Ram BOP

 Ram Preventers are designed to seal the annulus by forcing two front packing elements
which make contact with each other and seal around the object in the well bore.

1. Pipe Ram : It seals around the well bore and the fixed size of pipe.

45 Days Long 2. Blind Ram : It seals around the well if no pipe in the well bore.
Virtual
Internship on 3. Variable Bore Ram : It seals around several pipe sizes depending on the range of
Oil & Gas
Industrial variable bore ram.
Practices
4. Shear Ram : It shears the pipe in the well and seal the wellbore simultaneously.

Accumulator or Koomey Unit

 An accumulator or Koomey unit is a unit used to hydraulically operate Rams BOP, Annular BOP, HCR
and some hydraulic equipment.

 There are several of high pressure cylinders that store gas (in bladders) and hydraulic fluid or water
under pressure for hydraulic activated systems. The primary purpose of this unit is to supply hydraulic
45 Days Long power to the BOP stack in order to close/open BOP stack for both normal operational and emergency
Virtual
Internship on situation.
Oil & Gas
Industrial  Stored hydraulic in the system can provide hydraulic power to close BOP’s in well control operation,
Practices therefore, kick volume will be minimized. The accumulator should have sufficient volume to close/open
all preventers and accumulator pressure must be maintained all time.

 According to API RP53, your reservoir tank should have a total volume at least 2 times of usable volume
to close all BOP equipment.
