Choke and kill manifolds are critical to maintaining the safety of oil and gas wells. They regulate the flow of fluids in the well to avoid catastrophic accidents. Here’s more on how choke and kill manifolds work and why they are so important when it comes to safety.
A choke and kill manifold operates as a sort of traffic light for well fluids. It slows down or stops flow of fluids as necessary to keep everything contained. This is critical to prevent any accidents and for the protection of both people and the environment. Without lines for a choke and kill manifold, a well could blow, “resulting in a major event that could injure personnel, or damage equipment,” it said.
Like cars require oil changes, choke and kill manifold requires regular checks. This makes sure that it is functioning properly and will be ready to rescue when an emergency arises. And if it is not taken care of, it may not function properly, potentially subjecting workers to harm. And that’s why at BeyondPetro, we always ensure that our choke and kill manifolds are in great condition.
To avoid disaster is important knowing how to operate a choke and kill manifold properly. That requires a delicate tuning of the valves and pressure levels to direct how fluids flow through the well. Good training,good practice is very important. At BeyondPetro, all of our employees are experienced using choke and kill manifolds without incident, because they learned to do it safely in order to avoid problems and keep our wells safe.
A choke and kill manifold is comprised of number of parts that are functioning together. These components are for instance choke valves, kill valves and pressure gauges. Choke valves regulate the flow of fluids, whereas kill valves are used to shut off the flow in an emergency. Pressure gauges allow workers to monitor the pressure in the well. All of them have a role in keeping the well safe and stable.
It’s a specialized job, working a choke and kill manifold, and one that requires training. BeyondPetro offers training for all our employees to ensure they know how to safely operate choke and kill manifolds. This involves understanding how to read gauges, control valve adjustments, and how to react in an emergency. By investing in training, we can help to prevent accidents, and help to keep our workers and our wells safe.
