Visionary Problem Solving<\/h2>\n

One day late in 2015, two friends were having lunch at a beach side cafe in the shadow of 4 new-build deep water drilling rigs. Unsettled by the fact that current BOPs could not reliably shear and shut in a blowout, they came up with the idea for a chemical propellant based shearing technology as an alternative to the traditional hydraulic-mechanical BOPs. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Fundamentally More Efficient<\/h2>\n

The traditional technology works like a pair of scissors which relies on mechanically applied pressure to create the force to shear. The new idea works like a bullet which leverages kinetic energy to exponentially increase force on the blade thus drastically increasing its shearing capability without increasing size and weight. The idea took form as they proofed their design, modeled its performance, and finally built a prototype.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

All clear, Fire!<\/h2>\n

In a matter of milliseconds what had been one piece of steel drill collar pipe with 3 \u00c2\u00bd\u00e2\u20ac\u009d outer diameter and 1\u00e2\u20ac\u009d thick walls, safely became two cleanly sheared pieces inside of a 4 1\/6\u00e2\u20ac\u009d BOP body. The first shearing test of Kinetic Pressure Control\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s prototype Kinetic Blowout Stopper, or K-BOS, was a success.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Building the Future of Well Control<\/h2>\n

Kinetic Pressure Control now has offices at a 300,000 square foot manufacturing and test facility in Houston TX. Our team is growing, and our product portfolio is expanding. Kinetic is making strides in innovation to protect the Oil and Gas industry\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s social license to drill.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
