Blowout Preventer (BOP) The equipment (or valve) installed at the wellhead to contain wellbore pressure either in the annular space between the casing and the tubulars or in an open hole during drilling, completion, testing,or workover operations. 18-3/4 - 15,000 Ram BOP Field replaceable seal seat for long service life and easy field repair Multiple position locking (MPL) automatically locks rams in a seal-off position BOP can be equippedwith blind shear,variable, pipe or casingrams for ultimate wellcontrol flexibility Cylinder liners field replaceable Hinged bonnets for ease of ram access Fluid hinges removable for rapid simple seal replacement One piece piston rod for strength and durability 18-3/4 15,000 Ram BOP Bonnet bolts sized and arranged for reliable bonnet seal operation and proper bonnet stress distribution Side outlets Availablepressureenergized bonnetseal conversion Stainless steel linedring grooves forcorrosion resistance Piston seals pressure energizedlip seal for reliable seal operation OperationHydraulic Circuit Application of hydraulic pressure to the operating cylinders pushes the pistons inward or outward to close or open the rams The multiple position lock is an automaticlock, locking the rams in place after theyare closed hydraulically Operating chambers are ratedfor 3000 psi continuousoperation and have beentested to 4500 psi Hydraulic closing pressuresfrom 100 psi to 300 psi indicate satisfactory operation OperationHydraulic Circuit (continued) Hydraulic pressure applied to closing port initiates fluid flow in drilled passages in the BOP body Fluid flows from the body through the fluid hinge to the bonnet hinge Fluid then flows from the bonnet hinge through a drilled passage in the bonnet and exits between the cylinder and cylinder liner OperationHydraulic Circuit (continued) Fluid then acts on the backside of the rams closing them Fluid from the opening sides is pushedout the porting in the bonnet Fluid flows through
