BOP control systems

Oilfield services provider Oceaneering International is to provide a Transocean subsidiary with subsea blowout preventer control systems for three existing semisubmersibles. The contracts cover three discrete hydraulic systems.

Transocean sought out Oceaneering’s BOP line in order to comply with regulation API 53, which requires subsea BOPs with a single shear ram to be upgraded or replaced. Oceaneering expects to deliver the systems 1Q 2014.

Oceaneering’s multiplex control pod consists of electronics modules (SEM) two electro-hydraulic housings, and the lower valve unit. The unit is capable of operating in 12,500ft of water and has several paths of redundancy to minimize the potential for singlepoint failures.
