Subsea BOP Pressure Testing - Leak at Low but not Hi Pressure

05 July 2016

Hello,

Can there be a case that while pressure testing VBR at low pressure you observe a leak but while pressure testing at higher pressure you don’t observe the leak.

If yes what is/are reason/s for the leak. And can this impact the integrity/performance of the BOP.

Thank YOU.
