Shipping Wellheads and Christmas Trees for Oil and Gas
You move surface or subsea wellheads and christmas trees to a field, and the assemblies are heavy, precisely machined, and high-value. Texas International Freight ships wellheads and trees worldwide from the US Gulf, crated and containerized for smaller units and as breakbulk for large subsea trees. What are you moving?
What We Ship
We ship surface wellheads and surface and subsea christmas trees, along with casing heads, tubing heads, spools, valves, and the actuators and control equipment that come with them. A subsea tree is a large, heavy, delicate assembly that ships in a purpose-built frame, while surface wellhead components crate and containerize. We protect the machined surfaces, the sealing faces, and the bore against damage in transit.
How Wellheads and Trees Ship
Smaller wellhead equipment ships crated in containers, while large subsea trees and full packages move as breakbulk on flat rack and open-top units or on a chartered vessel. Our crews handle export packing with corrosion protection and bracing, and we run the equipment alongside related gear such as blowout preventers as coordinated project logistics.
Documentation and Customs
Each shipment needs a commercial invoice, a packing list, a bill of lading, and a certificate of origin, with an accurate Harmonized System code for every assembly and any export-control screening the equipment requires. Our customs broker desk prepares the set and clears the cargo at destination.
