Annular Blowout Preventers

Hydril GX
10,000 psi Annular Blowout Preventer

Hydril's complete line of annular blowout preventers

is based on more than 55 years of application
experience in all BOP types, sizes, and pressure ranges.
There is a Hydril Annular BOP to meet most operational
requirements in the petroleum industry today, both on the
surface and subsea.
Hydril designs are durable for dependable and efficient
operation. A standard annular BOP will strip drill pipe and
tool joints. The packing unit life is reduced when used for
stripping operations. It will also close off the annulus or open
hole to full working pressure.
The Hydril Annular BOP provides quick, positive closing
action with simplified controls to keep drilling fluids in the
hole when a blowout threatens. The universal seal off
feature of the annular blowout preventer permits closure and
seal off on drill pipe, kelly, tool joints, or tubing and wireline
as well as the open hole. Maintenance of the BOP is easy,
rapid, and economical with the use of standard tools.
The Low Alloy Steel Pressure Vessel represents Hydril's
50 years of experience in producing BOPs to provide
optimum strength and stress distribution control.
Full-spectrum testing meeting or exceeding API requirements ensures that the desired safety factors and reliability
are provided in each unit.

Finite Element Analysis of the body design is the

most advanced, in-depth technique of pressure vessel
design analysis and ensures a structurally sound body
configuration.
Shell (Hydrostatic) Testing of the BOP body meets the
API accepted industry standards to provide a safe, reliable
blowout preventer.
API 16A is the latest API specification covering drill
through equipment. Hydril is licensed to manufacture
Blowout Preventers to these exacting standards. In addition,
Hydril preventers may also be certified by such certifying
authorities as Det Norske Veritas (DNV), American Bureau
or Shipping (ABS), or Lloyds of London.
Operating Chambers are Pressure Tested to rated
working pressure of the BOP or 3000 psi, whichever is
greater. This ensures strength, reliability, safety, and
the ability to over-pressure the chambers in well-control
situations.
Stainless Steel and Inconel-lined Ring Grooves are
available as options.

The GX . . . the field proven flagship preventer

of Hydril's fleet
The GX offers extra performance and serviceability while
retaining the field proven features of Hydril annular BOPs.
The GX delivers extended operating service with few
packing unit changes, with a design that is simple and easy
to maintain in both surface and subsea operations.
The GX will close on virtually any drill stem member or
seal off the open bore. Operating volumes are lower,
resulting in faster closing times and smaller accumulator
requirements. Packing Unit fatigue and stripping life have
been increased beyond previous industry levels for equivalent sized Annular BOPs.
The GX allows full control of packoff tightness during
stripping operations, regardless of wellbore pressures.
The structural design, quality and testing of the GX
continues Hydril's state-of-the-art advances.
Here are the field proven Hydril features the GX provides:
Simple design only 2 moving parts, thus fewer areas
are subjected to wear meaning less maintenance and
downtime.
Proven operating principle provides full packing unit
seal off at maximum working pressure on open hole,
casing, drill pipe, tool joints, kelly or tubing.
Long piston design for optimum stability and reliable

operation.
Latched Head for fast and easy access to packing unit
and seals.
Opening Chamber Head to prevent inadvertent
contamination of the hydraulic system during packing unit
replacement.
Four large pressure energized lip seals are used for
dynamically sealing piston chambers.
Replaceable Wear Plate eliminates metal to metal
contact between the packing unit inserts and the BOP
head,making field repair fast and economical.
State-of-the-art structural design, quality and testing
for optimum reliability.
Stainless Steel Lined Connection Ring Grooves for
corrosion resistance.
Meets NACE MR-01-75 Material Standards for resistance
to sulfide stress cracking.
Fabricated from quench and tempered low alloy steel
suitable for service in both low and high
temperature applications.

Stripping
The design of the GX effectively controls
positioning of the inserts. When
stripping, the inserts remain fixed as the
rubber flows in and out, allowing
the alternating diameters of pipe and
tool joints to pass through the closed
packing unit.
This results in a dramatic increase of the GX
packing unit stripping life to approximately
twice that of similar sized annular BOPs.

Extra Packing Unit Life

Balanced Piston
Piston stability is assured by Hydril's time proven long
piston design with contact points providing a length-todiameter ratio approaching 1. This design eliminates
any tendency to cock and bind during operations with
off-center pipe or unevenly distributed accumulations
of sand or cuttings.
The GX piston is completely balanced. The opening
and closing chamber areas are of equal size. This
equalizes the hydrostatic forces exerted on the piston
by the control fluid column in subsea operations. The
result is a BOP that utilizes a constant closing
pressure regardless of water depth or mud weight.
This piston design is such that the closing pressure
requirements are virtually independent of well bore
pressures.
Contoured angular tapers on the piston bowl
compress and displace the reservoir of feedable
rubber in the back of the packing unit. This design
assures optimum rubber feeding and closing
efficiency. Movement of the piston to the open position
allows the packing unit to relax to full open bore.

