Wellhead Control Panel (WHCP) Architecture in Oil and Gas Automation
- 〡 by WUPAMBO
Upstream oil and gas operations rely on specialized field control platforms to manage wellhead extraction safety and hydraulic actuation. A Wellhead Control Panel (WHCP) serves as a dedicated hydraulic and pneumatic power unit designed to operate critical Christmas Tree isolation valves. By interfacing field safety components directly with Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) architecture, a WHCP protects upstream extraction assets against overpressure, catastrophic leaks, and thermal emergencies.
