One of the most dangerous and feared occurrences in the drilling industry is the dreaded blowout. Because of the failures of blowout preventers (or BOPs), drilling has the reputation of being harmful to workers and leading to the destruction of environments. Indeed, blowouts have killed workers that are drilling, as well as destroyed expensive equipment. And when thousands of barrels of oil have poured into ecosystems, the results can be severe. This is why blowout preventers were developed: to seal, control, and monitor oil and fuel wells, so that this type of occurrence can be avoided. But some blowout preventers can fail. If you notice a defect in your ram or annular BOP, then BOP repair will need to be performed to keep it working properly, especially in light of new government regulations.
DOYLES Offers Complete BOP Repair
Doyles Offers Complete BOP Repair – BOP Repair
Whether it is a Cameron BOP, a Shaffer BOP, or Hydril BOP, or any other manufacturer of a BOP, your blowout preventer is relied on to keep your wells under control. One failure can be devastating, and many companies do not recover from its effects. If you suspect that one of your BOPs is in danger of failing, then you need BOP repair as soon as possible. With DOYLES, that repair can be done properly and efficiently, so that you can keep your well under control.
When you send your BOP to us, the first step in BOP repair is to look it over for any damages that may have occurred to it during the transit process. We will then photograph and document the state of the BOP before any other steps are taken. Once this is done, work orders are created and issued. The BOP repair depends on a thorough inspection, so we dismantle and take apart the entire blowout preventer, noting any problem areas we notice along the way. If we find any obviously defective parts, they will be noted and set apart for repair or replacement. Then, the unit is cleaned thoroughly, so that we can perform a full, thorough inspection of all broken-down parts. We will document problems and examine all critical areas, including testing for wear and tear on parts. Once we have a clear picture of the state of your BOP, we send you an estimate of what your BOP repair will cost, and what work needs to be done. Once we have your approval, we can begin working on the unit.
If any pieces are not able to be reused, they will be repaired or replaced to meet government standards. Then, the unit is assembled once again. Finally, we must test our work to ensure that the BOP is performing properly. We run a battery of tests to make sure that it will perform to the highest standards. Once it does, it will be returned to you.
Not only do we perform full BOP repair, but we also provide you with a variety of new and re-manufactured pressure control equipment. All our parts are 100 percent interchangeable with OEM products. For more information on what DOYLES can do for you, contact us today at 800-606-1606.
