Patent attributes
A contingency adaptor for a wellhead side-outlet with a damaged valve removal plug profile. The adaptor includes a neck on one end which may be extended into the wellhead side-outlet for creating a fluid seal between the neck and an inner surface of the wellhead side-outlet. A flange at the one end is configured to receive a gasket for creating a separate fluid seal between the adaptor and an outer surface of the wellhead side-outlet. The adaptor includes a valve removal plug profile at an opposite end to accommodate installation of a valve removal plug. The adaptor also includes a test port for pressure testing the connection between the adaptor and the wellhead side-outlet in order to confirm the integrity of the fluid seal(s) formed there between.
