Step 19: Installing the Christmas Tree
The production Christmas tree, sometimes
called the flow assembly, controls the flow
of the well. It is made up of a seal flange, or
tubing head adapter, a series of valves, and
a choke. The valves are stacked vertically
and horizontally to provide backup should a
valve fail. Each Christmas tree has at least
one actuated surface safety valve to shut
down the well in an emergency and prevent
damage to equipment downstream. The
Christmas tree is connected to a flowline,
which transports the well’s fluid or gas.
