<p>A wellhead cap assembly (10) includes a high security barrier (16) for installation onto a wellhead (12) for containing any leakage safely and for permitting the installation of a subsea xmas tree onto the wellhead (12) whilst, simultaneously, providing means for containing full pressure control during rectification of the leak. The barrier (16) is provided by an internal tree cap which allows pressure between the top of the tubing hanger (34) and the underside of the tree cap (16) to be monitored by pressure monitoring means (20) via a port (29) in the assembly (10) and, in addition, in the event the presence of well bore fluids is detected indicating that leakage has occurred, the cap assembly allows intervention in order to rectify the leakage.</p> |
