U

Surface ram-type BOP

25K BOP stack in the field

The U BOP is the most widely used ram-type BOP in the world and has our widest bore-size range.

The U BOP is designed to maximize reliability and performance while simplifying maintenance.

  • Hydraulic stud tensioning is available on larger sizes to ensure that stud loading is consistently accurate and even.
  • Bonnet seal carriers eliminate the need for high makeup torque on bonnet studs and nuts.
  • Wedge locks can be interlocked with the BOP operating system using sequence caps to ensure the wedge lock is retracted before applying pressure to open the BOP.
  • Other features include hydraulically opening bonnets, a forged body, and a wide selection of rams to meet a variety of applications.
