What is the Stripper?
Primary well control barrier.

Dynamic seal around the CT against
the WHP.
The seal is obtained by energizing the
stripper inserts.

Stripper Assembly Specifications
The size depends on the bore ID (2.5, 3.06, 4.06
or higher).
Dressed for a specific size of CT OD.
Hydraulic actuated (0 5,000psi).
10 or 15 Kpsi working pressure.

Packing life depends on:
Hydraulic pressure.
Lubrication. HPHT stripper insert
Bushings condition.

The Brass Bushings
Avoid contact friction
between the CT and the
Stripper body.
Minimize CT abrasion.
Guide the CT while stabbing.
Split
Decrease chance of
generating sparks.
Help prevent the extrusion
of the inserts.

Conventional Stripper
Specifications
WHP acts on the
interior section of
the packing and
helps seal (less
pressure to pack).

Side Door Stripper Advantages
Easier access to the
packing assembly.
Extended brass.
Depending on the
position of the piston,
the WHP will either
Help packing.
Have to be overcome
before packing off.

Sidewinder Stripper
Reduce overall stack height by 50% (over side door).
The stripper elements are energized from the side
Retractable packers and bushings full bore capability
which enables a relatively large insert to be used.
Easy packer, bushing change: Hydraulic pressure is
used to back the actuator and packer out of body
Normally used as tandem (secondary).

Radial Stripper
Has been replaced by the sidewinder.
Disadvantage : ID restricted by bushings

The Quad Bop
Typically BOPs are equipped
with four set of rams:
Blinds (no CT in the BOP body).
Shear Rams (close on and cut
through the CT).
Slip Rams (close on and hold the
CT).
Pipe Rams (close on and seal
around the CT with the CT in
place).

CT Cutters
Three models are currently available for shearing up to 3.50" OD

tubing
Hydraulically operated cutter comes in a configuration as light as 42
lbs for easy handling.
Generates over 60,000 lbs of force
Requires only one hydraulic hose connection
Air spring returns the blades to the full open position when hydraulic
pressure is vented
HW Exercise
Which are the forces available to shear the coiled tubing with
the normal BOP ram and with a booster equipped ram:
a. Without Booster
Hydraulic Ram : 3 diam, Area = 7.069 sq.in.
Piston Rod : 1 diam, Area = 0.7854 sq.in.
Well head pressure : 3500 psi
Force = 3500 psi x 0.7854 sqin = 2.749 lbf on piston rod
So, to start moving the Ram: 2,749 lbf/ 7.069 sq.in = 389psi
from the hydraulic circuit is necessary
If hydraulic pressure in BOP is set to 2,000 psi:
2,000 psi - 389psi = 1,611 psi is available to act on the
shear blade.
The force is then: 1,611 psi x 7.0669 sq in = 11,388 lbf

Example (continued)
b. With booster cylinder:
Booster piston rod : 1.375 diam, Area = 1.485 sqin
Booster Hyd piston : 4.375 diam, Area= 15.033 sqin
Net booster area : = 13.548 sqin
Force booster = 2,000 psi x 13.548 sqin = 27,096 lbf
With the extra force given by the cylinder booster, the total
available force now at the shear blades is:
27, 096 lbf + 11.388 lbf = 38,484 lbf

HW Exercise
Assume Quad BOP 2.5 with the following hydraulic accumulator :
Gas precharge pressure : 1,400 PSI
Accumulator Volume : 10 gal
BOP Hyd cir. operation pressure : 2,700 PSI
BOP minimum Hyd. pressure : 1,500 PSI
This BOP has the following hydraulic rams characteristics :

Volume to close pair of rams : 31.3 cuin / 0.135 gal
Volume to open pair of rams : 27.9 cuin / 0.121 gal
Complete ram cycle ( close + open ) : 59.2 cuin / 0.256 gal
How many times can the BOP rams be cycles in case of a power pack failure ?
How does the pre-charge pressure affect the accumulator performance ?
How does the accumulator volume affect the accumulator performance ?
