BOP shearing capabilities (info - data sharing of BOP actual pipe shearing data)

20 September 2016

Folks,

Just want to know whether there is a global or public databases where certain BOP OEM has published formulae for calculating shearing pressures , but also the actual shear data info for comparison under controlled conditions.

Is there any documented evidence or info that pipe shearing by BOP incidents had documented that BOP shearing pressures are lower than that calculated or provided by BOP OEM?

You are asking for shear capabilities at a time when a number of vendors are introducing new shear rams to the industry. For example, CBOP, Houston, Ennovate Shear Seal Assembly, Aberdeen are but two new innovative shear rams, others are from Cameron and NOV, suggest you embark on a dedicated research path to get the latest engineering bulletins and shearing reports which are available (mainly in the public domain)

I´m afraid I can´t give straight answers. I can only redirect you to the sources. Obviously, the Preventer Manufacturers did have Engineering Bulletins covering that very issue.
