Cementing adapter systems and methods

A cement adapter for fluidly connecting cementing operation equipment to a wellhead assembly comprising a blowout preventer fluidly connected to a casing spool, which is fluidly connected to a casing head, which is fluidly connected to a wellhead casing, the cement adapter comprising:

• a cement adapter for removably engaging with a connector clamp when an upper quick connector is removed from engagement with the connector clamp, and the blowout preventer is removed from fluid connection with the casing spool, the cement adapter including:
• a radial extension to engage an inner surface of the lower quick connector and an inner edge of the connector clamp:
• a plurality of apertures on a top portion of the cement adapter body to receive a corresponding plurality of attachments for installing and uninstalling the cement adapter body:
• and
• at least one sealing element on the outer edge of the cement adapter,
• the cement adapter for removably engaging with a cementing device when the cement adapter is engaged with the connector clamp for delivering liquid cement to the wellhead casing through the casing spool and the casing head.

A wellhead assembly comprising:

• a blowout preventer;
• a casing spool fluidly connected to the blowout preventer;
• a casing head fluidly connecting the casing spool to a wellhead casing;
• a connector clamp;
• an upper quick connector removably coupling the connector clamp to the blowout preventer;
• a lower quick connector removably coupling the connector clamp to the casing spool;
• a cement adapter for removably engaging with the connector clamp when the upper quick connector is removed from engagement with the connector clamp, and the blowout preventer is removed from fluid connection with the casing spool, the cement adapter including a cement adapter body and defining a pressure port disposed through the cement adapter body;
• and
• a cementing device for removably coupling with the cementing adapter when the cement adapter is engaged with the connector clamp for delivering liquid cement to the wellhead casing through the casing spool and the casing head.

A system for connecting a cement string for a cementing operation to a wellhead assembly comprising a blowout preventer fluidly connected to a casing spool, which is fluidly connected to a casing head, which is fluidly connected to a wellhead casing, the system comprising:

• a connector clamp;
• an upper quick for removably engaging the connector clamp;
• a lower quick connector for removably coupling the connector clamp to the casing spool;
• a cement adapter for removably engaging with the connector clamp when the upper quick connector is removed from engagement with the connector clamp, the cement adapter including:
• a cement adapter body having an outer edge that engages at least one sealing element and including a radial protrusion extending outwardly from the cement adapter body;
• and
• the at least one sealing element on the outer edge of the cement adapter body;
• and
• a cementing device for removably coupling with the cementing adapter when the cement adapter is engaged with the connector clamp for delivering liquid cement to the wellhead casing through the casing spool and the casing head.
