| was asked about BOP testing procedures fom my junior staf on the rg. Ths is very simple but important question: therefore, | woul Ike to share wit
you 28 wall about the BOP testing procedure
Note: my reference is based on API RP 53.

preventing pressure topping of while testing.

LILBOP test There are 3 categories that you should consid for full BOP test
1. Prior to supping the wall: th frst time that BOP is installed onthe wal
2. Aller repairing or aisconnecting of any pressure eealing elements of BOP.
3. As por MMS, you can use BOP for 21 days (9 wosks) befor you noed fo testi again. Or you must fow the local regulations. For examplo, in tho
North Sea, they alow you only 14 days betore next BOP test
High pressure test for RAMS and auxiliary equipment
High prossue testo rated working pressure of RAMS SOP and auxllary equipment OR rated working pressure of your wellhead, Seloct he lower
‘number. For example, you BOP is rated for 10,000 ps and your wallnad is rated fr 8500 ps Your high pressure test forthe RAMS BOP ane ausilary
‘equipment must ba only 6500 pi
‘High pressure test for Annular Proventer
High preseure test should apoly to 70% of rated working pressure of RAMS tost pressure, Select the lower number, For example, you test your ram at
15,000 ps and tho annular working prossute is 6,500 ps. You nod to lost your annular to 3600 psi (70% of ams tosting pressure),
Low pressure test for both annular and RAMs preventer
200 ~300 ps should be appled for a low pressure test andthe period is § minutes

sosseph,
BOP equipment sometimes leaks at ow pressure but seal with high pressure, Therefore we need to ensue thal the BOP component can
seal both low and igh pressure,

“Thanks forthe explanaton,
My BOP stack is 2 double Ram 18K plus the annular, 10 K,CAMERON TL, I have 2 Questions:
| was asked totes the top fixed ram by eloing the botom fixed am and do the pressure test in between, a¢ We dont have plug tester to it
my 5 1/2 DP and cress over isnot avaliable, | cd not accept tis but people were forcing me and said this s normal and We do that f We
have problem with he tes plug
“The choke and killin arrangement is kind of stange to mo, the stack sas bolow:
Pipe ram, variable Blind pipe ram ard annular, so, kl ine i connected tothe bin
‘the VBR ram side outlet, and | have nothing conected below my bottom fixed ram andi want to move choke and kil valves down t have to
cutal the fixed steel pipes coonecte to hydraulic actuated valves, please advise
1 side outlet and the chock ine is connected Below on
Doerr Arse
Mostafa,
Tho frst one: This is potty weld set up. The RAMS aro not design te hold pressure from th top. Ineed more deals about this before!
can say its OK or not. Far now, tis not quite good for me.
“The second one: Ths Set up works for me. Kil ine onthe top isto minimize gas tap in BOP. You don't need to have the line below the
fixed ram. The reason being is f you want to fx the choke or kl lines and valves, you can use the bottom pie ram to shut the well in
while xing the issue with choke an killin.
Rogards,
Shyne.

How many percent maximum pressure dap fr BOP test in S min ar 10 min?
for example we test 5000 Psi (what isthe maximum pressure drop we can sald the test pass.

You mus gt straight le onthe testing chart. There is no % of pressure drop regarding the BOP testing unless you have agreement

Could you inform us the Ton miles ealelation for BOP’s run?
Brn
You can simply apply Ton-mie wile running casing but instead of using casing weight, you use BOP + riser weight