The heart of any annular BOP is its packing unit and

the GX is no exception. Its packing unit has a greatly
increased reservoir of high-quality feedable rubber.
Because the reservoir of feedable rubber is larger, the
GX permits continuous rubber feeding as the bore
surface wears.
The packing units reinforcing flanged steel inserts
are driven by the rubber during closure and quickly
reach a fixed position where they form a steel ring to
support the rubber from upward motion under wellbore
pressure.
Once the inserts reach their fixed position, rubber
continues to flow inward, effecting a positive seal off
on the drill string or the open bore.
The rubber is primarily in compression and is therefore resistant to tears, cuts and abrasions. The steel
inserts stabilize the rubber and control the flow pattern
to minimize rubber stress.
Packing unit life due to routine testing at full working
pressure has been increased beyond previous levels.
Because Hydril Company LP manufactures all its own
packing units, rigid quality control is assured and field
performance enhanced.

More Precise Control

Tool joints can be stripped through the closed packing
unit while a full seal is maintained on the pipe.
The GX packing unit design permits precise control
of packoff tightness, regardless of wellbore pressures.
This allows a slight drilling fluid leakage to be
achieved during stripping operations to provide
lubrication, optimize pull through forces and prolong
packing unit life.
The result is the ability to strip long strings of pipe
and tool joints in or out of the hole at higher wellbore
pressures.

The GK Annular Blowout Preventer was designed especially

for surface installations and is also used on offshore
platforms and subsea. The GK is a universal annular
blowout preventer with a long record of proven, quality
performance.
Only Two Moving Parts (piston and packing unit) on the
Hydril Annular BOP mean few areas are subjected to
wear. The BOP is safer and more efficient, requiring less
maintenance and less downtime.
A Long Piston with a length to diameter ratio approaching
one eliminates tendencies to cock and bind during
operations with off-center pipe or unevenly distributed
accumulations of sand, cuttings, or other elements. This
design enhances the ability of the packing unit to reopen to
full bore position.
The Conical Bowl Design of the Piston provides a simple
and efficient method of closing the packing unit. With the
piston serving as a sealing surface against the rubber
packing unit, there is no metal-to-metal wear on the sealing
surface and thus longer life results.
A Field Replaceable Wear Plate in the BOP Head serves
as an upper non-sealing wear surface for the movement of
the packing unit, making field repair fast and economical.
Maximum Packing Unit Life is possible with the provision

10

for measuring piston stroke. This measurement indicates

remaining packing unit life without disassembly and ensures
the longest and safest use of the packing unit.
Two Choices of Packing Unit Rubber Compounds
permit more flexible applications.
The Screwed Head Design of the GK BOP is a simple,
efficient, and strong method of connecting the head to the
body for safe operation with no loose parts to be lost down
the hole or overboard.
The Latched Head Design is available on the GK, 13-5/8"5000 and larger BOPs. It provides fast access to packing
units and seals for minimum downtime with no loose parts to
be lost down hole or overboard.
Large Pressure Energized Seals are used for
dynamically sealing piston chambers to provide safe
operation, long seal life, and less maintenance.
Piston Sealing Surfaces Protected by Operating Fluid
lowers friction and protects against galling and wear to
increase seal life and reduce maintenance time.
The Operating Chambers are Tested to Full BOP
Working Pressure to ensure strength, reliability, and the
ability to over-pressurize the chambers in emergencies.
Meets NACE MR-01-75 Material Standards for resistance
to sulfide stress cracking.

OPERATION OF THE GK BLOWOUT

PREVENTER

The GK BOP has been developed especially for use on

surface installations but it is also used subsea. Standard
operation requires both opening and closing pressure. Seal
off is effected by hydraulic pressure applied to the closing
chamber which raises the piston, forcing the packing unit
into a sealing engagement. Any normal closing unit having
a separate pressure regulator valve for the annular BOP
and sufficient accumulator volume can be used to operate
the GK.
The GK is designed to be well pressure assisted in
maintaining packing unit seal off once initial seal off has
been effected. As well pressure further increases, closure
is maintained by well pressure alone. Exceptions are the GK
7-1/16"-15,000 and 20,000 psi which are not well pressure
assisted and closing pressure must be maintained on the
BOP to assure seal off. (Refer to the operators manual for
closing pressure curves.)

Stripping Operations
During well control operations, drill pipe can be rotated and
tool joints stripped through a closed packing unit, while
maintaining a full seal on the pipe. Longest packing unit life
is obtained by adjusting the closing chamber pressure just
low enough to maintain a seal on the drill pipe with a slight
amount of drilling fluid leakage as the tool joint passes
through the packing unit. This leakage indicates the lowest
usable closing pressure for minimum packing unit wear and
provides lubrication for the drill pipe motion through the
packing unit.The packing unit life is reduced when used for
stripping operations.
The pressure regulator valve should be set to maintain the
proper closing chamber pressure. If the pressure regulator

valve cannot respond fast enough for effective control, an

accumulator (surge absorber) should be installed in the
closing chamber control line adjacent to the BOP
precharge the accumulator to 50% of the closing pressure
required. In subsea operations it is sometimes advisable to
add an accumulator to the opening chamber line to prevent
undesirable pressure variations with certain control system
circuits.

