A well system includes a wellbore, a conductor extended within the wellbore, and a wellhead installation arranged at an opening to the wellbore. The wellhead installation includes a low-pressure surface wellhead housing (LPWH) having opposing upper and lower ends, an extension joint secured to the lower end at an offsite location prior to delivery to the wellbore, an extended casing head housing (ECHH) providing a body having opposing first and second ends and sized to be received within the LPWH, the second end being secured to an uphole end of surface casing at an offsite location prior to delivery to the wellbore, and one or more annulus valves extending through a sidewall of the LPWH to provide fluid communication with a conductor-casing annulus defined between the conductor and the surface casing when the ECHH is received within the LPWH.
