Safety Precautions
Exposure to the daily hazards of drilling can lead rig crews and service personnel to
disregard or overlook hidden hazards. The safety precautions listed below should be
observed at all times.
Equipment Repairs or Adjustments

Turn off the system power and bleed all pressure prior to making any repairs or
adjustments that do not require system power.
Hydraulic Lines
Hydraulic lines carrying fluids at high pressures can inflict potentially fatal injuries if the
pressure escapes. Protect hydraulic lines from cutting, scraping, pinching, or other
physical damage. Always wear hard hats and safety glasses when working around
hydraulic lines. Bleed the pressure from any hydraulic line prior to disconnecting any
fittings. Respect the prescribed ASME code minimum bend radius for hydraulic lines.
Bending around too short a radius can rupture the line.
Welding and Cutting

Do not weld or operate acetylene-cutting torches near unprotected electrical cable, flexible
hose, or hose bundles. Weld spatter can seriously damage the hose or cable. Ensure no
slag or spatter enters the hydraulic system.
Replacement Parts
Many of the BOP components, though apparently similar to commercial hardware, are
manufactured to system design specifications. To avoid possible hazardous failures, use
only exact NOV replacement parts or assemblies (see Chapter 5, titled "Specifications and
Parts Lists”).

The LXT preventer is designed for drilling and workover service. The LXT preventers are
hydraulically operated and can be manually locked by turning a handle or (optional)
handwheel (see Figure 3-5 on page 3-8) . The standard trim unit is suitable for internal
H2S environments. Units can be manufactured for Arctic to -75 ºF (-59 ºC) and full H2S
environmental services. Standard units can be retrofitted for full environmental H2S
service. NOV preventers are manufactured in accordance with the American Petroleum
Institute (API) specification 16A and the National Association of Corrosion Engineers
(NACE) document NACE Standard MR 0175 (current revision).
This manual provides the installation, operation, and maintenance procedures for
standard manual lock LXT BOP models with manual lock operators. The manual lock
operators are used to close the ram assemblies on the drill pipe and close off the well
bore. The manual lock operators require a hydraulic closing pressure of 1,500 psi (103
bar) to accomplish sealing the well bore pressure to the rated working pressure of the
preventer. Maximum working pressure for the hydraulic operators is 3,000 psi (207 bar).
When the rams are hydraulically closed, the manual lock acme thread locking bolts are
rotated clockwise to manually lock the rams in the closed position (see Figure 2-3).

BOP Functional Overview

A ram BOP is a safety tool used during the drilling or workover operation to control well
bore pressure. The BOP achieves this pressure control by closing its rams to seal around
drilling tubulars, an open hole or to shear drilling tubulars under various drilling conditions.
Under normal drilling the BOP has little or no internal pressure. However, if the drill bit
penetrates a high-pressure oil or gas pocket in the well, the BOP rams can be closed so
that the high-pressure returning well fluid (whose pressure has overcome the weight of the
drilling mud) will not blow out of the well. The BOP is normally composed of a pressure
containing body with a vertical through bore with doors (including door operators) on either
side, which hold the BOP rams and their hydraulic operating mechanisms. Flanged or
studded API connections are configured on either end of the body at the vertical bore to
facilitate connecting the LXT preventer to a BOP Stack or other well control components.
The body is generally configured with two outlets (one on each side) under each ram
cavity located 90º to the doors, which are routed laterally through the body to the vertical
bore forming a well bore fluid outlet path. The side outlets are used in conjunction with the
choke and kill valves, choke manifold and other well control equipment to bring the high
well bore pressure under control using a variety of well control techniques available to the
well operator. (See Figure 2-3 on page 2-3 for BOP general features.)
The LXT Ram BOPs are functioned hydraulically by the rig operator using the BOP
Control System. BOP controls are generally located on the Drillers and/or Toolpushers
Control Panels and at the Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU).
Door Locking System

