Delayed operation Make sure riser pipes are<br />

present<br />

This may lead <strong>to</strong> a delay <strong>in</strong><br />

the operation and <strong>in</strong> worst<br />

case dropp<strong>in</strong>g the BOP<br />

Delayed operation and<br />

possibil<strong>it</strong>y dropp<strong>in</strong>g the<br />

BOP.<br />

The riser is not screwed<br />

properly <strong>to</strong> the BOP. The<br />

BOP may fall down<br />

Threads are damaged and<br />

may not hold the BOP as<br />

<strong>in</strong>tended. BOP may fall<br />

down<br />

The riser may leak or be<br />

damaged.<br />

The riser is not connected <strong>to</strong><br />

the BOP<br />

The riser and BOP will fall<br />
