K. Temperature Rating of Annular BOP Packers

1. Standard Service - API 16A 3rd Edition Temperate Rating XX

There is no industry accepted method of establishing


BOP temperature ratings at this time. These are
estimates based on lab testing and field performance.
Temperature ratings for rubber components must
take into account the environmental exposure history,
the chemical environment while at temperature, and
other factors. Therefore, a single number rating can be
misleading if all conditions are not understood.

II. APPLICABLE OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS

A. Packer/Donut Assembly

1. The packer is a cylinder of molded rubber combined with 16 steel reinforcing


inserts.
2. The donut is made of homogeneous molded rubber that surrounds the packer.
TC9598 2-74
DRILLING SYSTEMS

3. The packer inserts are flanged on the top and bottom.


4. The shape of the flanges have been designed to maintain an unbroken barrier of
steel above and below the packer rubber as the packer is closed, regardless of the
size or shape of the pipe or tool in the bore.
5. The uninterrupted barrier reduces rubber extrusion, even under high bore pressure.
6. The rubber on the ID of the packer forms a pressure tight seal against the pipe or
the tool in the BOP bore.

B. Hydraulic Operating System

1. The annular BOP does not depend upon wellbore pressure to close the packer.
2. Closing pressure must be maintained to the operating system to hold the packer in
the closed position.
3. This independence of wellbore pressure gives the operator control of the rubber
pressure on the pipe, reduces packer extrusion, and can significantly increase
packer life when the BOP is used for stripping.

C. Closing the Annular BOP

1. Hydraulic fluid is pumped into the closing chamber to force the piston and the
pusher plate upward against the donut.
2. The pusher plate squeezes the donut, forcing the donut to expand inward.
3. The inward displacement of the donut forces the packer inward toward the center
of the bore.

D. Opening the Annular BOP

1. Hydraulic fluid is pumped into the opening chamber to force the piston and pusher
plate downward.
2. As pusher plate is withdrawn, the donut returns to its relaxed shape, allowing
packer to return to its fully open position.

III. DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE

A. Part Preparation Prior to Disassembly

The work area should be clean and well-lit.

B. BOP Disassembly

1. Clean the outside of the BOP body (item 1). Use high pressure water and detergent
to clean mud and debris from the outside of the BOP.
2. Make sure the BOP is fully open. Apply opening pressure and allow pressure to
build up to the regulator pressure and make sure that the packer is completely
open.
3. Remove and bleed all operating pressure.

TC9598 2-75
DRILLING SYSTEMS

4. Vent the operating system. Remove the plugs from the unused open and close
ports on the BOP body. This will eliminate the possibility of accidental operation of
the BOP once the quick-release top is unlocked.
5. Inspect the top trash seal (item 16). If the seal is damaged, it should be replaced as
soon as possible, to keep mud and debris out of the mechanism of the quick-release
top (item 2).
6. Open the access flaps on the top trash seal (item 16). Clean out the cavity around
the head of each actuator screw. Do not reuse the grease removed from these
cavities.
7. Grease the actuator screws (item 11). Inject a molybdenum disulfide or graphite-
loaded grease fitting in the head of each actuator screw, until grease is forced up
through the threads and comes out underneath the head of the actuator screw.

The actuator screws should be greased before unlocking


the quick-release top. This should be done EVERY time
the top is unlocked. This will make the screws turn more
easily and reduce the possibility of thread galling.

8. To prepare for the removal of the quick-release top (item 2), install eye bolts in the
tapped holes in the top.
9. Using two wrenches, operate the actuator screws (item 11) in pairs of two adjacent
(not opposite) screws, alternately lifting first one side of the actuator ring and then
the other. Turn each actuator screw counterclockwise, a few turns at a time, or
until the screw starts to bind. A socket wrench with a 12-inch handle works well for
turning these screws.

If only one wrench is used, the wrench should be


moved from one screw to the next, moving in the same
direction around the ring.

10. When the actuator screws can no longer be turned using a wrench with a 12-inch
handle, the actuator ring (item 10) has reached its uppermost position, and the
quick-release top should be fully unlocked.
11. Clean out the vent ports using a stiff wire or rod. Attach lifting chains to the lifting
eyes in the top and lift the quick-release top out of the BOP body. If the top is
pulled at an angle instead of straight out, the top may bind in the BOP body.

Dried mud or clogged vent ports may cause the quick-


release top to stick in the BOP body. When lifting force
is applied, the top may break loose suddenly. Use safe
rigging and lifting procedures to avoid injury.

TC9598 2-76
DRILLING SYSTEMS

The packer and donut may hang up in the quick-release


top as the quick-release top is lifted out of the BOP
body, and then fall from the quick-release top.

If the packer and donut (item 7) hangs in the quick-


release top, lower the top to the floor, then insert a pry
bar through the bore FROM ABOVE and pry the donut
loose.

12. Set the quick-release top (item 2) down on a flat, clean surface.
13. Remove and inspect the top trash seal (item 16), being careful not to damage the
seal.
14. Remove the actuator ring stop screws (item 37).
15. To remove the actuator ring/lock ring assembly, install eye bolts in the tapped holes
in the actuator ring (item 10), and lift the assembly off the quick-release top.
16. Pull each actuator screw (item 11) from its slotted recess in the actuator ring (item
10). Remove the pair of actuator screw bearings (item 17) from each actuator screw.
DO NOT remove the grease fitting from the head of the actuator screw unless it is
damaged.
17. Remove and inspect the top ID (item 66) and top OD (item 67) seal rings.

To remove seals, use a dull tool, such as a screwdriver


blade with the sharp edges removed. Insert the tool
under the seal at one point, and carefully stretch the
seal out of the groove by pulling the tool around the
entire circumference of the groove. A sharp tool may
damage the seal or the seal groove.

18. Install eye bolts in the tapped holes in the top of the packer, attach lifting chains,
and lift the packer out of the BOP body. If the donut does not come out with the
packer, use a pry bar to lift the donut in order to get a lifting strap around the
donut.
19. Install eye bolts in the tapped holes in the support plate (item 15) and remove it
from the BOP.
20. Remove the outer cylinder lock ring (item 14).

Older model BOPs may not be equipped with this lock


ring. If this is the case, move on to step 22.

TC9598 2-77
DRILLING SYSTEMS

21. Remove the outer cylinder lock segments (item 13). Use a pry bar or a long flat
head screwdriver to assist in the removal of the lock segments.
22. Use an air wrench to remove the inner cylinder nuts (item 31).
23. Remove the pusher plate screws (item 36).
24. Install lifting eyes into the pusher plate (item 6) and remove it from the BOP.
25. Apply low pressure hydraulic fluid (up to 300 psi) to the BOP close port. Release the
pressure as soon as the seal leaks.
26. Install lifting eyes into the tapped holes in the top of the inner cylinder (item 4).
Attach lifting chains and lift the operating system out of the BOP body (item 1).

C. Disassembly of the Operating System Outside the BOP

1. If the pusher plate (item 6) has not been removed, remove the pusher plate screws
(item 36) and then lift the pusher plate (item 6) off the piston (item 3).
2. Install lift shackles into the threaded holes for the pusher plate screws in the top of
the piston (item 3).
3. Raise the operating system and install lift shackles into the holes in the bottom of
the piston (item 3).
4. Position and secure the operating system in such a way that the operating system
will be on a flat level surface and also provide a means to use the shackles on the
bottom of the piston secure it to a fixed surface or heavy object.
5. Secure the piston (item 3) via the shackles on the bottom of the piston so it cannot
move vertically.
6. Remove the lift shackles from the top of the piston.
7. Install lift shackles to the top of the outer cylinder.
8. Install straps/chains to the shackles in the outer cylinder.
9. Lift outer cylinder off of the piston and set aside on a flat surface.
10. Install lift shackles to the top of the inner cylinder.
11. Install straps/chains to the shackles in the inner cylinder.
12. Lift the inner cylinder off of the piston and set aside on a flat surface.
13. Remove all seals and wear bands from the piston, inner cylinder and outer cylinder.
14. Inspect all grooves and surfaces for defects and address issues as appropriate.

IV. ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE

A. Part Preparation Prior to Assembly

The work area should be clean and well-lit.


1. Remove all dirt, grit, oil, and contaminants from the ID sealing surfaces of the body
and all fluid passageways. Clean detergent and fresh water should be used for
cleaning. High pressure air may also be used if it is dry air.
2. Clean the piston, the outer and inner cylinder, and the quick-release top using
clean detergent and fresh water. Lubricate areas that will come in contact with
other parts.

TC9598 2-78
DRILLING SYSTEMS

3. Sealed elastomer containers should not be opened until they are required for
assembly. This is to prevent contamination and damage to the seals.

B. Assembly of the Quick-Release Top Outside the BOP

1. Place quick-release top (item 2) on a pallet with the flange stud holes looking up.
2. Assuming actuator screw inserts (item 12) were removed, apply anti-seize to the
outside threads of the four actuator screw inserts and install them into the tapped
holes of the quick-release top until the top of insert is flush with the top of the
hole. The top of each insert is slotted to allow the insert to be turned with a
screwdriver blade.

The easiest way to install an insert is to first thread it


onto an actuator screw and then use the actuator screw
as an insertion tool.

3. Apply anti-seize to the threads of the four insert retaining screws (item 45). Install
the insert retaining screws and tighten them securely with an Allen wrench.
4. Apply a light coat of grease to the outside surface (the teeth) of the split lock ring
(item 9) and apply a heavy coat of grease to the inside surface of the split lock ring.
Also, completely fill the axial grooves on the inside of the ring.
5. Position actuator ring (item 10) inside the split lock ring (item 9).
6. Install actuator screws (item 11) into the actuator ring (item 10) by first suspending
the actuator ring/lock ring assembly above the quick-release top (item 2). Apply
grease to the threads of actuator screws and to actuator screw bearings (item 17).
Install a bearing on the top side and another on the bottom side of actuator screw
head. Slide each actuator screw into its recess in actuator ring.
7. Install actuator ring/lock ring assembly on the quick-release top (item 2). Slowly
lower actuator ring/lock ring assembly into place on the quick-release top until
actuator screws can be started in the threads of actuator screw inserts.
8. When all four actuator screws (item 11) are started (at least two threads) in the
actuator screw inserts (item 12) without binding, remove lifting chains.
9. Using two wrenches, operate actuator screws (item 11) in pairs of two adjacent
(NOT OPPOSITE) screws, alternately lowering first one side of actuator ring and
then the other. Turn each screw clockwise, a few turns at a time, or until the screw
starts to bind. A socket wrench with a 12” handle works well for turning these
screws.

If only one wrench is used, it should be moved from one


screw to the next in the same direction around the ring.

10. Using actuator screws (item 11), lower actuator ring (item 10) approximately 1” so
actuator ring stop screws (item 37) can be installed.
11. Apply anti-seize compound to the threads of actuator stop screws (item 37) and
seat all four screws fully before tightening any of them.

TC9598 2-79
DRILLING SYSTEMS

12. Install the quick-release top OD seal (item 67) with sealing lips facing the body.
13. Using lifting chains, raise entire top assembly and install the top ID backup ring
(item 71) and seal ring (item 66). Lubricate this seal with grease AFTER backup ring
and seal ring are installed.

TC9598 2-80
DRILLING SYSTEMS

5. Lower inner cylinder (item 4) slowly and inspect each seal as it engages with piston
(item 3).
6. Seat the inner cylinder (item 4) on piston (item 3) by placing a packer (item 7) on
the inner cylinder and then set the BOP body (item 1) on top of the packer. The
weight of the BOP body should be sufficient to seat the inner cylinder on piston.
7. Remove the BOP body (item 1) and packer (item 7), and then install lifting eyes
in the piston (item 3). Lift assembly. Inspect the underside of piston to ensure the
piston ID seal ring and piston ID bearing ring have not extruded out of the groove.

E. Assembly of the Outer Cylinder onto the Piston

1. Apply a light coat of light grease or STP oil treatment to outer surface of piston.
2. Place piston/inner cylinder assembly on a flat, clean surface.
3. Apply a light coat of light grease or STP oil treatment to inner surface of outer
cylinder (item 5).
4. Slowly lower outer cylinder (item 5) onto the piston (item 3). Keep outer cylinder
level and ensure seals do not slip out of the grooves and become pinched or cut as
cylinder slides onto piston. Inspect each seal as it engages with piston.
5. Seat the outer cylinder on piston by placing quick-release top (item 2) on the outer
cylinder (item 5), then place the BOP body (item 1) on the quick-release top. The
combined weight should be sufficient to seat the outer cylinder on piston.
6. Remove the BOP body (item 1) and quick-release top (item 2), and then install
lifting eyes in the piston.
7. Lift the assembly and inspect the bottom of the piston to ensure the piston OD seal
ring and piston OD bearing ring have not extruded.

F. Preparation of the BOP Body

1. Install inner cylinder studs (item 30) into the BOP body (item 1). Be sure to coat
studs with anti-seize thread lubricant.
2. Lubricate the interior of the body by applying a light coat of grease or STP oil
treatment to the inside of the body below locking grooves.

Make certain any plugs installed in the vents of the BOP


body have been removed and that all control system
lines have been disconnected from the BOP. Otherwise,
it may be impossible to seat operating system in the BOP
body.

G. Assembly of the Pusher Plate to the Operating System

1. Clean the tapped holes in the top of piston (item 3).


2. Lower the pusher plate (item 6) onto the top of piston (item 3).
3. Apply anti-seize compound to pusher plate screws (item 36) and install them.

TC9598 2-81
DRILLING SYSTEMS

4. Fully seat all pusher plate screws (item 36) and tighten to 190 ft-lb (258 N•m) if
using a lubricant with a friction factor of 0.07, or 319 ft-lb (432 N•m) if using a
lubricant with a friction factor of 0.13.
5. Install freeze plugs (item 81) into pusher plate (item 6) above each push plate screw
(item 36) and press in until flush with the top surface of pusher plate.

H. Installation of the Operating System as a Unit into the BOP Body

1. Lubricate the interior of the body by applying a light coat of light clean oil to the
inside of the body below the locking grooves.

Make certain that any plugs installed in the vents of


the BOP body have been removed, and that all control
system lines have been disconnected from the BOP.
Otherwise, it may be impossible to seat the operating
system in the BOP body.

