The Indispensable Role of Ram BOPs in Oil Well Operations

 

A Ram BOP functions like a gate valve at the top of a BOP stack on an oil well, regulating the flow of oil and sealing off the well when necessary. The seal is achieved through a pair of steel plungers that pull inward to restrict flow and press outward to allow the oil to flow freely. This addition to an oil well’s BOP lineup ensures that the flow is regulated in precise detail.

 

  1. Durable Rubber Sealing

Part of an effective BOP is a reliable seal, and the manufacturers of Ram BOPs understand this. Each BOP comes equipped with carefully designed rubber seals that can withstand high ranges of temperatures and immense pressure. With a quality Ram BOP, even a massive oil well will stay sealed as long as you want.

Pro Tip: Part of the BOP is also designed to relieve some pressure on the rubber, extending its expected service life.

 

  1. Locked Securely into Place

Even a slight improper movement from a BOP could result in a dangerous blowout. To combat this, Ram BOPs are rigorously tested to ensure they fit as tightly as possible on top of your BOP stack, keeping the immense pressure underneath in check. This is also why finding the absolute correct size is so important to your overall workplace safety. During your periodic safety inspections, make sure to check the fit of your Ram BOP and its rubber sealant to ensure everything is still secure.

 

  1. The Perfect Topper for Your BOP Stack

The primary advantage of a Ram BOP is its ability to hold back the high-pressure flow of oil or natural gas from a well. Its strong, durable design ensures that your oil well will remain completely sealed and keep your entire work environment safe from a blowout disaster.

 

  1. Ensures Safety

The primary role of a ram BOP is to prevent dangerous blowouts from an oil well. Its sturdy and long-lasting design ensures that your oil well remains entirely wrapped and keeps your entire working location safe from a blowout.

Always test your ram blowout preventers to confirm they tightly fit on top of your BOP stack to keep the beneath pressure in check. Also, finding the outright correct size is so imperative to your overall drilling workplace safety. Finally, perform a periodic safety assessment to check the fit of your BOP and its rubber sealant to make sure the lot is still secure.

 

  1. Increases Performance

Ram BOPs offer superior performance in surface and subsea applications. Also, most ram BOPs systems that pass a hydraulic pressure test range from 500 degrees F to 30 degrees F can work for eight hours using blind shear rams. Ram BOPs also offer a convenient tie-off method to increase personal safety while increasing performance.
