Cofounders Bobby Gallagher, Billy Gallagher, and Steve Angstmann had assembled their prototype at a specialized test pad in Santa Barbara California after nearly a year of engineering and planning and this was the moment of truth. The first shear test of Kinetic Pressure Control\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Kinetic Blowout Stopper\u00e2\u20ac\u009dwas a success.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153This test proves that we can use kinetic energy to truly shear anything in the wellbore. We have learned a lot from this test, however I am very pleased with the result,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Billy Gallagher, Cofounder and Vice President of Product Development.<\/p>\n<p>The Kinetic Blowout Stopper (K-BOS) is an electrically initiated, pyro-mechanical gate valve which performs the critical function of shearing and sealing during drilling, completions and intervention well control operations, think of it as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the airbag for the oil &amp; gas industry.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Kinetic\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s unique design, utilizing the power of kinetic energy, greatly limits the potential existential threat posed by blowouts by being able to shear and seal everything above the bit in the well instantly \u00e2\u20ac\u201c no exceptions. Further,the design of the K-BOS ensures ultimate reliability with no moving parts and all critical components being isolated from the wellbore until activated. The K-BOS realizes a significant reduction in BOP related NPT and a reduction in owning and operating costs by eliminating the need for regular inspection and maintenance and replacement of packers and seals required with traditional BOP rams.<\/p>\n<p>About Kinetic Pressure Control<br \/>\nKinetic Pressure Control is a leading well control technology company that designs and manufactures innovative wellhead and pressure control equipment and services.
