class="wpb_wrapper"> <p>A blowout preventer is a large, specially designed valve that is mounted on top of the well during the drilling and completion stages of operation. The operator can close this valve to stop the flow of oil or gas in case of emergency.</p> <h3>BOP – Video Transcript</h3> <p>The blowout preventer, or BOP, is safety equipment designed to prevent uncontrolled flow of formation fluids during drilling and completion operations. During drilling, mud is pumped down the drill string to lubricate and cool the bit, and provide equalizing pressure in the well. If the well’s hydro-static pressure falls below the formation’s pressure, a kick can occur, allowing gas, oil, and saltwater fluids to enter the well bore.</p> <p>During a kick, these pressurized, combustible, hydrocarbons can be pushed up the well bore to the surface, where they may potentially blow out the well and ignite. The BOP has the capability to control this flow by sealing off the well bore in several ways.</p> <section class="sc_fs_faq sc_card"> <div> <h2>Blowout Preventer Definition</h2> <div> <figure> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194449/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/blowout-preventer.jpg" title="Blowout Preventer"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194449im_/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/blowout-preventer.jpg" alt="Blowout Preventer"/> </a> <meta content="https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/blowout-preventer.jpg"> <meta content="500"> <meta content="442"> </figure> <p> A blowout preventer (BOP) is a specially designed valve used to monitor, control, and if necessary, seal a well to prevent blowouts of crude oil and natural gas wells. </p> </div> </div> </section> <script type="application/ld+json"> { "@context": "https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194449/https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "Blowout Preventer Definition", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": " A blowout preventer (BOP) is a specially designed valve used to monitor, control, and if necessary, seal a well to prevent blowouts of crude oil and natural gas wells.

They are the annular preventer, blind ram, blind shear ram, and the pipe ram. There can be many different configurations, sizes, and pressure ratings, dependent on well design, formation pressures, and areas of use. The BOP is attached to the steel casing that is cemented around the well bore. The drill string is suspended through the center of the well bore. This is the rotating pipe to which the drill bit is attached.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194449/https://www.txoilinvestments.com/"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-9280 aligncenter" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194449im_/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/gulf-coast-oil-investment-opportunities.gif" alt="Gulf Coast Oil Investment Opportunities" width="728" height="40"></a></p> <p>The first BOP component is the pipe ram. During a kick, this ram is activated and creates a seal between the well bore and the outside of the drill string. The next component is the blind shear ram. If a kick occurs, it may become necessary to sacrifice the drill string to stop the flow of material inside of the well bore. The blind shear ram performs this function by cutting, or shearing the drill string, and sealing the well bore. The blind ram is used to seal the well bore when there is no drill string in the well. The annular preventer is a device that can seal around any object in the well bore, or upon itself. It is designed to create a seal, with or without the drill string present.</p> <p>These multiple components provide redundancy and are controlled by a device called the accumulator. This unit can be operated remotely, using a panel located on the rig floor, or by personnel on the ground, using duplicate controls on the accumulator itself.</p> </div> </div> </div></div></div><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-3"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"><div class="vc_wp_custommenu wpb_content_element sidebar2"><div class="widget widget_nav_menu"><div class="menu-photos-videos-container"><ul id="menu-photos-videos" class="menu"><li id="menu-item-8617" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page current-page-ancestor current-page-parent menu-item-8617"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194449/https://www.arescotx.com/photos-videos/">Aresco Oil Well Photos & Videos</a></li> <li id="menu-item-8618" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-8618"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194449/https://www.arescotx.com/photos-videos/life-cycle-of-an-oil-well/">Life Cycle of an Oil Well</a></li> <li id="menu-item-8619" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-8619"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194449/https://www.arescotx.com/photos-videos/3d-rig-tour/">Oil Rig 3D Virtual Tour</a></li> <li id="menu-item-8620" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page current-menu-item page_item page-item-7211 current_page_item menu-item-8620"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194449/https://www.arescotx.com/photos-videos/what-is-a-blowout-preventer/" aria-current="page">What is a blowout preventer?</a></li> <li id="menu-item-8621" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-8621"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194449/https://www.arescotx.com/photos-videos/multi-formation-vertical-well-drilling-animation/">Multi Formation Vertical Well Drilling Animation</a></li> <li id="menu-item-8622" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-8622"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194449/https://www.arescotx.com/photos-videos/well-log-animation/">Well Logging Animation</a></li> <li id="menu-item-8623" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-8623"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194449/https://www.arescotx.com/photos-videos/salt-water-disposal-animation/">Saltwater Disposal Wells Video Animation</a></li> <li id="menu-item-8624" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-8624"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194449/https://www.arescotx.com/photos-videos/drilling-haskell-east-1-haskell-county-tx/">Drilling the Haskell East # 1 well in Haskell County, Texas</a></li> <li id="menu-item-8625" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-8625"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194449/https://www.arescotx.com/photos-videos/dexter-trinidad-drilling-rig-houston-county/">Dexter Trinidad Drilling Rig Houston County</a></li> <li id="menu-item-8626" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-8626"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205194449/https://www.arescotx.com/photos-videos/drilling-the-noodle-canyon-1-in-jones-county-texas/">Drilling the Noodle Canyon #1 in Jones County, Texas</a></li> </ul></div></div></div></div></div></div></div> <span class="cp-load-after-post"></span> </div> </div> </div> <div id="footer"> <div class="container"> <div class="row" id="newdisclaimer"> <div class="col-md-12"> <p>This is not an offer to sell nor solicitation of an offer to buy any security.
