Drillpipe rotation can cause severe erosion on
the inside of the casing. Clearly, this can
result in a loss of casing pressure integrity.
11
Casing Heads and Spools
  • After surface casing is set, the casing is cut
  • And wellhead is installed
  • BOPE is N/U on the wellhead

12

13
Stack Equipment
  • Basic functions
  • Seal the well against the drillstring or open
    hole and contain well pressure
  • Provide a a full-bore opening to allow passage
    of drilling and testing tools
  • Permit unrestricted flow of fluids to the choke
    line while the preventers are closed.

14
Stack Equipment
  • Basic functions
  • Allow drillstring movement when the well is
    shut-in to prevent sticking or allow stripping
  • Provide a way to allow fluids to be pumped into
    the well below a closed preventer
  • Convey drilling fluid to the bell nipple and
    flowline

Example 7.2
  • Given
  • Closing ratio for rams is 7.3
  • SIP 9,000 psi
  • Closing friction 200 psi
  • Control-fluid friction loss 300 psi
  • What is the minimum closing pressure?
  • Eq. 7.6 yields
  • pcl 1,733 psig

Control System Equipment and Design
  • Accumulator Design Principles
  • Other Components
  • Test Procedures

21
Accumulator Design Principles
  • Store hydraulic fluid under pressure to operate
    the BOPE.
  • Most utilize a precharge pressure of 1,000 psig
    and have a working pressure of 3,000 psig.
  • Precharge supplies the driving energy when the
    bottle is fully depleted

Low-Pressure Equipment
  • Manifold Lines
  • Mud-Gas Separators
  • Degassers

31
Mud-Gas Separators
  • Primary means of separating gas from mud while
    controlling a kick, drilling underbalanced, or
    circulating large connection/trip gas.

32

33
Excessive friction pressure in flare line
Eq 7.8, The Weymouth equation can be used to
predict gas friction pressure
can cause evacuation of the separator and gas
can blow through mud outlet
The allowable separator pressure is equal to pml

This equation is based on giving the mud enough
retention time for the gas to migrate upwards
into the upper part of the chamber.
39
Degassers
  • Remove gas from the mud just downstream of the
    shale shaker

Equipment Arrangement Design and Philosophy
  • Diverters
  • Stack Arrangement
  • Kill Line Considerations
  • Choke Line and Manifold Design

42
Diverters
  • Diverters are used when the decision has been
    made to NOT shut-in the well on a kick
  • Usually done prior to setting surface casing
  • Fear is that shutting in the well would result
    in formation fracture and broaching to the
    surface

43
Diverter System
Diverter Lines should be sized as large as
practical for two reasons. 1. To keep two phase
friction down, and, 2. Prevent plugging
44
Diverters
  • When a well is put on diverter, the well is out
    of control, and the goal is to restore control
    as quickly as possible.
  • This is done by pumping mud as fast as the
    pumps can while increasing the mud weight.
