Book excerpt: Blowout Preventer (BOP) is an important petroleum industry device that monitors and controls irregular pressure surge from the well during drilling, well servicing or intervention, completion, recompletion, or on any production work when tubing is to be pulled from the well. Sitting just above the wellhead, is the “Blowout Preventer (BOP).” This complex system is a window to the hydrocarbon reservoir; and it stops impending blowout of the well, when used.