2. Install eye bolts in the tapped holes in the top of the inner cylinder. Do not attempt
to lift the operating system using eye bolts installed in the outer cylinder.
3. Attach lifting chains and suspend the operating system above the BOP body.
4. Apply a light coat of light clean oil to the outer surface of the operating system.
5. Line up the holes in the inner cylinder with the studs in the BOP body, then slowly
lower the operating system into place.
6. Make certain the lip seals on the outside of the outer cylinder are not forced out
of the seal grooves, and use care not to pinch or cut them during the assembly
process.
7. Remove the lifting eyes from the inner cylinder.
8. Apply anti-seize compound to the threads of the inner cylinder nuts (not to the
studs).
9. Draw the inner cylinder into place with the inner cylinder nuts.

If the inner cylinder is sitting so high in the BOP body


that the inner cylinder nuts cannot be started onto the
inner cylinder studs, place a few nuts on top of the inner
cylinder between the stud holes. Then place a packer on
top of the nuts and use the quick-release top as a weight
to force the inner cylinder down into the body.

10. Install the inner cylinder nuts and tighten them evenly to 2220 ft-lb.
11. Make sure the outer cylinder is properly seated. The shoulder of the outer cylinder
should be level with or slightly lower than the adjacent inner shoulder of the BOP
body.

TC9598 2-82
DRILLING SYSTEMS

If the outer cylinder is too high in the BOP body, place


three heavy hex nuts of the same size on the outer
shoulder of the outer cylinder. Stand the nuts on edge,
if necessary, and space the nuts evenly around the
cylinder. Do not allow the nuts to protrude beyond the
outer edge of the outer cylinder. The inner cylinder nuts
are suitable for this application. Use the quick-release
top as a weight to seat the outer cylinder. Lower the top
into the BOP body, and set it down on the nuts.

If this extra weight does not succeed in setting the


outer cylinder, the 13-5/8” 5M/10M Assembly tool (P/N
2395747-01) can be utilized to set the Outer Cylinder.

12. Install the outer cylinder lock segments in the groove on top of the outer cylinder.
13. Install the lock segment retaining ring next to the lock segments.
14. Lower the support plate into place inside the pusher plate. Make certain the
recesses in the underside of the support plate fit down over the inner cylinder
studs. The support plate should rest evenly on the inner cylinder nuts.

I. Final Assembly

1. Lubricate the inside of the BOP body by applying a light coat of light clean oil.
2. Apply a light coat of grease or light machine oil to the teeth of the lock ring and
the lower surface of the quick-release top.
3. Lubricate the OD and ID of the donut (item 7) with a light coat of grease. Make
certain the donut is installed top side up. The word “TOP” is molded into the
rubber and the top side of the donut has a long, smooth bevel on the OD. Use a
fabric sling to lift the donut into the BOP.
4. Attach eye bolts to the top of the inserts on the packer. Attach lifting chains to the
eye bolts. Lift the packer into the BOP and position the packer inside the donut.
Make sure the packer is installed top side up.
5. Lower the assembled quick-release top into the BOP body.

The quick-release top is designed to rest on the shoulder


within the BOP body which is just below the locking
grooves. When the top is resting on the shoulder, the
upper surface of the top is flush with the upper surface
of the BOP body. The top must be in this position before
it can be locked.

6. Lock the quick-release top with the actuator screws. The quickest and easiest way
to lock the quick-release top is to use two wrenches.
7. Operate the actuator screws in pairs of two adjacent (NOT OPPOSITE) screws,
alternately lowering first one side of the actuator ring and then the other.
TC9598 2-83
DRILLING SYSTEMS

8. Turn each actuator screw clockwise, a few turns at a time, or until the screw starts
to bind. A socket wrench with a 12-inch handle works well for turning these screws.
9. When the actuator screws can no longer be turned with the 12-inch wrench, the
actuator ring should be in its lowermost position. When the actuator ring is in this
position, the teeth of the lock ring are fully engaged in the locking grooves of the
BOP body, and the upper surface of the top trash seal is approximately flush with
the upper surface of the quick-release top. The quick-release top is now locked.
10. Grease the actuator screws with molybdenum disulfide or graphite-loaded grease
in the grease fitting.
11. Pack the cavity around the head of each actuator screw with clean grease.
12. Close the access flaps of the top trash seal.
13. Reinstall the pipe plugs which were removed to vent the operating system. Use TFE
thread-sealing tape on the plugs.
14. Verify operation of the BOP.

V. OPERATION PROCEDURES

A. Normal Operation

1. Operating Pressure – General Recommendations


a. A minimum closing pressure of 1500 psi (103.4 bars) is required to close and seal
the BOP on pipe. Higher closing pressures (up to the rated working pressure of
3000 psi (206.8 bars) may be necessary, depending upon packer condition, pipe
size, and ambient temperature.
b. Closing pressure should never be reduced below 1500 psi (103.4 bars), except
when stripping. It is only during stripping that reduced closing pressure is ben-
eficial in prolonging packer life.
c. A minimum opening pressure of 1500 psi (103.4 bars) is required for reliable
operation. The operating system will not be damaged by repeated application
of up to 3000 psi (206.8 bars) opening pressure.
2. Closing the BOP on pipe or tools
a. To close the BOP on pipe or tools, apply closing pressure while venting the open-
ing port.
b. If well fluid leaks past the packer, increase closing pressure as necessary until the
leakage stops, but do not exceed 3000 psi (206.8 bars).
c. Closing pressure must be continuously applied in order to hold the packer in the
closed position.
3. Closing the BOP on open hole
a. To close the BOP on open hole, apply the maximum available closing pressure
(not to exceed 3000 psi (206.8 bars)) while venting the opening port.

TC9598 2-84
DRILLING SYSTEMS

Every annular packer (including replacement packers)


has been tested on open hole with a wellbore pressure
of one half the rated working pressure of the BOP,
according to API 16A, latest edition. As a packer wears,
its ability to close and seal on open hole will decrease,
even though it may continue to hold full rated working
pressure when closing on pipe.

4. Opening the BOP


a. To open the BOP, apply opening pressure while venting the closing port. Open-
ing pressure must never exceed 3000 psi (206.8 bars).

Operating system control valves may develop internal


leakage. This leakage may cause either the opening
or the closing line to be pressurized when the valve
handle is set to “Neutral” or “No Pressure”. This could
result in unintended closing of the BOP. It is therefore
recommended that the control valve handle be left in
the “Open” position at all times when the operator
wishes the BOP to be open.

Cameron Engineering Bulletin EB527 documents


stripping procedures.

B. Stripping Pipe Through the Closed BOP

1. Before stripping pipe through the closed BOP, make certain the hydraulic control
system and the control piping conforms to the following requirements:
a. A nitrogen-precharged surge bottle of 10 gallon capacity
b. A pneumatically-controlled or hydraulically-controlled self-relieving pressure
regulator
c. A control valve of the non-check type.

The purpose of these items is to reduce the pressure


surge which occurs in the BOP closing chamber each
time a tool joint enters the closed packer. High pressure
surges cause excessive and unnecessary packer wear.

2. Stripping Procedure
a. Check the surge bottle precharge pressure. A 10-gal (37.9 liters) surge bottle,

TC9598 2-85
DRILLING SYSTEMS

precharged to a pressure of 300 to 400 psi (20.7-27.6 bars), will normally give
proper stripping performance with all annular sizes.
b. Open the valve between the surge bottle and the BOP closing line.
c. Vent the opening chamber by removing the pipe plug from the unused opening
port.
d. Keep the packer lubricated while stripping to prevent excessive wear. Do not
move dry pipe through the packer, except in an emergency.
e. When stripping out of the hole, leakage of well fluid (if other than dry gas) will
provide adequate lubrication.
f. When stripping into the well, apply lubricant to the pipe, and especially to the
tool joints or couplings. Suitable lubricants, in order of preference, are:
1.) Oil
2.) Oil-Base Drilling Mud
3.) Water-Base Drilling Mud
4.) Water with Gel
5.) Plain Water
g. Control the closing pressure by using the lowest practical closing pressure when
stripping.
h. Reduce the closing pressure until well fluid leaks slightly between the pipe and
the packer while the pipe is in motion. This leakage lubricates the packer, thus
reducing packer wear.
i. If the packer is closed tightly enough to eliminate all leakage, packer wear will
be greatly increased. The graph below shows the approximate closing pressure
required to seal a given bore pressure when stripping.
j. As a new packer begins to wear
during stripping, sealing is SD-10779-99

l. Observe the pressure gauge on

approaches and enters the packer.
If the drill string is moved slowly
enough, the pressure surge in the BOP closing chamber during entry of a tool

DRILLING SYSTEMS

joint should be 100 psi (13.8 bars) or less.


The faster the tool joint enters the packer, the greater will be the pressure
surge. If the pressure surge as tool joint enters the packer is greater than 100 psi
(13.8 bars), packer wear will be excessive.

VI. MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

A. Routine Maintenance

1. Preparation and Safeguards Prior to Maintenance


a. Use high-pressure water to clean mud and debris from the outside of the BOP.
b. Apply opening pressure and allow pressure to build up to regulator pressure.
Make certain that packer (item 7) is completely open.
c. Make certain all pressure is bled from both the opening and closing lines.
d. Vent operating system by removing the pipe plugs (item 35) from the unused
opening and closing ports on the BOP body (item 1).
e. Inspect the top trash seal (item 16) for damage.
f. Clean out the cavity around the head of each actuator screw (item 11).
g. Grease actuator screws (item 11).

The actuator screws should be greased before unlocking


the quick-release top. This should be done every time
the top is unlocked. This will make the screws turn more
easily and will reduce the possibility of thread galling.

2. Inspection and Change-Out of Packer and Donut (Item 7)


a. The packer (item 7) should be inspected weekly, after every pressure test, be-
tween wells, after stripping, and in the event of a packer leak.
b. The packer (item 7) should be replaced if there are vertical cracks or tears across
the full height of sealing surface. Also, if a large portion of sealing surface has
been gouged away, or if packer has been exposed to hydrogen sulfide at tem-
peratures in excess of 200º F (93.3º C), packer should be replaced.
3. Between-Well Servicing
a. Between-well servicing consists of cleaning debris from the inside of the BOP
body (item 1) and inspecting the packer and donut (item 7), followed by a test
of the packer. The quick-release top (item 2), packer and donut must be re-
moved for this cleaning and inspection.
b. Once the packer (item 7), donut (item 7) and quick-release top (item 2) have
been reinstalled, the API hydraulic test (packer test), in accordance with API RP
53, is performed. It is not necessary to open or service the operating system at
this time, as long as the specified operating fluids have been used.
4. Disassembly and Cleaning
a. Remove quick-release top (item 2).

TC9598 2-87
DRILLING SYSTEMS

b. Clean quick-release top (item 2) by using high-pressure water. Make certain the
lower surface of quick-release top, split lock ring (item 9) and actuator ring (item
10) are clean.
c. Remove, clean and inspect the top trash seal (item 16).
d. Reinstall top trash seal (item 16).
e. Inspect the seals and wiper rings on the quick-release top (item 2), and if the
quick-release top is removed, replace the lip seal (item 66) and backup ring (item
71).
f. Remove, clean and inspect packer and donut (item 7).
g. Remove the wear plate (item 40) and support plate (item 15).
h. Clean out the inside of the BOP body (item 1).
i. Clean out the vent ports with a stiff wire or rod.
j. Remove the freeze plugs (item 81) from pusher plate (item 6).
5. Reassembly
a. Check tightness of pusher plate screws (item 36) and ensure they are torqued to
190 ft-lb (258 N•m) if using a lubricant with a friction factor of 0.07, or 319 ft-lb
(432 N•m) if using a lubricant with a friction factor of 0.13.
b. Install the freeze plugs (item 81) into pusher plate (item 6) above each push
plate screw (item 36) and press in until flush with the top surface of pusher
plate.
c. Make certain outer cylinder (item 5) is fully seated.
d. Apply a light coat of grease or light machine oil to the inside of the BOP body
(item 1).
e. Lubricate the teeth of split lock ring (item 9) and lower surface of quick-release
top (item 2).
f. Install support plate (item 15) and wear plate (item 40).
g. Install donut and packer (item 7).
h. Replace and install the quick-release top ID lip seal with sealing lip facing up.
i. Install quick-release top (item 2).
j. Verify operation of the BOP and test according to API RP 53.

B. Periodic Maintenance

1. Every two years, or as required by the appropriate regulatory agency, completely


disassemble the preventer and:
a. Clean all parts. Do not use a wire brush on sealing areas.
b. Replace all rubber seals, gaskets and O-rings.
c. Replace the packer and donut according to its physical condition.
d. Repair or replace damaged metal parts.
e. After reassembly, test the packer and operating system in accordance with this
manual.

TC9598 2-88
DRILLING SYSTEMS

VII. TESTING

A. Hydraulic Systems Test

1. Install strip chart recorder and identify device.


2. Vent the open side hydraulic chamber.
3. Apply 3000 psi (206.8 bars) to the close port as follows:
a. Pump up accumulator pressure to at least 3000 psi (206.8 bars). The accumulator
volume must be at least four times the volume required to close the BOP.
b. Move control valve to close position. The closing pressure at the BOP must be up
to 3000 psi (206.8 bars) within five minutes after moving control valve to close
position. Less than five minutes would be preferable.
c. Allow pressure to stabilize. After pressure is stable, hold for 10 minutes.
4. Bleed close pressure to zero.
5. If no leak is detected, continue this test procedure. Otherwise, troubleshoot as
appropriate.
6. Vent the close side hydraulic chamber.
7. Apply 3000 psi (206.8 bars) to the open port as follows:
a. Pump up accumulator pressure to at least 3000 psi (206.8 bars). The accumulator
volume must be at least four times the volume required to open the BOP.
b. Move control valve to open position. The opening pressure at the BOP must be
up to 3000 psi (206.8 bars) within five minutes after moving control valve to
open position. Less than five minutes would be preferable.
c. Allow pressure to stabilize. After pressure is stable, hold for 10 minutes.
8. Bleed open pressure to zero.
9. If no leak is detected, this concludes hydraulic systems testing. Otherwise,
troubleshoot as appropriate.