The pressures above are a guideline. Maximum packing unit life will be realized by the
use of the lowest closing pressure that will maintain a seal. For subsea applications, see
the appropriate Operator's Manual for computation of best closing pressure.

Hydril's new Compact GK Annular BOPs are lighter and

shorter than previous models. They are designed for use on
surface installations, both drilling and workover applications.
The new compact models incorporate the following features
that have given the GK a long record of proven and quality
performance.
Only Two Moving Parts (piston and packing unit) mean
few areas are subject to wear. The GK is safer and more
efficient, requiring less maintenance and less downtime.
The Long Piston has a length to diameter ratio approaching one. This eliminates tendencies to cock and bind during
operations with off-center pipe or accumulations of sand,
cuttings, or other elements that are unevenly distributed.
Conical Bowl Design of the Piston provides a simple and
efficient method of closing the packing unit. With the piston
serving as a sealing surface against the rubber packing unit,
no metal-to-metal wear occurs on the sealing surface, resulting in longer life.
Field Replaceable Wear Plate in the BOP Head serves as
an upper non-sealing wear surface for the movement of the
packing unit, making field repair fast and economical.

Maximum Packing Unit Life is possible with the provision

for measuring piston stroke. This measurement indicates
remaining packing unit life without disassembly and ensures
the longest and safest use of the packing unit.
Two Choices of Packing Unit Rubber Compounds permit more flexible applications.
Screwed Head Design is a simple, efficient, and strong
method of connecting the head to the body for safe operation, preventing loose parts from falling down the hole or
overboard.
Large Pressure Energized Lip Seals dynamically seal the
piston chambers, allow safe operation, provide long seal life,
and require less maintenance.
Piston Sealing Surfaces Protected by Operating Fluid
lowers friction and protects against galling and wear to
increase seal life and to reduce maintenance time.
Operating Chambers are Tested to Full BOP Working
Pressure to ensure strength, reliability, and the ability to
overpressure the chambers in emergencies.
Stainless Steel Connection Ring Grooves are optional.
NACE MR-01-75 Material Standards for resistance to sulfide stress cracking are standard.

Hydril MSP-2000 psi

Hydril MSP 29-1/2-500 psi

The MSP Annular Blowout Preventer is applicable to subsea

or surface installations requiring a 2000 psi universal
blowout preventer. As proven by its many field installations,
it will deliver long, dependable service life. This BOP will
seal off drill pipe, kelly, tool joints or tubing and wireline or
completely shut off the open hole to full rated pressure.
The following outstanding features of the MSP BOP make
it qualified to meet the industry's need for simple and reliable
blowout protection. A helicopter lift model of the MSP
21-1/42000 is also available.
The Screwed Head Design of the MSP BOP is a simple,
efficient, and strong method of connecting the head to the
body for safe operation with no loose parts to be lost down
the hole or overboard.
The Latched Head Design which is optional on the MSP
21-1/42000 BOP provides fast, positive access to the
packing unit and seals for minimum maintenance time.
Only Two Moving Parts (piston and packing unit) on the
Hydril Annular BOP mean few areas are subjected to wear.
The BOP is thus a safer and more efficient mechanism
requiring less maintenance and less downtime.
Back to Front Feedable Rubber on the Packing Unit
enables the packing unit to close and seal on almost any
shape in the drillstring or close off the open bore and to strip
tool joints under pressure. This safety feature permits confident closure of the BOP at the initial indication of a kick without the delay of locating the tool joint.
The Conical Bowl Design of the Piston provides a simple
and efficient method of closing the packing unit. With the
piston serving as a sealing surface against the rubber
packing unit, there is no metal-to-metal wear on the sealing
surface and thus longer equipment life results.
A Field Replaceable Wear Plate in the BOP Head serves
as an upper non-sealing wear surface for the movement of
the packing unit, making field repair fast and economical.

The MSP 29-1/2"-500 psi, developed for use on surface

installations, is a large bore annular type diverter whose
29-1/2" bore permits hole to be drilled full bore with diverter
protection. Its large bore permits the setting of large size
surface casing without removing the diverter. Thus it is
always ready for venting gas flows. Utilizing computerized
finite element techniques, the original design of the MSP
29-1/2"-500 has been revamped to provide a unit made up
of fewer parts to reduce cost. This unit may be ordered for
use in standard service (temperate climates) or for use in
cold environments such as the North Sea, Siberia, and
Alaska where low temperature metallurgy may be required.
This MSP provides an effective means of rerouting the flow
of shallow, low-pressure gas. The MSP 29-1/2"-500 can be
used either as a diverter or a 500 psi annular BOP.
Only Two Moving Parts (piston and packing unit) on the
Hydril Annular Diverter mean few surfaces are subjected to
wear. The Diverter is thus a safer and simpler mechanism
requiring less maintenance and less downtime.
Back to Front Feedable Rubber on the Packing Unit
enables the packing unit to close and seal on almost any
shape in the drillstring or close off the open bore and strip
tool joints under pressure. This safety feature permits
confident closure of the MSP-29-1/2"-500 at the initial indication of kick without the delay of locating the tool joint.
The Conical Bowl Design of the Piston provides a simple
and efficient method of closing the packing unit. With the
piston serving as a sealing surface against the rubber
packing unit, there is no metal-to-metal wear on the sealing
surface and thus longer equipment life results.

