Abstract
A wellhead penetrator includes a mandrel having first and second ends, a lock nut that is adjustably connected to the second end of the mandrel, a tapered bowl positioned within the lock nut, the mandrel, or both, and a cable lock assembly at least partially received into the mandrel and the lock nut. Moving the lock nut in an axial direction relative to the mandrel causes the cable lock assembly to grip a cable received therethrough. The penetrator also includes a sealing element positioned at least partially within the mandrel and spaced apart from the tapered bowl, and a backup member positioned adjacent to the sealing element and at least partially within the mandrel. The backup member presses against the sealing element so as to prevent misalignment of the sealing element, and the mandrel, the lock nut, the sealing element, and the backup member receive the cable therethrough.
