For jackup rigs drilling in deeper waters, shifting the weight of the well from the platform to the seabed is an essential safety requirement. Mudline suspension solutions from Cactus International provide the answer. Starting in the early 60s and continuing into today, our mudline equipment safely transfers all the weight of the casing strings to the seabed.
Typically tied back to the surface wellhead on the jackup platform, our mudline equipment helps ensure safer shallow-water drilling at water depths up to 450 feet (137 m). The equipment allows for the reliable installation of individual mudline hangers with each casing string, which interconnect at a preset point below the mudline. Our mudline equipment also provides an efficient way to anchor a horizontal or conventional tree as part of a subsea completion.
Select from a wide range of mudline suspension equipment for your specific drilling needs. Our most widely applicable solutions include:

New energy developments like geothermal projects introduce extreme well conditions that traditional wellhead systems can’t match. The Cactus International line of Geothermal Wellhead Solutions helps you reliably tackle corrosive fluids, high temperatures, and other harsh geothermal well conditions. The result—safe, cost-effective, and efficient project delivery and long-term economic success.
Our geothermal experts partner with customers across the globe and the project lifecycle—including exploration, planning, drilling, production, and heat utilization—to deliver safe, renewable geothermal energy.
We’ll work with you to develop customized wellhead solutions that meet all your technical requirements. From low to high pressures and temperatures ranging from 250°F (121°C) to 650°F (345°C), we’ll deliver the right solution for you—reliably and economically.
You can select from both innovative Compact Wellhead Solutions and Conventional Wellhead Systems, which are proven in severe service applications including steam injection wells, steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD), and industrial plant applications.
These wellhead systems include geothermal valves designed for high-temperature service. Special geothermal trims provide ease of operation and well safety in applications where corrosive fluids, abrasive fluids, and/or hydrate buildup pose damage risks to drive threads.

Extending the operating life of your surface assets is crucial to optimizing production and minimizing costs. The Cactus International engageSPC™ digital platform helps you extend surface equipment life through improved maintenance planning, optimized equipment performance, and improved equipment insights.
The engageSPC platform includes several digital offerings that provide efficient reporting, issue resolution, and data collection for proactive maintenance over time.
Business intelligence services collect, analyze, and visualize your equipment’s data from different sources. Use this data to develop plans, improve decision-making, track performance, and identify trends—all of which help reduce risks during project execution and delivery.
Installed base solutions let you manage and optimize the lifecycle of your wellheads and Christmas trees by tracking equipment installations, maintenance schedules, and repairs. And through automated maintenance alerts and spare part workflows, engageSPC maximizes operational efficiency and extends your surface wellhead’s value.
The digital vendor management inventory (VMI) is a proven system for fully managing your wellhead and Christmas tree spares inventory. Through advanced planning, VMI ensures that spare parts are available on time.
By shifting maintenance activities from a conditional to a fully managed service model, the engageSPC platform optimizes the performance of your surface equipment in several ways:

When you need reliable pressure control for your wells, conventional wellhead systems from Cactus International deliver. Built on more than 100 years of surface pressure control innovations, our wellheads will operate under the most severe pressure, temperature, and flow conditions—while keeping your costs under control.
We offer wellhead sizes and capacities for any drilling, production, and fluid media application, all based on variable-bowl technology that meet or exceed API 6A specifications (latest edition). Our conventional wellhead solutions include:
Contact your Cactus International representative to learn how our conventional wellhead systems can deliver effective well control in your most demanding applications.
Because your wells have unique drilling challenges, you need more than an off-the-shelf surface pressure control product. Compact Multibowl Wellhead solutions from Cactus International fit this need, with customized designs to tackle your harshest well conditions and make your projects economic—and successful.
We pioneered the Multibowl concept for the oil and gas industry to suspend multiple casing or tubing strings within one wellhead. This innovation reduces your rig time by avoiding the need to remove and reinstall the blowout preventer stack after running each casing string. We’ve kept refining the Compact Multlbowl Wellhead to make it shorter and lighter—reducing wellhead height and weight in both onshore and offshore drilling applications.
Our subject matter experts are committed to identifying and deploying the right compact solution for your specific needs. Select from our full range of proven pressure control systems, which combine well-established technologies with our application expertise and experience to reduce nondrilling time, enhance safety, and lower the total cost of every well.
Commercially ready solutions include our innovative MS-TTL and MS-NT Wellhead Solutions. Built on the legacy of our MS-metal seal family, these solutions deliver true metal-to-metal seals while providing an optional single-trip running tool to test both the casing hanger and the annulus seal. An optional metal-to-metal sealing stem packing on all annuli valves helps further reduce fugitive emissions. Digital temperature and pressure sensing technologies linked to a customized control system help enhance digitalization while improving your predictive maintenance and remote operations throughout the life of the well.
Contact your Cactus International representative to learn how our Compact Multibowl Wellhead solutions can help you meet your performance goals, safely and economically.
New energy developments like carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) introduce new challenges that traditional wellhead systems can’t meet. CCUS Wellhead Solutions from Cactus International tackle extreme temperatures and harsh well conditions to make your carbon capture and injection projects economic–and successful.
Safe underground CO2 storage requires a deep understanding of both the subsurface and surface chemistry. That’s why our subject matter experts are committed to working with you to identify the right solutions based on your specific needs.
Because no two projects are alike, one-size-fits-all wellhead solutions won’t deliver the performance you demand. With a mix of our well-established technologies and our expertise in CCUS, we develop and provide safe and reliable wellhead technology solutions, such as our Innovative Compact Wellhead Solutions and Conventional Wellhead Systems.
Compact wellheads such as the MS-TTL wellhead Solution are built on the legacy of our MS-metal seal family to deliver true metal-to-metal seals, while providing an optional single-trip running tool to test both the casing hanger and the annulus seal. The MS-TTL system maintains high standards of reliable and safe operation. An optional integration of a cutting edge metal-to-metal sealing stem packing further enhances fugitive emissions reduction. And digital temperature and pressure sensing technology, in combination with a customized control system, will further enhance digitalization while supporting predictive maintenance and remote operations through the life of field.
Conventional solutions like the WG and D15/CWCT Conventional Wellhead Systems offer field-proven surface pressure control. The WG’s elastomeric seals provide cost-efficient performance in most field operations, while the D15/CWCT incorporates metal-to-metal seals that deliver greater flexibility and control under extreme temperatures and harsh well conditions.