The LXT BOP door locking system provides simple and fast opening and closing of BOP
doors, representing a major step toward easy servicing. Several operational benefits are
available from this system.
The LXT BOP door locking system departs from the conventional bolting method. The
entire door attachment method can be accomplished by a single individual opening and
closing the doors.
The LXT BOP door locking system replaces axially-loaded threaded members (bolts) with
transaxially-loaded bearing members. The bearing members act as locking pins, taking
the separation load (generated by well bore pressure) in bearing and shear only, not in
tension. The bearing members (locking bars) are contained between the body and door on
the BOP, providing a pressure containing lock. The number of locking members (locking
bars) is reduced to two, running across the top and bottom of the door (see Figure 2-3 on
page 2-3). This replaces the threaded member system of four to ten bolts per door.
Actuation or engagement of the two locking members is fast and easy, dramatically
reducing the opening and closing time compared to the threaded member system which
requires that each bolt be made up separately.
The LXT BOP door locking system utilizes a set of lateral grooves located in both the door
and BOP body running perpendicular to the ram cavity. These grooves, when aligned,
allow load bearing (locking) bars to lock the door and body together. The round lock bars
are inserted into or pulled from the grooves to accomplish the manual lock and unlock
process. Groove pairs and locking bars are located both above and below the ram cavity
spanning the interface between the door and body. (See Figure 2-4 on page 2-5.)

Once the lock bars are removed, the door assembly is pulled away from the BOP body
sliding along two support rods allowing access to the ram assembly. The LXT door
assembly does not hinge on a bracket, thus providing a manual process that is simple, fast
and reliable. For more detail about the door locking system, see the section titled "Opening
Doors" on page 3-12 and the section titled "Closing Doors" on page 3-14).
Hydraulic Operators
The LXT BOP is equipped with manual lock hydraulic operators. The manual lock
hydraulic operators are located either side of the LXT body (see Figure 2-4).
The LXT BOP manual lock hydraulic operators are closed with 1,500 psi (103 bar). This
pressure squeezes the ram assembly rubber around the pipe and between the ram
assemblies and the upper seat of the ram cavity to seal-off the well bore pressure. Each
operator is manually locked in the close position by the clockwise rotation of the acme
thread locking bolt (see Figure 2-4). The locking bolts prevent the rams from being opened
by the well bore pressure, even when closing hydraulic pressure is removed. The hydraulic
operators do not require adjustment for changes in ram types or to compensate for ram
wear over time.

Installation and Operation
Preinstallation Inspection
The inspection process includes the activities listed below:
1. Thoroughly clean the LXT manual lock blowout preventer (BOP) before installation.
(See the table titled "LXT Ram BOP Cleaning and Lubricating Instructions" on page
4-27.)
2. Clean and inspect the sealing surface of the ring groove for minor pits and
scratches; remove these with emery cloth. If there is excessive damage, call a
National Oilwell Varco (NOV) service representative.
3. Clean and inspect studs and nuts. Replace any that are damaged.
4. Ensure the correct size rams are in each cavity. The part number is stamped into the
block of each ram.
5. Thoroughly clean and lubricate the inside of the LXT BOP.
6. Ensure that all support rods are installed prior to BOP operation.
in g
Wa r n
Operation of BOP without support rods in place will

effect sealing characteristics and create a drop hazard
of door assemblies, which is extremely dangerous to
personnel.
7. Determine if BOP has been properly maintained or condition is unknown and then
proceed to one of the following, as applicable:
R the section titled "Condition of BOP is Unknown" on page 3-2; or
R the section titled "BOP Maintained on Scheduled Maintenance Program" on
page 3-2.

