Introduction to the company:
Steel Tech BOP is a synergistic approach to the manufacture of

BOP products. Over 80 years of combined experience in related fields
Including Casting, Machining, Procurement, and Service integrated
into one outstanding new product. Direct contact between all levels
of the organization simplifies and improves the product. Skilled
technicians working together within their area of expertise bring to
you the cultivation of their efforts in the Steel Tech TGR Gate Ram
and TA Annular BOPs.
North American based, the Castings are all 100% inspected for
Material and Chemical specifications as listed in the applicable ASTM
manual. Finished products will be shipped together with the complete
data package verifying manufacturing standards meet or exceed the
listed API 16A standard and regulation. The majority of
manufacturing will be performed within Canada and inspections
performed are as detailed within said governments current standard
and testing bodies regulations.
Every BOP manufactured will bear the standard, “H2S Trim.” This
standard will be assured via the document package detailing
specifications for all well bore exposed parts. Standards are
maintained as per the MR0175 and API 16A standards in place at the
time of manufacture
Mission Statement
Industry requires all of it's partner organizations to raise the
level of safety and reduce the liability for employee, environmental
and corporate entities. Steel Tech BOP is determined to become a
market force. Our commitment to quality is surpassed only by our
intent to surpass our customers’ expectation. Steel Tech owners,
partners, sub-contractors and agents will foster a positive
environment where manufacturing, service and customers all
contribute to the success of the industry and product. Our
commitment to all levels and areas will be demonstrated through the
final product. Owners, Management, Employees and sub-contractors
will combine efforts to maintain constant product integrity,
scheduled deliveries, economical BOP and parts price, and Industry
Satisfaction as "Leaders" in our product.

Preventer Operation5
Regional operating policies and guidelines must be strictly adhered to relating to Hydraulic Source requirements.
Manufacturer’s minimum standard operating system requires the ability to open and close the ram block sets
18
independent of all other rig operational systems.

7
Prior to operation, all pressure hoses and connections should be inspected and verified in good condition. Ensure
all connections are pressure worthy and both open and closed hydraulic ports on preventer are properly configured
at closure source panel. Note: Separate open and close hydraulic hose set must be employed for each set of Ram
Block Sets utilized i.e.TGR double gate preventer requires 2 close & 2 open hydraulic hoses. 14

The hydraulic preventer requires a hydraulic hose set rated for the pressure with connections meeting

5
Always inspect all studs and nuts to be used in securing BOP system onto well head. All studs and nuts must be
present and properly secured to effect a proper installation. Ring grooves should be free of all contaminants in-
cluding rust. A fine grit emery tape may be used to remove light irregularities. A new ring gasket rated for the
18
conditions should be installed at the beginning of any installation onto the well head.
7
Lifting panels have been installed on your preventer to avoid improper lifting that may cause damage.
Reference your company “Lifting and Rigging” policy for operations tailored to your units unique capabilities.
Special attention should be paid to all apparatus to be employed during the placement. Reference weight to be
lifted on page 12. 14
1. Ensure all studs and nuts are present and in good condition. 8 12
2. Install new, appropriately rated, ring gasket in well head or other connection to be made.

Regular inspection of the BOP is the best way to ensure its working condition. The following inspection schedule
is designed with performance and cost efficiency of your BOP in mind.
18
DAILY INSPECTION
1. All pipe rams and blind rams should be well greased 7on bottom side to allow free movement over the
skid pads on the bottom of the ram cavity.
2. Rams closed and opened daily to ensure proper function. Reference Opening/Closing section Page 4.
3. Inspect the exterior of the preventer for obvious hydraulic leaks or damage.
4. Investigate all leaks or damage further prior to proceeding. 14
5. Upon determination that BOP is in working order, apply hydraulic 8 pressure and re-examine for leaks. 12
6. Detail all findings for future reference.

PRE-SERVICE
Cleaning and lubricating all parts and seals when assembling or replacing
7
parts is imperative. All seals and
o-rings exposed during repair should be discarded and replaced.
1. O-rings and seals should be lubricated with a silicone lubricant prior to installation.
2. Light grease should be used for ram block lubrication.
3. All threads should be lubricated with anti-seize lubricant, or equivalent, prior to assembly. 14
