<strong>Well</strong> head<br />

The top of a casing head<br />

has a cone-shaped bowl<br />

that holds the casing<br />

hanger.<br />

A casing hanger is a set of<br />

slips that grips and supports<br />

a casing string.<br />

Metal and rubber packing<br />

rings fit over the slips to<br />

complete the casing hanger<br />

assembly and provide an<br />

annular seal.<br />

Threaded or flanged outlets<br />

on the side of the casing<br />

head allow access to the<br />

sealed annulus for pressure<br />

gauges that warn of casing<br />

leaks.
