BOP TEST PROCEDURES FOR WORKOVER RIGS
- Perform BOP function & accumulator test.
- Clean & install 2-way check (BPV) into hanger. The check valve condition &
installation to be witnessed by the Khalda Company Man.
- Fill kill line, BOP & choke line with fluid.
- All components will be tested to a low of 250 psi & a high of 3000 psi 5000 psi
(depending on wellhead, 3 or 5k). With the exception of the annular element which
will be high tested to 2000 psi.
- Pressure test BOP kill valve, blind rams, both BOP choke valves to required low & high
pressure for 5 minutes each test, through kill line. Bleed off pressure.
- Open BOP choke valve to closed chokes on kill manifold.
- Install ported test joint w/ TIW valve on top & reversible test plug (pancake) on bottom.
- Pressure test pipe rams, TIW valve, both manifold chokes & first gut line valve to
required low & high pressure for 5 minutes each test. Bleed off pressure.
- The above step will be repeated when rams are changed or any lines or valves to
the BOP system are broken apart.
- Open TIW valve & test mud line back to mud pump. Close valve at mud pump if
pressure is leaking through pump.
- Open kill manifold chokes & first gut line valve to closed outside manifold valves &
closed second gut line valve.
- Pressure test annular, both outside manifold valves & second gut line valve to required
low & high pressure for 5 minutes each test. Bleed off pressure.
- Pressure test to be chart recorded, witnessed & signed, by the Toolpusher & the Khalda
Company Man. Test chart to be sent to Khalda Salam Base Superintendent for review