B. Function Test - Without Pipe

Packers that have been pretested per API need not


be retested on open hole when installed in a BOP.
However, packer must be retested on the proper size
pipe mandrel to full working pressure in the preventer
in which it has been installed. Testing on open hole
could have an impact on operational life span of packer
and is not recommended once packer has been put into
field use.

C. Function Test - With Pipe

1. Install the appropriate pipe mandrel into the test stump.


a. For 9" diameter bores or less use 3.5" diameter pipe mandrel.

TC9598 2-89
DRILLING SYSTEMS

b. For 11" diameter bore or greater use 5" diameter pipe mandrel.
2. Install the strip chart recorder and identify the device.
3. Apply 1500 psi (103.4 bars) +/- 200 psi (13.8 bars) to the close port as follows:
a. Pump up the accumulator pressure to at least 2500 psi.
b. Set the regulator to provide 1500 psi (103.4 bars) +/- 200 psi (13.8 bars) closing
pressure.
c. Move the control valve to the close position. The closing pressure at the BOP
must be up to 1500 psi (103.4 bars) +/- 200 psi (13.8 bars) within five minutes af-
ter moving the control valve to the close position. Less than five minutes would
be preferable.
4. Apply 200 to 300 psi (13.8 to 20.6 bars) wellbore test pressure.
5. After a 200 to 300 psi (27.6 to 41.4 bars) wellbore test pressure has been reached
and has stabilized, hold for a period of 10 minutes.
6. Increase the wellbore pressure to full rated working pressure.
7. After full rated working pressure is reached and has stabilized, hold for a period of
10 minutes.
8. If the packer fails to hold pressure on the first test or develops a tear, discontinue
the test. A new packer must be tested.
9. Bleed bore pressure to zero psi.
10. Check the packer for 13.595" API drift within 30 minutes.
a. The 30-minute time period starts when the operating piston is fully open. This
is the time period when opening pressure builds up and can normally be deter-
mined by watching the BOP open hose.
11. If the packer fails to drift within 30 minutes:
a. Exercise the packer, (open-close cycles if required to achieve full drift). The exer-
cise cycles should be performed immediately one after the other and should not
exceed more than a total of 15 exercise cycles, including exercises performed per
Section VII-B.
b. The 30 minute drift time starts after the last packer exercise (open-close cycle).

D. Operating Cycles

Using 1500 psi (103.4 bars) operating system pressure, open/close the BOP 20 times.

E. Drift Test

Drift Diameter
Bore Size (Inch) Drift Diameter (Inch)
13-5/8 13.595

TC9598 2-90
DRILLING SYSTEMS

Drift test in 30 minutes is a requirement from API 16A


3rd Edition paragraph 8.5.8.4.2 for new equipment. The
drift test time can be affected by two critical parameters:
the ambient temperature and packer condition. When
operating in a very cold environment (temperature
below 60° F), drift time may exceed the 30 minutes to
have packer fully relaxed and the drift being able to
pass through.

1. Open the BOP using 1500 psi (103.4 bars) hydraulic pressure.
2. Drift BOP through bore with a drift of 13.595" in diameter.

F. Final Preparation Steps

1. Install check valves (item 82) into each bleed port.


2. Install the split lock ring access port plugs (item 34).

VIII. STORAGE

A. Preventer

1. If the BOP is to be stored for a period of a year or longer, the packer and donut
should be removed from the BOP and stored separately, following the packaging
and storage recommendations of Section VIII–B.
2. Clean the outside of the BOP body.
3. Disconnect the hydraulic hose at the close port and drain the operating fluid out of
the BOP.
4. Attach a hydraulic line containing only preservation fluid to the close port. Use
Marston Bentley preservation fluid, P/N 718100.
5. Disconnect the bottom open hydraulic port to allow the operating fluid to drain
out of the BOP once closing pressure is applied to the close port.
6. Apply pressure to the closing port, allowing the operating fluid to drain out of the
bottom open port. Once the fluid has completely drained, plug the open port.
7. Apply pressure to the opening port to fill the operating system with the
preservation fluid.
8. Release the pressure, disconnect the hydraulic lines, and install pipe plugs into the
open and close connections.

B. Elastomers

1. Store rubber products inside a cool, dark, dry storage.


a. The preferred storage temperature range for rubber goods is from 40° F (5° C)
to 80° F (25° C)
b. Rubber goods should be wrapped or otherwise protected from direct exposure
to sunlight or artificial light with a high ultraviolet content (such as fluorescent

TC9598 2-91
DRILLING SYSTEMS

lighting). Do not store in direct sunlight even if wrapped, as overheating will


result.
c. Store rubber parts in a relaxed position. Do not stretch or hang O-rings and
seals. Labels should not be attached to seals with string, wire, or tape, as these
items may deform the sealing surface.
2. Use airtight containers when possible to protect against circulating air.
3. Ozone is extremely harmful to rubber. Ensure that there is no equipment in the
storage area which may generate ozone, such as mercury vapor lamps, high-voltage
electrical equipment, electric motors, or any electric apparatus which produces
arcing.
4. Keep the rubber products clean and free of solvents, oil greases, or any other
semi-solid or liquid materials during storage. Rubber goods should specifically be
protected against direct contact with:
• manganese
• copper
• copper alloys (including brass)
• polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
• creosote-impregnated timber
• other rubber goods of different rubber compounds
• sulphur, and
• copper napthenate.
5. When cleaning is necessary, rubber goods may be cleaned with either soap and
water or methyl alcohol. After cleaning, the rubber goods should be dried at room
temperature.
6. Examine the part before installation.

Rubber goods taken from storage must always be


inspected before installation. Rubber goods should not
be flexed at temperatures below 40° F (5° C). Rubber
goods in storage should be inspected every 12 months to
ensure that they are still serviceable.

a. Ensure that the part does not have a tacky surface or noticeable softening or
hardening of the surface.
b. Flex the part and inspect with a magnifying glass to ensure that there are no
cracks.
c. Replace items which show any of the aging signs mentioned above.

J. Temperature Rating of Annular BOP Packers

1. API 16A 3rd Edition Temperature Rating of “XX”, 40 - 180° F (4 - 82° C)

There is no industry accepted method of establishing


BOP temperature ratings at this time. These are
estimates based on lab testing and field performance.
Temperature ratings for rubber components must
take into account the environmental exposure history,
the chemical environment while at temperature, and
other factors. Therefore, a single number rating can be
misleading if all conditions are not understood.

II. APPLICABLE OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS AND


PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

A. Packer/Donut Assembly

1. The packer is a cylinder of molded rubber combined with 16 steel reinforcing


inserts.
2. The donut is made of homogeneous molded rubber that surrounds the packer.
3. The packer inserts are flanged on the top and bottom.
4. The shape of the flanges have been designed to maintain an unbroken barrier of
steel above and below the packer rubber as the packer is closed, regardless of the
size or shape of the pipe or tool in the bore.
5. The uninterrupted barrier reduces rubber extrusion, even under high bore pressure.
6. The rubber on the ID of the packer forms a pressure tight seal against the pipe or
the tool in the BOP bore.

TC9598 2-94
DRILLING SYSTEMS

B. Hydraulic Operating System

1. The annular BOP does not depend upon wellbore pressure to close the packer.
2. Closing pressure must be maintained to the operating system to hold the packer in
the closed position.
3. This independence of wellbore pressure gives the operator control of the rubber
pressure on the pipe, reduces packer extrusion, and can significantly increase
packer life when the BOP is used for stripping.

C. Closing the Annular BOP

1. Hydraulic fluid is pumped into the closing chamber to force the piston and the
pusher plate upward against the donut.
2. The pusher plate squeezes the donut, forcing the donut to expand inward.
3. The inward displacement of the donut forces the packer inward toward the center
of the bore.

D. Opening the Annular BOP

1. Hydraulic fluid is pumped into the opening chamber to force the piston and pusher
plate downward.
2. As the pusher plate is withdrawn, the donut returns to its relaxed shape, allowing
the packer to return to its fully open position.

III. DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE

A. Part Preparation Prior to Disassembly

The work area should be clean and well-lit.

B. BOP Disassembly

1. Clean the outside of the BOP body (item 1). Use high pressure water and detergent
to clean mud and debris from the outside of the BOP.
2. Make sure the BOP is fully open. Apply opening pressure and allow pressure to
build up to the regulator pressure. Make sure that the packer is completely open.
3. Remove and bleed all operating pressure.
4. Vent the operating system. Remove the plugs from the unused open and close
ports on the BOP body. This will eliminate the possibility of accidental operation of
the BOP once the top is unbolted.
5. Remove the heavy hex nuts (item 45) from the top.
6. Attach the appropriate size lifting shackles to the pad eyes on the side of the top.
Attach lifting chains to the shackles, and lift the bolt on top vertically off the BOP
body. If the top is pulled at an angle instead of straight out, it may bind with the
BOP body.

TC9598 2-95
DRILLING SYSTEMS

The donut (item 7) and packer (item 8) may hang in the


top as it is lifted out of the BOP body, and then fall from
the top.

If the donut (item 7) and packer (item 8) hangs in the


top, lower the top to the floor, then insert a pry bar
through the bore FROM ABOVE and pry the donut and
packer loose.

7. Set the top (item 2) down on a flat, clean wood surface.


8. Remove and inspect the top ID (item 65) seal ring.

To remove seals use a dull tool, such as a screwdriver


blade with the sharp edges removed. Insert the tool
under the seal at one point, and carefully stretch the
seal out of the groove by pulling the tool around the
entire circumference of the groove. A sharp tool may
damage the seal or the seal groove.

9. Install eye bolts in the tapped holes in the top of the packer, attach lifting chains,
and lift the packer out of the BOP body. If the donut does not come out with the
packer, use a pry bar to lift the donut in order to get a lifting strap around it.
10. Install eye bolts in the tapped holes in the support plate (item 15) and remove it
from the BOP.
11. Remove the socket head cap screws (item 36) from the pusher plate (item 6) and
piston (item 3).
12. Install lifting eyes into the pusher plate (item 6) and remove it from the BOP.
13. Use an air wrench to remove the inner cylinder nuts (item 31) from the inner
cylinder (item 4). The inner cylinder studs (item 30) can be removed now or after
the inner cylinder has been removed.
14. Install lifting eyes into the tapped holes in the top of the inner cylinder (item 4).
Attach lifting chains and lift it out of the BOP body (item 1).
15. Remove the socket head cap screws (item 37) from the outer ring (item 5) and lift
the outer ring out of the body.
16. Install lifting eyes into the tapped holes in the top of the piston (item 3). Attach
lifting chains and lift it out of the BOP body (item 1).
17. Inspect the bearing rings, seals and wiper rings of each component.

TC9598 2-96
DRILLING SYSTEMS

IV. ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE

A. Part Preparation Prior to Assembly

The work area should be clean and well-lit.


1. Remove all dirt, grit, oil, and contaminants from the ID sealing surfaces of the body
and all fluid passageways. Clean detergent and fresh water should be used for
cleaning. High pressure air may also be used if it is dry air.
2. Clean the piston (item 3), the inner cylinder (item 4) and the top (item 2) using
clean detergent and fresh water. Lubricate areas that will come in contact with
other parts.
3. Clean all other components that may need attention, such as studs, nuts, and cap
screws.
4. Sealed elastomer containers should not be opened until they are required for
assembly in order to prevent contamination and damage to the seals.

B. Assembly of the BOP

1. Place the top (item 2) on a pallet with the studded connection holes looking up.
2. Using lifting chains, raise the top and install the top ID seal ring (item 65) and the
bearing ring (item 51).

Do not lubricate seals or seal grooves with grease.


The use of light weight oil (or STPTM Oil Treatment) is
recommended.

TC9598 2-97
DRILLING SYSTEMS

D. Assembly of the Inner Cylinder Studs in the Body

Install the inner cylinder studs (item 30) in the body (item 1). Make sure the studs are
fully threaded into the body. DO NOT apply a thread lubricant to the threads. This will
help keep the studs from rotating the next time the nuts are removed. See the torque
requirements listed in Section I.

E. Assembly of the Piston in the Body

1. Apply a light coat of light weight oil to the OD seals of the piston and to the inner
seal surface of the body.
2. Lower the piston (item 3) into the body (item 1).

F. Assembly of the Inner Cylinder in the Body

1. Apply a light coat of light weight oil to the inner seal surface of the piston, to the
ID seals of the piston, and to the ID seals of the inner cylinder.
2. Keep the inner cylinder level, and make sure the seals do not slip out of the grooves
and become pinched or cut as the inner cylinder slides against the piston and body.
3. Slowly lower the inner cylinder (item 4) into the body (item 1) using the inner
cylinder studs (item 30) as alignment guides. Avoid damaging the stud threads.
4. The weight of the inner cylinder should be sufficient to seat it, if not then the
installation of the inner cylinder nuts (item 31) will seat it. See next step.
5. Screw the inner cylinder nuts (item 31) onto the studs (item 30). Apply a thread
lubricant to the nut threads before installation. See the torque requirements and
thread lubricant recommendations listed in Section I.

G. Assembly of the Outer Ring in the Body

1. Apply a light coat of light oil to the inner seal surface of the body (item 1).
2. Place the backup ring (item 57) in the body ID groove. Gently tap the backup ring
in the cavity with a blunt soft tool, such as a piece of wood. For best results, install
a portion of the ring in the groove on one side then move 180° to the other side.
Continue this procedure until the backup ring has bottomed out in its cavity.
3. Place the body ID seal ring (item 65) on top of the previously installed backup ring
(item 57). Gently tap the seal in the cavity with a blunt soft tool, such as a piece of
wood. For best results, install a portion of the seal in the groove on one side then
move 180° to the other side. Continue this procedure until the seal has bottomed
out in its cavity.
4. Lower the outer ring (item 5) down onto the body (item 1) and secure with
socket head cap screws (item 37). Apply a thread lubricant to the threads before
installation. See the torque requirements and thread lubricant recommendations
listed in Section I.

