Wellhead Control Panel (WHCP)

WHCP are failsafe shutdown systems that contain pneumatic/hydraulic/electric


components. WHCPs are standalone control systems as well as an interface between
the plant control and the wellhead safety system.
WHCPs are applied to monitor, control (Remote/Local) and safe shutdown of Surface
Controlled Subsurface Safety Valves (SCSSV), Surface Safety Valves (SSV), and other
wellhead safety valves (Choke, Emergency Shutdown (ESD), High-Integrity Pressure
Protection System (HIPPS) in oil & gas production fields to ensure safe operation of
unattended wells/platforms.
WHCPs have multiple applications, which include, but are not limited to:
- Safe and Sequential Operation of Wellhead Valves (SCSSV/SSV/Wing Etc.)
- Emergency and Fire Shutdown
- Safe Operation of Riser Valves
- Flowline Pressure control
- Well Test Operation
- HIPPS /ESD/ Choke Valve Control
- Partial Stroking
