Hydril Pressure Control Flexible subsea blowout prevention

Annu-Flex™
Pressure Control Equipment: Blowout preventers

Applications & Benefits

We drew on more than 55 years of BOP application experience
in all BOP types, sizes and pressure ranges when creating the
Hydril Pressure Control Annu-FlexTM. A variation of our GX
annular BOP, drilling contractors’ “best annular in the business,”
the Annu-Flex combines a reliable subsea annular blowout
preventer with a maintenance-free, flexible underwater riser
joint. Together, the BOP head/flex joint combination reduces
overall stack height and requires fewer stack connections.
Additionally, the Annu-Flex offers:
• Rapid and economical maintenance
• Simple and reliable operations
• Long service life

Key Features
Designed specifically for subsea drilling applications, the
Hydril Pressure Control Annu-Flex enhances the best of
our GX annular BOP’s performance and serviceability with
several distinguishing features:
• A flex-joint design eliminates friction that causes binding
and galling as well as the need for lubrication and pressure
compensation commonly found in ball-type designs
• An elastomer element, the key component of the subsea
flexible joint, is permanently bonded to an inner housing
and outer ring
• A guide ring/wear bushing absorbs through-the-bore wear
during normal operations to protect the elastomer element
and the main housing
• A housing/latched head to retain full working pressure rating
The Hydril Pressure Control Annu-Flex
Advantage
Only the Hydril Pressure Control Annu-Flex can offer the
performance and serviceability of our GX annular BOP in a
unit designed specifically for subsea drilling applications. With
its compact design and distinctive flex joint, the Annu-Flex
decreases overall stack height to free up critical space and
require fewer stack connections.

closure on drill pipe, kelly, tool joints or tubing, and wireline
as well as the open hole.
• Easy precharge and maintainance – charging assemblies

• Outstanding durability with standard hydrogenated nitrile
elastomer
• At-a-glance precharge and bladder verification with sight

• Reduced downtime with field-replaceable diaphragms

Key Features
The GK makes maintenance easy and lengthens the time
between packing unit changes and shop repairs. The key to
these benefits is a simple design that includes:
• A single packing unit that closes on any size pipe or open
hole – and handles stripping
• Only two moving parts: the piston and packing unit, for
less wear and maintenance
• An optional latched head for fast, easy access to the
packing unit and wear seals; the majority of GK annulars
have a screwed head design
The Hydril Pressure Control GK Advantage
The packing unit for the GK annular BOP can hold full-rated
working pressure and will close on an open hole. Before
shipment, each packing unit is factory tested in a BOP – to
50% of working pressure on open hole and 100% on pipe.
The GK provides longer life when using genuine Hydril
Pressure Control packing units, as shown in repeated testing.
When the GK closes, the piston moves up, driving the
elastomer and inserts inward where they quickly reach a
fixed position and form a steel ring that prevents the rubber
from moving upward under wellbore pressure. After the ring
is formed, feedable elastomer continues to flow inward around
the inserts to create a positive seal on the drill string or open
hole. Because the elastomer is primarily in compression, it
resists tears, cuts and abrasions.

The GX can strip and seal on all pipe sizes and achieve complete deep water
shutoff. In the field and in laboratory tests, GX units have:
• Passed an ABS-witnessed, 10,000-psi API pressure test at
270° F (132° C)
• Stripped more than 30,000 ft of 65⁄8" drill pipe with 8¼"
tool joints
• Stripped 300,000 ft of 5" drill pipe with 63⁄8" tool joints
before failure
• Held pressure in the field after 328 closing cycles plus stripping

Key Features
Well suited for surface and subsea operations, the GX makes
maintenance easy and lengthens the time between packing
unit changes and shop repairs. The key to these benefits is a
simple design that includes:
• A single packing unit that closes on any size pipe or an
open hole – and handles stripping
• Only two moving parts, the piston and packing unit, for
less wear and maintenance
The Hydril Pressure Control GX Advantage
The packing unit for the GX annular BOP can hold full-rated
working pressure after more closing cycles and stripping
than any other unit available. The GX produces extra uptime
from a significantly larger reservoir of engineered elastomer,
and a BOP design that precisely controls the position of
unique, flanged steel inserts.
When the GX closes, the packing unit rubber drives the inserts
inward, where they quickly reach a fixed position and form a
steel ring that prevents the elastomer from extruding upward
under wellbore pressure. After the ring is formed, feedable
elastomer continues to flow inward around the inserts to create
a positive seal on the drill string or open hole. Because the
elastomer is primarily in compression, it resists tears, cuts
and abrasions.
When stripping, the steel inserts again remain fixed. As
various diameters of pipe and tool joints pass through the
closed unit, the elastomer flows in and out. Even at higher
wellbore pressures, the GX packing unit maintains precise
control of seal-off tightness to permit a slight leak of drilling
fluid that provides lubrication, optimizes pull-through forces
and further prolongs packer life.
No matter what type of severe service awaits your BOPs,
expect more from the genuine Hydril Pressure Contol GX.

