Coiled Tubing BOP (Blowout Preventer)

A coiled tubing BOP (Blowout Preventer) is a specialized type of BOP that is specifically designed for use with coiled tubing operations. It is typically smaller and more compact than a traditional drilling BOP and is designed to be used with coiled tubing units, which are used to perform a variety of well intervention tasks such as well cleaning, wellbore stimulation, and well completion.

The typical coiled tubing BOP has several key components, including: • The body: The body of a coiled tubing BOP is the main structure of the device that houses the electronic and mechanical systems. It is typically made of steel or aluminum and is designed to be watertight and to withstand the pressure of the well. • The control system: The control system of a coiled tubing BOP is the component that allows the operator to control the various valves, actuators, and rams that make up the BOP. It typically consists of a control console, a control panel, and a series of control lines that connect the control system to the various components of the BOP. • The rams: The rams of a coiled tubing BOP are the components that are used to seal the wellbore in the event of an emergency. They typically consist of a series of steel or composite rams that can be closed to seal the wellbore around the coiled tubing. • The shear rams: The shear rams of a coiled tubing BOP are the components that are used to cut the coiled tubing in the event of an emergency. They typically consist of a series of steel or composite rams that can be closed to cut the coiled tubing.

The engineering specifications for a coiled tubing BOP are: • Working pressure rating: typically from 5,000 to 15,000 psi • Size range: typically from 2" to 4" • Standard: API 16A (American Petroleum Institute)

What was Causing the Discharge Pressure to Keep Going High? Finding the right equipment at the right time can be a challenge when you are busy optimizing your asset. Like most companies, we have our standard procurement procedures which work just fine most of the time, and fortunately our purchasing department was also quite reasonable whenever issues came up (which always seemed to be at 1am on Saturday nights, for some reason). The turnaround had gone pretty well, a little longer than scheduled, but nothing major had been found during the inspections. The plant had been all buttoned up and the project team was finished, and the production team was starting things up when the compressors tripped on high pressure.
Light Intervention Vessel (LIV) A light intervention vessel (LIV) is a type of ship that is specifically designed to support light subsea operations such as well intervention, maintenance and repair, and construction activities. It typically has a large deck area for cargo and equipment, a moonpool, and a dynamic positioning system that allows the vessel to maintain its position in relation to a subsea structure. It is also equipped with a subsea crane and/or ROV (Remotely operated vehicle) launch and recovery systems. The accommodation quarters for crew and passengers are also available.
Everything Planned Perfectly, Except for One Small Part... I had been transferred in specifically for my offshore drilling experience. This was the first drilling campaign the customer had ever done and I was brought in to manage the entire project - subsurface, drilling, completions, facilities and production operations. It felt ok as I had done this job many times before in many areas, but this felt special - it was new for this company, and they were nervous, which meant everything was reviewed closely. It is normal in the industry to never have enough time for planning, and this was no different, but the schedule wasn't too bad and the people I worked with were all experienced professionals so the planning went smooth.
