Bettis PressureGuard Hydraulic Wellhead Protection System
The PressureGuard Wellhead Protection System is an hydraulic ESD system designed for reliable valve shutdown on production wellheads and Christmas trees.
The Bettis™ PressureGuard Hydraulic Wellhead Protection System, developed by Emerson, is a self-contained, fail-safe hydraulic control solution designed to protect wellhead safety valves and ensure immediate emergency shutdown (ESD) in the event of abnormal operating conditions. Built on proven Bettis hydraulic technology, the PressureGuard system provides reliable, independent wellhead control even when external power or hydraulic pressure is lost. The PressureGuard system maintains stored hydraulic energy that can be automatically or manually triggered to operate the wellhead valve, ensuring safe closure during emergencies such as power failure, line rupture, or system malfunction. This design provides fail-safe operation, preventing uncontrolled well flow and protecting personnel, equipment, and the environment. Its compact, corrosion-resistant construction and field-proven reliability make it ideal for use in onshore and offshore oil and gas wells. The modular design allows for easy installation, configuration, and maintenance, and it integrates seamlessly with Bettis and Shafer hydraulic actuators for complete wellhead automation and safety solutions. Engineered to meet international safety and performance standards, the Bettis PressureGuard Hydraulic Wellhead Protection System delivers unmatched reliability and peace of mind in critical wellhead control applications.
