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 />
down<br />
The riser and BOP will fall<br />

Make sure the riser pipes are<br />
stacked <strong>in</strong> the right direction<br />
