1. APPLICATION

Annular Bop must be used with hydraulic control system．It is usually with ram

type BOP ， but it can also be used independently. It can be used for following

operations：

 It can seal on almost any shape of size-Kelly，drill pipe, tool joints, drill collars,

casing or wireline．

 When there is no drilling tool in hole, it can completely shut off the hole．

 With an accumulator ， forced tripping with 8 ° ／ 35 ° welded tool joints is

allowed.

3. WORKING PRINCIPLE

Closing action begins when hydraulic fluid is pumped into the closing chamber
of the BOP below the piston. As the piston rise, it pushes the element up, and the
element’s spherical shape causes it to close in at the piston rise, it pushes the element
up, and the element’s spherical shape causes it to close it to close in at the top as it
moves upward. As the piston continues to rise, the element seals around the drill
string or shuts off the well bore. Steel segments in the element move into the well
bore to support the rubber as it contains the well pressure below. Opening action
begins when hydraulic fluid is pumped into the opening chamber of the BOP above
the piston. As the piston comes down, the element returns to its original position by
its elasticity.

4. STRUCTURE FEATURE

4.1. Simple and dependable

13 5/8”-5000psi annular BOP consists of just five major parts—the case (lower
housing), upper housing, piston, adapter ring and the sealing element. This simple
design provides a rugged, reliable preventer and easy of service in the field.

4.2. Wear ring structure

There are wear rings at the dynamic seal surface between the piston and the
lower housing & the lower housing and support ring. Wear rings eliminate
metal-to-metal contact between the piston and the lower housing.

4.3. Lip type seal ring structure

All dynamic seals are lip type, especially made to seal against moving parts with
minimum wear and no leakage.

Figure 1 Lip type seal ring structure of 11”-5000psi Annular BOP

4.4. Yx-ring structure

The dynamic seal for sealing water pressure adopts Yx-ring. The seal is reliable without
leakage.

Figure 2 Yx-ring structure

6
 13 5/8”-3000psi Annular BOP

4.5. Piston

The section of the piston is “Z”form with the features of short stroke, small
height and large size in radial direction.

4.6. Suitable for H2S service

Preventers suitable for H2S service can be provided according to NACE

MR-01-75 regulation requirements.

4.7. Spherical rubbers

4.7.1 This kind of rubber is just like a half ball. It is made of radial supporting
ribs (steel segment) and rubber. The rib is made of alloy－steel. When the rubber is
opened, the ribs will be away from the hole to return to original position. Even if the
rubber worn seriously, it will not block the hole.
4.7.2 Turn over of the rubber is limited. When a hole is closed, the pressure of
the hole forces the rubber turn over, but the steel segment can resist the turn over,
causing the rubber being at safe status. So it can stand high pressure without damage.
4.7.3 Funnel effect. During tripping out, well pressure and pipe movement are in
the same direction. Rubber compresses firmly against the steel segment at the top of
the element, but rubber at the bottom is slightly compressed. This creates a“funnel
effect”that makes it easy for a tool joint to enter the sealing element. When tripping
in, well pressure and pipe movement oppose each other. Well pressure compresses
the rubber portion of the element against the steel segments as the tool joint moves
down into the element. This prolongs the life of the rubber.

4.7.4 Well pressure assists the closing of the sealing element. This makes the

element’s sealing more tight and reliable.

4.7.5 The steel segments molded into the rubber make metal-to-metal sliding

contact with the sphere of the housing. This provides lower coefficient of friction

than rubber-to-metal contact would. So the closing pressure is reduced.

4.7.6 When there is drilling tools in the well, take out of the old sealing element

from the BOP by cutting it. Cut the new sealing element between two steel cores.

7
 13 5/8”-3000psi Annular BOP

Pull the sealing element out and cover on the tools in the hole, and then change it.

Figure 3 Cutting packing element

▲ ! Attention: When there is need to change the packing element, the drilling tools are in

the well. First, it must be sure that the drilling tools has been reliable seal by ram BOP or

there is no pressure in the well or there is no pressure trend, and then change the packing

element by cutting it.

