strict inspection, machining, sealing, and pressure-testing procedures. Each component is restored to ensure safety, reliability, and performance, providing our clients with equipment they can trust in critical field operations.
With comprehensive parts knowledge & compatibility expertise, we excel at matching the correct components—valves, chokes, seals, gaskets, bolts, and adapters—to each specific wellhead configuration. This reduces downtime, prevents costly errors, and ensures seamless system compatibility in the field.
Unique Processes & Specialized Equipment
CHICO Wellheads combines technical processes, specialized tooling, and strict quality control to stand out in the industry. Our controlled inspection & rebuild process includes full disassembly, cleaning, dimensional inspection, sealing surface restoration, reassembly, and pressure testing. This ensures each unit meets operational and safety requirements before returning to service.
We utilize specialized wellhead & valve equipment for precision machining and sealing surface repair, torque-controlled assembly, pressure and function testing, and measuring and verifying tolerances on critical components. This allows us to rebuild equipment to a level that matches or exceeds original performance.
Our expertise in cross-compatibility enables us to identify and adapt components between different manufacturers, old-style and new-style wellheads, and mixed systems. This skill is rare and extremely valuable in the field, where mismatched parts can cause failures and delays.
Additionally, each rebuild is supported with documentation & traceability, including inspection records, pressure test verification, and parts replacement tracking, providing customers with confidence, accountability, and reliability.
Our commitment to industry standards ensures that our work follows recognized oilfield best practices for safety, pressure containment, and mechanical integrity.
Solving Complex Problems for Our Clients
Solving Mismatched Old-Style and New-Style Equipment: A client had a well shut in because their wellhead was an old-style system, but the replacement parts they sourced were new-style and not sealing correctly. Other vendors said the equipment was incompatible. Our team identified the exact configuration, selected the correct adapters, seals, and bolt patterns, and rebuilt the connection properly. The well was back online without replacing the full wellhead, saving the client major downtime and capital cost.
Emergency Valve Failure Before Startup: A customer discovered a valve leaking during pressure testing right before a critical startup. Replacing it would have delayed operations by days. We disassembled, resurfaced the sealing areas, replaced internal components, rebuilt the valve, and pressure tested it on-site. The valve passed and the project stayed on schedule.
Extending the Life of a Damaged Wellhead: A wellhead showed sealing issues due to worn gasket surfaces. Another provider recommended full replacement. Our technicians repaired the sealing surfaces, restored tolerances, installed the correct ring gaskets and fasteners, and pressure tested the assembly. The wellhead returned to service safely, extending its life and saving thousands in replacement costs.
Identifying Incorrect Parts Before Failure: We often find installations where bolts, gaskets, or seals are not the correct grade or size. In one case, we stopped a job before pressure-up because the wrong gasket material was installed. Correcting it prevented a potential failure, leak, and safety incident.
