The BOP equipment installation shall conform to the following … Wellhead equipment should withstand anticipated pressures and allow for future remedial operations. Ram type preventers should be installed the correct way up. All connections, valves, fittings, piping, etc., subject to well pressure, must be flanged, clamped or welded and have a minimum working pressure equal … Installation requirements for wellhead and BOP equipment

The diverter is installed on top of the wellhead to enable flow from shallow formations to be diverted away from the work area in case of a shallow gas kick. However, current diverter equipment is not yet designed to withstand an erosive shallow gas kick for a prolonged period. The diverter system is still seen … Diverter equipment

The subsea BOP equipment may comprise either a single stack or a two-stack system. The single stack system is preferred. The single stack system consists of one large bore BOP stack (generally 18 3/4″) with a working pressure classification of 10,000 psi or 15,000 psi. The two-stack system consists of a 2000 psi WP large … Subsea blowout prevention (BOP) equipment

Surface blowout prevention equipment (BOP) is that equipment used in land operations and operations where the wellhead is above the water level. Given in this article are the MINIMUM requirements for each working pressure classification. 1. 2000 psi WP classification Where equipment of this classification will suffice, the BOP stack will consist of: One annular … Surface BOP equipment

Well control equipment falls into five basic working pressure classifications:·13,800 kPa (2000 psi) WP,·20,700 kPa (3000 psi) WP,·34,500 kPa (5000 psi) WP,·69,000 kPa (10,000 psi) WP,·103,500 kPa (15,000 psi) WP. The BOP stack rating of used BOP”s (> 5 years old) should be at least 10% higher than the maximum expected surface pressure that could … Classification of BOP and well control equipment.
