When a problem occurs subsea and underground pressure forces oil or gas into the wellbore the blow out preventer (BOP) is required to operate quickly preventing damage to surface modules and the surrounding environment.
If the BOP cannot be operated remotely one of the few remaining options to actuate the BOP is by using ROV intervention. For this to occur quickly and safely the intervening ROV requires to deliver very high flow fluids at high pressure.
The blow out preventer actuating tool (BOP-AT) is designed to be operated by a work-class ROV, delivering 300lpm of fluid at pressures up to 1500psi.