6. Operation and maintenance

Before installation of BOP, you must read the manual before this section. The former sections
introduce structure, function and operation method of each part & attentions in details. Then,
install and use the BOP according to the following procedure.

6.1. Installation on the wellhead

6.1.1 Following systems are required at well site to use the annular BOP.

1. Hydraulic control system.

2. A control line to the opening (upper) port and a control line to the

closing (lower) port.

3. For stripping, an accumulator bottle is required. This bottle should be

pre-charged with nitrogen to a special pressure.

4. A hydraulic regulator to allow adjustment of operating pressure to meet any

given situation.

6.1.2 Inspection must be done before installation of annular BOP

1. Inspect if the gasket grooves of well head flange and BOP flange is good.

Inspect the surface of the flange. There should be no protruding point.

2. If the pressure testing is qualified.

11
 13 5/8”-3000psi Annular BOP

6.1.3 Installation of annular BOP

1. The connecting bolts of each flange should be diagonal tightened uniformly.

2. The tighten toque of flange bolts see “Attachment list 1”.

6.1.4 After annular BOP installed on well head, inspect the following before

operation, to ensure its proper operation.

1. Inspect oil pipes to see if they are in compliance with BOP switch direction,

provide 10.5MPa control pressure to test each ram twice (open and close), draining

air from the pipes. If annular BOP switch movement is not the same direction as the

mark on the hand rod of control platform, reverse the connection pipes.

2. Wellhead equipments shall be pressure tested fully. Standards of test shall be

according to related well control specifications. After tests, every connection bolt is

fixed once again avoiding unbalanced distribution. See the tightening torque of

flange bolt from attachment list 1.

6.2. Operation

BOP operation must be charged by specialist and professional person. Operators

shall be familiar with BOP working principle, specifications and process, and can

also operate, repair, maintain and clear troubles.

After reaching objective interval, the annular BOP should be opened and closed

one time every day to see if they are flexible lock in normal condition.

6.2.1 Stripping operation

Stripping operations are undoubtedly the most severe application for any

preventer because of the wear of the sealing element or exposed to as the drill string

is moved through the preventer under pressure. To prolong sealing element life, it is

important to use proper operating procedures when stripping. The recommended

procedures are:

12
 13 5/8”-3000psi Annular BOP

(1) Close the preventer with 10.5~14MPa closing pressure.

(2) Just prior to commencing stripping operations reduce closing pressure to a

value sufficient to allow to a slight leak. The slight leak can provide

lubrication and prevent excessive temperature build up in the element. As

the element wears, pressure will need to be incrementally increased to

prevent excessive leakage. Note: string with 18°tool joints should be used,

and the tripping rate could not exceed 0.2m/s.

(3) If conditions will not allow leakage during stripping operations, the closing

pressure should be adjusted to a value just sufficient to maintain a seal.

(4) As required closing pressures approach 1,500psi, excessive leakage still

exists, it is said that the rubber has been worn seriously. It must be treated to

complete stripping operations.

6.3. Attention

1. After installation at well site, the BOP should be pressure tested according
to rated standards.

2. After reaching the target zone, the BOP should be checked by closing and

opening it every two stripping. If there is any problem, it must be treated.

3. When a blowout happens with drill string in the well, the annular BOP can be used
to control the well pressure, but it can’t be used for a long time. First it can reduce
the service life of the rubber, second this kind of BOP has no locking system.
Normally, don’t use the BOP to shut off a well without any thing in it.

▲ ! Attention: The max well pressure should be half of the rated working

pressure.

4. When the BOP is in close position, it is allowed to move the drill tool up

and down, but not turn it.

5. Do not release well pressure by opening annular BOP to avoid rubber

13
 13 5/8”-3000psi Annular BOP

damage.

6. Every time the BOP is opened, it must be checked if the BOP is opened

completely to avoid rubber damage.

7. Hydraulic oil must be used to open and close the BOP and keep clean.
8. After usage or test or before maintenance, the water and dirty in the body
of BOP should be clean out.

