{BOP}

Blowout Preventer (BOP) systems are crucial pieces of equipment used during oil and gas drilling operations. However, like any other equipment, BOP systems need to be inspected and maintained regularly to ensure their proper functioning. During a BOP test, portions of the well-control equipment are subjected to pressure tests, which continue until the entire well-control system is tested. This sequence of pressure tests is conducted to ensure that the BOP system is functioning properly and to prevent any possible blowouts that can lead to severe environmental and safety consequences. In conclusion, BOP testing is essential to the safety and of the wellbore during oil and gas drilling operations. It is key to prevent potential blowouts and ensure the safety of the workers and the production.

 

General BOP Testing Procedures

• Use water to test BOP. The reason is that water has less compressibility than mud.

• Make up testing assembly and set in into a wellhead profile.

• Circulate through choke/kill lines, choke manifold, standpipe manifold, and valves to ensure that all lines are full with water.

• Line up cement unit and rig team shut rams and valves as per each rig specific testing sequence

• Pressure test must be low and high, respectively, and the pressure should be stabilized with minimum bleed off at least 5 minutes. Ensure that pressure recording on a chart is recorded correctly.

• Ensure that any equipment doest not pass a pressure test requirement must be reported to supervisors.

• Continue pressure testing until all equipment is tested as per each rig specific.

• Rig down testing assembly.

 

BOP Testing Period

There are 3 categories that you should consider for full BOP test.

  1. Prior to supping the well or the first time that BOP is installed on the well.
  2. After repairing or disconnecting of any pressure sealing elements of BOP.
  3.  As per MMS, you can use BOP for 21 days (3 weeks) before you need to test it again. Or you must follow the local regulations.
