This quad BOP has a four ram 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 Enviro-Safe Dismantling System allows for quick and easy ram access, without any hydraulic fluid loss. By removing the actuator capscrews the actuators can be functioned back and away from BOP body. Once the actuators are retracted the rams can be removed for inspection or servicing.
An additional attribute is the "internal plumbing" feature. Single point open and close ports permit operation of both hydraulic actuators for each set of rams. The requirement of harness hoses becomes redundant, thereby effectively reducing the number of hoses and connections.
The BOP is useable in both standard and sour environments.
