Slickline BOP (Blowout Preventer)

A slickline BOP (Blowout Preventer) is a specialized type of BOP that is specifically designed for use with slickline operations. Slickline is a thin, un-insulated wire that is used to perform a variety of well intervention tasks such as setting and retrieving plugs, measuring depth, and running tools. A slickline BOP typically has the same functions as a coiled tubing BOP, which is designed to seal and control the well in the event of an emergency, but is designed to be used with slickline instead of coiled tubing.

The typical slickline BOP has several key components, including: • The body: The body of a slickline 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 slickline 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 slickline 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 slickline. • The shear rams: The shear rams of a slickline BOP are the components that are used to cut the slickline in the event of an emergency. They typically consist of a series of steel or composite rams that can be closed to cut the slickline.

The engineering specifications for a slickline 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.
Subsea X-mas Tree (SS Christmas Tree) A subsea x-mas tree (Christmas tree) is a type of wellhead assembly that is used to control and regulate the flow of oil and gas from a subsea well. It is typically installed on the seafloor and is used to control the flow of fluid from the well to the production system on a platform or floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel. The subsea x-mas tree is a complex assembly of valves, spools, and fittings that are designed to be durable and able to withstand the harsh conditions of the deep sea environment.
Everyone wants to do a good job or DEG Regeneration Drama I had just been put in charge of the Facilities Engineering department and I found the job great - working with lots of production, maintenance, and operations people. My manager came to me with an issue that a vendor had not done the work they were supposed to do, took the money for the job, delivered the wrong equipment, and refused to help commission and fix the system. The first step was to figure out what this project was all about. The company was using di-etheylene glycol (DEG) to carry corrosion inhibitor from the wells to the gas treatment facility, as well as binding any free water to avoid hydrates. At the facility the glycol was re-generated by heating the glycol to boil off the water from the glycol (returning it to Lean Glycol). The lean DEG was then returned to the field and re-injected at different wellsites. It was mandated two years previous that the existing DEG regeneration system did not meet standards and would have to be replaced with a new system. The first year this was agreed was a tough one in the industry, so it was almost immediately cut from the budget. The following year it was permitted to have study work done, but at a fraction of the required engineering cost. The year that it was scheduled to be installed, engineering began, and consultants were hired to execute the project and pressure was placed on the organization to get this now hyper-critical regulatory issue dealt with.