H. Assembly of the Pusher Plate onto the Operating System

1. Lower the pusher plate (item 6) onto the top of the piston (item 3).
2. Install the socket head cap screws (item 36) into the aligned holes of the pusher
plate and piston. Apply a thread lubricant to the threads before installation. See
the torque requirements and thread lubricant recommendations listed in Section I.
TC9598 2-98
DRILLING SYSTEMS

3. Lower the support plate (item 15) into place inside the pusher plate (item 6). Make
certain the recesses in the underside of the support plate fit down over the inner
cylinder studs (item 30). The support plate should rest evenly on the inner cylinder
nuts (item 31).
4. Fully seat all pusher plate screws (item 36) and tighten to 190 ft-lb (258 N•m) if
using a lubricant with a friction factor of 0.07 or 319 ft-lb (432 N•m) if using a
lubricant with a friction factor of 0.13.

I. Assembly of the Body OD Studs

Install the studs (item 44) in the OD of the body (item 1). Make sure the studs are fully
threaded into the body. DO NOT apply a thread lubricant to the threads. This will
help keep the studs from rotating the next time the nuts are removed. See the torque
requirements listed in Section I.

J. Final Assembly

1. Lubricate the donut (item 7) with a light coat of grease. Make certain the donut is
installed top side up. The word “TOP” is molded into the rubber. Use a fabric sling
when lifting the donut.

V. OPERATION PROCEDURES

A. Normal Operation

1. Operating Pressure – General Recommendations


a. A minimum closing pressure of 1500 psi is required to close and seal the BOP
on pipe. Higher closing pressures (up to the rated working pressure of 2000 psi)
may be necessary, depending upon packer condition, pipe size, and ambient
temperature.
b. Closing pressure should never be reduced below 1500 psi, except when strip-
ping. It is only during stripping that reduced closing pressure is beneficial in
prolonging packer life.
c. A minimum opening pressure of 1500 psi is required for reliable operation.
Cameron recommends operating and testing with closing pressures of 1500 psi,
unless conditions warrant the need for higher closing pressures (not to exceed
2000 psi).
2. Closing the BOP on pipe or tools
a. To close the BOP on pipe or tools, apply closing pressure while venting the open-
ing port.
b. If well fluid leaks past the packer, increase closing pressure as necessary until the
leakage stops, but do not exceed 2000 psi.
c. Closing pressure must be continuously applied in order to hold the packer in the
closed position.
3. Closing the BOP on open hole
a. To close the BOP on open hole, apply the maximum available closing pressure
(not to exceed 2000 psi) while venting the opening port.

TC9598 2-99
DRILLING SYSTEMS

Every annular packer (including replacement packers)


has been tested on open hole with a wellbore pressure
of one half the rated working pressure of the BOP,
according to API 16A, 1st Edition. As a packer wears,
its ability to close and seal on open hole will decrease,
even though it may continue to hold full rated working
pressure when closing on pipe.

4. Opening the BOP


a. To open the BOP, apply opening pressure while venting the closing port. Open-
ing pressure must never exceed 2000 psi.

Operating system control valves may develop internal


leakage. This leakage may cause either the opening
or the closing line to be pressurized when the valve
handle is set to “Neutral” or “No Pressure”. This could
result in unintended closing of the BOP. It is therefore
recommended that the control valve handle be left in
the “Open” position at all times when the operator
wishes the BOP to be open.

B. Stripping Pipe Through the Closed BOP

1. Before stripping pipe through the closed BOP, make certain the hydraulic control
system and the control piping conforms to the following requirements:
a. A nitrogen-precharged surge bottle should be connected as closely and as direct-
ly as possible to the closing port of the BOP operating system. A 10-gallon surge
bottle, precharged to a pressure of 400 to 500 psi will normally give proper strip-
ping performance with all sizes of the Cameron D BOP. For subsea BOP installa-
tions, the precharge in the surge bottle should be increased approximately 40 to
50 psi for every 100 feet of depth beneath the surface. The surge bottle should
conform to the requirements of API RP 53, and should be rated for a minimum
of 3000 psi working pressure. (Reference Cameron EB527D.)
b. A pneumatically-controlled or hydraulically-controlled self-relieving pressure
regulator.
c. A control valve of the non-check type.

The purpose of these items is to reduce the pressure


surge which occurs in the BOP closing chamber each
time a tool joint enters the closed packer. High pressure
surges cause excessive and unnecessary packer wear.

TC9598 2-100
DRILLING SYSTEMS

2. Stripping Procedure
a. Check the surge bottle precharge pressure. A 10 gallon surge bottle, precharged
to a pressure of 400 to 500 psi, will normally give proper stripping performance
with all annular sizes.
b. Open the valve between the surge bottle and the BOP closing line.
c. Keep the packer lubricated while stripping to prevent excessive wear. Do not
move dry pipe through the packer, except in an emergency.
d. When stripping out of the hole, leakage of well fluid (if other than dry gas) will
provide adequate lubrication.
e. When stripping into the well, apply lubricant to the pipe, and especially to the
tool joints or couplings. Suitable lubricants, in order of preference, are:
1.) oil
2.) oil-base drilling mud
3.) water-base drilling mud
4.) water with gel
5.) plain water
f. Control the closing pressure by using the lowest practical closing pressure when
stripping.
g. Reduce the closing pressure until well fluid leaks slightly between the pipe and
the packer while the pipe is in motion. This leakage lubricates the packer, thus
reducing packer wear.
h. If the packer is closed tightly enough to eliminate all leakage, packer wear will
be greatly increased.
i. As a new packer begins to wear during stripping, sealing is improved, and the
closing pressure required to seal on pipe will decrease. For this reason, closing
pressure should be reduced as often as is necessary to maintain slight leakage
for lubrication of the packer.
j. When the packer has become severely worn during stripping, leakage will begin
to increase. When leakage cannot be controlled by increasing the closing pres-
sure, the packer is nearly worn out, and arrangements should be made to re-
place the packer.
k. Observe the pressure gauge on the BOP closing port as a tool joint approaches
and enters the packer. If the drill string is moved slowly enough, the pressure
surge in the BOP closing chamber during entry of a tool joint should be 100 psi
or less.
l. The faster the tool joint enters the packer, the greater the pressure surge. If
the pressure surge as tool joint enters the packer is greater than 100 psi, packer
wear will be excessive.

VI. MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

A. Routine Maintenance

1. Preparation and Safeguards Prior to Maintenance


a. Use high-pressure water to clean mud and debris from the outside of the BOP.
b. Apply opening pressure, and allow pressure to build up to the regulator pres-
sure. Make certain that the packer is completely open.
c. Make certain all pressure is bled from the opening and closing lines.
d. Vent the operating system by removing the plugs from the unused opening and
closing ports on the BOP body.
e. Inspect bolt on top studs and nuts for damage.
2. Inspection and Changeout of the Packer and Donut
a. The packer should be inspected weekly, after every pressure test, between wells,
after stripping, and in the event of a packer leak.
b. The packer should be replaced if there are vertical cracks or tears across the full
height of the sealing surface. Also, if a large portion of the sealing surface has
been gouged away, or if the packer has been exposed to hydrogen sulfide at
temperatures in excess of 200° F, the packer should be replaced.
3. Between-Well Servicing
a. Between-well servicing consists of cleaning debris from the inside of the BOP
body and inspecting the packer and donut, followed by a test of the packer. The
top, the packer, and the donut must be removed for this cleaning and inspec-
tion.
b. Once the packer, the donut, and the top have been reinstalled, the API Hydrau-
lic Test (Packer Test) in accordance with API RP 53 is performed. It is not neces-
sary to open or service the operating system at this time, as long as the specified
operating fluids have been used.
4. Disassembly and Cleaning
a. Remove the top.
b. Clean the top by using high-pressure water. Make certain the lower surface of
the top, the lock ring, and the actuator are clean.
c. Inspect the seals and wiper rings on quick-release top (item 2), and if the quick-
release top is removed, replace the lip seal (item 66) and backup ring (item 71).
d. Remove, clean and inspect the packer and donut.
e. Remove the support plate.
f. Clean out the inside of the BOP body.
g. Clean out the vent ports with a stiff wire or rod.
5. Reassembly
a. Check tightness of pusher plate screws.
b. Install the support plate.
c. Install the donut and packer.
d. Replace and install the top ID lip seal with the sealing lip facing up.
TC9598 2-102
DRILLING SYSTEMS

e. Install the top.


f. Verify operation of the BOP and test the packer according to API RP 53.

B. Periodic Maintenance

1. Every two years, or as required by the appropriate regulatory agency, completely


disassemble the preventer and:
a. Clean all parts. Do not use a wire brush on sealing areas.
b. Replace all rubber seals, gaskets and O-rings.
c. Replace the packer and donut according to its physical condition.
d. Repair or replace damaged metal parts.
e. After reassembly, test the packer and operating system in accordance with this
manual.

VII. TESTING

A. Function Test – Without Pipe

1. Remove the top and install the packer and donut.


2. Install the top.
3. Install the strip chart recorder and identify the device.
4. Apply 2000 psi to the close port, as follows:
a. Pump up the control system accumulator to 2000 psi. The accumulator volume
must be at least four times the volume required to close the BOP.
b. Move the control valve to the close position. The pump should be set to start
when the accumulator pressure drops. The pump size must be sufficient to pro-
vide 2000 psi at the BOP within five minutes after the valve is operated to close
the BOP. Experience in testing BOPs has shown that a 50 horsepower triplex
pump and three 80-gallon accumulators will be sufficient to provide these test
conditions. However, any system capable of the performance indicated here
above is acceptable.
5. Inspect the packer to ensure that it has complete open hole closure.
6. Exercise the packer if necessary to fully close on the open hole. The exercise cycles
should be performed immediately one after the other and should be a maximum of
ten minutes apart, preferably less than ten minutes.
7. Apply 200 psi wellbore test pressure.
8. After a minimum of 200 psi wellbore test pressure has been reached and has
stabilized, hold for a period of three minutes.
9. Increase the wellbore test pressure to one half full rated working pressure.
10. After one half of full rated working pressure has been reached and has stabilized,
hold for a minimum of three minutes.
11. In no case should operating pressure greater than 2000 psi be used to close or open
the BOP.
12. If the packer does not hold one half full rated working pressure, open and close the
packer once more and repeat steps 6 through 12.
TC9598 2-103
DRILLING SYSTEMS

13. Bleed the bore pressure to zero psi.

B. Function Test - With Pipe

This test will be performed two times, with Section VII-C


being performed in between each test.

1. Install 5" pipe mandrel into the test stump.


2. Install the strip chart recorder and identify the device.
3. Apply 1500 psi +/- 200 psi to the close port.
4. Apply 200 psi wellbore test pressure.
5. After a minimum of 200 psi wellbore test pressure has been reached and has
stabilized, hold for a period of three minutes.
6. Increase the wellbore pressure to full rated working pressure.
7. After full rated working pressure is reached and has stabilized, hold for a minimum
of three minutes.
8. Bleed bore pressure to zero psi.
9. Check the packer for 21.220" API drift within 30 minutes.
a. The 30-minute time period starts when the operating piston is fully open. This
is the time period when opening pressure builds up and can normally be deter-
mined by watching the BOP open hose.
b. The packer can be drifted outside the BOP as long as the drifting is done within
the 30-minute period in a. If it takes more than 30 minutes after the piston is
fully open to remove the packer and drift it, the drift must be performed with
the packer in the BOP.

C. Operating Cycles

Using 1500 psi operating system pressure, open/close the BOP 20 times.

D. Drift Test

Drift Diameter
Bore Size Inch Drift Diameter Inch
21-1/4 21.220

1. Open the BOP using 1500 psi hydraulic pressure.


2. Drift BOP through bore with a drift of 21.220" in diameter.

TC9598 2-104
DRILLING SYSTEMS

VIII. STORAGE

A. Preventer

1. If the BOP is to be stored for a period of a year or longer, the packer and donut
should be removed from the BOP and stored separately, following the packaging
and storage recommendations of Section VIII-B.
2. Clean the outside of the BOP body.
3. Disconnect the hydraulic hose at the close port and drain the operating fluid out of
the BOP.
4. Attach a hydraulic line containing only preservation fluid to the close port. Use
Marston Bentley Preservation Fluid, P/N 718100.
5. Disconnect the bottom open hydraulic port to allow the operating fluid to drain
out of the BOP once closing pressure is applied to the close port.
6. Apply pressure to the closing port, allowing the operating fluid to drain out of the
bottom open port. Once the fluid has completely drained, plug the open port.
7. Apply pressure to the opening port to fill the operating system with the
preservation fluid.
8. Release the pressure, disconnect the hydraulic lines, and install pipe plugs into the
open and close connections.

B. Elastomers

1. Store rubber products inside a cool, dark and dry storage area.
a. The preferred storage temperature range for rubber goods is from 40° F (5° C)
to 80° F (25° C).
b. Rubber goods should be wrapped or otherwise protected from direct exposure
to sunlight or artificial light with a high ultraviolet content (such as fluorescent
lighting). Do not store in direct sunlight even if wrapped, as overheating will
result.
c. Store rubber parts in a relaxed position. Do not stretch or hang O-rings and
seals. Labels should not be attached to seals with string, wire, or tape, as these
items may deform the sealing surface.
2. Use airtight containers when possible to protect against circulating air.
3. Ozone is extremely harmful to rubber. Ensure that there is no equipment in the
storage area that may generate ozone, such as mercury vapor lamps, high-voltage
electrical equipment, electric motors, or any electric apparatus which produces
arcing.
4. Keep the rubber products clean and free of solvents, oil greases, or any other
semi-solid or liquid materials during storage. Rubber goods should specifically be
protected against direct contact with manganese; copper; copper alloys (including
brass), polyvinyl chloride (PVC); creosote-impregnated timber; other rubber goods
of different rubber compounds; sulphur; and copper napthenate.

TC9598 2-105
DRILLING SYSTEMS

5. When cleaning is necessary, rubber goods may be cleaned with either soap and
water or methyl alcohol. After cleaning, the rubber goods should be dried at room
temperature.
6. Examine the part before installation.

Rubber goods taken from storage must always be


inspected before installation. Rubber goods should not
be flexed at temperatures below 40° F (5° C). Rubber
goods in storage should be inspected every 12 months to
ensure that they still are serviceable.

a. Ensure that the part does not have a tacky surface or noticeable softening or
hardening of the surface.
b. Flex the part and inspect with a magnifying glass to ensure that there are no
cracks.
c. Replace items that show any of the aging signs mentioned above.

