1. Purpose1. Purpose
Ram blowout preventer is the key part of well control device. Its main
purpose is to control wellhead pressure in the process of drilling, workover
and well testing, so as to effectively prevent blowout accidents and realize
safe construction.Ram BOP can perform the following operations:
1) When there is a pipe string in the well, the annular space between casing and drill
pipe can be closed with the corresponding pipe ram;
2) When there is no pipe string in the well, the wellhead can be completely closed
with the full sealing ram;
3) In case of emergency, shear ram can be used to cut the pipe string in the well, and
the wellhead can be fully closed;
4) In the case of well sealing, special operations such as mud circulation, throttling
and blowout, well killing and well washing are carried out through well killing and choke
manifold connected with cross and side outlet of shell;
5) Combined with choke and kill manifold, it can effectively control bottom hole
pressure and realize near balanced kill operation.

ram BOP
When the high-pressure oil of the hydraulic control system enters the
closing cavity of the left and right hydraulic cylinders, the piston is pushed
to drive the ram shaft and the left and right ram assemblies to move to the
wellhead center along the ram cavity of the shell to realize well sealing.When
the high pressure oil enters the opening cavity of the left and right hydraulic
cylinder ram, the piston is pushed to drive the ram shaft and the left and
right ram assembly to move away from the center of the wellhead to open the
wellhead.The gate switch is controlled by the directional valve of the
hydraulic control system.Generally, the opening and closing of the ram can
be completed in 3-15 seconds (but the opening and closing time of the ram is
related to the hydraulic control system, pipeline specification and pipeline
length).When it is necessary to lock the ram, manual operation shall be carried
out separately.
principle
The ram blowout preventer can effectively seal the wellhead only when it
has four seals, that is, the top seal of the ram and the shell; the front seal
of the ram and the seal between the pipe string, the shell and the front seal;
the seal between the shell and the side door; the seal between the ram shaft
and the side door.
The sealing process of the ram is divided into two steps: first, under
the action of hydraulic oil, the ram shaft pushes the front sealing rubber
core of the ram to extrude and deform the front sealing part, and the top sealing
part is compressed by the interference between the sealing rubber core and
the shell, thus forming the initial sealing; second, when there is pressure
in the well, the well pressure pushes the front sealing part of the ram from
the back of the ram to further extrude and deform, and at the same time, the
well pressure pushes the ram from the bottom to float tightlyThe sealing
surface on the shell is sealed to form a reliable seal, that is, the role of
well pressure sealing aid.
1) The shell, side door and other main pressure parts are forged with high strength
and high toughness alloy steel, and after proper heat treatment, the hydraulic strength
test is carried out according to API Spec 16A standard before leaving the factory to ensure
the safe and reliable use of BOP.
2) The shell ram cavity is oblong to reduce stress concentration.
3) The floating well pressure assisted side door sealing structure is adopted between
the side door and the shell, which requires small preload of side door bolts and reliable
sealing.
4) The retaining ring of the sealing packing hole of the ram shaft is made of stainless
steel, and the retaining ring groove is overlaid with stainless steel, which improves the
corrosion resistance of the BOP.
5) The ram cavity of BOP shell is plated with electroless nickel or Welded Nickel,
which can effectively improve the corrosion resistance and wear resistance.
6) The gate is an oblong integral type, and its sealant core adopts the assembly
structure of front seal and top seal. The front seal and top seal can be replaced separately
according to different damage conditions, which is simple and labor-saving.
7) Both the side door switch and the ram are hydraulically driven and have the same
oil circuit.The side door opening and closing RAM are the same oil circuit and operation,
while the side door closing and opening RAM are the same oil circuit and operation.
8) NPT 1 "female thread is used for the hydraulic connection buckle on the shell. In
addition, a tubing seat is installed on the outside. The tubing seat is processed with NPT 1"
female thread, which can protect the thread on the body.After the NPT 1 "female thread
on the oil pipe seat is damaged, the body connection thread on the shell can be directly
used;
9) The dimension of external connection conforms to API Spec 6A.
The pipe ram is divided into full seal ram, fixed hole ram and variable
diameter ram.The pipe ram consists of ram body, top seal and front seal.The
front seal is inserted in the front seal groove of the ram body, and the top
seal is inserted in the top seal groove and the front seal pin hole of the
ram body.

