Abstract
A wellhead penetrator includes a mandrel configured to be positioned in a tubing hanger, a wellhead, or both. The wellhead penetrator also includes a housing positioned at least partially within the mandrel. The housing defines a housing bore formed axially therethrough that is configured to receive upper and lower portions of a cable. The upper and lower portions are separated by a gap. The wellhead penetrator also includes a sealing element positioned at least partially within the mandrel and below the housing. The wellhead penetrator is configured to actuate from a first state to a second state in response to a downward force being exerted on the lower portion of the cable. The wellhead penetrator in the first state has the lower portion of the cable positioned at least partially within the housing such that a splice connection exists between the upper and lower portions of the cable.
