Filed:

Nov 11, 2015

Appl. No.:

14/938599

Inventors:

- Houston TX, US
James Matthew Nolan - Houston TX, US
David Samuel Kindt - Houston TX, US
Zachary William Stewart - Houston TX, US

Assignee:

Hydril USA Distribution, LLC - Houston TX

International Classification:

E21B 33/06

Abstract:

Blowout preventer (BOP) systems and methods for providing additional redundancy and reliability are provided. A BOP system for providing additional redundancy can include a first set of components including a BOP control pod with a primary regulator and a secondary regulator, where the primary regulator and the secondary regulator are arranged in a parallel configuration; a hydraulic supply line in communication with the BOP control pod; a pod select valve in communication with the primary regulator and the secondary regulator; and a bypassable hydraulic regulator in communication with the pod select valve; and a second set of components, the bypassable hydraulic regulator disposed between the pod select valve and the second set of components, where a hydraulic regulator bypass line bypasses the bypassable hydraulic regulator between the pod select valve and the second set of components.

Abstract:

Methods and systems for accurately measuring and monitoring accumulated volume of hydraulic fluid in a blowout preventer (BOP) system, specifically for a function of interest, are disclosed. One method includes initializing a state machine algorithm, the state machine algorithm responsive to a BOP function of interest being activated; measuring an initial hydraulic flow rate baseline and an initial pressure baseline to create a hydraulic impedance variable for use in the state machine algorithm; monitoring an aggregate hydraulic flow rate and pressure of the BOP system over time; applying the hydraulic impedance variable to negate BOP system hydraulic flows not related to the BOP function of interest; and applying the state machine algorithm to determine when the BOP function of interest has been completed responsive to a total accumulated volume of hydraulic fluid.
