Rotary BOP
Rotary BOP is a well control device used for underbalanced drilling (underbalanced drilling), which provides safe and effective pressure control for drilling under pressure and snubbing and guides annulus fluid into the surface control system to achieve underbalanced drilling.
There are two types of rotary BOP: single rubber element and double rubber element.
The Role of Rotary BOPs in Underbalanced Drilling
The Rotary BOP, also known as a rotating blowout preventer or rotating control device, is a critical component in underbalanced drilling operations. It guides returned fluid away from the drill floor, shielding it and maintaining pressure, thus enabling underbalanced drilling while reducing costs and environmental impact. Developed for underbalanced drilling, it's now used in various drilling operations, including workover and natural gas drilling. Our company, in collaboration with Sinopec Zhongyuan Oilfield, has developed a series of rotary blowout preventers to meet diverse drilling needs. Rongsheng BOPs offer a cost-effective alternative to imported products, contributing to the advancement of China's oilfield industry. With robust construction and versatile design, our Rotary BOPs ensure efficient drilling operations, making them suitable for various drilling rigs and applications.
Introducing the Rongsheng Rotating Control Device (RCD)
The Rotating Control Device (RCD) by Rongsheng stands as a paramount component in well control operations, serving as a cornerstone in both onshore and offshore drilling environments. Specifically engineered for underbalanced drilling (UBD), managed pressure drilling (MPD), and other high-pressure drilling methods, our RCD ensures optimal safety and efficiency during critical drilling operations.
Installed atop an annular blowout preventer (BOP) or ram BOP, the Rongsheng Rotating Control Device is designed to seal around the rotating drill pipe, providing a secure barrier to divert drilling fluid away from the rig floor. This essential function enhances operational safety and minimizes the risk of blowouts or fluid-related incidents.
Operating on a principle driven by the top drive or Kelly from the driving bushing assembly, our RCD features a rotating sleeve center pipe and rubber seal element, ensuring a positive seal on the drill pipe or Kelly. With options for dual or single stripper rubber elements, our RCD system adapts to various drilling conditions and pressure requirements, offering versatility and reliability in challenging drilling environments.
Compliant with API 16RCD standards, the Rongsheng Rotating Control Device is meticulously engineered and manufactured to meet the highest industry standards. Widely adopted by leading global service companies and oil operators, including CNPC, Sinopec, CNNOc, and Shell, our RCD systems have earned a reputation for excellence in performance and reliability.
With a range of sizes and operating pressures available, the Rongsheng Rotating Control Device offers flexibility and adaptability to suit diverse drilling applications. Our compact design ensures easy integration under most drilling rigs without the need for extensive modifications, enabling faster rig-up times and enhanced maneuverability on-site.
Trust Rongsheng for innovative solutions in well control equipment, and experience the difference in performance, reliability, and safety with our Rotating Control Device systems.