RAM
"Attention": the shear ram does not have the ability to resist
hydrogen sulfide, so it should be used with caution in the environment with
hydrogen sulfide.
"Danger": when cutting the drill pipe, avoid cutting the drill pipe
joint.
The sulfur resistant shear full seal ram is composed of upper ram body,
lower ram body, upper cutter body, lower cutter body, positioning screw, top
seal, side seal and cutter body seal.The upper and lower cutter bodies are
inserted on the ram body and fixed with positioning screws. The cutter body
is sealed in the dovetail groove, and the side seals are blocked on both
sides.The installation of the sulfur resistant shear ram in the BOP is the
same as that of the ordinary ram, and it does not need to change any part of
the BOP.
Note: the direction of the sealing lip of the cutter body should be
away from the V-shaped surface of the shear ram cutter body during assembly.
3) Then install the side seals at both ends, pay attention to the directivity of the side
seal, and the side seal pin should be able to be smoothly installed into the ram body;
4) Install the top seal and tap it into the top seal groove.
4.4.1.2 disassembly:
1) First, pry the top seal upward;
2) Pry the side seal forward;
3) Seal the cutter body from the side.
4) Screw out the set screws from the upper and lower ram bodies;
5) Make the upper and lower cutter bodies from the side.
"Danger": when cutting the drill pipe, avoid cutting the drill pipe
joint.
The two-way seal is used between the side door and the ram shaft, the
Y-shaped seal ring is used to seal the well pressure, and the O-shaped seal
ring is used to seal the hydraulic control pressure.

mechanism
The sealing device between the ram shaft and the side door is divided into
two parts, one is the sealing well pressure, the other is the hydraulic pressure
controlled by the sealing fluid, and the secondary sealing mechanism is located
between the two parts.In general, the sealing is very reliable.But sometimes
the sealing ring is damaged due to long-term maintenance or other reasons,
and leakage will occur during well sealing. At this time, the secondary sealing
mechanism is needed for emergency treatment.
Under the condition of well sealing, if there is fluid flowing out of the
observation hole (at the lower part of the side door), it indicates that the
sealing ring has been damaged. According to the nature of the fluid, it can
be judged whether the sealing ring with well sealing pressure or oil sealing
pressure is damaged.At this time, the screw plug of the upper grease injection
hole should be removed immediately, and the screw of the hole should be rotated
clockwise with an internal hexagon wrench to inject the rod-shaped secondary
sealing grease into the annular gap through the one-way valve to realize the
sealing recovery.

4.8. Ram manual locking mechanism4.8. Ram manual locking
mechanism
The ram manual locking device is composed of locking rod, ram shaft and
manual control assembly, which adopts the structure of rising rod manual
locking.The manual locking device relies on manpower to rotate the hand wheel
to drive the locking rod to rotate and lock the ram.Its function is to lock
the ram in the closed position after the ram is closed hydraulically when the
well needs to be sealed for a long time. At this time, the hydraulic pressure
can be released.When manually locking the RAM after hydraulic closing, rotate
the handwheel to the right, drive the locking rod to rotate through the control
rod, and the end face of the locking rod is against the tail of the ram shaft
to push the ram to move axially to the center of the wellhead to lock the ram.The
manual locking device can only close the ram, but cannot open it. To open the
ram that has been manually locked, the manual locking device must be reset
and unlocked first, and then the ram can be opened hydraulically. This is the
only way. The specific operation method is as follows: first, rotate the hand
wheel to the left until the end point, and then rotate 1 / 8 ~ 1 / 4 turn to
prevent the locking shaft from being stuck in the unlocking position when the
temperature changes, and then open the ramOpen the ram hydraulically.
The oil valve is installed in the cylinder head, and its main function
is to control the hydraulic oil flow into the ram closing cavity of the main
hydraulic cylinder, and prevent the ram from extending out.When the side door
is opened by hydraulic pressure, the RAM will extend forward under the action
of hydraulic oil, that is, close the ram.In order not to extend the ram, close
the oil valve, that is, screw down the oil valve, and then open the side door
by hydraulic pressure, so that the side door can be opened and the ram is also
in the open position, so that the ram can be taken out.The specific operation
steps are shown in the ram replacement method.When opening the oil valve, screw
the top of the oil valve to be flush with the end face of the cylinder head.When
the oil valve is disassembled, it can be taken out by screwing it all the way
out.