I. FEATURES AND BENEFITS

The CAMERON U Blowout Preventer is the most widely used ram-type BOP for land and
platform applications worldwide and offers the widest range of sizes of any CAMERON ram-
type BOP.
Like other CAMERON preventers, the rams in the U BOP are pressure energized; wellbore
pressure acts on the ram to increase the sealing force and to maintain the seal in the event of
hydraulic pressure loss. Seal integrity is actually improved by increased wellbore pressure.

Other features of U BOP:

• Available in a wide variety of sizes, working pressure, body configurations, end connec-
tions and side outlets, and with rams to suit a large amount of requirements.

• Side outlets up to 4-1/16 (for 7-1/16 to 26-3/4 BOPs) can be provided. Side outlets can be
studded, flange or hub.

• Flanges conform to API standard 6A. Hubs conform to API 16A.

• Hydraulic bonnet open/close provides quick ram change-out.

• Metal-reinforced bonnet seal to ensure a tight seal and resist extrusion is standard.

• Bonnet seal carrier is available to eliminate the need for high make-up torque on the
bonnet bolts.

• Manually or hydraulically operated locking system.

• Large bore shear bonnets and tandem boosters are available for applications requiring
increased shear force.

• A wide selection of rams to meet all applications.

• Manufactured to comply with NACE MR-01-75 requirements.

• Can be monogrammed to API 16A.

Worst weight case configuration (with tandem booster


and hydraulic lock) has been considered to determine
necessity or not to support the bonnet.

To set up support bonnet tool on U BOP, additional machining is required on body and
intermediate flange:
• Additional machining is possible on close die and open die BOP body styles.
• Contact your Cameron representative for information about bonnet tool setup.

VII. HYDRAULIC CONTROL SYSTEM (REF. EB 798D)


The U blowout preventer is designed so that hydraulic pressure opens and closes the rams and
provides the means for quick ram change-out.
Ram closing pressure closes the rams. When the bonnet bolts are removed, closing pressure
opens the bonnet. After the bonnet has moved to the fully extended position, the ram is
clear from the body. An eyebolt can be installed in the top of each ram to lift it out of the
preventer.
Ram opening pressure opens the rams. Following ram change-out, this pressure closes the
bonnets. The rams are pulled outward, near the bonnets before the bonnets begin moving
toward the preventer body. This assures that the rams never obstruct the bore or interfere
with the pipe in the hole. Hydraulic pressure draws the bonnets tightly against the preventer
body and the bonnet bolts are reinstalled to hold bonnets closed.
For more information about pressure requirements and operating fluids see EB-196D.
Quantities of hydraulic fluid needed and sequences are given in following table and sketches.

For all sizes/pressures U BOP, the operating ports sizes (Open


and Close) are 1”-11-1/2 NPT.

IX. SEALING TECHNOLOGY

A. Bonnet Seal and Connecting Rod Seal

Standard U BOPs are supplied with bonnet seal - a metal-reinforced elastomeric seal
gasket which seals between the body and intermediate flange and connecting rod seal (a
lip seal made from oil resistant nitrile).
When high temperature and/or high concentrations of H2S are expected, CAMERON
recommends the use of CAMLAST bonnet and connecting rod seals along with CAMRAM
350 packers and top seals.

B. Bonnet Seal Carrier

The bonnet seal carrier is a bore-type sealing assembly which replaces the face seal used
as the previous bonnet seal.
The standard bonnet seal can be replaced by an optional seal carrier; thanks to this
option, sealing capability is not dependent upon bonnet bolt torque. One seal is captured
in a machined bore in the BOP body while the other seal is captured in a machined bore
in intermediate flange.
The seal carrier was designed, developed and performance-verified for use in newly
manufactured BOPs or as a replacement seal assembly for BOPs where either the BOP
body or the intermediate flange requires weld repair on the sealing surfaces.
To set up seal carrier on existing equipment, additional machining is required on body
and intermediate flange.
Seals used on seal carrier are made from CAMLAST material good for high temperature
and/or high concentration of H2S.

D. Sealing Improvements

In order to improve reliability and


durability of our sealing parts, O-ring
items 30 and 33 of piston ram change
have been replaced by four lobes
rings.
O-Rings historically used on ram
change pistons are subjected to high
speed linear motion, and under poor
lubricated conditions may roll.
O-Rings have been replaced by quad
rings giving more stability and less
purposed to twist.
Both seals are using exactly
same groove and are perfectly
interchangeable.

E. Emergency Backup

In case of the primary con-rod seal leaks


(leak detected at the vent port on lower
side of intermediate flange), a secondary
seal can be energized by injection of
plastic packing through the injection port
on upper side of the intermediate flange.
To energize the secondary seal of
connecting rod:
1. Remove with care plug (17)
and plastic packing screw (16).
Be careful as small amount of
fluid under pressure may have
migrated through the seal and the
check valve and may be trapped
underneath the plugs.
2. Check if stick of plastic packing is
already in injection hole. If not,
cut plastic packing to length A Figure 29: Plastic Packing Components Injection

B. Hydraulic Lock

1. Wedgelock Features and Benefits


The U BOP wedgelock is a hydraulically locking mechanism. It locks the ram
hydraulically and holds the ram mechanically closed even when actuating pressure
is released. The operating system can be interlocked using sequence valve to ensure
that the wedgelock is retracted before pressure is applied to open the BOP.

The existing wedgelocks are originally designed for


operations with pipe/blind/shear rams.

Utilization of wedgelock with Variable Bore Ram (VBR)


and flexpacker ram has limitation (see EB-896D).

With unlock sequencing valve:


When an unlock sequencing valve is used, it’s installed instead of lock cap. In this
case, the wedgelock unlock chamber is connected with the bonnet open chamber
through the sequencing valve.
Sequencing valve function is to secure opening operation only when full unlock
position is achieved.
To ensure a correct functionality, a plug must be installed at the end of the open
piston ram change (each bonnet) and also on body open port.
For information about piping with sequencing valve, refer to SK-120115-01.

2. Inserted Packer Rams


The Cameron inserted packer for stripping/snubbing service is designed with a field
replaceable, wear-resistant, non-rotating insert block. The insert block is fabricated
from a specially formulated ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHHMW-
PE) which extends service life. The insert block is designed to be self-locking in the
packer and should not require screws or other fasteners to hold it in place. The
Cameron design eliminates the major causes of failure for inserted packers using
semicircular inserts held in place with screws, including rapid insert wear out and
inserts rotation resulting in permanent packer damage.

B. VBR Rams

1. VBR Ram Details


The Variable Bore Ram (VBR) enables a standard U BOP to seal on several different
pipe diameters. VBR are available on several sizes ranges. All rams listed are
suitable for H2S service per NACE MR-01-75. The VBR seals on a range of drill pipe
sizes as well as hexagonal kellys and provides uniform sealing pressure with virtual
elimination of extrusion paths.
The mechanism of
closure of the VBR
packer is similar to
standard pipe ram
packers. The packers
extend forward of the
ram body faces when
the rams are closed,
the packers contact
each other on the
leading surfaces at the
sides of the pipe bore.
As the ram continues
to close, the rubber in the packers Figure 58: VBR Ram Assembly
is displaced inward to close the
packers around the pipe.

Possible to change item 2 in assembly with flexpacker or


NR flexpacker.

3. Hangoff Capacities (Ref. EB 859D)


Should it become necessary, or in the event of an emergency, drill pipe may be
hung on closed and locked rams. Before hanging the pipe, the rams should be
closed with the maximum available hydraulic pressure up to 3000 psi, then “locked-
in” with the appropriate locking device as determined by the BOP configuration.

C. Flexpacker Rams

1. Standard Flexpacker Rams


The Flexpacker is a multi-bore sealing device that uses radially moving, stacked anti-
extrusion segments to retain wellbore pressure. Each layer of segment is machined
to fit a specific pipe size within the sealing range, while the packer top plate is
cut to match the diameter of the largest pipe size. As different sizes of pipe are
introduced into the sealing bore, the segments align to fit closely around the pipe
and reduce the extrusion gap to a minimum.

Cameron flex rams included the following features:


• The flexpacker requires little or no break-in and will seal on the first closure
under typical operating conditions.
• The anti-extrusion segments are positively retained in the packer by means of
pins running vertically through the segments.
• Guidance and alignments of pipe into the sealing bore is aided by chamfers on
the leading corners of the anti-extrusion segments.

2. NR (Narrow Range) Flexpacker Rams


The NR Flexpacker is a narrow range VBR packer designed for use with tapered drill
strings. The Flexpacker NR fits standard fixed bore CAMERON rams. The Flexpacker
NR seals around a range of specified pipe sizes to provide economical sealing
capabilities at a fraction of the cost of traditional range packers.
The patent Flexpacker NR design features metal inserts bonded into the elastomer
which move radially as BOP rams close. As the ram energizes, the set of metal
inserts matching the size of pipe in the bore is forced against the pipe. This design
virtually eliminates elastomer extrusion and ensures uniform distribution of
pressure around the pipe. Maximum service life is achieved at the extremes of the
specified size range for this ram packer.
The NR Flexpacker is available to fit standard pipe rams for U BOPs (Ref. EB859D).

2. Shearing Blind Rams (SBR)


Standard SBRs are “single piece” shear rams with the blades integral to the ram
body. The upper SBR features a ‘V’ shaped cutting edge while the lower SBR as a
straight cutting edge. The upper SBR houses a large blade packer which seals on
the front surface of the lower SBR blade.
Under normal operating conditions, SBRs are used as blind rams. The large front
packer in the upper shear ram seals against the front face of the lower shear
ram, resulting in prolonged packer life similar to that of standard blind packers.
Features of SBRs include:
• Large frontal area on the blade face seal that reduces pressure on the rubber
and increases service life;
• CAMRAM™ top seals that are standard for all U SBRs; and
• Cameron SBR’s, both inserted and integral blades, that meet the H2S
requirements of both API 16A and NACE MR-01-75. Sulfide stress cracking
susceptible materials are used for the blades; however, the main bodies of the
SBRs are made of sulfide stress cracking resistant materials.
Shearing action: Upon completion of shearing, the lower fish is folded over and
flattened to allow the front surface of the lower blade to seal against a blade
packer.

3. H2S Shearing Blind Rams (SBR)


H2S SBRs are similar in design to the standard SBRs type I with the exception of
the shear blades. H2S SBRs feature blade inserts of hardened high allow material
suitable for H2S service.
Cameron H2S SBRs are fully compliant with NACE MR-01-75 and API 16A. Therefore,
they are acceptable for use in severe H2S environments. In addition, they have a
long and successfully history of performance in oil well drilling.

4. Double Shear Rams (DS)


DS shear rams were developed to shear multiple tubing strings regardless of their
orientation to the centerline of the ram bore. In addition to this capability, the DS
shear rams can shear larger diameter tubular than the standard SBRs due to the
increased blade width and thickness. Efficient shear blade geometry on both the
upper and lower rams serves to reduce the required shearing force.
The DS shear rams include the same features than shearing blind ram but they
can shear heavier, larger pipe and are better suited for shearing multiple strings
compare to the SBR for three main reasons:
• The blades are wider, covering more of the through bore;
• The fold-over shoulder has been eliminated by placing the blade seal
between the blades; and
• Both blades have an efficient ‘V’ shape.
While these features increase shearing capability, they reduce performance of the
DS as a blind ram. The wider blade dictates narrower side packers, and the seal
between the blades cannot be energized directly by ram closure. This must be
accomplished by feeding rubber from the side packers into the blade seal slot. This
means that the sealing system of the DS is less robust than one SBR and the packer
service life is shorter.
Shearing action: Upon completion of shearing, the lower fish is housed in a vertical
pocket while the blade face seal provides a seal between the horizontal faces of the
upper and lower blades.

5. Double Shear Interlocking Rams (DSI)


DSI Shear Rams are similar in design to the standard DS shear rams except for the
interlocking feature of the rams. Pockets in the lower ram and arms on the upper
are used to prevent any vertical separation between the lower and upper blades.
The interlocking feature provides the capability to shear wireline and braided cable
with zero tension in the line and still maintain a seal. In doing this, some of the
blade width is lost, thus losing the ability to shear larger diameter pipe and casing.

Shearing action: Same as the DS rams except that when the rams first engage, any
separation between the blades is eliminated.

6. Interlocking Shear Rams (ISR)

The interlocking shear ram (ISR) is available for the U BOP. The ISR rams provide
an improved shearing capacity alternative to the standard SBR rams. Since the
geometry of the ISR ram incorporates a “V” shape and is designed as wide as
possible, it can shear multiple strings and drill pipe as large as 6-5/8” OD. Also, ISR
rams do not have to fold over the lower fish. This mean less force is required to
shear and, by leaving the fish open, kill mud can be pumped down the severed drill
strings. The interlocking mechanism incorporated in the ISR means these rams can
be used in an oversized cavity without fear of a leak at low wellbore pressure.

7. Double ‘V’ Shear Rams (DVS)


DVS Rams combine the features of the SBR and DS rams into one shear ram. Both
the upper and lower DVS rams feature are ‘V’ shaped cutting edge to reduce the
required shear force. The blade widths are maximized to increase the shearing
capabilities. The upper DVS houses a large blade packer which seals on the front
edge of the lower DVS blade.

Shearing action: upon completion of shearing, the lower fish is folded over and
flattened to allow the leading edge of the lower blade to seal against a blade
packer.

4. Recommended hydraulic fluid (Ref. EB 196D and EB 928D):


Light hydraulic oil is the recommended operating fluid for U BOPs used in land
drilling operations. Any type is satisfactory except fuel oil, which causes rubber seals
to swell and deteriorate.
In marine operations, a water and lubricant mixture is recommended. Water can
be used in land operations, provided lubricant is added to prevent corrosion and
provide lubrication, and antifreeze is added when necessary.
Should an emergency require the use of corrosive or contaminated fluid to operate
a BOP, the BOP should be torn down, thoroughly cleaned, and all seals should be
carefully checked for excessive wear or corrosion as soon as is practical thereafter.
The control unit pump suction should have a strainer to keep sediment out of the
operating system, and the control unit reservoir should be flushed and cleaned
periodically.