OPERATION OF THE MSP DIVERTER/BOP

The MSP Diverter/BOP has been developed as a simple,

reliable unit for moderate pressure drilling service, remedial
work, and well servicing. It can be used on surface and
subsea installations. MSP 21-1/4"-2000 operation requires
both opening and closing pressure. The MSP 29-1/2"-500
requires only closing pressure. Seal off is effected by
hydraulic pressure applied to the closing chamber that
raises the piston, moving the packing unit radially inward
into a sealing engagement. Any normal closing unit having a
separate regulator valve for the annular BOP and sufficient
accumulator volume can be used to operate the MSP.

STRIPPING
Cylindrical pipe sections can be rotated and standard size
tool joints can be safely stripped though the closed blowout
preventer packing unit. The pressure applied to the closing
chamber should be low enough to allow a slight leakage of
drilling fluid as the tool joint passes through the closed
packing unit. The drilling fluid lubricates and cools the
packing unit, reducing wear caused by rotation or stripping
of pipe. Overall packing unit life is reduced when used in
stripping operations.
The operation/maintenance manual for the specific MSP
model provides specifications and functional guidelines.

Operation as a Diverter

Operation as a BOP

When using the MSP as a Diverter during top hole drilling,

the primary purpose is to divert well flows away from the rig
and personnel. This application avoids shutting in the well,
but instead permits routing of the flow to a safe
distance on the down wind side of the rig.
In this application, the MSP is attached directly to the drive
or conductor pipe. Vent lines typically are installed directly
below the diverter. The lines should be sized in accordance
with API standards to prevent excessive well bore back
pressure buildup. This may be accomplished by using a
Hydril drilling spool between the diverter and the conductor
pipe.
The Hydril SXV Spool, described on page 38 of this
catalog provides integral venting without external valves.
If valves are to be used in the diverter system, standards
set forth in API RP64 (Recommended Practice for Diverter
Systems Equipment and Operation) should be followed.

When using the MSP as an Annular Blowout Preventer, it

may be hooked up as shown (above, right). In this mode,
well control operations can be conducted within the MSP's
working pressure range
In either mode, pressure applied to the closing chamber
raises the piston closing the packing unit to effect the seal
between the packing unit and pipe. Well pressure or test
pressure also acts on the MSP 21-1/4"-2000 piston below
the sealed off packing unit and further increases the closing
force acting on the packing unit. The MSP 29-1/2"-500 is
not wellbore assisted.

Outlasts other replacement units 5-to-1

The Long Life "LL" Packing Unit has been specifically
designed and tested to provide unsurpassed
performance and durability. In performance tests, it
outlasted other replacement units by a minimum of 5-to-1.
The key to this remarkable performance is a revolutionary
asymmetrical insert design which gives the unit dynamics for
longer life and reliability.

Independent tests conclusively show

the Hydril Long Life "LL" unit far
surpasses other replacement units.
The GK 13-5/8"-5000 "LL" packing unit was fatigue tested
on 5" drill pipe at full working pressure against three other
currently available replacement packing units for the Hydril
GK 13-5/8"-5000 Annular BOP. In this testing, the "LL" Unit
outlasted the other units by a minimum of 5-to-1.

Greater fatigue life means lower

operating costs.
Based on list prices for other available GK 13-5/8"-5000
replacement packing units, you can save 65% to 70% . . . or
more . . . on packing unit costs with the Hydril Long Life "LL"

Packing Unit. WIth a life expectancy five times that of other

replacements tested, Hydril's "LL" Packing Unit was shown
to provide 3-1/2 times more closures per dollar.

Operating principles continue with

LL design
The Hydril "LL" Packing Unit is designed to provide greater
fatigue life without compromising the stripping performance
and operating characteristics of the Hydril GK and GL BOPs.

Hydril tested for quality assurance

As with all Hydril packing units, the "LL" unit is factory tested
in a blowout preventer at its rated working pressure. So you
can be sure of reliable performance, closure after closure.

Start Saving
When it's time for replacement, there's nothing like the original. Contact the Hydril representative nearest you and ask

ANNULAR BOP PACKING UNITS

One of the most important features of Hydril Annular
Blowout Preventers is the packing unit. These reliable units
are manufactured by Hydril from high-quality rubber material
reinforced with flanged steel segments. Each size packing
unit has a large volume of tough, feedable packing material
sufficient to meet most requirements.

