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.
