An annular blowout preventer (BOP). The annular BOP includes an annular housing having a base. The base includes a plurality of fasteners extending from an interior of the housing to an exterior of the housing via fastener holes formed through the connector base. The annular BOP further includes a seal plate positioned at least partially adjacent interior ends of the plurality of fastener. The annular BOP further includes an annular elastomeric element positioned within the interior of the housing and an annular piston positioned within the interior of the housing. The piston, when driven towards the elastomeric element, deforms the elastomeric element and forces the elastomeric element to constrict radially inward.

An accumulator system that includes a housing. The housing defines a function chamber and a balance chamber. A piston moves axially within the housing. The piston separates the function chamber from the balance chamber. An electric actuator couples to and drives the piston within the housing to compress and drive a first fluid out of the function chamber.

A well production system comprises a safety instrumented system (SIS) having one or more logic solvers; one or more pressure transmitters disposed along a flowpath and communicatively coupled to the one or more logic solvers; one or more valves disposed along the flowpath and communicatively coupled to the SIS, wherein the SIS is configured to selectively actuate the one or more valves based on feedback from the one or more pressure transmitters; and a spare pressure transmitter disposed along the flowpath, wherein the spare pressure transmitter is configured to be selectively coupled to the one or more logic solvers.

A blowout preventer (BOP) assembly includes a body portion, a bore extending through the body portion, and a ram block assembly. The ram block assembly includes a first ram block being movable into the bore and a second ram block being movable into the bore. The ram block assembly also includes inserts arranged within each of the first ram block and second ram block, the inserts being movable to change a sealing diameter of the ram block assembly, wherein each insert includes a plurality of lips extending into voids formed between adjacent inserts, respective lips being positioned along intersecting regions of adjacent inserts

Systems and methods for initiating an emergency disconnect sequence (EDS) are provided. In an aspect, a disconnection system is provided and configured to initiate the EDS, and includes a controller including a processor and a memory operably coupled to the processor. The controller receives, from a set of motion reference units (MRU(s)) operably coupled to a flexible joint, position data generated by the set of motion references units and associated with the joint when the joint is operably coupled to and disposed between a drilling riser and a lower marine riser package (LMRP). The controller determines, based on the position data, an angular offset of the joint. The controller sends, to a subsea control pod disposed at or adjacent to the LMRP, a trigger signal in response to determining that the angular offset exceeds a predetermined threshold, such that the subsea control pod initiates the EDS.

A tensioning system includes a combined rope gripper and tension cylinder. A rope passes through the combined rope gripper and tension cylinder. Once the length and/or tension of the rope has been adjusted, a reel lock handle can be actuated to prevent further rotation of the reel. The combined rope gripper and tension cylinder can be actuated to hold the rope. The combined rope gripper and tension cylinder can also be actuated to reduce or prevent the release of tension in the rope.

A safety integrity level rated control system includes a surface control system and a subsea control system. The surface control system includes one or more remote display panels, one or more buttons operatively connected to each of the remote display panels, two main controllers connected to the remote display panels, two junction boxes, each junction box connected to one of the two main controllers, and a surface intervention system controller connected to the one or more buttons via a wiring bus. The subsea control system is connected to the surface control system by one or more umbilicals extending from the two junction boxes.
