General Applications
The following applications apply to typical WU type BOPs.
Side outlets up to 4-1/16” in size can be provided beneath each set of rams on either or both
sides of WU BOPs. Side outlets can be studded, flange, or clamp hub.
Flanges conform to API standard 6A and/or 16A. Hubs conform to API 16A or applicable
standards. Type 6BX flanges are standard for 10,000 and 15,000 psi working pressures and
for 5,000 psi for 13-5/8” and larger bore BOPs.
Hydraulic control connections for operation of rams and bonnets are 1” NPT. There are 2
connections for each set of rams. Wedgelock connections are 1/2” NPT.
The dimensions table does not include spacers between rams for double ram models. WU
BOPs with spacers to clear tool joints available upon request.
Large bore shearing bonnets are available for shearing high-strength pipe.
The WU BOP can be outfitted with blind rams, shearing/blind rams, pipe, casing, or tubing
rams, or variable-bore rams.

Types of Rams
WU BOP Pipe Rams
WU BOP pipe rams are available to fit a wide
variety of tubing, drill pipe, drill collar, and
casing sizes. All rams are suitable for H2S
service per NACE specifications. WU BOP ram Packer
packers are self-feeding with a large reserve of
Ram
elastomer to ensure a long-lasting seal under
all conditions. Ram packers lock into place and Figure 9: View of Pipe Ram Assembly
Top Seal
WU BOP Variable Bore Rams
WU BOP variable bore rams can be used to
seal on a range of pipe. WOM’s WU BOP vari-
able bore ram packers contain steel reinforcing
inserts similar to those in the annular BOP
packer. The inserts rotate inward when the
rams are closed so the steel provides support Packer
for the rubber which seals against the pipe.

Figure 18: View of Hydraulic Control System Ram Close Circuit in Red
Ram Open Circuit in Green
Hydraulic Circuits
The ram close hydraulic circuit is shown in red on the above caption. The closing ratio (the
ratio of well pressure to operating piston pressure needed to close rams) is 7:1. The ram
closing pressure also serves to open the bonnets for ram change. When the bonnet bolts are
unscrewed and closing pressure is applied, pressure pushes the ram inward and at the same
time moves the bonnet away from the preventer body. Even though the ram moves inward,
the bonnet stroke is sufficient to bring the ram into the clear for handling. An eyebolt is
furnished on each end of the Preventer body which can be screwed into the top of each ram
for lifting.
The ram open hydraulic circuit is shown in green on the above caption. Ram opening
pressure also serves to close the bonnets. Hydraulic control pressure draws the
bonnets tightly against the preventer body; bolts serve only to hold bonnets closed. An
important feature of the Type “WU” hydraulic system is that the rams are pulled back close
to the bonnets before the bonnets begin moving toward the Preventer body. Because of this,
rams never interfere with pipe in the hole or otherwise obstruct the vertical bore. Rams
may be changed, in an emergency, when the well is blowing, thereby increasing the security
provided by the preventers.
Pressure Required
The rated continuous working pressure for the Type “WU” BOP operating system is 1,500
psi. Pressures of 300 to 500 psi normally provide satisfactory operation. Pressures in excess
of 1,500 psi may be required in 10,000 and 15,000 psi preventers to close the rams against
high well pressures. In emergencies, pressures up to 4,500 psi can be applied to the hydraulic
controls. For optimum seal life, the applied hydraulic pressure should be limited to 1,500 psi,
especially when it is customary to hold “ram open” pressure on preventers
continuously. When a 3,000 psi accumulator is used to store maximum energy for preventer
operation, a pressure regulator should be used to control pressure applied to the preventer.
TM
Operating Fluids
Light hydraulic oil is the recommended operating fluid for Type “WU” preventers. Any type
is satisfactory except fuel oil, which causes rubber seals to swell and deteriorate. The use
of water as an operating medium is satisfactory provided soluble oil is added to prevent
corrosion and antifreeze is added when necessary. Should an emergency require the use of
drilling mud pressure to operate a Preventer, the Preventer should be torn down, thoroughly
cleaned and all seals carefully checked for excessive wear as soon as practical thereafter.
5. The maximum hydraulic operating pressure limit is 3000 psi to operate rams.

Options on BOPs
A. Boosters
WU BOP Boosters are designed to extend the life cycle of the ram packers, while
enhancing the shearing force of the BOP. WU BOP Boosters come equipped with a
booster piston stop (7) that provides the same blow as the BOP’s operating piston,
therefore, the standard shearing lock mechanism can be mounted on the exterior end
of the WU BOP Boosters.
B. Large Bore
The Large Bore bonnet is an option over the standard bonnet if there is a need to in
crease shearing force of the BOP. The Large Bore bonnet has a larger cavity than the
standard bonnet and does not have a separate operating cylinder. Instead the
operating piston sits directly in the larger bonnet cavity for increased area and
subsequent force of BOP.
C. Seal Carrier
A Bonnet Seal Carrier may be mounted onto any WU BOP size and is available as an
alternative to the regular bonnet seal (2). The seal carrier holds 2 seals with one seal
sitting inside the bore of the WU BOP Body and the other seal positioned inside the
bore of the intermediate flange. WU BOPs equipped with seal carrier require less
torque to the bonnet bolts.
For more information regarding boosters, large bore and/or carrier seals
please contact your WOM representative.

