BOP Parts

Blowout Preventer (BOP) equipment is made up of various critical parts that work together to control pressure during drilling operations and prevent blowouts. Each part plays a unique role in ensuring the safety of the wellbore by sealing, controlling, and monitoring the well. Below is an overview of the key BOP parts and their functions

Types Of BOP Parts

BOP Stack: The BOP stack is the vertical arrangement of several BOP components, including ram and annular preventers, that are mounted together on top of the wellhead. The stack can have multiple sections of rams and other equipment depending on the specific needs of the well.
Function: It is the complete blowout preventer assembly that provides well control, sealing off the well in an emergency or when required during drilling.
Hydraulic System Function: The hydraulic system powers the operation of the BOP components, including the rams and annular preventer. It uses pressurized hydraulic fluid to actuate the rams and other BOP functions.
Components: Includes pumps, valves, accumulators, and hydraulic lines that enable the BOP to function remotely and automatically when needed.