Cutaway
Drawing Showing
How Rubber is
Molded
Around Steel Segments

The molded-in steel segments have flanges at the top and

bottom. These segments anchor the packing unit within the
BOP and control rubber extrusion and flow when sealing off
well pressures. Since the rubber is confined and kept under
compression, it is resistant to tears, cuts, and abrasions.
In the open position, the inside diameter of the packing unit
is flush with the full bore of the preventer; bits, drill collars, or
reamers pass through freely. The packing unit is squeezed
inward when closing pressure is applied to the piston. The
bore of the packing unit conforms automatically in size and
shape and seals off any part of the drillstring or seals off
completely if the tools are out of the hole.
Hydril manufactures packing units for the annular BOPs at
its own factory. This allows Hydril to maintain rigid quality
control of packing units.

Hydril Packing Units

Fully Factory Tested
Each Hydril packing unit is factory tested in a BOP prior to
shipment. The packing unit is tested to 50% of working
pressure on open hole and 100% on pipe. The Certified Test
Seal on the packing unit ensures that the unit meets the
acceptance requirements based on years of experience and
development in designing blowout preventers for reliable
well control.

22

Selection
Because of the importance of the packing unit to the
operation of the blowout preventer and to the safety of crew
and rig, only genuine Hydril packing units should be used as
replacements for original equipment. All Hydril packing units
are tested to full rated pressure inside a test BOP at the
factory as part of rigid standard acceptance tests before
being furnished to the consumer.
Packing units for Hydril BOPs are manufactured from
compounded natural rubber or nitrile rubber.
Natural Rubber is compounded for drilling with water-base
drilling fluids. Natural rubber can be used at operating
temperatures between -30F to 225F (-35C to 107C).
When properly applied, the compounded natural rubber
packing unit will usually provide the longest service life. This
all-black packing unit is identified by a serial number with a
suffix "NR".
Nitrile Rubber (a synthetic compound) is for use with
oil-base or oil-additive drilling fluids. It provides the best
service with oil-base muds, when operated at temperatures
between 30F to 180F (-1C to 82C). The nitrile rubber
packing unit is identified by a red color band and a serial
number with the suffix "NBR".
Seals for Hydril BOPs are manufactured from a special
nitrile rubber material which provides long, trouble-free
service in sealing against oil, gas, or water.
Expected H2S and CO2 service does not affect selection of
packing unit material. H2S and CO2 service will reduce the
service life of rubber products, but the best overall service
life is obtained by matching the packing unit material with
the requirements of the specific drilling fluid.
Performance of elastomeric materials can vary significantly,
depending on the nature and extent of exposure to hydrogen
sulfide. The operator should monitor pressure sealing
integrity frequently to assure no performance degradation
has occurred.
Storage Conditions are important for realizing the
maximum life of the packing unit. Packing units should be
stored in a cool, dry, dark storage area. Atmosphere, light
and heat accelerate deterioration of rubber goods. It is also
essential to practice "first-in, first-out" when storing packing
units. Other significant storage factors are covered in the
applicable Operator's Manual.
HOW TO ORDER PACKING UNITS

RAM Blowout Preventers

There is a Hydril ram-type BOP to meet most operational
requirements on surface or subsea. Hydril BOPs
provide quick, positive closure with simple controls,
to keep drilling fluids in the hole when normal or
abnormal pressures occur.

Preventer integrity is preserved in moving and installation as well as operation in hostile environments because
fluid connections are internal to bonnets.
Safety and reliability are assured
because all Hydril ram BOPs
meet the current
revision of NACE.
Hydril is also
licensed to
manufacture to API
Specification 16A, and its
preventers have been certified to all applicable
standards, including DNV,
ABS and Lloyds of London.

Long life is assured through the use of

quality materials and workmanship. Field
replaceable seal seats and hinged
bonnets provide easy
access for ram changes,
reducing downtime.
Flexibility is built in
with a wide selection
of options, including
automatic or manual
ram locking, blind,
variable, pipe and shear
rams, and a choice of positioning
for choke/kill line outlets.

Hydril Compact RAM Type Blowout Preventer

Designed For Workover Blowout Prevention

The Sentry blowout preventor is a ram product designed
to meet the special needs of workover operations. It is
shorter and lighter than Hydrils standard BOPs,
but doesnt sacrifice any of Hydrils
traditional strength and reliability.

1. The Ram Body has controlled and predictable structural

hardness and strength throughout the pressure vessel.
Hydril pressure vessel material has equal strength along all
axes to provide reliable strength and resistance to sulfide
stress cracking in hydrogen sulfide service. These materials
have high impact strength for low temperature service.
Advanced design techniques such as Finite Element Method
of Structural Analysis give a highly reliable BOP with the
desired safety factors.
2. The Ram Assembly provides reliable seal off of the
wellbore for security and safety. The Ram accommodates a
large volume of feedable rubber in the front packer and
upper seal for long service life.
3. The Field Replaceable Seal Seat provides a smooth
sealing surface for the ram upper seal. The seal seat utilizes
specially selected and performance effective materials for
maximum service life. The field replaceable seal seat
eliminates shop welding, stress relieving, and machining for
repair, thus reducing downtime and direct repair costs.
4. Hinged Bonnets swing completely clear of overhead
restrictions (such as another BOP) and provide easy access
for rapid ram change to reduce downtime.
5. Load Hinges separate from the fluid hinge and are