"Attention": in the normal use of BOP, the oil valve should be open.
The side door seal ring assembly adopts a floating pressure self sealing
structure. The O-ring 4 forms a seal with the surface of the shell, which is
used to seal the gap between the side door and the shell; the O-ring 3 is used
to seal the side door seal ring skeleton and the outside of the side door seal
ring groove; the rubber spring is used to make the pressure contact between
the side door seal ring and the shell, which is easy to establish the initial
seal; thus the side door seal ring is formedComplete sealing tape.When the
side door is under well pressure, there will be a gap between the joint surface
of the side door and the shell. Because of the pressure difference, the side
door seal ring assembly always clings to the surface of the shell to compensate
the gap.This creates a reliable seal.Therefore, the side door seal of this
structure does not need a large side door bolt preload.
6.1.1 before installing ram BOP, the following inspection work shall be
carried out:
1) Check whether the gasket ring groove of wellhead flange and BOP flange is in good
condition, check the flange plane, and no protruding point is allowed.
2) Check whether the ram size of BOP is consistent with the drilling tool size in the
well.
3) Whether it has passed the pressure test.During the ground inspection and test of
the BOP, the BOP shall be filled with water and the ram shall be opened and closed once
to eliminate the air at the back of the ram in the ram cavity.
shall be checked before use, and it can be used only when there is no
1598m test mandrel with 127 mm (5 in) was used to pass through the 5 "ram
seal.
The variable diameter ram is not allowed to carry out pressure bearing
tripping operation.
A total of 52 locking tests were carried out, and the locking device parts
were not replaced.The number of locking rings is shown in Table 12.
The temperature grade of metal parts of BOP is T-20 / 250 (- 29 ℃ ~ 121 ℃),
and the temperature grade of non-metal seals (except ram rubber core) is bab
(extreme low temperature - 18 ℃, continuous working temperature 66 ℃, extreme
high temperature 93 ℃).
specially customized)
The temperature grade of rubber core of pipe ram and shear ram is bab
(extreme low temperature - 18 ℃, continuous working temperature 66 ℃, extreme
high temperature 93 ℃), and the temperature grade of rubber core of variable
diameter ram is FAA (extreme low temperature 4 ℃ , continuous working
temperature 66 ℃, extreme high temperature 82 ℃).
Regular maintenance and inspection can extend the service life of the BOP,
find out the problems of the BOP in advance, and repair them in time to ensure
the safety of the operation process.
In the process of maintenance, if there are damaged parts, they should
be replaced, repaired or remanufactured in time. After cleaning, all sealing
surfaces should be coated with anti rust oil (it is recommended to apply
synthetic composite aluminum base grease). The anti rust oil used should not
melt when it is below 50 ℃ (125 ℃). The connecting thread should be coated
with thread grease.
All maintenance should be recorded.
The specific maintenance cycle and contents are shown in Appendix 2.
After each shearing operation, the shearing ram assembly shall be taken
out for comprehensive inspection
8.2.3 maintenance
1) It is not allowed to weld the cutter body of ordinary shear ram or sulfur resistant
shear cutter body.
2) Slight stacking and deformation of the cutting edge can be smoothed by oilstone or
polishing machine, and the original shape of the cutting edge can be maintained (because
the shape of the cutting edge directly affects the shearing ability).
3) Replace the damaged rubber seal, and replace the knife body seal even if it is
slightly damaged.
8.2.4 management
1) The product use file shall be established for each shear ram, and the use and
inspection conditions shall be recorded in detail.
2) According to API Spec 16a, the effective service life of shear ram is generally three
times of shear operation.The product shall be tested once before delivery and used twice
in practice (shear test is not allowed in well site blowout drill and daily BOP
operation).After actual use in the well, it should be scrapped and replaced with a new
RAM.If the inspection results after three shearing operations meet the requirements of
surface NDT, it is allowed to continue to use, but the additional shearing times shall not
exceed two.