8. Hydraulic operating system requirements:


The rated continuous working pressure for the U BOP operating system is 1500 psi
(100 bars).
Pressures of 300 to 500 psi (20 to 40 bars) normally provide satisfactory operation.
Pressures in excess of 1500 psi may be required in high pressure BOPs to close the
rams against high well pressures or shear heavy pipes.
For optimum seal life, the applied hydraulic pressure should be limited to 1500 psi,
especially when open pressure is required to be held continuously.
Accumulator units should be fitted with a pressure regulator to control the pressure
applied to a BOP.
Refer to section VII for fluid volume requirements.
The maximum hydraulic operating pressure limit is 3000 psi (207 bars) to operate
rams.

B. Disassembly Procedure

The work area should be clean and well-lit.

The work area should be clean and well-lit.


1. Remove all dirt, grit, and oil from the ram bore, ram change piston holes (9 and 10),
bonnet stud holes (3), all fluid passageways in the body, and intermediate flange
(2). High pressure dry air may also be used. Inspect parts for burrs or sharp edges
before assembly.
2. Clean all internal surfaces of parts using clean water and detergent.
3. Lubricate all sealing surfaces and contact face.
4. Lubricate all seals/O-rings with light-weight oil or a light coating of silicone grease
prior to installation.

DO NOT use solvents or fuel oil to clean rubber goods.

Sealed elastomer containers should not be opened until


they are required for assembly to prevent contamination
and damage to the seal.

D. Assembly Procedure

BONNET ASSEMBLY
1.) Place bonnet (3) on assembly table with the piston bores vertical face
upward. Install O-ring (28) in the small diameter groove of the center bore
in the bonnet (3). Install seal ring (27) on the large diameter groove in the
center bore in the bonnet (3) with the lips of the seal ring (27) facing up,
toward the interior of the bonnet.

TC1403 104
DRILLING SYSTEMS

2.) Install O-rings (24) in the two grooves on the exterior of the operating
cylinder (6). Insert the operating cylinder (6) small diameter first into the
center bore of the bonnet (3). Gently push until each one is seated. Use a
soft-face hammer, if necessary, to seat the cylinder in the bonnet.

Large bore bonnets do not have separate operating


cylinders. O-ring (item 24) will be installed on
intermediate flange.

3.) Install O-rings (31 and 32) on the ram change cylinders (11). Insert the ram
change cylinders (11) into the bonnet (3), starting with the end opposite
the O-ring. Gently push until each one is seated. Use a soft-face hammer, if
necessary, to seat the cylinder in the bonnet.

Keep hands away from the ram change cylinders while


they are being inserted into the bonnet. The cylinder
will seat against the shoulder of the counter-bore in the
bonnet.

4.) Install the four lobes rings (33) and wear band (2R) on the ram change piston
heads (9 and 10). Insert the ram change pistons (9 and 10) head first into
the ram change cylinders (11). Carefully note position (right or left) of the
open ram change piston (9) in the bonnet. The second bonnet assembly for
the same ram bore cavity must have the open ram change piston (9) on the
opposite side.

A bonnet with the open ram change piston (9) on the


right-hand side of the bonnet assembly (when facing the
intermediate flange side) will be considered the right-
hand bonnet and the other will be the left-hand.

5.) Install the wear ring (42) and the lip seal (26) on the operating piston (5)
with the lip of the seal facing the connecting rod end. Insert the operating
piston (5) into the assembled bonnet (3) and operating cylinder (6) with the
connecting rod end of the operating piston (5) facing up.
6.) Place the intermediate flange (2) on the assembly table with the edge
containing single tapped hole in upright position and the oval groove toward
assembly man. Install four lobe rings (30) in ram change piston rod bores.
Install wear ring (76) in corresponding groove (only for 13-5/8 15K, 16-3/4’’ 5
and 10K, 18-3/4 10K, 21-1/4 5K and 26-3/4 3K). Install O-ring (25) in operating
piston rod bore. Install plastic packing ring (18) and energizing ring (19) in
operating piston rod bore.

TC1403 105
DRILLING SYSTEMS

For 10K and 15Ksi preventers only, install backup rings


(21) in operating piston rod bore. For 11-15K; 13-5/8-
15K; 18-3/4-10K BOP sizes with large bore shear bonnets,
install wear ring (77) in corresponding ring groove of
the operating piston rod bore.

7.) Install connecting rod lip seal (20) in operating piston rod bore with lips
facing away from intermediate flange. Install lip seal retainer (40) and
retaining ring (41).

Install ram change seal assembly tools on end of the ram


change pistons to prevent damage of threads and seals
(see section XII F).

8.) Using the two lifting holes on each side of intermediate flange, turn the
intermediate flange (2) over with the oval bonnet seal groove upward. With
a nylon strap or other suitable device, lift the intermediate flange (2) and
position it over the bonnet assembly. The plastic packing hole with the 1”
NPT thread in the intermediate flange (2) must be on the same side as the
1-1/8-8 UN threaded hole on the bonnet (3). Carefully lower the intermediate
flange (2) over the connecting rod end of the operating piston (5). Continue
lowering the intermediate flange over the ram change pistons (9 and 10). See
that the operating cylinder (6) and the ram change cylinders (11) have started
to enter the bores prepared for them in the intermediate flange (2).
9.) Before installing the cap screws (35), which secure the bonnet of the
intermediate flange, lubricate the threads and the bearing surface under the
head of each screw. Install cap screws (35) through the intermediate flange
(2) and tighten per recommended bolt torque of API 6A Annex D.

Torque is dependent on bolt diameter, stud material, yield strength, and


grease friction coefficient (f).

Values given are for 0.07 friction coefficient obtained with MOLYKOTE GN
plus grease. For other moly greases, consider +35% on torque value.

XIV-G RAM INSTALLATION.
11.) While installing rams, inspect the ram bore and bonnet.
• Inspect the vertical bore for key seating.
• Inspect intersection between vertical bore and ram bore. Grind out any
raised metal surfaces. Do not remove any metal below original surface.

For acceptance criteria, refer to EB 905D.

I. Maintenance Procedure

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
1.) If more than 500 psi (35 bars) hydraulic pressure is required to operate the
ram subassemblies when there is no pressure in the well bore, determine the
cause and correct any irregularities.

To avoid damage to the packers, close pipe and VBRS


only when pipe is in preventer.

2.) Pressure test and operate the preventer once a week per API S53 Periodic
Field Testing, or appropriate regulatory agency requirement.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE (REF. EB 902D)
1.) At 30 months or 800 operating cycles, whichever comes first, completely
disassemble preventer for periodic inspection (refer to EB 902D).
• Clean all parts. Do not use a wire brush on sealing areas.
• Once a year, replace all rubber seals, gaskets and O-rings.
• Replace ram packing according to its physical condition.
• Repair or replace damaged metal parts.

TC1403 117
DRILLING SYSTEMS

Replacement parts should be obtained from Cameron


(or authorized agent) and repairs should be performed
by Cameron or Cameron authorized repair center, or
under Cameron supervision. The annual inspection does
not apply to rams, ram packers, and bonnet seals. These
parts should be inspected more often, for example, at
each ram or packer change, or between wells.

2.) In some cases, BOPs should be overhauled more often than once a year in
cases when the BOP has been used in a severe operating environment or
has been subject to misuse, or when the operating history of the unit is not
known. Some examples are:
• Prolonged or repeated use at high or low temperatures;
• When operating system pressure is in excess of 3300 psi;
• When used with chemically aggressive well fluids;
• If stored without proper preparation; or
• If exposed to very high flow rates, such as in a blowout.
It is not possible to prepare an exhaustive list of severe conditions. If there
is doubt as to whether a particular condition has been severe enough to
justify an overhaul, then a Cameron representative should be consulted, or
the overhaul should be performed as a precaution.
3.) The BOP should be returned to a Cameron facility for thorough examination
and testing if it has been exposed to any of the following conditions:
• fire
• temperatures above 600° F
• pressure higher than rated working pressure

The recommendation for an annual overhaul does not


apply to BOPs in storage if they have been prepared and
stored properly.

4.) Reassemble the preventer.


5.) After reassembling the preventer, test the rams and operating system per
Section XIV-J.

Hydrostatic proof testing, which is only required when


pressure containing components have been welded or
heat treated, should only be performed in a Cameron or
other properly equipped test facility. Failure to heed this
warning may result in death, injury or property damage.

TC1403 118
DRILLING SYSTEMS

J. Testing

A chart recorder or data acquisition system should be used on all pressure tests. The
permanent record generated should identify the recording device and be dated and
signed.
API Std 53 Definition for “Stabilized”:
A state in which the pressure change rate has decreased to within acceptable limits before
beginning the hold period during a pressure test.

Pressure changes can be caused by such things as


variations in temperature, setting of elastomer seals, or
compression of air or fluids, etc.

The following table gives allowable pressure decline rate during the test (0.2% of
pressure or 2 psi/mn for low pressure test ≤ 1000 PSI):

Allowed Pressure Decline


Pressure (psi)
Rate psi Per Minutes
1000 and below 2
1500 3
3000 6
4500 9
5000 10
10,000 20
15,000 30
22,500 45

Table 76: Allowed Pressure Decline Rate PSI per Minutes

1. Hydraulic Operating System


a. Flush the hydraulic operating system with clean operating fluid (see EB 928D
and SK-196667).
b. Test for proper stroking of the rams and operating system (Ref. EB 798D).
1.) Apply a maximum of 300 psi (20,7 bars) hydraulic pressure to the Open port.
2.) Ensure that the rams open.
3.) Reduce hydraulic pressure to zero psi.
4.) Apply a maximum of 300 psi (20.7 bars) hydraulic pressure the CLOSE port.
5.) Ensure that the rams close.
6.) Reduce hydraulic pressure to zero psi.
c. Test for leaks in the operating system (Ref. EB 463D).
1.) Remove the hydraulic line from the OPEN port.

TC1403 119
DRILLING SYSTEMS

If testing pipe, casing, flex packers, or VBRs, be sure


that an appropriate size test mandrel is installed into
the preventer. DO NOT close the rams on an open hole
unless closing pressure is less than 300 psi (20.7 bars).
Flex packers and VBRs should be tested with the largest
and smallest pipe size for that packer or use in well
program.

Prior to testing, the secondary rod seal (emergency pack


of assembly) should be checked to ensure the seal has
not been energized. Should the connecting rod seal lead
during the test, the seal should be repaired rather than
energizing the secondary packing.

2.) Apply 300 psi (20.7 bars) hydraulic pressure to the CLOSE port, hold pressure
for five minutes, and observe the OPEN port for leaks.
3.) Increase the pressure to 3000 psi (207 bars), hold pressure for five minutes,
and observe the OPEN port for leaks.
4.) Inspect for leaks between the intermediate flange, the bonnet, and the BOP
body. No visible leakage is allowed. Bleed all pressure from the BOP closing
line.
5.) Reconnect the hydraulic line to the OPEN port.
6.) Remove the hydraulic line from the CLOSE port.
7.) Apply 300 psi (20.7 bars) hydraulic pressure to the OPEN port, hold pressure
for five minutes, and observe the CLOSE port for leaks.
8.) Increase the pressure to 3000 psi (207 bars), hold pressure for five minutes,
and observe the CLOSE port for leaks.
9.) Inspect for leaks between the intermediate flange, body and bonnet. No
visible leakage is allowed.
10.) Reconnect the hydraulic line to the CLOSE port.
11.) Repeat the procedure for each preventer cavity.

Under no circumstances should the operating pressure


exceed the pressure rating specified on the product
nameplate located on each bonnet.

2. Ram Test
Perform after installation and as required by API Std 53 or appropriate regulatory

TC1403 120
DRILLING SYSTEMS

agency.

A break-in test may need to be performed before


sealing test with ram. This test is described in EB-944D.

a. Hydraulically test ram packers with water using the following procedure:
1.) Install the BOP Stack on a prepared test stump, or install a test plug below
the BOP if on the wellhead.
2.) Inspect for ram packer leaks at low pressure by closing rams on an
appropriate size test mandrel (none if blinds or shears are used) with 1500 psi
(103 bars) operating pressure, and apply 200 psi (13.8 bars) pressure under
the rams. Hold pressure for five minutes. Maximum pressure drop is 10 psi (1
bar) in five minutes.
3.) Increase pressure slowly to the rated working pressure of the preventer. Hold
pressure for five minutes. Maximum pressure drop is 100 psi (7 bars) in five
minutes.
4.) If rams leak at low or working pressure, inspect for worn ram packers and
replace if necessary.
5.) Repeat the above procedure for each set of casing, pipe and shear rams.
3. Drift Tests
At minimum, the BOP must be drift tested with the appropriate rams installed and
in the open position. It must drift within 30 minutes without being forced.
The drift must conform to drift diameter requirements (per 5.1 Paragraph API 16A
3e Ed.).

Size and Working Pressure API Drift


7-1/16 3000, 5000, 10,000 & 15,000 psi 7.032” [178.61mm]
11 3000, 5000, 10,000 & 15,000 psi 10.970” [278.64mm]
13-5/8 3000, 5000, 10,000 & 15,000 psi 13.595” [345.31mm]
16-3/4 3000, 5000 & 10,000 psi 16.720” [424.69mm]
18-3/4 10,000 psi 18,720” [475.49mm]
20-3/4 3000 psi 20.720” [526.29mm]
21-1/4 2000, 5000 & 10,000 psi 21.220” [538.99mm]
26-3/4 10,000 psi 26.720” [678.69mm]

Table 77: API Drift


API Std 53:
Drifting the BOP should be performed upon completion of the initial BOP test on
the wellhead assembly. This may be achieved using the test plug, wear bushing
tools, or other large bore tools. Subsequent drifting should be determined by the
equipment owner’s PM program or well specific operations.
The minimum drift size for the BOP system in use should be determined by the
equipment owner and user’s requirement for the well(s) the equipment is installed on.
TC1403 121
DRILLING SYSTEMS

K. Hydraulic Lock Option

HYDRAULIC LOCKING SYSTEM (WEDGELOCK) DISASSEMBLY


1.) Remove nuts (6w) to disassemble lock and unlock caps (3w and 4w) from the
housing (5w).
2.) Remove lock cap (4w) or sequencing valve assembly. Unscrew the lock piston
(14w) from the cap. Remove O-rings (9w, 12w and 10w).
3.) Remove unlock cap (3w) and O-ring (8w).
4.) Take out the wedge (13w) and remove O-ring (8w).
5.) Pull out the O-ring (11w) from the housing (5w).