24

equipped with self-lubricated bearings to support the full weight

of the bonnet for quick and easy opening of the bonnet.
6. Fluid Hinges, separate from the load hinges, connect the
control fluid passages between the body and bonnets. This
arrangement provides a reliable hydraulic seal and permits
full pressure testing and ram operation with the bonnets
open. The fluid hinges and bonnet hinges contain all the
seals necessary for this function and may be removed
rapidly for simple, economical repair.
7. Replaceable Cylinder Liner has a corrosion and wear
resistant bore for reliable piston operation. The cylinder liner
is easily field replaceable or repairable for reduced
maintenance cost and downtime.
8. Piston and Piston Rod Assembly are one piece for

during moving and handling operations.
13. Connector Ring Grooves are stainless steel lined for
all connectors (top, bottom and side outlets) for corrosion
resistance of the sealing surface.
14. Ram Compartment is self-draining.
15. Bonnet Seal utilizes field proven material in an
integrated seal design which combines the seal and backup
ring for reliability and long life. An advanced pressure energized bonnet seal for high pressure BOPs providing improved
seal integrity and lower bolt torques is also available.
16. Piston Rod Mud Seal is a rugged, field-proven,
integrally designed lip seal and backup ring retained in the
bonnet by a stainless steel spiral lock ring.
17. Secondary (Emergency) Piston Rod Packing provides an emergency piston rod seal for use in the event of
primary seal leakage at a time when repair cannot be immediately effected, except in Subsea BOPs.
18. A Weephole to atmosphere isolates wellbore pressure,
indicates when seal is achieved and possible leakage in the
primary seat. (Shown out of position.)

19. Piston Seals are of a lip-type design and are pressureenergized to provide a reliable seal of the piston to form the
operating chambers of the BOP.
20. Side Outlets for choke/kill lines are available on all
drilling ram models. Two outlets, one on each side, may be
placed below each ram. In single and double configurations,
outlets may be placed below the upper and lower ram,
below the bottom ram only, or below the top ram only,
therefore providing great versatility in stack design.
21. Single and Double Configurations are available with
a choice of American Petroleum Institute (API) flanged,
studded or clamp hub connections. This allows for the most
economical use of space for operation and service. (Not
shown.)
22. Bonnet Bolts are sized for easy torquing and arranged
for reliable seal between bonnet and body. This prevents
excessive distortion during high pressure seal off. (See
Torque Chart on page 35.)
23. Bonnet Bolt Retainers keep the bonnet bolts in the
bonnet while servicing the BOP.
24. Guide Rods align ram with bonnet compartment,
preventing damage to the ram, piston rod or bonnets while
retracting the rams.
25. Ram Seal Off is retained by wellbore pressure. Closing
forces are not required to retain an established ram seal off.

RAM LOCKING SYSTEMS

FOR CONVENTIONAL BOP

LOW HYDRAULIC
CLOSING FLUID PRESSURE
LOW HYDRAULIC
OPENING FLUID PRESSURE

Hydril Offers A Choice of

Automatic Multiple Position
Locking or Manual Locking On
Ram BOPs.
Hydril Ram Blowout Preventers are available with automatic
Multiple-Position Ram Locking. Multiple-Position Locking
(MPL) allows the ram to seal off with optimum seal squeeze
at every closure. MPL automatically locks and maintains the
ram closed with the optimum rubber pressure required for
seal off in the front packer and upper seal.
Front packer seal wear (on any ram BOP) requires a
different ram locking position with each closure to ensure an
effective seal off. Multiple-Position Locking is required to
ensure retention of that seal off position.
A mechanical lock is automatically set each time the ram is
closed. Ram closure is accomplished by applying hydraulic
pressure to the closing chamber which moves the ram to a
seal off position. The locking system maintains the ram
mechanically locked while seal off is retained even after
releasing closing pressure. The ram is opened only by
application of opening pressure which releases the locking
system automatically and opens the ram, simultaneously.

26

How MPL works

The figure above shows the ram maintained closed and
sealed off by the MPL. Hydraulic closing pressure has been
released. The Hydril Ram Blowout Preventer with MPL
automatically maintains ram closure and seal off. MPL will
maintain the required rubber pressure in the front packer
and upper seal to ensure a seal off of rated working
pressure. MPL will maintain the seal off without closing
pressure and with the opening forces created by hanging the
drill string on the ram.
Locking and unlocking of the MPL are controlled by a
unidirectional clutch mechanism and a lock nut. The
unidirectional clutch mechanism maintains the nut and
ram in a locked position until the clutch is disengaged by
application of opening pressure.
Hydraulic opening pressure disengages the clutch plates to
permit the lock nut to rotate freely and the ram to open.

Motion of the piston and tail rod during closing or

opening the ram causes the lock nut to rotate. The
fast lead, six path helical thread rotates the nut
three turns per foot of travel.

