Introduction
The LXT preventer is designed for drilling and workover service. The LXT preventers are hydraulically operated and can be manually locked by turning a handle or (optional) handwheel (see Figure 3-5 on page 3-8) . The standard trim unit is suitable for internal H2S environments. Units can be manufactured for Arctic to -75 F (-59 C) and full H2S environmental services. Standard units can be retrofitted for full environmental H2S service. NOV preventers are manufactured in accordance with the American Petroleum Institute (API) specification 16A and the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) document NACE Standard MR 0175 (current revision). This manual provides the installation, operation, and maintenance procedures for standard manual lock LXT BOP models with manual lock operators. The manual lock operators are used to close the ram assemblies on the drill pipe and close off the well bore. The manual lock operators require a hydraulic closing pressure of 1,500 psi (103 bar) to accomplish sealing the well bore pressure to the rated working pressure of the preventer. Maximum working pressure for the hydraulic operators is 3,000 psi (207 bar). When the rams are hydraulically closed, the manual lock acme thread locking bolts are rotated clockwise to manually lock the rams in the closed position (see Figure 2-3).

Introduction
BOP Functional Overview

A ram BOP is a safety tool used during the drilling or workover operation to control well bore pressure. The BOP achieves this pressure control by closing its rams to seal around drilling tubulars, an open hole or to shear drilling tubulars under various drilling conditions. Under normal drilling the BOP has little or no internal pressure. However, if the drill bit penetrates a high-pressure oil or gas pocket in the well, the BOP rams can be closed so that the high-pressure returning well fluid (whose pressure has overcome the weight of the drilling mud) will not blow out of the well. The BOP is normally composed of a pressure containing body with a vertical through bore with doors (including door operators) on either side, which hold the BOP rams and their hydraulic operating mechanisms. Flanged or studded API connections are configured on either end of the body at the vertical bore to facilitate connecting the LXT preventer to a BOP Stack or other well control components. The body is generally configured with two outlets (one on each side) under each ram cavity located 90 to the doors, which are routed laterally through the body to the vertical bore forming a well bore fluid outlet path. The side outlets are used in conjunction with the choke and kill valves, choke manifold and other well control equipment to bring the high well bore pressure under control using a variety of well control techniques available to the well operator. (See Figure 2-3 on page 2-3 for BOP general features.) The LXT Ram BOPs are functioned hydraulically by the rig operator using the BOP Control System. BOP controls are generally located on the Drillers and/or Toolpushers Control Panels and at the Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU).
Door Locking System

The LXT BOP door locking system provides simple and fast opening and closing of BOP doors, representing a major step toward easy servicing. Several operational benefits are available from this system. The LXT BOP door locking system departs from the conventional bolting method. The entire door attachment method can be accomplished by a single individual opening and closing the doors. The LXT BOP door locking system replaces axially-loaded threaded members (bolts) with transaxially-loaded bearing members. The bearing members act as locking pins, taking the separation load (generated by well bore pressure) in bearing and shear only, not in tension. The bearing members (locking bars) are contained between the body and door on the BOP, providing a pressure containing lock. The number of locking members (locking bars) is reduced to two, running across the top and bottom of the door (see Figure 2-3 on page 2-3). This replaces the threaded member system of four to ten bolts per door. Actuation or engagement of the two locking members is fast and easy, dramatically reducing the opening and closing time compared to the threaded member system which requires that each bolt be made up separately. The LXT BOP door locking system utilizes a set of lateral grooves located in both the door and BOP body running perpendicular to the ram cavity. These grooves, when aligned, allow load bearing (locking) bars to lock the door and body together. The round lock bars are inserted into or pulled from the grooves to accomplish the manual lock and unlock process. Groove pairs and locking bars are located both above and below the ram cavity spanning the interface between the door and body. (See Figure 2-4 on page 2-5.)

Figure 2-4. Lockbar Grooves
Once the lock bars are removed, the door assembly is pulled away from the BOP body sliding along two support rods allowing access to the ram assembly. The LXT door assembly does not hinge on a bracket, thus providing a manual process that is simple, fast and reliable. For more detail about the door locking system, see the section titled "Opening Doors" on page 3-12 and the section titled "Closing Doors" on page 3-14).
Hydraulic Operators
The LXT BOP is equipped with manual lock hydraulic operators. The manual lock hydraulic operators are located either side of the LXT body (see Figure 2-4). The LXT BOP manual lock hydraulic operators are closed with 1,500 psi (103 bar). This pressure squeezes the ram assembly rubber around the pipe and between the ram assemblies and the upper seat of the ram cavity to seal-off the well bore pressure. Each operator is manually locked in the close position by the clockwise rotation of the acme thread locking bolt (see Figure 2-4). The locking bolts prevent the rams from being opened by the well bore pressure, even when closing hydraulic pressure is removed. The hydraulic operators do not require adjustment for changes in ram types or to compensate for ram wear over time.