PASAFE™ Pulsation for extreme conditions
Dampener
Pressure Control Equipment: Pulsation Dampeners

Applications & Benefits

Hydril Pressure Control PASAFE™ pulsation dampeners extend
pump life and enhance piping system performance by
controlling pressure and flow pulsations. Virtually maintenance-
free and available in three specialized flow-through designs,
PASAFE discharge dampeners and suction stabilizers are
engineered specifically to handle abrasive, corrosive, high-
temperature and high-pressure fluids in the most extreme
environments.

Hydril Pressure Control R-PASAFE dampeners are ideal for high-

temperature or chemical applications – including industrial and
oil and gas drilling applications – that can cause compatibility
problems with elastomers. The flow-through design of every
C-PASAFE unit effectively reduces flow and acceleration-
induced pulsations in reverse-osmosis applications. S-PASAFE
combination units, with both large liquid volume and gas
volume, are particularly well suited for slurry and mine
dewatering applications.

All PASAFE pulsation dampeners:

• Increase safety and reliability by requiring no gas precharging
• Handle pressure requirements to 15,000 psi without
any reduction of pulsation
• Require no replacement of internal
parts for greater ease of
use and economy

Rams you can rely on

Industry-leading designs for blowout prevention in all
surface and subsea applications
Rams you can rely on
GE Oil & Gas, Drilling & Production provides a full range of
industry-leading ram designs for superior performance in
our blowout preventers (BOPs) for all surface and subsea
applications. They protect personnel and equipment by
reliably stopping unexpected surges of oil, gas and drilling
mud from the well bore. They seal the annulus around drill
pipe, casing or tubing; or they can shear the drill string.
Our portfolio includes these types of rams:
• Blind • Pipe
• Blind shear • Tubing
• Casing • Variable
• Casing shear • Wireline shear
• Fixed bore
Blind rams can be provided on all our BOP models, while
shear rams may require larger than standard operator size.
Blind ram
Our blind rams have the ability to completely shut off an
open hole while holding full-rated pressure at 350°F.
Blind ram
Casing ram
Fixed bore ram
Blind shear
Our blind shear rams will completely shut off the well after
they have completed the shear. They will hold the full rated
pressure and are rated per API standards to 350°F. These
rams are recommended for all applications using 95⁄8"
diameter pipe and below.
Casing shear
Unlike blind shears, casing shears do not have sealing
capability. However, their advantage is the capability to
shear larger pipes – almost any round pipe that will fit
through the BOP bore can be sheared by the Hydril Pressure
Control casing shear ram.
Fixed bore
Our Hydril Pressure Control fixed bore rams have the ability
to seal on any API casing size, drill pipe or tubular.
Wireline shear
The wireline shear is a special type of blind shear ram. Its
distinctive design keeps the upper and lower blades in very
close proximity to each other, allowing the unit to shear
small cables along with the pipe.
Blind shear ram
Casing shear ram
Wireline shear ram
Where versatility & reliability meet:
the Hydril Pressure Control variable ram
Our Hydril Pressure Control variable rams (HVRs) are
designed to securely and reliably close and seal on a wide
range of pipe sizes.

Universal seal-off
The HVR has a universal seal-off feature that is especially
useful on a drill string that does not have a constant Variable ram
diameter over its length or when multiple diameters of drill
pipe are used. Two BOPs with variable rams can be used on
a tapered string to provide a backup for all drill-pipe sizes.
This application eliminates having one pipe ram for small
diameter pipe and one for large diameter pipe.

If a BOP stack is assembled with a blind or blind shear ram

and two sets of HVRs, the HVRs will seal over the BOP’s
complete range providing the backup seal-off capability
needed on a tapered string. Our Hydril Pressure Control
variable ram is therefore ideally suited to subsea use by VARIABLE RAM ASSEMBLIES
expanding the seal-off capability of each cavity within a BOP. Bore Size (inches) Pressure Rating (psi) Seal Off Range Part Number