"Danger": it is not allowed to rotate the drilling tool when the ram
is closed.
"Attention": after the BOP is used or tested, the water in the BOP
body should be drained, the ram should be in the fully open position, and
the anti rust treatment should be carried out.
assembly
1) Check whether there is burr or sharp edge on the parts, and remove it if any, so as
to ensure that all mating surfaces and sealing rings will not be scratched;
2) All parts shall be cleaned before installation;
3) Lubricating oil shall be evenly applied on all mating surfaces and seal surfaces;
thread oil shall be evenly applied on thread surfaces; and attention shall be paid to keep
them clean;
4) Pay attention to the direction of the lip seal ring, and the lip opening faces the
pressure side;
5) The retaining ring used in combination with the seal ring should be installed on the
pressure free side of the seal;
6) The circular arc side of the retaining ring in the T-shaped combined seal ring should
face the side of the T-shaped ring, that is, it should match with the circular arc on the
T-shaped ring.
7) When assembling the sealing ring, special attention should be paid to make it pass
through the steps, chamfers and threaded parts smoothly to avoid scraping.
8) Before installing the fitting parts, check whether the seals at this part are
completely installed.
The ram sealing rubber core is the key part of whether the blowout preventer
can seal the well. Once it is damaged, the blowout preventer can not seal the
well.Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the sealing surface is intact.
If the sealing surface is damaged, it must be replaced in time.The steps to
replace the ram and ram sealant core are as follows:
"Attention": during maintenance, open the side door and timely apply
oil on the surface of the switch piston rod (it is recommended to apply
synthetic composite aluminum base grease).
1) Open the ram with hydraulic oil to make it in the open position;
2) Loosen the bolts of the side door. If the BOP is installed in the well, it is not allowed
to remove the bolts of the side door if there is pressure in the well;
3) Close the oil valve, that is, screw the oil valve to the end and tighten it;
4) Open the side door with hydraulic oil less than 10.5mpa, that is, close the ram and
open the side door to the limit position;
5) If the ram is not in the open position at this time, operate the opening ram action
of the hydraulic control device, open the ram to the full open position and stop to prevent
the side door from closing. If necessary, two pieces of wood with the same size can be
padded between the side door and the shell;
6) Lift the ram assembly upward from the tail of the ram shaft.When taking out the
ram assembly, pay attention to protect the piston rod of the opening and closing side
door to avoid collision and abrasion;
7) To replace the ram rubber parts, first pry the top seal upward, then remove the
front seal forward and replace with a new rubber core.
8) The assembly sequence can be reversed accordingly. The tightening torque of side
door bolts is shown in Table 4. The pre tightening is divided into three times. The first pre
tightening is 50% of the total pre tightening torque, the second is 100%, and the third is
100%.
"Attention": after assembly, open the oil valve (rotate the valve
stem to make its upper end face flush with the upper end face of the cylinder
head), and then operate the switch of the ram.Before closing the ram, the
ram body should be adjusted to keep horizontal, and the oil pressure for
closing the ram should be controlled at about 3Mpa, so that the ram can move
slowly to the diameter center of the BOP, so as to avoid the violent collision
between the ram assembly and the inner cavity inlet of the shell due to the
uneven placement of the ram assembly, and damage the piston rod of the opening
and closing side door.
If the seal between the ram shaft and the side door, the piston seal, the
seal between the ram shaft and the cylinder head, and the piston rod seal of
the opening and closing side door are damaged and leaked, they should be
disassembled for maintenance.
When the sealing rubber or framework of the side door sealing ring is
damaged, it is necessary to replace the side door sealing ring. The specific
steps are as follows:
1) Follow steps 1) to 6) in 9.2;
2) Screw two M12 jacking screws into the screw holes on the left and right sides of
the side door sealing ring to push out the side door sealing ring. When pushing out, pry
the upper and lower sides at the same time;
3) Replace the seal.Attention should be paid when installing the seal: the side door
seal ring is directional, that is, the rubber spring should be installed on the side with
transverse groove on the end face of the frame, and this side is at the bottom of the side
door seal ring groove, and the "0" shaped seal ring is installed in the outer seal groove of
the side door seal ring frame;
4) Install the side door sealing ring: apply lubricating oil to the side door sealing ring
groove and the side door sealing ring, install the side door sealing ring into the groove,
gently press the sealing ring into the groove with a screwdriver, and then install another
"0" shaped sealing ring into the end face groove of the side door sealing ring framework.
