Abstract
Devices and methods for wellhead landing base inspection utilizing X-rays is provided. In one aspect, a method to inspect a wellhead landing base includes forming a wellbore from a surface of the Earth to a subsurface hydrocarbon reservoir. A cellar surrounding the wellbore is formed. The cellar extends below the surface of the Earth. A conductor pipe and a surface casing are installed within the wellbore. A wellhead is installed at the surface of the Earth. A downhole end of the wellhead is connected to uphole ends of the conductor pipe and the surface casing to form a wellhead landing base that resides in the cellar. An X-ray assembly is placed inside the cellar. The X-ray assembly is oriented towards the wellhead landing base. The wellhead landing base is inspected using the X-ray assembly.