Operation & Maintenance
Care Between Wells: Whenever a preventer is removed from a drilling hookup, it should be
carefully cleaned, and the rams should be removed, cleaned, inspected, and lubricated.
Also, the ram bore should be cleaned, inspected and lubricated. Any burrs or galled spots
should be smoothed. Rams may be stored in the preventer or separately. The operating system
should be thoroughly flushed to remove sediment or foreign material. Type “WU” Preventers
should be transported with rams closed and locking screws run in to avoid accidental bending of
locking screws.
Periodic Overhaul: Annually, or more often depending on the type of service, a preventer
should be completely disassembled and all parts cleaned, inspected and reconditioned or replaced.
All rubber seals should be replaced except ram packings which should be replaced according
to condition. Any metal parts which show damage, such as scored pistons or cylinders, should be
replaced or repaired.
Preventer parts in some cases can be repaired; however, this should be done only at WOM
repair shops or under supervision of WOM personnel. After the preventer is rebuilt, the body
should be tested to maximum rated working pressure and the operating system to 5,000 psi.
The Type WU Blowout Preventer has been designed especially for ease of field servicing and
reconditioning. Ram change pistons and cylinders, and operating pistons and cylinders can be
quickly replaced on location, providing a completely rebuilt bonnet assembly.
Lubricants: Ram Lubricant: Any water resistant grease or heavy oil can be used as a ram and ram
bore lubricant. Thread Lubricant: Metallic Zinc Base Grease should be used.
Testing: At regular intervals, weekly if possible, the complete drilling hookup and choke manifold
should be tested for pressure holding ability and correct operation. The blowout preventer operating
unit and all control piping should also be pressure tested and inspected. Pipe rams should not be
closed except when pipe is in the preventer, to avoid extruding the packing.
Storage: When a preventer is put in storage, the rams should be removed and the preventer
thoroughly cleaned, all moving parts greased, and all machined surfaces oiled and greased,
particularly the ram bores and the flange ring grooves. Preferably, the preventer should be provided
with flange protectors. Preventers in storage should have the operating system full of lightweight
oil. Packed rams should not be stored out of doors.
Spare Parts: It is recommended that spare pipe rams plus replacement packers and top seals for
all sizes of rams being used be kept at the rig. There may be other spare parts that are recommended to
support a year of operation, which depend on environmental conditions where the BOP is installed. Please
contact WOM for a specific list of recommended spares.
TM
1. The preventer should be kept as warm as possible as the rams are susceptible to
freezing in place since water-based drilling fluids freeze quickly and solidly when they
come to rest at such temperatures.
3. Avoid impact loads on rubber parts as they become very brittle and may shatter.
5. Light hydraulic oil should be used in the Type WU hydraulic system since some
medium-weight oils become semi-solid at temperatures in the neighborhood of fifty
degrees below zero.
6. Keep the equipment clean and free of water-based drilling fluids where at all possible.
8. Water is satisfactory operating fluid provided a soluble oil is used for corrosion
protection and sufficient antifreeze is added to prevent freezing.

Operational Characteristics
Sealing Characteristics
Ram block packers and top seal was evaluated for following characteristics to seal wellbore
pressure
Fatigue Life
The sealing reliability and life cycle were qualified by conducting an API 16A operational
characteristics fatigue test. API 16A fatigue test consists of 546 close and open cycles of the
blowout preventer. A low and high pressure wellbore pressure test is conducted on every
seventh closure. The ram block successfully completed all 78 wellbore pressure tests during
the 546 close/open cycle fatigue test.
Stripping
A Stripping test was performed to ensure the functionality of the system and components in
a BOP during stripping of drill pipe through the wellbore during the closed condition of BOP.
This test confirmed the ability of the ram block packer to seal-off annulas pressure while drill
pipe was running through the ram blocks.
Shearing
Shearing Blind Rams have the capability to shear drill pipe as per API-5D and seal in a
single operator closure. Once the rams have successfully sheared the pipe, the rams continue
to close. The upper sheared pipe above the rams is upper fish, and is pushed by upper ram
into a cavity between the upper and lower rams. This cavity is provided to store the upper fish
and ensures that the upper fish does not interfere with the closing of the ram blocks. Below
the lower ram block, the sheared is lower fish, is displaced by the lower shear ram block. This
is accomplished by bending the lower fish over a shoulder, clearing the lower ram block to the
blade packer. Shear rams block fold over the lower drill pipe fish to clear the sealing area and
house the lower fish between the fold-over shoulder and the bottom of the upper ram block.
As the ram block closes, the side and packer seals are energized and seals wellbore annulus.
