Īll low-pressure tests must be between 250 and 350 psi. The table in this paragraph (b) outlines your pressure test requirements.Īccording to the following procedures. Each individual pressure test must hold pressure long enough to demonstrate the tested component(s) holds the required pressure. You must begin each test by conducting the low-pressure test then transition to the high-pressure test. When you pressure test the BOP system, you must conduct a low-pressure test and a high-pressure test for each BOP component (excluding test rams and non-sealing shear rams). (5) The District Manager may require more frequent testing if conditions or your BOP performance warrant. (iv) Submission of quarterly reports of the data collected pursuant to paragraphs (a)(4)(i)(iii) to the BSEE Regional Supervisor, District Field Operations. (iii) A failure tracking and resolution system that includes detailed failure reports and identification of recurring problems and (i) Condition monitoring tools, including continuous surveillance of sensor readings from the BOP control system, real-time condition analysis and displays, functional pressure signal analysis, historical sensor data As long as your plan is consistent with recognized engineering and industry practice, BSEE will approve your request if it includes the following: Your request must demonstrate that you have developed a BOP health monitoring plan that includes certain system capabilities. To obtain BSEE approval, you must submit a request to the appropriate BSEE Regional Supervisor, District Field Operations. (4) In lieu of meeting the schedule established in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, you may request that BSEE approve a 21-day BOP testing frequency.
You must indicate in your APD which casing strings and liners meet these criteria You may omit this pressure test requirement if you did not remove the BOP stack to run the casing string or liner, the required BOP test pressures for the next section of the hole are not greater than the test pressures for the previous BOP test, and the time elapsed between tests has not exceeded 14 days (or 30 days for blind shear rams).
(3) Before drilling out each string of casing or a liner. You must begin to test your BOP system before midnight on the 14th day (or 30th day for your blind shear rams) following the conclusion of the previous test (2) Before 14 days have elapsed since your last BOP pressure test, or 30 days since your last blind shear ram BOP pressure test. Your BOP system (this includes the choke manifold, kelly-type valves, inside BOP, and drill string safety valve) must meet the following testing requirements: § 250.737 What are the BOP system testing requirements?
