Vertical Compact Blowout Preventer (BOP) – Type AC

The vertical compact blowout preventer (BOP) type AC is designed for drilling operations, providing reliable sealing of the wellbore to prevent unexpected blowouts of oil, gas, or drilling fluids. This ensures the protection of personnel, equipment, and the environment. The BOP meets API 16A standards and is suitable for both standard and corrosive environments.

Features & specifications

Key Features:

  • Compact Design: Space-efficient design simplifies installation and maintenance, allowing easy replacement of the wear plate and repair on-site, minimizing downtime.
  • Elastomeric Ram Assembly: The sealing element is made of molded elastomer combined with metal inserts, ensuring a durable and reliable seal.
  • Hydraulic Operation: Equipped with a double-acting piston system for rapid and secure well closure. Hydraulic operation allows for quick sealing, and the pressure from the wellbore enhances the sealing force.
  • Interchangeable Wear Plate: The wear plate is easily replaceable, preventing metal-to-metal contact between the ram inserts and the cover, reducing wear and extending operational life.
  • API 6A Compliant Connections: The BOP features an API 6A standard flange connection at the bottom and an optional threaded or flanged connection at the top for ease of installation.

Sizes and Pressure Ratings:

  • 7 1/16″ – 3000 psi (210 bar)
  • Additional configurations available with pressure ratings up to 5000 psi.

Applications:

  • Drilling Operations: Ideal for controlling unexpected wellbore pressure surges, preventing blowouts during drilling operations.
  • Corrosive and Non-Corrosive Environments: Suitable for various environments, including those involving water-based fluids, drilling mud, crude oil, and non-corrosive gases.

Materials and Temperature Range:The BOP is available in configurations for standard and corrosive environments, with operational temperature ranges from -29°C to 121°C for metal components and -18°C to 82°C for non-metallic components
