subsea BOP

A subsea blowout preventer (BOP) is a critical safety device installed on the seafloor during offshore drilling. It acts as a gatekeeper, capable of sealing off the wellbore to prevent uncontrolled release of oil and gas if something goes wrong. The subsea BOP is operated remotely from the surface and is designed to withstand extreme pressures, ensuring the safety of personnel, the environment, and the integrity of the well. It is an essential component for controlling well emergencies and maintaining safe, stable drilling operations deep beneath the ocean’s surface.
