    The key takeaways are that Speedloc quick connectors can reduce rig time for wellhead connections by up to 90% compared to flanged connections. They also improve safety by reducing the time spent in harsh weather conditions or working under a BOP. Speedloc clamps pay for themselves by saving on rig rates.

    Speedloc clamps are quick connectors that can make wellhead connections in under 30 minutes, much faster than conventional flanged connections. They minimize rig time in harsh conditions and reduce safety risks. Speedloc clamps also save on rig costs by reducing the number of times connections need to be made up or broken out.

    Some key features of Speedloc clamps include preassembled segments to eliminate loose parts, a traveling nut to align segments, a self-energized metal seal, a face-to-face makeup design that exceeds bending loads of flanges, and retention bolts to secure segments to the hub.

    Speedloc Clamps

    The more you connect, the more you save.


    Speedloc I
    Offshore rig rates are on the rise and the struggle to control costs is getting more
    difficult every day. Since every wellhead connection needs to be made up or
    broken out at least three times: nippling up the BOP; nippling down the BOP; and
    connecting your next or final component; you need the quickest solution possible.
    If you're drilling a single well or drilling on a platform, you save an average of
    3 hours every time the connection is nippled up or down. The chart below
    indicates the time savings of a Speedloc clamp compared to the installation of
    a conventional flange:

    Preassembled segments eliminate loose


    parts and pinch points
    Traveling nut keeps segments aligned to
    the hub, providing faster installation
    The straight-bore metal seal (SBMS) is a
    self-energized seal with the capability to
    conform to well movement due to a high
    bending moment
    Face-to-face makeup design exceeds the
    bending loads of API flanges and other
    clamp-type connections

    Speedloc II
    Segments can be attached to either the
    upper or lower wellhead/riser component
    Retaining & alignment bolt forces
    retention of the segment with the hub for
    easy installation

    You save 9 hours of rig time, no matter what - and with todays rig rates,
    Speedloc clamps do more than pay for themselves.

    Traveling nut aligns segments with the


    hub for quick installation
    Standard API RX/BXgasket maximizes
    flexibility
    Traveling washer allows the segment to
    move with the nut while remaining in
    position, eliminating "pinch" points

    Your safety matters.

    Clamp/hub profile adapts to standard


    API flanges for maximum compatibility

    Offshore, the external environment can expose both


    equipment and operators to harsh elements. That's why
    minimizing rig time is so important.
    Unlike a flanged connection, Speedloc quick connectors
    can be made up safely in less than 30 minutes - even
    with a large-bore stackup - thus minimizing your time in
    harsh weather or working under a BOP by nearly 90%.
    In addition to severe weather and working under a
    suspended BOP, recordable incidents during installation
    were also studied during the development of the
    Speedloc. That's how FMC engineers equipment - we
    look at your real-world needs and deliver the tools for a
    safer operation.

    The two Speedloc designs offered by FMC, the Speedloc I &


    II, are configured to provide maximum compatibility for BOPs,
    risers, trees, and wellheads. A wide range of sizes and
    pressure ratings is available; from 7 1/16" 20K to 21 3/4" 2K.
    With higher bending loads than conventional flanges and
    other industry clamps, the durability of Speedloc clamps is
    certified through extensive FEA testing. FEA (Finite Element
    Analysis) predicts the stress levels placed on the clamps in
    typical working conditions, and when coupled with API 6A
    PR2 (Annex F) qualification, further ensures Speedloc reliability.
