65.3.2 Pressure Tests 16.5.3.2.1 All biowout prevention components that can be exposed to well pressure shal be tested first to 2 low pressure between 250 psi to 350 psi (1.72 MPa to 2.41 MPa) and then to a high pressure. 16.5.3.2.2 When performing the low-pressure test, do not apply a higher pressure and bleed down to the low test pressure. The higher pressure can initiate a seal that can continue to seal after the pressure is lowered, therefore misrepresenting a low-pressure condition 16.5.3.2.3 A stablized low and high test pressure shall be maintained for at least 5 minutes, with no visible leakage 6.5.3.2.4 Initial pressure tests are defined as those tests that shall be performed on location before the ‘equipment is put into operational service. 6.5.3.2.5 The initial high-pressure test on all components that can be exposed to well pressure (e.g. BOP ‘slack, manifolds, lines and valves, IBOP, Kelly valves and hoses, etc.) shall be tested in accordance with Table 2 16.5.3.2.6 There can be instances when the available BOP stack andlor the wellhead have higher working pressures than are required for the specific wellbore conditions due to equipment availablity. Special ‘conditions such as these shall be addressed in the site-specific well control pressure test program. 6.5.3.2.7 Subsequent high-pressure tests on the well control components shall be tested in accordance ‘with Table 3 6.5.3.2.8 With larger size annular BOPs some small movement could continue within the large rubber mass for prolonged periods after pressure is applied and may require longer holding periods. 6.5.3.2.9 Pressure shall be released only through pressure release lines and bleed valves. 6.5.3.2.10 Where possible, the retum volume should be measured to confirm all pressure has been bled off. Where this is not possible, extreme caution shall be taken to ensure pressute is bled off safely 6.5.3.2.11 Pressure test operations shall be altemately controlled from the various onsite control stations, ‘and panels. 6.5.3.2.42 All valves (except check valves) shall be low and high pressure tested inthe direction of flow. 6.5.3.2.43 Valves that are required to seal against flow from both directions, shall be tested from both directions 6.8.3.2.14 Check valves installed on the kill ine shall be low and high pressure tested from the wellbore side, 6.5.3.2.18 Drifting the BOP shall be performed upon completion of the initial BOP test on the wellhead assembly. This may be achieved using the test plug, wear bushing tools, or other large bore tools. ‘Subsequent drifting shall be determined by the equipment ovner's PM program or well specific operations,65.35 Test Fluids 6.5.3.5. Well control equipment shall be pressure tested with water or water with additives, 6.5.3.5.2 Air should be removed from the system before test pressure is applied 6.5.3.5.3 Control systems and hydraulic chambers shall be tested using clean control system fluids with lubricity and corrosion additives forthe intended service and operating temperatures. 6.5.3.6 Test Pressure Measurement Devices 6.5.3.6. Test pressure gauges and chart recorders or data acquisition systems shall be used and all testing results shall be recorded. 6.5.3.6.2 Analog pressure measurements shall be made at not less than 25 % and not more than 75 % of the fll pressure span of the gauge. 6.5.3.6.3 Electronic pressure gauges and chart recorder or data acquisition systems shall be used within the manufacturer's specified range 6.5.3.6.4 Test pressure measurement devices (including analog gauges) shall be calibrated annually in ‘accordance with OEM procedures 6.5.3.6. Calibrations shall be traceable to a recognized national standard (NIST and ANSI). 6.5.3.6.6 It's acceptable for gauges to be used during the course of normal operations to read full scale but shall not serve as a test gauge. 65.3.7 Test Documentation 65.3.7.1 The results of all BOP equipment pressure and function tests shall be documented (see worksheet in Annex A), 6.5.3.7.2 Pressure tests shall be performed with a pressure chart recorder or equivalent data acquisition system and signed by pump operator. contractor's representative, and operating company representative. 6.5.3.7.3 Problems with the BOP equipment that results in an unsuccessful pressure test and actions to remedy the problems shall be documented 6.5.3.7.4 The equipment owner shall inform the equipment manufacturer of any well control equipment that fails to perform in the field, in accordance with Annex B.Table 3—Pressure Test, Surface BOP Systems, Subsequent Tests 2500 950(1.72 102.41) Pressure Test High Pressure P= psi (MPa) ‘Minimum of MASP for the hole section or 70.% of annular RWP., whichaver is lover. ‘Blinabine enear {asing rams (proto running casing) CChoke and kil ines and valves 250 to 860 (1.7210 241) MASP of the hole section Choke manors Upstream of chokets) 25010 950(1 7210247) ‘Same as the ram preventer Downstream of chokes) 2500 350(1.72 102.41) WP of choke(s) out, valves), or nets), ‘whichever I lower ‘Adjustable chokes Fungtion test oi ‘Verification of backup contol system. {BOP contol aystem Manfole and BOP tines Funetion teat in accordance with “equipment overs PM program.
