The Application of BOP During Oil Well Drilling

Abstract:

This is an introduction to brief application of blowout preventers and accessory equipment. Fluid (either liquid or gas) erupts from the well, usually with great force, and often ignites into a roaring inferno, especially if the fluid is gas. The trouble arises when the pressure in the formation is higher than that in the well. The pressure in the well is maintained by the type and amount of drilling fluid being circulated through it. Blowout preventers(BOPs), in conjunction with other equipment and techniques, are used to close the well in and allow the crew to control a kick before it becomes a blowout.