Installation and Operation

Preinstallation Inspection
The inspection process includes the activities listed below: 1. Thoroughly clean the LXT manual lock blowout preventer (BOP) before installation. (See the table titled "LXT Ram BOP Cleaning and Lubricating Instructions" on page 4-27.) 2. Clean and inspect the sealing surface of the ring groove for minor pits and scratches; remove these with emery cloth. If there is excessive damage, call a National Oilwell Varco (NOV) service representative. 3. Clean and inspect studs and nuts. Replace any that are damaged. 4. Ensure the correct size rams are in each cavity. The part number is stamped into the block of each ram. 5. Thoroughly clean and lubricate the inside of the LXT BOP. 6. Ensure that all support rods are installed prior to BOP operation.
in g
Wa r n
Operation of BOP without support rods in place will effect sealing characteristics and create a drop hazard of door assemblies, which is extremely dangerous to personnel.
7. Determine if BOP has been properly maintained or condition is unknown and then proceed to one of the following, as applicable: the section titled "Condition of BOP is Unknown" on page 3-2; or the section titled "BOP Maintained on Scheduled Maintenance Program" on page 3-2.
3-1
www.nov.com
Condition of BOP is Unknown

If the condition of the BOP is unknown (e.g., stored for some length of time, has not been maintained on a scheduled maintenance program, etc.), perform a three-month maintenance check, as described in the section titled "Three-Month Preventive Maintenance" on page 4-4. The three-month maintenance check includes: Visual inspection and thorough greasing the inside of the BOP; Performing a field wellbore pressure test (see the section titled "Field Wellbore Pressure Test" on page 4-9); Performing an hydraulic pressure test (see the section titled "Hydraulic Pressure Test" on page 4-11); Operate the manual locks (see the section titled "Manual Locking the Rams" on page 3-12).
BOP Maintained on Scheduled Maintenance Program

If the BOP has been properly maintained (scheduled maintenance program), a monthly maintenance check is all that is required. (See the section titled "Monthly Preventive Maintenance" on page 4-3.) The monthly maintenance check includes: Performing a field wellbore pressure test (see the section titled "Field Wellbore Pressure Test" on page 4-9); o Checking for external hydraulic leaks while pressure testing.
Verify that door lock bars are propperly lubricated. Failure to heed this caution may cause difficulty manually rotating the lock bar.
i i
Cleaning, inspection and testing of the LXT BOP immediately after completion of drilling operations reduces installation time on the next well (see the section titled "Cleaning and Storage of the LXT BOP" on page 4-25).

Installation Instructions
1. Install BOP right-side-up. The LXT models have lifting lugs labeled TOP, which are above and to the right of the side outlets (see Figure 3-1). On all LXT models: Externally, the side outlets for the choke and kill lines are below the rams; Internally, the skids in the ram compartments are below the rams, and ram sealing areas are located in the top of the ram cavity.
in g
Wa r n
If the BOP is installed upside-down, it will not contain wellbore pressure.
Side Outlet

2. Lift the LXT manual lock BOP. On models with lifting lugs cast into the body, the BOP is lifted by wrapping a chain or lifting strap of sufficient strength around the lug (see Figure 3-1 on page 3-3).
Do not lift the BOP by the hydraulic operators. This will damage the operator cylinder, piston assembly and/or the ram shaft and prevent the BOP from working correctly. Do not lift the BOP with the slider bars.This will damage the slider bars and prevent the BOP from working correctly.
i i
For BOP weight information, see the table titled "BOP Characteristics" on page 5-2. Use a chain or cable capable of lifting the weight given.
3. Make flanged and studded connections: (See Figure 3-2.) a. Install the ring gasket dry. See the table titled "API Ring Gaskets" on page 5-15, for the proper part number. b. c. Install the BOP on the mating flange. Lubricate the stud threads and nut faces with Moly Paste Lube 503 (P/N 7403582) or grease specified in API BUL 5A2: Thread Compounds.

