The BOP Control System plays a critical role in the drilling process. The consequences will be drastic if anything goes wrong while operating the BOP control system. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the basic and main components of the system. You can call this system a fail-safe option for your drilling projects.

Components of the BOP Control System

The following are the three main components of the BOP Control System:

  • Hydraulic pump

It will create pressure to build fluid flow in the hydraulic system.

  • Accumulator

This unit is basically near the hydraulic pump, and it would be a backup power provider component. When the hydraulic pump stops working, the accumulator will temporarily provide power.

  • Control valve

It is a device that helps regulate fluid pressure and its flow in the hydraulic system. With the BOP Control System, you can get electro-pneumatic, pneumatic, and wireless control depending on your drilling requirements.

What does the Hydraulic Choke Valve do?

You get control of the hydraulic flow through the hydraulic choke valve, the main component of the BOP Control System. With this valve, you will get control of the nozzle, and it will also allow you to stabilize the pressure in the blowout preventer control system. By reducing the pressure fluctuation of the hydraulic system, you can control the flow rate of the liquid.

This step will help improve the system stability and precision to ensure the nozzle spray quality. The hydraulic choke valve plays the main role in the BOP Control System to work out.

BPO control system with API Spec 16D guidelines

While getting the BOP control system and checking the equipment, ensure that the equipment comes with API Spec 16D guidelines. These are the guidelines or protocols to follow while designing, manufacturing, and testing the control system used in drilling projects. These guidelines ensure that the BOP system has been designed perfectly for the gas and oil industry and won't fail you.

It will minimize your chances of failure, everyone else working on the rigs will be safer, and there will be fewer chances for them to get injuries. You can conduct your drilling operations more safely and efficiently if the BOP control system meets the API Spec 16D guidelines.

Choose the right BOP control system model

Different types of BOP control system models are available in the industry, but it would be wise to get a model that meets API Spec 16D. More than 70 types of BPO control systems can control objects between 2 to 15 available and can handle harsh weather conditions in offshore and onshore operations. So, make the right choice.

Understanding and operating BOP Control System is not easy because you will have to stay alert with your every move. Otherwise, there will be drastic consequences. As we have discussed, the system's main components will help you understand which component plays the main role in the drilling process and how the BOP Control System needs to work.
