CCI - Control Components Inc. - Wellhead production choke

CCI Technology Product Update
CCI Introduces the DRAG® Wellhead Production Choke Valve for Severe Service Gas Applications

Up to 6 stages for superior velocity control
Solid tungsten carbide trim for excellent erosion resistance
Severe service technology proven in the most demanding of conditions

CCI introduces the world’s first true severe service choke valve for gas wellhead production. Today’s field environment means higher wellhead pressures, aggressive fluids, entrained sand and other solid particles that wreak havoc on conventional single-stage choke trim. The need to maintain production rates means that frequent choke repair or replacement is not acceptable.

The CCI DRAG® wellhead choke is the culmination of over 40 years of oil and gas industry severe service control valve engineering experience, featuring a unique combination of proven DRAG® velocity control technology and the best grades of tungsten carbide material used in the industry to provide superior trim life and precise process control.

Capable of operation at high pressure differentials for extended periods the CCI choke with DRAG® trim provides better control of fluid velocities resulting in extended life of trim components and in turn less frequent repairs, which means increased production time. A solid tungsten carbide plug, seat and disk stack eliminate erosion and galling and also extend performance life. Large disk stack flow passages handle solids and multi-step letdown controls velocity, erosion, noise, and vibration for not only minimum downtime but also improved safety. Easy maintenance, quick-change trim means no trim parts are welded or screwed into the body and a single choke body can handle changing wellhead conditions by swapping trim for less down time.