Operation
Hydraulic Operation
The rams can be hydraulically closed and manually locked. Under normal operating conditions, 1,500 psi (103 bar) hydraulic pressure is recommended. This operating pressure will close any model LXT BOP and contain its rated wellbore pressure. Hydraulic operating pressure may be increased to 3,000 psi (207 bar) on any LXT BOP, if desired. LXT Fluid Volume Requirements
Working Pressure 5,000 psi 3,000 psi Bore Size 7" 7" Piston Size 5" 5" Closing Ratio 8.45 8.45 Gallons to Open .32 .32 Gallons to Close .39 .39
Hydraulic Fluid
Hydraulic fluid under pressure drives the pistons, which then close and opens the rams. The hydraulic fluid used should have the following characteristics: Non-freezing in cold climates Lubricity to reduce wear Chemical compatibility with the elastomer seals Corrosion inhibitors for metal surface protection.
Recommended Hydraulic Fluid

Hydraulic oil with viscosity between 200 and 300 SSU at 100 F (38 C). In the LXT closed hydraulic system, there is no waste of oil and fluid costs are negligible. Where pollution due to accidental spillage of hydraulic fluid is a problem, use a water soluble oil or premix control fluid. To prevent freezing at lower temperatures, adding ethylene glycol without any additives is recommended. Do not use commercial antifreeze mixes.
Emergency Fluid Recommendations

In an emergency, where hydraulic fluid is lost and the BOP must be operated, the fluids listed below can be substituted: 1. When using hydraulic oil: Add motor oil (SAE 10W is recommended but heavier oils can be used) Add water if motor oil is not available, but after the emergency, the hydraulic system must be flushed and refilled with hydraulic oil 2. When using a water soluble mixture or premix fluid, add more water.
3-9
www.nov.com
3. After the emergency, replace the fluid in the system with the proper mixture.
Do not use the following fluids: Diesel fuel or kerosenethese fluids cause the rubber parts to swell and deteriorate. Drilling mudthe grit in this fluid will cause the pistons and cylinders to wear and gall rapidly.
Closing and Opening the Rams

Closing the Rams
1. Apply 1,500 psi (103 bar) closing hydraulic pressure (see the section titled "Manual Locking the Rams" on page 3-12). 2. Verify that the rams close by observing the inward movement of the piston tail rod (see Figure 3-6 on page 3-11).
Opening the Rams
Before opening the rams, turn both locking shafts counterclockwise to ensure that the rams are unlocked. If the rams are partly locked, the locking shaft threads may be damaged when the rams are hydraulically opened.
1. Apply 1,500 psi (103 bar) opening hydraulic pressure. 2. Verify that the rams open by observing the outward movement of the piston tail rods (see Figure 3-6 on page 3-11).

Troubleshooting
For a list of common problems likely to be encountered during operation, including possible causes and corrective action, see "Troubleshooting-LXT Manual Lock BOP" table below: Troubleshooting-LXT Manual Lock BOP
Problem Will not hold well pressure Possible Cause BOP is upside-down. Correction When BOP is right side up, the side outlets are below the skids. Inside the BOP, the side outlets are below the rams (see the section titled "Installation Instructions" on page 3-3). Check ram rubbers and replace if necessary (see the section titled "Ram Assembly Removal and Inspection" on page 4-19. Check seat sealing area for cuts and sealing surface scratches. Smooth minor damage with emery cloth (see the section titled "Three-Month Preventive Maintenance" on page 4-4). Check the weep holes in the doors for leakage. Replace the ram shaft seal if necessary. A temporary repair can be made by energizing the plastic packing, but the seal should be replaced as soon as possible (see the section titled "Emergency Ram Shaft Packing Repair" on page 4-17, Figure 4-1 on page 4-4). Check for leaks between the doors and the body. Replace the door seals as required (see the section titled "Monthly Preventive Maintenance" on page 4-3 and the section titled "Door Seal Replacement" on page 4-16). Install isolation valve in the pump line close to the BOP. Install a pressure gauge between the isolation valve and the BOP. No indication of pressure drop indicates a leak in the test unit. Remove the closing line from BOP and pump a small amount of hydraulic fluid through it. If no fluid appears, the line is plugged. Clear the closing line. Remove opening line from the BOP and apply closing hydraulic pressure. 1. If hydraulic fluid spurts out of BOP briefly and stops and rams close, the opening hydraulic line is plugged. Call a NOV service representative. 2. If hydraulic fluid spurts out of BOP continuously, the piston seal is damaged. The rams would also move, but there would be no pressure buildup. Call a NOV service representative. Open the door(s) and inspect for cement, metal fragments, etc. Clean the ram cavity. Thoroughly clean bars and grooves then re-lubricate. A new application of Perma-Silk G (solid film lubricant) maybe needed. Unlock rams. Check for damage to the locking shafts, threads, or bent shaft (see the section titled "Three-Month Preventive Maintenance" on page 4-4).

