subsea blowout preventer

More specifically, the present invention relates to a blowout prevention (BOP) used in the operation of an offshore oil drilling platform. These are placed on drilling rigs, used as large platforms to drill deep into the ocean floor to extract oil. Blowout preventers are the equipment that serves to halt oil spills resulting from a blowout. A blow out is when the oil and gas flow too quickly and suddenly from the well, often uncontrollably so. This occurs when the pressure inside the hole becomes to high, which can be very harmful for the ecosystem.

If a blowout does occur, this subsea BOP can shut the well in almost immediately by pinching the drillpipe and shearing it. This prevents the oil and gas from rising to the ocean surface, where it might cause trouble. A subsea BOP is qualified to operate at a higher pressure, thus making it quite an excellent safety invention for the drilling operations. As with most equipment used on a marine oil platform, safety measures are in place to protect not only the employees who work on the rig, but also the alluring ocean and all of its dwellers.

How Subsea Blowout Preventers Work in Preventing Catastrophic Oil Spills

The oil rig consists of two robust elements referred to as rams. Rams could close the well in several ways. The rams are also available to cut the drill pipe ( Fig. 2). They then use the pressure to seal up the wellhead, block off the flow of oil and gas. If that doesn't work, the second set of rams are capable of clamping down so hard that they can completely shut off circulation up the well. Using multiple layers like this makes it so that if one way of stopping a spill is unsuccessful, there is always another method to keep an oil spill at bay.

Subsea BOPs are regularly tested and must work correctly. It includes tests where they simulate a blowout to see how it performs in that situation. If there is, or the BOP does not perform as it should, repairing or replacing the unit before being put into a real drilling situation.
