Deep under the ocean, where Xiangjing is drilling for oil, there’s a special tool that’s the key to keeping everyone safe. The device is known as a blow out preventer, or BOP for short. Blow out preventers are much like superheros that come to the rescue if things don’t go as planned while drilling.
A blow out preventer stops the flow by sealing off the wellbore, which is akin to a tunnel in which oil is located underground. If too much pressure builds in the wellbore, a blow out preventer can stop the oil from gushing out on its own. By doing so it can prevent accidents, such as oil spills.
Safety first is Xiangjing's philosophy, which is why our blowout preventers are designed with cutting-edge material and technology to protect both our employees and our environment. They are high-tech sensors that can detect pressure changes and turn on automatically to safeguard the well.
A blow out preventer (BOP) has multiple key pieces that help to keep every thing in check. These are the Rams, Valves and the Control Systems. Rams are like giant doors that can shut in the wellbore, while valves govern the movement of fluids. The flow control system acts as the brain of the blow out preventer, overseeing everything that’s happening.
There have been blow out preventers that have failed to work in the past, with catastrophic results. Oil spills have the potential to threaten sea life, pollute the ocean or endanger human lives. That’s precisely why it’s so imperative for companies such as Xiangjing to make use of trusted blow out preventers, among other technology, to ensure that accidents don’t occur.