9. Close the door.
Emergency Ram Shaft Packing Repair

An emergency repair can be made by reducing the hydraulic pressure to 0 psi (0 bar) and activating the secondary ram shaft seal on the BOP (see Figure 4-12 on page 4-18). As soon as possible after the emergency, call a NOV service representative to repack the ram shaft. 1. Remove the pipe plug from the port on the door.
i i
On the LXT, the secondary seal port is located between the lock bar gooves on the side of the door.
2. With the pipe plug removed, a second socket head screw plug is exposed. Tighten this clockwise to inject the secondary ram shaft seal.

Cleaning and Inspection of Rams

1. Clean the rams. 2. Inspect the ram rubbers for damage such as cracking, gouging, chunking, or splitting. Replace the rubbers if damaged (see the section titled "Changing Pipe and Blind Ram Rubbers" on page 4-24).
Installation of Rams
1. Thoroughly grease all ram exterior surfaces and the ram shaft-mounting slot. 2. Grease the inside of the BOP body at the following locations: Ram shaft foot. Side pads in the body cavity. Skids in the bottom of the body cavity. Ram sealing seat in the top of the body cavity. 3. Clean and oil the door face with SAE 10W oil; replace the door seal if damaged (see the section titled "Door Seal Replacement" on page 4-16). 4. Clean and oil the door sealing surface on the body with SAE 10W oil.
Do not use grease on door faces or sealing surfaces.

5. Lift the ram assembly into position, then slide the assembly horizontally onto the ram shaft foot (see Figure 4-18 on page 4-22).
i i
Grease the support rods before and after opening and closing the door assembly. Clean and grease all the lock bars and grooves before closing the doors.
6. Manually close the door of the preventer and replace the lock bars and retaining caps. See Figure 4-19.

Changing Pipe and Blind Ram Rubbers

New One-piece Design
1. Clean the ram. 2. Insert a screwdriver or small pry bar under the end of the top seal and pry up and out of the ram block. (See Figure 4-20.)
Pry up on each end to remove from face seal and ram block.
Figure 4-20. Remove Top Seal and Face Seal
3. Remove the top seal until the pins are out of the face seal. 4. Remove the face seal. 5. Clean and lubricate the seal areas of the ram block with SAE 10W oil. 6. Install the new face seal. 7. Install the new top seal. Align the seal pins with the holes in the face seal. Tap the new seal into the block seal area.
Offset Rams for Dual Completions

Single offset rams have only one bore, which is offset to API centerline standards. This allows complete control of a dual completion when the second tubing string is to be run later. Dual offset rams are furnished to API centerline standards for complete control of a dual completion when both tubing strings are run together. Contact your local Shaffer sales representative for delivery dates. Be sure to specify the following when ordering: BOP size and working pressure. If single or dual offset rams are required. Tubing OD and type of coupling so the coupling OD can be determined. Casing size and weight so that the casing ID can be determined. Tubing hanger centerline dimensions.

Maintenance
Aluminum Drill Pipe Rams

Since aluminum drill pipe has an oversize OD, these rams must have oversize bores in both the ram blocks and in the ram rubber extrusion plates. Contact your local NOV sales representative for part numbers and the following: BOP size and working pressure. Aluminum drill pipe OD.
Storing the LXT BOP

LXT BOP Data Location
For the location of BOP data, see Figure 4-21 on page 4-26. Operation information is contained on plates mounted on the cylinder heads. The body part number is located on the body. Most components of the LXT BOP are stamped with their part numbers and other manufacturing data.
i i
Always give the serial number or assembly part numbers and size of the LXT BOP when ordering parts.
Cleaning and Storage of the LXT BOP

A BOP should be cleaned immediately after it is taken out of service. Proper cleaning of a BOP before it is stored will increase its life significantly. If a BOP is in an active drilling program, this cleaning should be done approximately every three months or when the rig is between wells see the table titled "LXT Ram BOP Cleaning and Lubricating Instructions" on page 4-27. 1. Open the doors and remove the rams (see the section titled "Removal of Rams" on page 4-19).
If the BOP is not flanged to a wellhead or securely fastened, open only one door at a time. The weight of two open doors may tip the BOP over.
Store rubber parts in their natural shape. Do not hang o-rings on nails or hooks. Storage areas should be kept as dry as possible. Oil, grease or other fluids should be stored elsewhere to avoid spillage. If storage is for a long duration, it is recommended that rubber parts be placed in sealed containers or be given a protective surface covering impervious to temperature or light, This will extend the shelf life.
4-25
www.nov.com
Maintenance
Rubber parts should be used on a first in, first out basis. 2. Inspect rubber parts according to the instructions listed below: Each rubber part must be inspected before it is put into service. Bend, stretch, or compress each part and look for cracks. Observe if the rubber part has a hard skin or small cracks which may become chalky or bark like in appearance.
i i
Some cracks are not obvious, but when the rubber part is bent, stretched or compressed, very minute cracks will become apparent.
