Blowout Preventers<br />
Blowout preventers (BOPs), in conjunction<br />
with other <strong>equipment</strong> and techniques, are<br />
used to close the well in and allow the<br />
crew to <strong>control</strong> a kick before it becomes a<br />
blowout.<br />
Blowout preventer <strong>equipment</strong> should be<br />
designed to:<br />
1. Close the top of the hole.<br />
2. Control the release of fluids.<br />
3. Permit pumping into the hole.<br />
4. Allow movement of the inner string of pipe.
