Introduction

These high-pressure, heavy-duty BOPs are designed for drill-
ing and workover service. They are hydraulically operated
and can be manually locked by turning handwheels. The
standard trim unit is suitable for internal H2S environments.
Units can be manufactured for Arctic (to –75 °F) and full
H2S environmental services. Standard units can be retrofit-
ted for full environmental H2S service. Shaffer preventers
are manufactured in accordance with the American Petro-
leum Institute (API) specification API Spec. 6A (current
edition) and the National Association of Corrosion Engineers
(NACE) document “NACE Standard MR-01-75” (current re-
vision).
Hydraulic operating fluid can be supplied by a Shaffer or
other BOP Closing System. 1,500 psi (103 bar) hydraulic
pressure will close any model SL ram BOP with rated work-
ing pressure in the wellbore except for the 11" (279.4 mm)
and 135/8" (346.1 mm) 15,000 psi (1,034 bar) BOPs which
require 2,200 psi (152 bar). These two will close against
10,000 psi (690 bar) well pressure with less than 1,500 psi
(103 bar) hydraulic pressure. A 3,000 psi (207 bar) hydrau-
lic pressure may be used.
1.1 Safety Precautions
Exposure to the daily hazards of drilling can lead rig crews
and service personnel to disregard or overlook hidden haz-
ards. The safety precautions described below should be
observed at all times.
1 . 1 . 1 Equipment Repairs or Adjustments
Turn off the system power and bleed all pressure prior
to making any repairs or adjustments that do not
require system power.
1 . 1 . 2 Hydraulic Lines
Hydraulic lines carrying fluids at high pressures can
inflict potentially fatal injuries if the pressure escapes.
Protect hydraulic lines from cutting, scraping, pinch-
ing or other physical damage. Always wear hard hats
and safety glasses when working around hydraulic
lines. Bleed the pressure from any hydraulic line prior
to disconnecting any fittings. Respect the prescribed
ASME code minimum bend radius for hydraulic lines.
Bending around too short a radius can rupture the
line.
1 . 1 . 3 Welding and Cutting
Do not weld or operate acetylene cutting torches near
unprotected electrical cable, flexible hose, or hose
bundles. Weld spatter can seriously damage the hose
or cable. Ensure no slag or spatter enters the hydrau-
lic system.
1 . 1 . 4 Replacement Parts
Many of the BOP components, though apparently
similar to commercial hardware, are manufactured
to system design specifications. To avoid possible
hazardous failures, use only exact replacement parts
or assemblies (see Section 4).
1.2 Warnings, Cautions, and Notes
Observe all warnings, cautions, and notes as presented in
this manual.
Warning
A warning contains essential
infomation related to potentially
hazardous conditions, procedures
and/or practices which, if not strictly
followed or observed, could result
in personnel injury, death, or cata-
strophic damage to equipment.
Caution
A caution contains essential infor-
mation related to potentially hazard-
ous conditions, procedures, and/or
practices which, if not followed or
observed, could result in damage to
equipment or material.
Note
A note contains essential or useful
information related to conditions,
procedures. practices, and/or equip-
ment. Notes are intended to provide
assistance in operation of equipment.
