Riyadh Saudi Arabia: <\/strong>The K-BOS results in more than a 94% reduction in the probability of a blowout in surface drilling applications according to a detailed industry study. At this year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s IPTC 2022 in Riyadh Saudi Arabia, the paper (IPTC-22152-MS) was presented showing a detailed sensitivity analysis to determine the reduction in the probability of a blowout provided by adding the K-BOS to a surface drilling application. This paper compliments previous work done by NASA\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Johnson Space Center which used data from US Gulf of Mexico deep water operations to determine that the K-BOS provides a multiple orders of magnitude reduction in blowout probability in subsea applications.<\/p>\n

The K-BOS provides a dramatic improvement in well control certainty:<\/p>\n

With the goal to exhibit leadership in industry process safety, North Caspian Operating Company (NCOC), Eni, and Kinetic Pressure Control have collaborated to evaluate the feasibility and potential process safety benefits from use of the Kinetic Blowout Stopper (K-BOS\u00c2\u00ae<\/sup>) technology in High-H2<\/sub>S and high-pressure drilling and completions and intervention applications from artificial islands in Kashagan field. The study focused on efforts to detect any showstoppers for the application of K-BOS, quantify the reduction in the blowout probability due to its application, and summarize the information currently available about the technology.<\/p>\n

Kinetic’s proprietary seal design, that allows for reliable use of elastomeric materials compatible with up to 50% H2S fluids, is directly scalable to the 18-3\/4″ size and sealing pressures of up to 20,000 psi.<\/p>\n

Using the Eni proprietary e-wise\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 fault tree analysis approach, a quantitative risk assessment was performed to compare the probability of a blowout in Kashagan field using conventional BOP systems to the probability of a blowout with the K-BOS added to the stack. The study also reviewed OEM provided operating procedures, a risk assessment for running the equipment, as well as a feasibility study regarding any height restrictions in the BOP stack and the position of the K-BOS in the stack. The impact of alternative equipment for risk reduction such as additional redundancy was also assessed.<\/p>\n

The application of the 13 5\/8″ 10M K-BOS system during reservoir drilling, completion and intervention operations significantly reduces the probability of a blowout by at least an order of magnitude. For drilling operations in the most challenging Rim portion of the reservoir, the blowout probability decreases by more than 90% and the residual value is below the blowout frequency for Producing Wells.<\/p>\n

The improved shearing\/sealing capacity and reduced closure time provided by the K-BOS enable a reduced likelihood of a blowout and enhance the risk profile for the oil and gas industry.<\/p>\n
