Well Control in Case of Offshore Blowout: Brown Oil Tools' Crimper and the Kvaerner B.O.F.V. Concept

摘要

The BOT method for well capping is presented and discussed. It is described what a complete or partial preparedness will include. The limitations of the method are severe. If a preparedness is established, it will only be used on a limited fraction of possible blowouts. As it is unsuitable for Condeep platforms, the method is of little interest to Statoil. A follow-up project should be considered. The B.O.F.V. concept can in a modified version favorably be combined with the BOT method, make it more applicable and safer.
