Prevent major disasters on oil and gas platforms

Blowout preventers have been a boon to the oil and gas industries. They create a safe environment for workers on oil platforms and also help to prevent accidents and blowouts from taking place, thus protecting the environment. There are over 60 oil and gas companies in India. There is always a continuous and endless demand for oil and gas. This demand has led to many companies to create stronger and better blowout equipment. One such company is integrated Equipment Inc.

Based out of Houston Texas, the company is well-known around the country for manufacturing RAM and annular blowout preventers. In addition to this, the company also manufactures wellhead equipment, pulsation dampeners and elastomer products. The company has made great strides through research and development on the product.
The latest annual blowout preventers are designed to seal the heads of oil wells, Kelleys, casings, drill joints and drill pipes of almost any shape or size. It also has the facility that allows one to drill pipes in and out of the hole safely. The preventer is constructed to the standards of the API 16A and NACE. It comprises 15 different parts and is fitted along with trash rings and wear rings. The trash rings helps to prevent any kind of debris from entering the borehole. The wear rings helps to reduce contact between two metals, thus increasing the lifespan of the preventer.
The company also produces:
• 7 1/16” Single and Double RAM BOP: These are available in configurations of 2000 and 5000 psi. The double ram comes in a configuration of two feet in height and 1034 kilos, making light weight and easy to install in small rigs.

• 9” Single and Double RAM BOP: This BOP is offered at a configuration of 3000 psi. The ram blocks are standard, in Blind or through 5.5”.

• 11” Single and Double RAM BOP: This is offered with the ability to handle pressure ratings of 5000 to 10,000 psi. This BOP is perfect for drilling operations in mid-sized rigs.

• 13 5/8” Single and Double RAM BOP: These BOPs are used on large drilling rig operations. They are designed to handle pressure ratings of 5000 to 10,000 psi. The 5mm double RAM comprises a height of four feet and a weight of 14,000 pounds.

All the above mentioned products have been designed and constructed according to the API 16A and NACE requirements. They have been field tested and proven to work under the required conditions and environments.
To increase production and quality in work and products, the company utilizes the Enterprise Resource Planning system. This has helped the company to create high production rates, thus offering clients with a variety of products of the best quality. The organization is also making strides to create products that can also be interchanged with similar components in OEM brands. The materials that are used in production are approved by standards set by the ASME and the API. Also, a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is conducted to meet the required standards of excellence.