Option: Sequencing Valve


1.) Remove cap screw (9S) to separate the head (1S) from body (2S).
2.) Remove O-ring (11S) from the body (2S) and take out the valve poppet (3S),
spring (5S), seat (4S), and O-ring (7S).
3.) Remove O-ring (6S) from head (1S).

HYDRAULIC LOCKING SYSTEM (WEDGELOCK) ASSEMBLY


1.) Clean all major components (except rubber goods) using solvents, degreasers,
or steam. Use compressed air to clean bores, seal recesses, and fluid passage
ways.

DO NOT use solvents or fuel oil to clean rubber goods.

2.) Apply a thin coat of oil to all machined surfaces.

Lubricate seals or O-rings with light-weight or light


coating of silicone grease prior to installation.

3.) Install an O-ring (9W) into the groove on the lock head (4W).
4.) Install an O-ring (12W) into the threaded end of the lock piston (14W).
5.) Screw the lock piston into the lock head and tighten using a strap wrench. Do
not use pliers or a pipe wrench on the OD of the piston. Excessive tightness is
not required. Some extrusion or cutting of the O-ring (12w) will likely occur
but will not cause harm.
6.) Install an O-ring (10W) into the groove in the head of the lock piston (14W).
7.) Liberally apply grease on the head of the lock piston in order to provide
protection against corrosion.
8.) Install an O-ring (8W) into the groove in the free end of the wedge piston
(13W).

TC1403 122
DRILLING SYSTEMS

9.) The bore through the wedgelock housing (5W) is chromed for half its length,
and is of a larger diameter with a rough finish for the rest of its length. Slide
the wedge piston (end without O-ring first) into the chromed bore of the
housing.
• If the wedge piston is inserted head first into the rough bore end of the
housing, the O-ring on the head of the piston will be cut as the piston
head passes the tail rod bore in the center of the housing.
• Orient the wedge piston (13w) so that the flat, tapered surface will face
the tail rod of the operating piston when the unit is installed on the BOP.
Make certain the O-ring on the head of the wedge piston is not pinched
or cut as it enters the chromed bore of the housing.
10.) Install studs (15W) into both ends of the wedgelock housing (5W).
11.) Insert the lock head with the attached lock piston into the wedgelock
housing. Insert the head of the lock into the wedge piston, and then rotate
the lock head until it can be pushed into place on the studs (15W) on the end
of the wedgelock housing. The off-center position of the lock piston will not
allow the lock head to be improperly oriented if the wedge piston is correctly
oriented in the wedgelock housing.
12.) Secure the lock head to the wedgelock housing with item 6W. Torque the
nuts to the value specified in API 6A Table D2 for that thread size.
13.) Install an O-ring (8W) into the groove on the unlock head (3W).
14.) Position the unlock head on the end of the wedgelock housing over studs
(15W). The head should be oriented so that the unlock ports will be vertical.
15.) Secure the unlock head to the wedgelock housing with four nuts (6W).
Torque the nuts to the valve specified per API 6A Table D2 for that thread
size.

Install an O-ring (7W) and check valve (1W) on cap


housing.

a. Wedgelock
1.) Prior to installing wedgelock assembly, install tail rod extension (2W) and
stud (17W) onto tail rod of operating piston.
2.) Install appropriate studs (13W) at the back of the bonnet (3).
3.) Position the wedgelock housing in line with the tail rod extension (2W) on
the operating piston.
4.) Install an O-ring (11W) into the groove in the mounting flange of the
wedgelock housing. A heavy coat of grease will help hold the seal in place
while the housing is being maneuvered into place on the BOP.
5.) Slide the wedgelock housing on the tail rod extension of the operating
piston. The pin on the side of the tail rod extension fits into the keyway cut in
the bore of the wedgelock housing.

TC1403 123
DRILLING SYSTEMS

6.) Continue to slide the wedgelock housing along the tail rod extension until
the mounting studs (13W) enter the flange and the housing is in contact with
the bonnet. Make certain the O-ring installed in step 4 remains in place in its
groove as the wedgelock housing makes contact.
7.) Secure the wedgelock housing on the BOP body with eight nuts (14w).
Tighten the nuts evenly in a cross pattern before applying torque to any of
them. Torque the nuts per Table 74.
b. Optional Sequencing Valve
1.) Install O-ring (11S) on the body (2S).
2.) Install O-ring (7S) on the seat (4S) and insert them in the body (2S).
3.) Put O-ring (8S) on the poppet (3S) and insert the poppet though the seat in
the body.
4.) Install O-ring (6S) into the groove of the head (1S) and assemble the head
with the four cap screws (9S). Torque per API 6A Table D2.
FUNCTIONAL TESTING
Test the hydraulic locking system with clean operating fluid (see EB 928D).
a. Flush the hydraulic locking system with clean operating fluid (see EB 928D).
b. Test for leaks in the locking system:
1.) Apply 300 psi (20.7 bars) hydraulic pressure to the unlock port, hold pressure
for five minutes, and observe port for leaks.
2.) Increase the pressure to 3000 psi (207 bars), hold pressure for five minutes,
and observe port for leaks.
3.) Inspect for leaks between the unlock head cap and the wedgelock housing.
Bleed all pressure from the BOP unlock line.
4.) No visible leakage is allowed.
5.) Apply 300 psi (20.7 bars) hydraulic pressure to the lock port, hold pressure for
five minutes, and observe the balance chamber port for leaks.
6.) Increase the pressure to 3000 psi (207 bars), hold pressure for five minutes,
and observe the balance chamber port for leaks.
7.) No visible leakage is allowed.
8.) Bleed all pressure from the BOP lock line.
9.) Repeat the procedure for each cavity.

M. Storage

PREVENTER
• Condition of Storage:
Medium term: BOP is not to be put into service for a period less than three
months.
Long term: BOP is not to be put into service for a period of three months or
longer.

• Periodic Testing of Preservation Fluid (long-term only):


Preservation fluid should be tested at 3- to 6-month intervals. Fluid may be
changed every 12 months if necessary.

• Planned Maintenance:
At 3- to 6-month intervals, the BOP bonnets should be opened and the cavity
visually inspected (in case of long-term storage).

1. Open the bonnets and remove the ram subassemblies.


2. Remove the top seals and packers, then wash the ram subassemblies.
3. Lubricate the ram bodies with heavy grease.

DO NOT lubricate the top seals or packers.

4. Do not store the ram subassemblies inside the preventer.

Rubber products that have been put into service and


are subsequently stored will have an unpredictable
shelf-life. This is attributable to their varied physical
condition when returned to storage, due to the inability
to completely remove elastomeric solvents (hydrocarbon
contaminates, etc.) and storage in a container filled with
air (chemically active gases).

5. Clean the inside and outside machined surfaces of the preventer.


6. Dry with an air blaster until no moisture is left inside or outside the preventer.
7. Inspect the ram bores and the vertical bores for burrs.
8. Remove burrs by touching the surface lightly with a grinder using 36 to 60 grit
papers.
9. Lubricate the ram bore with heavy grease.
10. Lubricate the end and outlet connection faces with heavy grease and cover them
with flange protectors.
11. Flush the operating system using clean operating fluid.
TC1403 129
DRILLING SYSTEMS

For Medium-Term Storage


12. Hydraulic chambers should be partially filled with a corrosion protection fluid
containing a vapor phase inhibitor.
13. The operating piston should be moved in open position.
14. Install the 1” NPT pipe plugs into the OPEN and CLOSE connections. Tag the
assembly with a brass tag and mark date and storage fluid used.

For Long-Term Storage


1. Install 1“ NPT ball valves to the open and close ports.
2. Flush the operating system using clean operating fluid.
3. Fill the operating system with preservation fluid containing a vapor phase inhibitor.
4. The operating piston should be moved in open position.
5. Close the ball valves and disconnect the hydraulic hoses. Tag the assembly with a
brass tag and mark date and storage fluid used.

ELASTOMERS
1. Store rubber products inside a cool, dark, dry storage area.
a. The preferred storage temperature range for rubber goods is from 40° F to 80°F
(4.4° C to 26.7° C).
b. Rubber goods should be wrapped or otherwise protected from direct exposure
to sunlight or artificial light with a high ultraviolet content (such as fluorescent
lighting). Do not store in direct sunlight, even if wrapped, as overheating will
result.
c. Store rubber parts in a relaxed position. Do not stretch or hang O-rings and
seals. Labels should not be attached to seals with string, wire or tape as these
items may deform the sealing surface.
2. Use airtight containers when possible to protect against circulating air.
3. Ozone is extremely harmful to rubber. Ensure that there is no equipment in the
storage area that may generate ozone, such as mercury vapor lamps, high-voltage
electrical equipment, electric motors, or any electrical apparatus that produces
arcing.
4. Keep rubber products clean and free of solvents, oil, greases, or any other semi-
solid or liquid materials during storage. Rubber goods should specifically be
protected against direct contact with:
• manganese
• copper
• copper alloys (including brass)
• polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
• creosote-impregnated timber
• sulphur
• copper napthenate
• other rubber goods of different rubber compounds

TC1403 130
DRILLING SYSTEMS

5. When necessary, rubber goods may be cleaned with soap and water or methyl
alcohol. After cleaning, the rubber goods should be dried at room temperature.
6. Examine the part before installation.

Rubber goods taken from storage must ALWAYS be


inspected before installation. Rubber goods should not
be flexed at temperatures below 40° F (4.4° C). Rubber
goods in storage should be inspected every 12 months to
ensure that they are still serviceable.

a. Ensure that the part does not have a tacky surface or noticeable softening
or hardening of the surface.
b. Flex the part and inspect with a magnifying glass to ensure that there
are no cracks.
c. Replace items that show any aging signs mentioned above.

GENERAL WARNING

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow may result in serious personal
injury and damage not only to equipment but also the environment.

1. Safety is a combination of staying alert, common sense, and experience with oil field equipment
and environment. Read this manual prior to operating and servicing the FL and FLS valve. Be
familiar with operation terminologies of gate valves and oil field equipment.
2. This document includes basic valve repair guidance. The field service personnel shall be fully
trained in all aspects of handling pressure control equipment as well as the job they are going
to perform on the FL and FLS valve models. If any procedures and policies listed in this document
cannot be followed, contact a Cameron Representative for best course of action.
3. Proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) shall be utilized according to Company policies.
Always use proper tools when servicing equipment.
4. A Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) must be performed prior to beginning service on a well location. A
JHA review meeting will be held with all affected rig personnel PRIOR to commencement of work
to review results of the JHA, evacuation routes, emergency contacts, etc. All meeting attendees
and a Company Representative will sign off on the JHA to acknowledge meeting has taken place.
5. Be aware of unexpected circumstances that may arise when operating or servicing valve. Utilize
Step Back 5X5 process in order to assess hazards posed before, during and after servicing of
equipment under pressure or with potential of hazardous chemicals present. Be familiar with
company’s and facility’s Lockout/Tagout program in order to ensure all sources of energy (i.e.
electrical, pneumatic, pressure) are isolated and/or de-energized prior to beginning work.
6. All governmental or Company safety requirements shall be met before working on valve.
Requirements of fully tested pressure barriers prior to servicing valve shall be observed.
Cameron recommends two mechanical pressure barriers is preferred practice. Lower Master
Valve (LMV) is a critical valve and additional precautions should be taken to ensure mechanical
pressure barriers are functioning correctly prior to work being carried out on this particular valve.
7. Always check for trapped pressure before servicing valve. All valves downstream of pressure
barriers must be cycled several times to release trapped pressure.
8. Ensure chemical and physical properties of fluid flow product inside valve are known. Obtain
applicable Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for commonly encountered chemicals such
as hydrogen sulfide, cements, etc. in order to identify appropriate PPE to use, emergencies,
procedures, and methods or exposure control.
9. Always use correct lifting devices and follow safety rules in handling heavy products. The weight
of single cavity flanged and hub outlet valves are provided in this document for reference. Actual
valve weight can vary for valve block configurations. Never attempt to lift valve by hand. Do not
lift from handwheel or handwheel adapter. Valve should be lifted from valve body or end flange
outlets.
10. Cameron manufactures a variety of valve models with different features and operating
requirements. Be certain of valve model and refer to appropriate manual before attempting
operation or service on valve. This document is to assist field personnel in operation and
maintenance of the FL and FLS handwheel operated gate valve for valve sizes that are listed in
this document. Different documents are available for other FL/FLS valve sizes.

2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION


2.1 Description and Features
The FL or FLS gate valve is a full-bore through-conduit valve designed and manu-
factured in accordance with API 6A and NACE MR-01-75. It is available in standard
double flange, threaded-end and special block body configurations. The following
are standard features of FL and FLS gate valves:
2.1.1 Sealing at gate-to-seat and seat-to-body is metal-to-metal.
2.1.2 Gate and seat assembly has minimum number of parts. One-piece seats and
slab gate ensure reliable sealing and simplify field service. The modified
Acme gate-to-stem thread allows gate to move back and forth, or float, to
seal against seat.
2.1.3 Gate and seat assembly seals in both directions, and gate and seats can be
reversed for increased life.
2.1.4 Stem shoulder can be backseated against bonnet to isolate stem seal from
valve internal pressure. This feature can be used to prevent leakage to
environment in case of stem seal malfunction. Backseating feature can also
be used to allow replacement of stem seal while valve is under pressure, a
design capability required by API Spec 6A. HOWEVER, replacing stem seal
with pressure in valve body is not recommended and should only be done
with utmost caution and safety planning.
2.1.5 Non-rising stem prevents cavity pressure increase or displacement of cavity
lubricant when valve is stroked open or closed.
2.1.6 All FL and FLS valves have metal-to-metal sealing grease fitting which
contains check valve. Stem, gate and seat are lubricated through grease
TC148-2 6
fitting which is located on downstream side of stem backseat for safety. No
sealant or lubricant ports extend directly into valve cavity.
2.1.7 Valves for 2000 through 5000 psi WP use flat compression-type metal gasket.
Seal between valve body and bonnet is a pressure-energized, modified BX-
style metal bonnet gasket on 10,000 through 20,000 psi WP valves.
2.1.8 Stem seal is non-elastomeric design resistant to all well fluids. Different ver-
sions of these seals are available that can extend temperature rating to cover
all API temperature ratings.
2.1.9 An optional add-on torque multiplier is available for larger FL and FLS valves
to provide easier operation.

