Blowout Preventers

An Industry Leader in Blowout Protection

Blowout preventers from Hydril Pressure Control were introduced in the 1930s when we developed the first hydraulically operated BOP and the annular BOP. We have made substantial investments in blowout prevention research and development ever since, targeting high-pressure and other critical applications. Today, Hydril Pressure Control provides complete BOP stacks for use in water depths to 12,500 ft.

Annular BOPs

Hydril annulars are best known for their exceptional ability to handle extremely high pressures and temperatures on the surface and subsea. A top-of-the-line GX® model has passed the API pressure test at 270° F.

Ram BOPs

Hydril ram BOPs protect personnel and equipment by reliably stopping unexpected surges of oil, gas and drilling mud from the well bore. A Hydril ram BOP has passed API temerature tests to 500° F using fixed-bore rams.

Subsea Stack Test Valve

The Subsea Stack Test Valve completes subsea pressure tests in about an hour without pulling the drill pipe and setting a test plug. It also can be reconfigured in the field to be run as a conventional ram BOP cavity.
