Abstract: A wellhead housing of a wellhead assembly can include a body having a top end, a bottom end, and a cavity that traverses its length between the top end and the bottom end. The wellhead housing can also include a main channel that traverses the body from the cavity at a distal end of the main channel to an outer perimeter of the body at a proximal end of the main channel, where the proximal end of the main channel is located closer to the top end of the body compared to the distal end of the main channel, and where the distal end of the main channel is located closer to the bottom end of the body compared to the proximal end of the main channel.

Abstract: A wellhead bracing system for a subsea well includes a base plate assembly and a wellhead brace assembly. The base plate assembly comprises a top surface, a bottom surface, a base plate aperture, and a plurality of anchor holes. The wellhead brace assembly comprises a vertical plate assembly having a cylindrical shape, a horizontal plate assembly to which the vertical plate assembly is attached, and a vertical support assembly attached to an outer surface of the vertical plate assembly and attached to the top surface of the horizontal plate assembly. Horizontal plate holes of the horizontal plate assembly are configured to attach to studs on the top surface of the base plate to secure the wellhead brace assembly to the base plate assembly. The wellhead bracing system slides onto a wellhead of the subsea well and braces an exterior of the wellhead.

Abstract: Dimensions of a tool moving in/out of a well may be measured during well operations. The measured dimensions of the tool may be used to analyze the well operations. Analysis of well operations may include identification of types of well operations being performed at the well, monitoring of the well operations, benchmarking of the well operations, identification of tools being used in the well operations, and/or other analysis of the well operations.

Abstract: A tubing hanger retention system for a wellhead assembly can include a retention ring that is configured to fit over a top portion of a tubing hanger of the wellhead assembly, where the retention ring comprises a plurality of retention ring channels. The tubing hanger retention system can also include multiple retention pin receiving features configured to be disposed, at least in part, within multiple tubing spool channels of a tubing spool. The tubing hanger retention system can further include multiple retention pins configured to be received by the retention pin receiving features, where each retention pin includes an engagement feature configured to be received by a retention pin receiving feature to place the retention pin in a captured state, where the engagement feature of each retention pin is further configured to enter into an engaged state with a retention ring channel when the retention pin is moved inward.

Abstract: Sensors may be located remotely from a rig of a well. The sensors may operate independently of the rig, and generate remote sensor information that characterizes operating characteristics of the well independent of the rig. The operation of the well may be analyzed based on the remote sensor information.

Abstract: A testable back pressure valve can include a body. The valve can also include a first flow regulating device movably disposed within a top end of the body, where the first flow regulating device is configured to move from a first default position to a first position based on first flow characteristics of a first fluid that flows into a top end of the body toward a bottom end of the body. The valve can further include a second flow regulating device movably disposed within the bottom end of the body. The valve can also include a network of channels disposed within the body between the first flow regulating device and the second flow regulating device.

Abstract: A multi-well pad for fracturing a subterranean formation can include a valve assembly that includes a shuttle valve, an inlet, a first outlet, and a second outlet, where the inlet is coupled to a fracturing pump, where the first outlet is coupled to a first well, where the second outlet is coupled to a second well, where first shuttle valve has a first position and a second position. The fracturing pump and the first well can form a continuous first path through the valve assembly while closing off a second path between the fracturing pump and the second well when the shuttle valve is in the first position. The fracturing pump and the second well can form a continuous second path through the valve assembly while closing off the first path between the fracturing pump and the first well when the shuttle valve is in the second position.