MPL Components
The component parts of the MPL utilize basic mechanisms
and proven techniques to achieve reliable and positive
automatic multiple position locking.
The tail rod is threaded with a fast lead, six path, helical
thread. These threads make three turns per foot.
The mating lock nut and clutch assembly screws onto the tail
rod. Tail rod linear motion causes the lock nut to rotate as the
piston moves to close or open the ram.
The clutch assembly permits or prevents lock nut rotation.
Preventing lock nut rotation prevents piston motion. The clutch
assembly allows unrestrained closing motion. Application of
opening pressure disengages the clutchassembly permitting
opening motion.
LOCKOUT DEVICE

Incorporated in the MPL is provision for testing the locking

mechanism. Manually operated lockout devices prevent
opening pressure from disengaging the clutch assembly.
Application of opening pressure then simulates opening forces
applied to the ram thus testing proper functioning of the lock.
The lockout device position is visually indicated.

Manual Locking
The manual type lock is shown fully locked. The manual lock
can be set after the ram has been hydraulically closed, to
ensure retention of seal-off. Clockwise rotation of the tail rod
locks the ram and counter-clockwise rotation unlocks it. The
ram can also be closed manually, should failure of the
hydraulic system occur. When the ram is open, clockwise
rotation of the tail rod closes the ram and locks it. The ram
must be opened hydraulically after it has been unlocked.
The screw on the manual lock uses a left hand heavy-duty
acme-type thread and is located within the BOP, where it is
protected from weather, corrosion and external damage. The
thread is protected and lubricated by hydraulic operating fluid
for minimum torque requirement.
Setting of the manual lock, after having closed the rams
hydraulically, is facilitated by reducing the closing pressure. Do
not reduce the closing pressure when hanging off drillpipe on
the ram blocks. Ram seal is ensured by the wellbore pressure.

HYDRIL VARIABLE RAM

HVR FRONT PACKERS

Each Hydril Variable Ram (HVR)

is designed to close and seal on a
range of pipe sizes.

Universal Seal Off

The HVR gives a universal seal off feature especially
useful on tapered drill strings and drill pipe that does not
have a constant diameter over its length. Two ram BOPs
with HVRs can be used on a tapered string to provide a
backup for all drill pipe sizes. This application eliminates
having one pipe ram for small diameter pipe and one for
large diameter pipe. If a BOP stack is assembled with a
blind or blind/shear ram and two sets of Hydril Variable
Rams 3-1/2"-6" size, the HVRs will seal on the drill pipe from
3-1/2" to 5-1/2", providing the backup seal off capability
needed on a tapered string. The HVR is therefore ideally
suited for subsea use by expanding the seal off capability of
one ram assembly within a BOP.

Interlocking I-Beam Inserts

The HVR has a variable front packer with interlocking
I-beam inserts molded into the rubber. These inserts confine
the rubber within the packer and against the pipe thus
preventing extrusion of the sealing element. During seal off
on small diameter pipe, the inserts move radially inward to
contact. On large diameter pipe the inserts are displaced
into the front packer. Application of load by the BOP
operator squeezes the sealing element within the confines of
the inserts and the pipe O.D. This action establishes a steel
contained sealing element. A key feature is automatic
adaptation to the pipe size as the ram closes and seals off.

Large Volume of
Feedable Rubber

HVR RAM ASSEMBLY

positive mechanical lock at all positions of the variable ram.

This means the MPL automatically compensates for the
different positions the HVR attains when sealing on different
pipe sizes.

Laboratory Tested . . .
Field Proven
The Hydril Variable Ram functional reliability has been
proven by extensive field use and testing. HVR field tests
have been conducted on wells operated by major oil
companies. Tests include fatigue testing, which simulated
over a year and a half of service by numerous cyclic
operations and pressure tests of the ram packers.
Ram BOP sizes and applicable HVR seal off ranges are
listed below.

The ram block upper seal provides a large volume of

feedable rubber to deliver a long and dependable service
life. The HVR operates inside standard Hydril ram blowout
preventers and utilizes the standard hydraulic operator. This
design permits interchangeability with fixed size pipe rams,
casing rams and/or blind rams at any time.

COMPACT BLOWOUT PREVENTERS

Lighter Weight
Lower Height
Ideal for both rig upgrades and new builds where space is limited. Hydrils compact blowout preventers are
typically up to 20 percent shorter than comparable conventional dual ram BOPs, and approximately
15 percent lighter. Heres an example:

Conventional Dual RAM BOP

18 3/4 inch bore
15,000 psi pressure
Typical weight: 70,000 pounds
Typical height: 93-1/2 inches

No compromise in operating capabilities. Hydrils

compact BOPs provide the same reliability and
long service life the industry has come to expect
in its standard size ram BOPs.
Easy field maintenance: Patented bonnet seal
permits low torque makeup, less time to open
bonnet and access ram blocks. Fewer bonnet
bolts further reduce maintenance time.
Reduced downtime: Upper seal seats and
bottom wear plates can be replaced in service. No
need to disassemble the stack, remove it
from the rig and ship to an offsite repair facility
for time-consuming welding, stress-relief and
re-machining. The hydraulic manifold is also
field replaceable.