7. Maintenance

BOP shall be cleared completely after every testing at site. Replace damaged

parts in time, anoint so as to prevent rust after cleaned each seal surface, (suggest to

oil them by synthetic complex aluminium grease), and oil connecting thread part by

thread grease. The oil should not melt under 50℃.

7.1. Disassembly procedure

Packing element & each seal parts and seal surface are the key parts in a BOP. If
damaged, BOP is useless in sealing well. So it is very important to keep it well, and
replace it in time if there is damage in sealing parts or surface.
Replacement procedures are as following:

7.1.1. Change of sealing element

(1) Remove the stud nuts that retain the upper housing. (Item 3)

(2) Lift the upper housing.

(3) Screw the eyebolts into the sealing element and lift it out. If there is drill

tool in it, the new element should be first cut open with rubber cutter. The

cut surface should be smooth. The old sealing element should be cut open

too, and lift it out and exchange it with the new one. (See figure 3)

14
 13 5/8”-3000psi Annular BOP

7.1.2. Disassembly of adapter ring and piston

(1) Remove the pipe plugs from the inlet and outlet of hydraulic oil.

Remove the upper housing and sealing element. Then screw the eyebolts

into the adapter ring and lift it out.

(2) Screw the eyebolts into the piston and lift it out.

7.1.3 Disassembly of dust-proof ring

Remove the packing element. Then screw the eyebolts into the dust-proof ring

and lift it out.

7.1.4 Disassembly of piston

Remove the dust-proof ring. Then screw the eyebolts into the piston and lift it
out.

7.2. Reassembly procedure

1 ． Check the adapter ring, piston and wear ring on the body (lower

housing)(item 10,12,14). If there is damage or serious wear, they should be repaired.

2 ． Check the seal rings of the adapter ring, piston and casing. If there are any

damages or maturing, they should be changed.

3．Oil the inner surface of the casing, piston and adapter ring.

4．Install the piston in the lower housing.

5．Install the adapter ring in the lower housing.

6．Grease the inner surface of the upper housing and the supporting surface of

the piston. Coat the connection bolts with thread oil.

7．Install the sealing element on top of the piston.

8．Install the upper housing.

9．Screw the stud nuts that retain the upper housing.

10．Screw in the pipe plugs of the inlet and outlet.

15
 13 5/8”-3000psi Annular BOP

8. PROPER STOPAGE OF RUBBER PARTS

All rubber parts must be stored as following:

1. Keep storage area as cool as possible with temperature of 0~25 ℃ . Never

store rubber parts near heaters or sunshine.

2. Prevent rubbers from corrosion.

3. Store these items away from high-voltage equipments. High-voltage

equipment frequently produces ozone that attacks rubber.

4. Store rubber parts in a relaxed position. For example, do not bend a rubber

part and force it into a small box. This accelerates aging in the stressed (bent) area.

5. Keep the storage area as dry as possible and wipe off any oil, grease or liquids

that accidentally spill on the rubber.

6. Normal storage period is 2 years.

9. TROUBLES AND SETTLEMETS

9.1. The rubber can not seal on the drill string.

(1) If the seal element can not be closed to position, it can be opened and

closed several times. But if it still can’t be closed to position, the rubber

should be changed.

(2) If the rubber is over worn or damaged, it should be changed in time.

(3) If a BOP has opened for a long time, some foreign matter may be settled

on the rubber. In this situation, the rubber should be cleaned and moved.

16
 13 5/8”-3000psi Annular BOP

9.2. The BOP can not opened after closed.

This is because the BOP has closed for a long time, the rubber has deformed

permanently, or there would be some cement under the rubber. In this situation, the

rubber must be cleaned or changed.

9.3. The BOP can not be opened and closed flexibly.

(1) All the pipes should be blew with pressure air before connected. All

connectors should be cleaned.

(2) There is leakage in the oil pipes. The BOP has not operated for a long

time, or it is plugged by some foreign matter. So the BOP must be

operated according to the operation procedure.