3.0 VALVE OPERATION

1. Be aware of surrounding environment and valve condition when operating valve. Be certain of
gate position (open/close) before operating valve. Be aware that unexpected circumstances may
arise when operating or servicing valve. Review completed JHA and perform Step Back 5X5 to
prepare for unplanned situations.
2. Always use the provided handwheel and stand on stable platform when operating valve. Refer to
Tables I through VI for appropriate handwheel size.
3. DO NOT apply more torque than specified values. Do not use cheater pipe or wrench on
handwheel to operate. Excessive torque can damage stem pin or other valve parts.
4. If valve handwheel will not rotate, it is possible that rotation is in wrong direction. If there is un-
certainty about valve position, open or close, rotate handwheel in both directions before increas-
ing torque. Consider possibility of hydrates (ice) in valve if it is still inoperable.
5. When pressure is bled from valve bore, there may be trapped pressure in cavity when valve is in
either open or closed position. Valve should be cycled to relieve pressure.

3.1 Open Valve


Valve is opened by turning handwheel counterclockwise (to left) until it stops,
then turning handwheel back to right 1/4 to 1/2 turn to relieve stress on operating
mechanism.

3.2 Close Valve


Valve is closed by turning handwheel clockwise (to right) until it stops, and then
backing off 1/4 to 1/2 turn to allow gate to float and seal.

Gate must be positioned either “full-open” or “full-


closed”. Leaving valve in partially open position can
cause throttling and damage to valve components.
Number of turns should always be counted to verify
final gate position. Refer to Table VII for number of
turns to open and close valve, appropriate valve size and
pressure.

4.0 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

1. DANGER: Lubricating valve involves injection into valve body. This can present a hazard
while well is flowing or under pressure. Be aware of unexpected circumstances during or after
lubricating valve. Review completed JHA and perform Step Back 5x5 to prepare for unplanned
situations.
2. Isolate valve pressure source and release valve pressure before lubricating valve whenever
possible. If valve is lubricated under pressure, second check valve or needle valve should be
manifolded onto grease fitting as second barrier. This can isolate pressure if grease fitting check
fails. Reference facility’s work instruction on grease gun safety in order to verify condition of
greasing equipment before performing the work.
3. Besides wearing appropriate PPE, be sure to read and understand Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) of grease or any other chemicals being used on the job to ensure adequate control mea-
sures are in place.
4. Be aware of trapped pressure and physical and chemical properties of well fluid. Stroke valve to
verify release of any trapped pressure. Use proper unseating tool to check any residual trapped
pressure through grease fitting.
5. When removing fitting cap be certain fitting does not rotate with cap. If constant pressure re-
lease is heard when loosening cap, retighten cap and plan to replace fitting.
6. During lubrication or other maintenance operations, do not place any part of one’s body in front
of fitting, especially when removing fitting or fitting cap.
7. Standard FL and FLS gate valves do not have buried check valves like earlier designs. However,
some special customer designs and older valve models such as F and FC may have a buried check
valve with word “CHECK” stamped next to grease fitting.
8. During lubrication, do not exceed rated working pressure of valve. Slowdown in pumping speed
shows resistance and can be indication that valve cavity is full.

4.1 Valve Body Cavity Lubrication

Proper lubrication will improve performance and life


of valve. It is recommended to lubricate valve cavity
after ten operating cycles. One cycle equals opening
and closing valve one time. Service interval can vary
according to application, fluids used and well conditions.
If pressure is equalized across valve before it is opened,
service interval can be extended. If valve is removed
from service, body cavity should be lubricated before it
is returned to service or put in storage.

If it becomes necessary to cement, acidize, frac through,


or subject valve to any other unusual service, it is

TC148-2 14
recommended to lubricate valve body cavity before
operation. After operation, flush valve with appropriate
cleaning/neutralizing fluid. Then operate valve with
fresh water or appropriate neutralizing fluid in the line.
Finally, lubricate valve body cavity again. Cycling valve
during flushing and lubrication will greatly improve
effectiveness of maintenance.

Lubricant selection chart, Table IX, recommends proper


grease for different valve service conditions. Table VIII
shows amount of grease required for different FL and
FLS valves. For well flow stimulation operations (i.e.
fracturing operations) it is recommended to use Diesel
Resistant grease (P/N 713837-10) to lubricate valve body.

Lubrication of valve cavity is performed through grease fitting as follows:


4.1.1 Isolate valve from flow line pressure; stroke valve to open position.
4.1.2 Remove grease fitting cap from grease fitting located on bonnet OD. When
removing grease fitting cap, be certain fitting does not rotate with cap. Do
not place any part of one’s body in front of fitting vent.
4.1.3 Connect grease gun coupler to grease fitting.
4.1.4 Pump appropriate amount and type of lubricant into body cavity. Refer to
Tables VIII and IX.
4.1.5 When valve cavity has been filled, remove grease gun and reinstall grease
fitting cap. Torque to 50-60 ft-lb (70-85 N•m).

4.2 Stem Thrust Bearing Lubrication

Lubricate thrust bearings as often as required to ensure


smooth valve operation. Depending upon ambient
temperature, use either standard or low-temperature
grease listed in Table IX to lubricate thrust bearings. Do
not use diesel resistant or high-temperature grease to
lubricate thrust bearings.

4.2.1 Connect handheld grease gun to zert fitting on bearing cap.


4.2.2 Pump lubricant into fitting until clean grease appears at vent hole in bearing
cap.

7.0 ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS
The only information needed for ordering replacement parts for a Cameron gate valve
is original valve assembly part number and description of part. Valve assembly part
number is stamped on valve body nameplate. It is recommended that description of
valve assembly (size, pressure, trim) be included as a check on assembly number, but is
not necessary if assembly number is clearly readable.
It is not recommended to order replacement parts by using part number off old part or
by referring to file copy of valve assembly bill of material. If an engineering change has
been implemented to valve assembly to replace one component part number with an-
other, the only way to ensure getting updated component is to reference valve assem-
bly number and part by description (gate, seat, stem, etc. Part descriptions are shown in
parts list, Part I.D.). Cameron personnel can then check latest revision of assembly bill of
material to obtain appropriate and current replacement part number.
Contact Cameron representative for replacement parts for FLS and all other FL gate
valves.

GENERAL WARNING

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow may result in serious personal injury
and damage not only to the equipment, but also the environment.

1. Safety is a combination of staying alert, common sense, and experience with the oil field
equipment and environment. Read this manual prior to operating and servicing the FL and
FLS valve. Be familiar with the operation terminologies of gate valves and oil field equip-
ment.
2. This document includes basic valve repair guidance. The field service personnel shall be fully
trained in all aspects of handling pressure control equipment, as well as the job that they
are going to perform on the FL and FLS valve models. If any of the procedures and policies
listed in this document cannot be followed, contact a Cameron representative for the best
course of action.
3. Proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) shall be utilized according to company policies.
Always use proper tools when servicing the equipment.
4. A job hazard analysis (JHA) must be performed prior to beginning any service on a well
location. A JHA review meeting will be held with all affected rig personnel PRIOR to the
commencement of work to review the results of the JHA, evacuation routs, emergency con-
tacts, etc. All meeting attendees and a company representative will sign-off on the JHA to
acknowledge this meeting has taken place.
5. Be aware of unexpected circumstances that may arise when operating or servicing the
valve. Utilize the Step Back 5X5 process in order to assess the hazards posed before, dur-
ing, and after the servicing of equipment under pressure or with the potential of hazardous
chemicals present. Be familiar with the company’s and facility’s Lockout/Tagout program in
order to ensure all sources of energy (i.e. electrical, pneumatic, pressure) are isolated and/or
de-energized prior to beginning work.
6. All governmental or company safety requirements shall be met before working on the
valve. Requirements of fully tested pressure barriers prior to servicing the valve shall be
observed. Cameron recommends two mechanical pressure barriers as the preferred prac-
tice. The Lower Master Valve (LMV) is a critical valve, and additional precautions should be
taken to ensure that the mechanical pressure barriers are functioning correctly prior to any
work being carried out on this particular valve.
7. Always check for any trapped pressure before servicing the valve. All valves downstream of
the pressure barriers must be cycled several times to release any trapped pressure.
8. Ensure the chemical and physical properties of the fluid flow product inside the valve are
known. Obtain applicable Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for commonly encountered
chemicals such as hydrogen sulfide, cements, etc. in order to identify appropriate PPE to
use, emergencies, procedures, and methods or exposure control.
9. Always use correct lifting devices and follow safety rules in handling heavy products. The
weight of single cavity flanged and hub outlet valves are provided in this document for ref-
erence. The actual valve weight can vary for the valve block configurations. Never attempt
to lift the valve by hand. Do not lift from hand wheel or hand wheel adapter. Valve should
be lifted from valve body or end flange outlets.
10. Cameron manufactures a variety of valve models with different features and operating
requirements. Be certain of the valve model and refer to the appropriate manual, before
attempting any operation or service on the valve. This document is to assist field personnel
in the operation and maintenance of the FLS DOUBLE ACTING Hydraulic gate valve new
model.

II. GENERAL INFORMATION


The FLS gate valve is a full-bore through-conduit valve designed and manufactured in accor-
dance with API 6A and NACE MR-01-75.
The following are standard features of the FL and FLS gate valves:
1. Sealing at the gate-to-seat and the seat-to-body is metal-to-metal.
2. The gate and seat assembly has a minimum number of parts. One-piece seats and
slab gate ensure reliable sealing and simplify field service.
3. The gate and seat assembly seals in both directions, and the gate and seats can be
reversed for increased life.
4. The stem’s shoulders can be back seated against the bonnet or stuffing box to iso-
late the stem seal from valve internal pressure. This feature can be used to prevent
leakage to the environment in the case of a stem seal malfunction. The back seat-
ing feature can also be used to allow replacement of the stem seal while the valve
is under pressure, a design capability required by API Spec 6A. HOWEVER, replacing
the stem seal with pressure in the valve body is not recommended, and should only
be done with the utmost of caution and safety planning.
5. All FLS valves have metal-to-metal sealing grease fitting which contains a check
valve. The stem, gate and seat are lubricated through the grease fitting which is lo-
cated on the downstream side of the stem backseat for safety. No sealant or lubri-
cant ports extend directly into the valve cavity.
6. Valves for 2000 thru 5000 psi WP use a flat compression-type metal gasket. The
seal between the valve body and bonnet is a pressure-energized, modified BX-style
metal bonnet gasket on 10,000 thru 20,000 psi WP valves.
7. The stem seal is a non-elastomeric design that is resistant to all well fluids. Differ-
ent versions of these seals are available that can extend the temperature rating to
cover all API temperature ratings.

IV. INSPECTION

A. Valve Inspection

Inspect the ring grooves for pitting and other visible damage. If defects are found, con-
tact Cameron personnel for repair work.

B. Actuator Inspection

1. Attach a temporary supply line to the close NPT port in the lower end of the cylin-
der.
2. Apply 50 to 150 psi gas or hydraulic supply pressure to the cylinder.
3. Inspect the valve bore to ensure that the gate bore is properly aligned. If it is not
fully open, contact a Cameron service representative.
4. Release the supply pressure.
5. If the valve does not stroke smoothly or if a leak is detected, see Part V or contact a
Cameron representative.

V. INSTALLATION
The Cameron FLS with double acting hydraulic actuator operates properly when installed in
any orientation. The valve is a bidirectional sealing design.

VI. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

A. Operation

The double acting hydraulic actuator on a FLS gate valve requires operating pressure
within the range of 1500 to 3000 psi. Pressurizing the upper port (farthest from the valve)
closes the valve. Pressurizing the lower port (closest to the valve) opens the valve. The
valve will remain in position after release of actuator pressure due to the balanced stem
design (lower stem balances pressure thrust on upper stem), and the actuator does not
contain springs. Stem packing at the upper and lower stems seal line pressure. However,
should some leakage occur past the upper stem packing, a vent port and seals above the
vent will prevent line pressure from entering the actuator.
The required operating pressure for the double acting actuator is usually much lower
than the published minimum of 1500 psi. That value takes into account fouling of the
valve by drilling fluids, etc., and is not expected to represent the “normal” situation. The
actuator has a maximum rated working pressure of 3000 psi. Hydraulic oils or water that
contains a water soluble lubricant (Cameron lubricant 590X) can be used as the operating
fluid. 590X protects the hydraulic system and has good flow characteristics. Add an appro-
priate amount of ethylene glycol (antifreeze) for freeze protection of water based fluid.
The valve lower stem indicates valve position, viewed through slots in the lower stem pro-
tector/indicator. When the valve is open, the lower stem is up (towards the valve body).
When the valve is closed, the lower stem is down (away from the valve body).
1. The manual locking screw may be used to close the valve when hydraulic operating
pressure is not available and there is little or no pressure in the valve.
2. The manual locking screw may also be used to lock the valve in the closed position.

a. Apply hydraulic pressure to the actuator (closing port cylinder port farthest from
the valve) to close the valve.
b. Release hydraulic pressure from the actuator.
c. Turn the locking screw hand wheel clockwise (to the right) until it firmly con-
tacts the centering pin on the piston.
3. To ‘unlock’ and open a closed valve:
a. Turn the locking screw counterclockwise (to the left) until the locking screw
shoulder contacts the upper head.
b. Apply hydraulic pressure to the actuator (opening port, cylinder port closest to
the valve) to open the valve.
c. Release hydraulic pressure from the actuator.

Note: Actuator internal stops absorb piston force at both ends of the stroke to limit gate
travel. In the fully closed position, the piston contacts the stem packing gland in the
bonnet. The piston contacts the adjusting adapter in the upper cylinder head when the
valve is fully open.

B. Maintenance

1. Maintenance Schedule
The following maintenance checklist covers normal or routine service. More fre-
quent maintenance may be necessary for unusual or more adverse conditions.

*The valve is lubricated through a grease fitting located on the actuator bonnet. Recommended lubricants and
amounts are shown below.

**One cycle equals opening and closing the valve one time. The service interval can vary according to application, fluids
used, and well conditions.

***Periodic maintenance must also be performed after every “kick” or other conditions when drilling fluids have been
processed through the valve.
