Rovshan's picture

Hello ,

I would like to share an incident that happened recently in our rig. 

Facts Pressure Testing of
Shaffer BOP to 15000 psi ongoing. When pressure reached 4700 psi the lower
single ram door was blown off the BOP. Causes It was found that the door
locking mechanism was not engaged, due to human error. Corrective
measures/learnings

• Improve safety culture on
board

• Improve procedures for
maintenance and operation of BOP

• Crew training including OJTs

• Only designated personnel to
operate door lock systems

• Improved signage and indicators Additional information Barriers
in place – No injury to personnel Pressure tests always performed prior to
putting well control equipment in service. The incident potential is considered
high