Condition of BOP is Unknown

If the condition of the BOP is unknown (e.g., stored for some length of time, has not been
maintained on a scheduled maintenance program, etc.), perform a three-month
maintenance check, as described in the section titled "Three-Month Preventive
Maintenance" on page 4-4. The three-month maintenance check includes:
R Visual inspection and thorough greasing the inside of the BOP;
R Performing a field wellbore pressure test (see the section titled "Field Wellbore
Pressure Test" on page 4-9);
R Performing an hydraulic pressure test (see the section titled "Hydraulic Pressure
Test" on page 4-11);
R Operate the manual locks (see the section titled "Manual Locking the Rams" on
page 3-12).
BOP Maintained on Scheduled Maintenance

Program
If the BOP has been properly maintained (scheduled maintenance program), a monthly
maintenance check is all that is required. (See the section titled "Monthly Preventive
Maintenance" on page 4-3.)
The monthly maintenance check includes:
R Performing a field wellbore pressure test (see the section titled "Field Wellbore
Pressure Test" on page 4-9);
o Checking for external hydraulic leaks while pressure testing.
Verify that door lock bars are propperly lubricated. Failure

to heed this caution may cause difficulty manually rotating
the lock bar.
ii
Cleaning, inspection and testing of the LXT BOP
immediately after completion of drilling operations reduces
installation time on the next well (see the section titled
"Cleaning and Storage of the LXT BOP" on page 4-25).

Installation Instructions
1. Install BOP right-side-up. The LXT models have lifting lugs labeled ‘TOP’, which are
above and to the right of the side outlets (see Figure 3-1).
On all LXT models:
R Externally, the side outlets for the choke and kill lines are below the rams;
R Internally, the skids in the ram compartments are below the rams, and ram
sealing areas are located in the top of the ram cavity.

Operation
Hydraulic Operation
The rams can be hydraulically closed and manually locked. Under normal operating
conditions, 1,500 psi (103 bar) hydraulic pressure is recommended. This operating
pressure will close any model LXT BOP and contain its rated wellbore pressure. Hydraulic
operating pressure may be increased to 3,000 psi (207 bar) on any LXT BOP, if desired.
LXT Fluid Volume Requirements
Working Bore Piston Closing Gallons to Gallons to

Pressure Size Size Ratio Open Close
5,000 psi 7" 5" 8.45 .32 .39
3,000 psi 7" 5" 8.45 .32 .39
Hydraulic Fluid
Hydraulic fluid under pressure drives the pistons, which then close and opens the rams.
The hydraulic fluid used should have the following characteristics:
R Non-freezing in cold climates
R Lubricity to reduce wear
R Chemical compatibility with the elastomer seals
R Corrosion inhibitors for metal surface protection.
Recommended Hydraulic Fluid

R Hydraulic oil with viscosity between 200 and 300 SSU at 100 ºF (38 ºC). In the LXT
closed hydraulic system, there is no waste of oil and fluid costs are negligible.
R Where pollution due to accidental spillage of hydraulic fluid is a problem, use a
water soluble oil or premix control fluid. To prevent freezing at lower temperatures,
adding ethylene glycol without any additives is recommended. Do not use
commercial antifreeze mixes.
Emergency Fluid Recommendations

In an emergency, where hydraulic fluid is lost and the BOP must be operated, the fluids
listed below can be substituted:
1. When using hydraulic oil:
R Add motor oil (SAE 10W is recommended but heavier oils can be used)
R Add water if motor oil is not available, but after the emergency, the hydraulic
system must be flushed and refilled with hydraulic oil
2. When using a water soluble mixture or premix fluid, add more water.
3-9
www.nov.com
Page 3-10 of 14
3. After the emergency, replace the fluid in the system with the proper mixture.
Do not use the following fluids:
Diesel fuel or kerosene—these fluids cause the rubber

parts to swell and deteriorate.
Drilling mud—the grit in this fluid will cause the pistons

and cylinders to wear and gall rapidly.
Closing and Opening the Rams

Closing the Rams
1. Apply 1,500 psi (103 bar) closing hydraulic pressure (see the section titled "Manual
Locking the Rams" on page 3-12).
2. Verify that the rams close by observing the inward movement of the piston tail rod
Opening the Rams
Before opening the rams, turn both locking shafts counter-

clockwise to ensure that the rams are unlocked. If the rams
are partly locked, the locking shaft threads may be
damaged when the rams are hydraulically opened.
1. Apply 1,500 psi (103 bar) opening hydraulic pressure.

