5. Captor Penetrator System

Rated for 300°F and 5000 psi, the Captor Penetrator System covers the majority of ESP well applications and is designed and tested to handle harsh environments. The Captor system has positive keying between the feedthru and the surface connector using a Delta-shaped key that engages with a triangle-shaped opening in the feedthru. This system positively prevents inadvertent rotation of the surface connector when engaged with the feedthru.

Ease of installation is enhanced because the surface connector may be oriented at one of three positions with respect to the feedthru.

Surface Connectors are supplied with coupling rings retained by ball bearings. This retention method ensures longer life, better resistance to corrosion, and easier engagement.

6. E-ZEE Feed 5000 Wellhead System

The 5K E-Zee Feed is an advanced 2-piece penetrator system intended for use in wells where downhole pressure may vary, such as with hydraulic fracturing. The penetrator is intended for installation from below the tubing hanger. Attachment of the field attachable penetrator to ESP cable is quick, easy, and reliable. When prepared cable conductors are inserted into the contacts, a single compression nut energizes all three seals simultaneously. A secondary PEEK pressure block easily absorbs momentary pressure excursions without damage to penetrator seals or other components.
