<p>A test plug for use in pressure testing a Christmas tree and blowout preventer atop an oil or gas wellhead. The test plug includes a cylindrical body having an outer diameter slightly smaller than the bore of the wellhead, and a plurality of support dogs that fit into an annular groove in the wellhead to support the plug during pressure testing. The plug is landed on a relatively narrow shoulder in the bore of the wellhead and the dogs are then extended into the groove by vertical movement of a mandrel, thereby lifting the plug off the shoulder and securely supporting it in test position.</p> |
