BLOWOUT PREVENTER
Why Blowout Preventer are used?
•Kick : An influx of formation fluid into the wellbore
Выброс: Приток пластовой жидкости в ствол скважины
•Blowout : An uncontrolled flow of well fluids and/or
formation fluid from the wellbore or into lower pressured sub-
surface zones (underground blowout)
Фонтан: Неконтролируемый поток скважинных флюидов и / или
пластового флюида из ствола скважины или в зоны
подповерхностей с более низким давлением (подземный выброс)
•Blowout Preventer : An assembly of valves attached to the
casing head that allows the well to be sealed to confine the
well fluids in the wellbore.
…………… Позволяет скважине запечатывать, чтобы
ограничить скважинные флюиды в стволе скважины .
Blowout preventer are of two types-
i) Annular BOP
ii) Ram BOP
CRITERIA FOR SELECTION OF BOP
Selection of BOP determined by the following factors: Выбор BOP
определяется следующими факторами:
• Maximum anticipated surface pressure. Максимальное
ожидаемое поверхностное давление.
• Size of casing, casing hanger, bit and other drilling tools to be
lowered through the BOP stack. Размер колонны, хангера для
обсадной колонны, долота и другие инструменты проходящие
через сборку ПВО.
• Space available between top of cellar pit and bottom of rotary
table. Пространство между шахтой и роторным столом .
• Matching flange connection according to the size and pressure
rating of wellhead flange. Соответствие фланцев в соответствии
с размером и давлением фланца устья скважины.
• Service conditions. Условия обслуживания.
Standard Sizes of BOP:
71/16”, 9”, 11”, 135/8”, 16¾”, 18¾”, 21¼”, 26¾”, 28”,
291/2”, 30”. Size refers to - ID, Nominal Diameter, Through bore
Rated Working Pressure (RWP):
2M, 3M, 5M, 10M, 15M, 20M
The maximum pressure that the equipment can withstand
(contain) and control. Максимальное давление, которое
оборудование может выдерживать (содержать) и контролировать.
Shell Test or Manufacturer Test or Body Test:
•Only once in the factory (1 раз на заводе)
•2M, 3M, 5M – 2 TIMES the RWP(rated working pressure)
(2 раза Номинальное рабочее давление)
•10M and above – 1.5 TIMES the RWP

RAM BOP
•Ram Preventers are designed to seal the annulus
by forcing two front packing elements which make
contact with each other and seal around the object
in the well bore.
•Pipe Ram : It seals around the well bore and the
fixed size of pipe.
•Blind Ram : It seals around the well if no pipe in the
well bore.
•Variable Bore Ram : It seals around several pipe
sizes depending on the range of variable bore ram.
•Shear Ram : It shear the pipe in the well and seal
the wellbore simultaneously.

ANNULAR BOP
A large circular valve used to control wellbore fluid.
• Rounded Elastomer with reinforced steel segments
• Deforms the rubber radially inwards and seals
• Can close around different shapes such as square and
hexagonal kelly, drill collars, tool joint etc including wire line.
Может закрываться вокруг различных форм, таких как
квадратный и шестиугольный келли, бурильные ошейники,

MAKE
•Performed to verify the component’s intended operations
•The test should be conducted when the drill string is inside casing
•Function test should be carried out alternatively from main control
unit/derrick floor panel/auxiliary panel
•Actuation time of each equipment should be within the limits
specified by API RP53 Время срабатывания каждого оборудования
должно быть в пределах, указанных API RP53
•Recorded final accumulator pressure after all the functions should
not be less than 1200 psi or 200 psi above the pre charged
pressure of accumulator which ever is maximum Зафиксированное
окончательное давление аккумулятора после того, как все
функции должны быть не ниже 1200 фунтов на квадратный дюйм
или 200 фунтов на квадратный дюйм выше предварительно
заряженного давления аккумулятора, который когда-либо был
максимальным
•At least once in a week
FUNCTION TEST
•Record initial Accumulator pressure
•Turn off both electric and pneumatic pumps
•Close Annular BOP and Pipe Ram BOP and
open HCR one by one
•Wait till pressure is stabilized
•Record the closing time (closing time starts from
turning the control lever till pressure stabilized)
•Turn on electrical/Pneumatic pump and open all
the preventer
•Record the opening time
•Record final Accumulator pressure
•Record all the results in the prescribed format

BOP FUNCTION TEST REPORT
(i) Low Pressure Test : 200 – 300 psi should be applied for a low
pressure test and the period is at least 5 minutes.
(ii) High Pressure Test :
High pressure test for RAMS and auxiliary equipment
High pressure test to rated working pressure of RAMS BOP and
auxiliary equipment OR rated working pressure of your wellhead. Select
the lower number. For example, you BOP is rated for 5000 psi and your
wellhead is rated for 3000 psi. Your high pressure test for the RAMS
BOP and auxiliary equipment must be only 3000 psi.
Pressure duration at least 5 minutes.
High pressure test for Annular Preventer
High pressure test should apply to 70% of rated working pressure or
RAMS test pressure. Select the lower number. For example, you test
your ram at 3000 psi and the annular working pressure is 5000 psi. You
need to test your annular to 3000 psi (70% of annular RWP is 3500
psi).Pressure duration at least 5 minutes.
BOP PRESSURE TEST
PRESSURE TEST
•To check the integrity of all the joints in BOP stack, BOP

IMPORTANT POINTS
•Prior to conducting Pressure Test inform every single person
on Rig i.e. Pre-operation meeting
•Do not allow any person to go near cellar area or below
derrick floor
•Before conducting test, discuss with DIC
•Take care test plug properly sit on well head, preferably test
plug and well head make are same.
•Make sure McEvoy valve is opened before conducting test, as
casing will get pressurized if closed and leakage is there.
•Anchor 2” hole fill-up line properly before conducting test
•Conduct test in presence of at least one experience person
•If pressure test is conducted with test plug, take care of
Riser(as test plug might get stuck during pulling out). Conduct
test, if possible before R/up of Riser.
