  • Retrivevable frac mandrel and well control stack to facilitate well completion, re-completion or workover and method of use
    Patent number: 7806175
    Abstract: A retrievable frac mandrel and a well control adapter are used to efficiently accomplish well completion, re-completion or workover. The retrievable frac mandrel is inserted in a tubing head spool of a well to be completed, re-completed or re-worked. The well control adapter is mounted to a top of the tubing head spool and seals off against a top of the retrievable frac mandrel. After well completion, re-completion or workover is completed, the frac mandrel can be retrieved from the tubing head spool without killing or plugging the well.
