Open Close Neutral Any position, it does not matter Which ram type preventer on a Cameron 13 5/8", 10,000 psi BOP stack is equipped with thicker intermediate flanges? Pipe rams: Blind rams Shear rams Variable rams What would be the effect of fitting a 7 1/16" x 5000 psi flange to a working 10,000 psi rated BOP stack? The rating would remain at 10,000 psi. The rating would become 5,000 psi. ‘The rating would become 7,500 psi. What is the purpose of the master control valve on an air operated remote BOP panel? It activates the hydraulic fluid cirouit at the panel. It activates the air circuit at the panel. It activates the electric circuit for the open/close lights. It adjusts pipe ram closing pressure. Where are the proximity (activating) switches for the BOP remote panel lights situated? ‘On the pressure gauge mounted on the remote control panel. On the BOP hydraulic control (accumulator) unit. Onside the BOP operating chambers. On the remote control pane! operating handles. (On which ram operation would you be most likely to use the manifold bypass valve? Variable bore ram blocks. Blind/Shear rams. S:inch pipe rams. 3.1/2" pipe rams. 107. 08. 09. 10, According to API RP 53, what is the minimum pressure at which the charge pumps start up? When accumulator pressure has decreased to less than 50% of the operating pressure. When accumulator pressure has decreased to less than 75% of the operating pressure. When accumulator pressure has decteased to less than 90% of the operating pressure. Select three items of equipment that may warn of increasing formation pressure while drilling overbalanced: (Choose three answers) ROP recorder. Pump stroke counter. Gas detector. Casing pressure gauge. Mud temperature recorder. Standpipe pressure gauge. Why are some choke manifolds equipped with a glycol or methanol injection system? To help prevent hydrate formation while circulating out a kick, To help fluids flow better while testing To allow the use of all types of adjustable chokes. To help prevent any backlash that might occur when gas comes out. A test cup for 9 5/8 inch 43.5 to 53.5 #/t casing is used to test a BOP stack to a pressure of 10,000 psi, using 5.0 inch - 19.5 #/t drill pipe. The area of the tester cup subject to pressure is 42.4 square inches. ‘What is the minimum grade of drill pipe that could be used? (and withstand the stress of testing). Grade E drill pipe - Tensile Yield Strength - 311,200 Ib Grade X-95 drill pipe - ‘Tensile Yield Strength - 394,200 Ib Grade S drill pipe - Tensile Yield Strength - 560,100 Ib Grade G drill pipe Tensile Yield Strength - 443,096 fb 92"1 12, 13. 14, What is meant by, “the usable fluid volume of an accumulator The total volume of hydraulic fluid that can be stored in the accumulator tank. The total volume of hydraulic fluid that can be store in the accumulator bottles. The total volume of hydraulic fluid recoverable from the cylinders between the accumulator operating pressure and the minimum operating pressure. The total volume of hydraulic fluid recoverable from the cylinders between the accumulator operating pressure and precharge pressure. The total volume of hydraulic fluid recoverable from the cylinders between the accumulator operating pressure and 750 psi above precharge pressure. ‘What are the two main components of a diverter system? (Choose 2 answers) A low pressure annular preventer with a large internal diameter. Avent line of sufficient diameter to permit safe venting using the mud- gas separator. ‘high pressure ram type preventer with a large internal A vent line with a manually operated full opening valve. ‘A vent line of sufficient diameter to permit safe venting and proper disposal of flow from the well. meter. What is the Rated Surface Pressure for BOP equipment according to API RP 59? Maximum anticipated bottomhole pressure. Maximum anticipated formation pressure. Maximum anticipated surface pressure. Maximum anticipated hydrostatic driling mud pressure. Maximum anticipated dynamic choke pressure. Maximum anticipated MAASP. ‘What is the primary function of weep hole (drain hole, vent hole) on a ram type BOP (Choose one answer) To show that ram body rubbers are leaking To show that the mud seal on the Piston Rod is leaking. To show that the Bonnet Seals are leaking To show that the closing chamber operating pressure is too high. 9315. 16, 17. Identity the one ram locking device from the list below that does not allow for self feeding of ram packers to allow for packer wear. Shaffer "Ultralock" Shaffer "Poslock* Hydril "MPL" Cooper (Cameron) "Wedgelock" Koomey "Autolock" From the list below, identify the ring gaskets that are pressure energized. (Pick four answers). Type RX Type BX Type AX Type R oval ‘Type R octagonal Type CX Which dimension from the list below is used to identify the "Nominal Flange Size". (Pick one answer), Throughbore |.D. Flange 0.0. Diameter of raised face. ©.D. of ring groove. Bolt circle diameter. 94