2. Verify that the rams open by observing the outward movement of the piston tail rods

Daily Maintenance
The procedures described below should be performed daily:
1. All rams should be functioned to verify that they operate properly. If possible, watch
the rams move by using a mirror to obtain a reflected image of the rams. If this is not
possible, observe the movement of the tail rod.
ii
Pipe rams should be closed on pipe. Blind rams should be
closed and opened when the pipe is out of the hole.
2. Check the tail rod shaft seal areas, cylinder head o-ring areas, manifold pipe seals,
door seal areas, weep holes, hydraulic connections, and all pipe plugs for possible
leakage of hydraulic fluids (see Figure 4-1 on page 4-4).
ii
To observe if the ram shaft packings are leaking, the
weep hole plugs must be removed on each door (see
Figure 4-12 on page 4-18).
3. Check areas for possible leakage of well fluid and/or hydraulic fluid (see Figure 4-1
on page 4-4).

Offset Rams for Dual Completions

Single offset rams have only one bore, which is offset to API centerline standards. This
allows complete control of a dual completion when the second tubing string is to be run
later.
Dual offset rams are furnished to API centerline standards for complete control of a dual
completion when both tubing strings are run together.
Contact your local Shaffer sales representative for delivery dates. Be sure to specify the
following when ordering:
R BOP size and working pressure.
R If single or dual offset rams are required.
R Tubing OD and type of coupling so the coupling OD can be determined.
R Casing size and weight so that the casing ID can be determined.
R Tubing hanger centerline dimensions.

Aluminum Drill Pipe Rams

Since aluminum drill pipe has an oversize OD, these rams must have oversize bores in
both the ram blocks and in the ram rubber extrusion plates. Contact your local NOV sales
representative for part numbers and the following:
R BOP size and working pressure.
R Aluminum drill pipe OD.
Storing the LXT BOP

LXT BOP Data Location
For the location of BOP data, see Figure 4-21 on page 4-26.
R Operation information is contained on plates mounted on the cylinder heads.
R The body part number is located on the body.
R Most components of the LXT BOP are stamped with their part numbers and other
manufacturing data.
ii
Always give the serial number or assembly part numbers
and size of the LXT BOP when ordering parts.
Cleaning and Storage of the LXT BOP

A BOP should be cleaned immediately after it is taken out of service. Proper cleaning of a
BOP before it is stored will increase its life significantly. If a BOP is in an active drilling
program, this cleaning should be done approximately every three months or when the rig
is between wells see the table titled "LXT Ram BOP Cleaning and Lubricating
Instructions" on page 4-27.
1. Open the doors and remove the rams (see the section titled "Removal of Rams" on
page 4-19).
If the BOP is not flanged to a wellhead or securely

fastened, open only one door at a time. The weight of two
open doors may tip the BOP over.
R Store rubber parts in their natural shape. Do not hang o-rings on nails or hooks.
R Storage areas should be kept as dry as possible. Oil, grease or other fluids
should be stored elsewhere to avoid spillage.
R If storage is for a long duration, it is recommended that rubber parts be placed in
sealed containers or be given a protective surface covering impervious to
temperature or light, This will extend the shelf life.
4-25
www.nov.com
Page 4-26 of 28
R Rubber parts should be used on a first in, first out basis.

2. Inspect rubber parts according to the instructions listed below:
R Each rubber part must be inspected before it is put into service.
R Bend, stretch, or compress each part and look for cracks.
R Observe if the rubber part has a hard skin or small cracks which may become
chalky or bark like in appearance.
ii
Some cracks are not obvious, but when the rubber part is
bent, stretched or compressed, very minute cracks will
become apparent.