30

Compact Dual RAM BOP

18 3/4 inch bore
15,000 psi pressure
Typical weight: 53,100 pounds
Typical height: 75 inches

Increased fluid flow capacity: Hydraulic manifold design increases fluid flow capacity through
the hinge by as much as 40 percent.
Operating flexibility: Hydraulic manifold installs
on either side of the BOP, permitting change of
bonnet opening side as required to fit various
stack configurations.

Conventional Ram Bonnet Seal Upgrade

Conversion of Hydril High Pressure Ram BOPs to
accept New Bonnet Seal Improves Seal Integrity and
Lowers Bonnet Bolt Torque.
Based on Hydril's record of providing the newest and most
advanced designs in blowout prevention equipment, Hydril
has again met the challenge by developing a new patented
bonnet seal that overcomes bonnet gap problems caused by
high pressures. Minimizing these gaps currently requires the
use of very high BOP bonnet bolt torques on high pressure
BOPs. Seal gap problems become more severe in both cold
weather and high temperature applications. Standard high
pressure seals tend to loose their preload without internal
pressure in the BOP which sometimes causes sealing

difficulties at low pressures, especially in cold temperatures.

The results of Hydril's new bonnet seal design improves seal
integrity at both low and high pressures and lowers bonnet
bolt torque significantly to 1500 - 2000 ft.-lbs.
Hydril's original bonnet seal consists of a single seal ring
installed in a groove in the bonnet face (see Figure A).
Hydril's new bonnet seal design consists of a set of special
compound O-rings installed in a seal ring carrier. Conversion
of the BOPs containing the original style bonnet seal to the
new bonnet seal requires removal of the bonnet, machining
a new cavity for the new seal ring carrier, and installing the
seal ring carrier and the O-rings in the cavity as shown in
Figure B.

Diverters
Hydril diverter systems are designed
for strength and simplicity to provide
safe venting of shallow gas flows.
The rugged equipment endures
sustained punishment from erosion,
impact, thrust and pressure loads.
Hydril systems are actuated by a
single hydraulic signal. By eliminating
sequencing malfunctions, integral

on Diverters.
of catastrophes. In the past,
inoperative valves have caused many
accidents. Hydril diverter systems eliminate all these valves
including flowline valves, vent line valve, port/starboard
valves and fill-up valves.
Diverters

FSP 28-2000 Diverter/BOP, a

surface diverter system with integral
venting for use on jack-ups, platforms, and submersibles.

FS 21-500 Diverter System with

integral venting for use on semisubmersibles, drillships, and platforms.
(Available for 49-1/2 and 60 rotary
tables.)

Hydril diverters need no insert bushing and the packing

elements can close on any pipe in the bore or on the
open hole.
Hydril systems have accumulated years of service
on numerous world class drilling rigs. Hydril has developed
a variety of diverter systems to cover a wide range
of rig configurations, well requirements and environmental
conditions.

Rig Survivability. Massive flows of gas and sand can

quickly destroy a rig's diverter system. Hydril diverters are
stout and built to endure the brutal blast of fluid, rocks and
sand. They are thoroughly tested. Valves, insert cartridges,
linkages and sequencing processes that frequently cause
malfunction are completely eliminated.

SXV Diverter Spool with integral

venting for use with large bore
(20-30 range) annular blowout
preventer. This spool can be used
for surface or subsea diverting.

GH Gas Handler is a specialized

annular closing device for deepwater
floating drilling. The GH is located
below the telescopic joint, and it has
integral valving to permit circulating
mud to neutralize a gas intrusion
trapped in the riser above the BOPs.

Economical, easily installed and maintained.

Quick connects, scope and spacer spools enable easy
nipple-up and down. Hydril diverters use dependable
annular packing units. They are routinely maintained and
handled in the same way as BOP's on the rig.
Hydril diverter equipment can be tailored to any rig,
bottom founded, floating or tethered. Arrangements can be
made to permit diverting at the surface and/or subsea. Full
redundancy of surface-subsea options can significantly
enhance reliability.
Simplicity is derived from the patented integral vent design
that eliminates extraneous valves and interconnections.
One command, a hydraulic signal, does it all. Upward
motion of the piston stops the flow of the well fluid and
opens the vent line. Fast response time is ensured, since
there is no waiting for valve functions. Risk of malfunction
during component sequencing is eliminated.
Subsea diverting provides safety advantages by
dissipating destructive forces into the sea, remote from the
rig. Surface support is spared from impact and erosion.
Safety of personnel and rig is enhanced.

40

Subsea Diverter Stack permits

subsea diverting, circulation of kill
mud or shearing of pipe, and disconnecting of the riser as alternative
means of dealing with shallow
gas from a floating rig.

12 or 16 Flow Selector is a
massive two-position target for
selecting port/starboard venting.
