Wellhead side-outlet contingency VR plug integral adaptor

A method of adapting a wellhead side-outlet of a wellhead component to accommodate the installation of a valve removal (VR) plug, the method comprising:

• providing an apparatus configured as a contingency adaptor for the wellhead side-outlet, wherein the apparatus comprises:
• an outer side comprising a first flange and a VR plug profile configured to accommodate installation of the VR plug;
• an inner side opposite the outer side, the inner side comprising a second flange and a neck;
• and
• a test port;
• coupling the apparatus to the wellhead side-outlet, wherein coupling the apparatus to the wellhead side-outlet comprises:
• positioning the neck within the wellhead side-outlet such that an outer surface of the neck faces an inner surface of the wellhead side-outlet;
• creating, with a gasket, a first fluid seal between the second flange and an outer surface of the wellhead side-outlet;
• and
• creating, with a seal placed around an outer diameter of the neck, a second fluid seal between the outer surface of the neck and the inner surface of the wellhead side-outlet;
• and
• pressure testing, via the test port, a volume defined by the apparatus, the wellhead component, the seal, and the gasket.
