The Type U/ LWS/ SL Ram Blowout Preventer (BOP) is the most widely used blowout preventer in the world today. Its simple, compact design makes it well suited for subsea or surface drilling operations. The Ram assembly provides a pressure-energized seal with maximum contact area to the drill pipe, casing, or tubing. This ensures a lower rubber pressure to the pipe and increased seal life.
The Type NL Annular Blowout Preventer is designed for safe well pressure control during drilling and workover operations. The Type NL features 5 main components: lower housing, upper housing, piston, adapter ring, and packing element. All components are designed and built for ease of maintenance and ultimate reliability.
