Coiled
Tubing Quad BOP
Our coiled tubing
quad BOP has a four rams configuration to provide positive protection against
blowouts and to secure the well in emergencies. This permits work to be carried
out, under pressure, on surface equipment while the tubing is still in the
wellbore. The quad features separate blind seal rams and shear rams, as opposed
to a combination shear/seal ram design in the tri-modular BOP. The BOP is
placed directly above the wellhead.
The quad BOP is
similar in operation and features to the tri-modular BOP. Hydraulic closure
system for the rams have manual overrides available. These overrides operate
the rams in case of hydraulic failure and hold them mechanically locked once
they are in the closed position. Pressure equalization operation is also
identical.
Our quad BOPs are
available in nominal sizes from 2 9/16"" to 5 1/8", with working
pressure ratings from 5000 PSI to 15000 PSI. The BOPs are useable in both
standard and sour environments.
Standard ram
assembly configurations are:
1) Blind seal rams
- top set of rams that serve to seal-off well pressure when no tubing is
present
2) Shear rams - second set of rams that serve
to shear the tubing
3) Slip rams - third set of rams that serve to
hold the tubing in place while shearing or for other applications
4) Pipe seal rams - bottom set of rams that
serve to seal around the tubing, thus isolating the wellbore pressure below the
rams
