Choke Manifold for
Oil & Gas Wellhead Solutions
As a core component of our oil & gas wellhead solutions, Gowin’s choke manifold and hydraulic choke manifold systems are engineered to integrate seamlessly with API 6A wellhead equipment and BOP stacks.
We provide international distributors and EPCs with high-performance API 16C choke and kill manifolds and hydraulic systems for safe wellhead pressure control.
What Is a Choke Manifold
in Well Control?
Understanding the Choke Manifold Function
The primary choke manifold function on a drilling rig is to manage casing pressure and maintain bottom-hole pressure balance. When a blowout preventer (BOP) is closed, the manifold allows for the controlled release of fluids.
Integrated Choke and Kill Manifold Systems
A complete choke and kill manifold setup provides a dual-layer defense. While the choke side regulates fluid discharge, the kill side allows for pumping heavy drilling mud directly into the wellbore.
Gowin systems are engineered for safe pressure regulation in extreme HP/HT environments.

and Control Logic
For high-risk HP/HT environments and Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD), Gowin’s hydraulic choke manifold serves as the frontline of defense. It empowers operators to execute precise surface backpressure adjustments directly from the driller’s cabin, ensuring maximum safety distance.
"This remote capability ensures instantaneous response when managing sudden gas kicks or fluid influx, effectively mitigating risk to rig personnel while protecting critical wellhead integrity."
Our control panels are engineered for API 16C compliance, featuring dual hydraulic circuits for 100% redundancy. We offer customized fail-safe strategies and seamless interlocking with ESD systems to meet the most stringent offshore safety philosophies.

API 16C Choke Manifold Specifications and Range
These API choke manifold specifications make our equipment fully compliant for international wellhead and pipeline projects, helping distributors and EPCs reduce technical risk during pre-qualification and audits.
Scenario-Based Applications:
Drilling, Testing, and MPD
Drilling Operations
The choke manifold in drilling rig setups connects the BOP stack to mud-gas separators, providing a controlled path for fluid influx during critical well control events.
Well Testing
A dedicated well test choke manifold ensures precise flow regulation to surface separators during cleanup, production tests, and initial well evaluations.
Managed Pressure (MPD)
Our MPD choke manifold provides the ultra-fine pressure adjustments required to stay within narrow hydraulic windows, effectively protecting the reservoir and formation.

Meeting Tight Deadlines in Algeria
When technical clarifications for an Algerian wellhead project were delayed, leaving only one month for manufacturing, the client faced severe contractual penalties and immediate project risk.
Gowin organized 24/7 production during holiday periods. We delivered the API 16C manifold on time, protecting our partner's reputation and ensuring site operations commenced without delay.
Choke Manifold FAQs
A system of valves and chokes used to regulate surface pressure during well control operations.
It involves a hydrostatic shell test (1.5x WP) and seat leakage tests per API 16C to ensure the integrity of all choke manifold valves.
Yes. We provide a choke manifold manual (PDF), 2D drawings, and 3D STEP models upon request to assist with project engineering.
During a shut-in condition, a choke manifold works by directing well fluids through adjustable or fixed chokes to control surface backpressure. This controlled circulation helps stabilize bottom-hole pressure while safely removing formation influx from the well.
A choke manifold valve is used to isolate flow paths, switch between chokes, and enable safe maintenance under high-pressure conditions. These valves are designed to handle erosive flow and frequent operation during well control events.
A choke manifold line up refers to the specific valve and choke configuration selected to control flow during well control or circulation. Proper line up ensures the correct flow path, avoids dead-end pressure traps, and allows safe switching between chokes when required.
Yes. A choke manifold skid integrates chokes, valves, piping, and instrumentation on a single structural frame. This design simplifies transportation, installation, and commissioning for offshore or remote drilling projects.
The pressure rating of an API 16C choke manifold is determined by working pressure, temperature, fluid composition, and erosion allowance. Proper rating selection ensures compatibility with the BOP stack and well design.
