Hydraulic Wireline BOP

Wireline BOPs (wireline valves) are positioned on top of the wellhead, at the base of the lubricator rig up. They are a safety device, to be used in the event of problems when running wireline into a well. Designed to provide a positive seal and contain well pressure around stationary wireline or braided cable during well intervention operations. They work on the principle of horizontally opposed rams coming together to centralize the wire and seal around it, whilst the rams form a seal across the bore of the BOP

Features and Benefits:

• Fewer parts
• No small parts exposed to well fluid
• Single piece hydraulic cylinders
• Quick release hydraulic cylinders
• Hydraulic cylinder support rods
• Use of all standard ‘O’ rings and ram seals