9.5. Disassembly and assembly of opening and closing piston
rod
When the piston rod of the opening and closing side door is damaged with
the shell or the sealing ring matched with the side door, or the side door
needs to be repaired, the piston rod of the opening and closing side door needs
to be disassembled. The piston rod of the opening and closing side door is
connected with the shell through the locating sleeve, the opening and closing
piston rod is connected with the locating sleeve through the thread, and the
locating sleeve is connected with the shell through the hexagon
screw.Disassembly and installation shall be carried out according to the
following procedures:
1) Remove the hydraulic cylinder assembly, leaving only the side door and the piston
rod for opening and closing the side door;
2) Push the side door to the position close to the shell, so as not to affect the wrench
operation;
3) Hang the side door gently with a crane to minimize the downward pressure of the
piston rod of the side door when it is opened or closed;
4) Remove the inner hexagon screw between the positioning sleeve and the shell, and
push the positioning sleeve out of the shell with the jack screw;
5) Remove the positioning sleeve on the on / off piston rod;
6) Pull out the open and close piston rod;
7) During assembly, it is the same as the above method. Pay attention to apply
lubricating oil on the fitting surface and screw thread, and check whether the sealing rings
of all parts are installed in place before assembling the piston rod of opening and closing
side doors.
10. Storage of BOP and non-metallic seals10. Storage of BOP
and non-metallic seals
1) For the BOP stored for more than 30 days, the exposed metal surface of parts and
equipment shall be protected by antirust treatment before storage. The protection
method used shall not melt under the temperature of 50 ℃ (125 ° f). For the BOP, the
ram or sealing element shall be removed according to the manufacturer's
recommended practice, the interior or cavity of the body shall be thoroughly cleaned and

6) Visually inspect the side door sealing ring and groove, and check the sealing surface
of the sealing groove for corrosion and other defects that affect the sealing.
7) Visually inspect the ram chamber of the shell for strain, check the plane where the
side door seal is installed for bumps, bulges and other defects that affect the sealing of
the side door, and check the sealing area of the side door seal ring and the sealing
framework of the side door for scratches, bumps, corrosion and other defects that affect
the sealing.
8) Use hydraulic pressure to extend the ram shaft to the maximum stroke position,
and visually check whether there is any damage to the connecting hook between the ram
shaft and the ram; check whether there are surface defects such as scratch and bump on
the outer circle of the ram shaft. If it is slightly damaged, it can be remanufactured on site,
and if it is serious, it should be replaced.
9) Manually extend the locking rod to the maximum stroke position, and visually
check the locking shaft for deformation, bending, bumping and other surface defects. If it
is slightly damaged, it can be remanufactured on site, and if it is serious, it should be
replaced.
10) Visually check the wear condition of the diameter, without excessive wear.
11) After the inspection, the ram of BOP shall be fully opened, the water stains shall
be wiped dry, and the ram body, shell ram chamber, ram shaft hook and other accessible
surfaces shall be coated with lubricating grease for rust prevention.Apply thread grease to
all threads.
12) After the inspection, close the side door again and carry out the closing test
according to the requirements of API Spec 16A drilling and production equipment.
1) Check the shell side plane, ram chamber, gasket ring, side door plane, side door
sealing ring, groove and stop ring, and no defects affecting the sealing
performance are allowed;
2) Check the eccentric wear of the cylindrical surface in the vertical through hole of
the shell, and the eccentric wear in any radius direction is not allowed to exceed 3mm;
3) Check the working face of ram rubber core, no wear, tear, degumming, serious
deformation, aging and other defects are allowed;
4) Check the connecting groove between the ram body and the ram shaft to ensure
that there is no crack or bending deformation; the width and height of the ram body are
not allowed to have serious wear and deformation;
5) Check the locking rod, no crack, bending, groove, locking shaft switch should be
flexible;
6) Check all threaded holes, and do not allow disorderly or missing thread.
7) Visually check whether there are cracks in the ram cavity and flange root of the
shell.
