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”).

This manual provides the installation, operation, and maintenance procedures for
standard manual lock LXT BOP models with 10″ (254 mm) cylinders. The manual lock
LXT BOP is available in single and double models. Contact NOV Sales for special
configurations.
The 10″ (254 mm) manual lock operators are used to close the ram assemblies on the drill
pipe and close off the wellbore. The 10″ (254 mm) manual lock operators require a
hydraulic closing pressure of 1,500 psi (103 bar) to accomplish sealing the wellbore
pressure to the rated working pressure of the preventer. Maximum working pressure for
the operators is 3,000 psi (206 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. Four 10″ (254 mm)
manual lock operators are located on either side of the NXT double body cavity (see
Figure 2-2). NOV supplies manual lock LXT BOPs in the sizes shown in the following table
titled “LXT BOP Available Sizes and Working Pressures”.

The standard trim unit is suitable for internal H2S environments. Units can be
manufactured for Arctic (to −75°F or −59°C) and full H2S environmental services.
Standard units can be retrofitted for full environmental H2S service. NOV preventers are
manufactured in accordance with American Petroleum Institute (API) specification 16A
(Third Edition) and National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) document NACE
Standard MR 01 75” (current revision). The specifications and dimensions given are for
manual lock LXT BOPs.

BOP Functional Overview

A ram BOP is a safety tool used during the drilling or workover operation to control
wellbore fluid 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
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 throughbore
with doors (including door operators) on either side, which hold the BOP rams and their
hydraulic operating mechanisms. Flanged or studded API pressure connections are
configured on either end of the body at the vertical bore to facilitate connecting the BOP 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 90° to the doors, which are
routed laterally through the body to the vertical bore forming a wellbore 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 wellbore pressure under control using a
variety of well control techniques available to the well operator. See Figure 2-2 on
page 2-3 for general BOP features. The LXT Ram BOPs are functioned hydraulically by
the rig operator using the BOP Control System. BOP controls are generally located on the
Driller’s and/or Toolpusher’s 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 the
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 in that 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 bars, taking
the separation load (generated by wellbore pressure) in bearing and shear only, not in
tension. The bearing members are contained between the body and door on the BOP,
providing a pressure-containing lock. The number of locking members is reduced to two,
running across the top and bottom of the door. This replaces the threaded member system
of four to ten bolts per door. Actuation or engagement of the two locking bars 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 the pressure-containing body running perpendicular to the ram cavity. These grooves,
when aligned, allow load-bearing 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 2-3).

Once the lock bars are removed, the door assembly is pulled by hand from the BOP body,
sliding along two slider (support) bars, allowing access to the ram assembly. A slider boss
and shoulder screw attached to the ends of the two slider bars act as door stoppers,
preventing the door from being pulled off the slider bars (see Figure 2-4 on page 2-6). 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 Chapter 3,
titled “Installation and Operation”.

Ram Locking Operators

The LXT BOP is equipped with manual lock hydraulic operators, which are located on
either side of the LXT body (see Figure 2-2 on page 2-3). The LXT BOP operators are
hydraulically 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 wellbore pressure.
Each operator is manually locked in the close position by clockwise rotation of the acme
thread locking bolt. The locking bolts prevent the rams from being opened by the wellbore
pressure, even when closing hydraulic pressure is removed. The manual lock operators do
not require adjustment for changes in ram types or to compensate for ram wear over time
(see Figure 2-5).

LXT Ram Changer

The LXT ram changer (P/N 20032006) is quickly installed on any door that requires the
ram assembly to be inspected. The ram changer can be removed or left in place on the
LXT preventer door (see Figure 2-5 on page 2-7).
The LXT ram changer is designed to swing the ram assembly outward to a convenient
position, where it is easier to clean and inspect the ram rubbers. Two ringed pins are
secured to the LXT door by a lanyard, preventing them from being lost. One pin is used as
the ram changer swivel pin and the other pin is used to safely lock the ram changer.
The ram changer is pinned while transferring the ram assembly onto the ram changer.
When the ram assembly is safely supported on the ram changer, the lock pin is removed,
and the ram changer is swung to the side of the preventer and pinned, where the ram
assembly can be cleaned and inspected (see the section titled “Ram Assembly Removal
and Inspection” on page 4-17).

Installation and Operation

Preinstallation Inspection
The inspection process includes the following activities:
1. Thoroughly clean the LXT manual lock BOP before installation (see the table titled
“LXT Ram BOP Cleaning and Lubricating Instructions” on page 4-13).
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 an
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 slider bars are installed prior to BOP operation.

in g
Wa r n

Operation of the BOP without support slider bars in

place will affect sealing characteristics and create a
drop hazard of door assemblies, which is extremely
dangerous to personnel.

7. Determine if the BOP has been properly maintained or if its condition is unknown.
Proceed to one of the following, as applicable:
R the section titled “Condition of BOP is Unknown” below; or
R the section titled “BOP Maintained on a 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 4-5. A three-month maintenance check includes:
R Visually inspecting and thoroughly greasing the inside of the BOP.
R Clean, inspect and lubricate door lock bars
R Performing a field wellbore pressure test as described in the section titled “Field
Wellbore Pressure Test” on page 4-8.

BOP Maintained on a 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 4-5).
A monthly maintenance check includes:
R Clean, inspect, and lubricate door lock bars
R Performing a field wellbore pressure test as per the section titled “Field Wellbore
Pressure Test” on page 4-8;
o Checking for external hydraulic leaks while pressure testing.

Verify that door lock bars are lubricated. Removal of the

bars may become difficult.

ii
Cleaning, inspecting, and testing the LXT BOP
immediately after completing drilling operations reduces
installation time on the next well (see the section titled
“Cleaning and Storing the LXT BOP” on page 4-27).

Installation Instructions
1. Install the BOP right-side-up. The LXT models have lifting lugs labeled “TOP,” which
are directly above the mud outlets (see Figure 3-1 on page 3-3). 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.

in g
Wa r n

If the BOP is installed upside down, it will not contain

wellbore pressure. Failure to heed this warning can
cause a blowout, loss of life, and loss of drilling
equipment.

Figure 3-1. Lifting LXT BOP

2. Lift the LXT manual lock BOP. On models with lifting lugs cast into the body, the
BOP is lifted by wrapping a chain or lifting strap of sufficient strength around the lug
(see Figure 3-1).

Do not lift the BOP by the cylinders. This will damage the
cylinders, piston assembly, and/or the ram shaft and
prevent the BOP from working correctly.

ii
For BOP weight information, see the following table titled

nut faces with API thread compound (API Bul. 5A2: Thread Compounds). This produces a stress of 52,500 psi
(362.0 MPa) in the bolting.

4. Repeat step 3 to connect the choke/kill side outlets.

5. Connect the hydraulic lines from the BOP closing unit to the “Open” and “Close”
ports of the BOP. Make sure all connections are clean and tight. Each set of rams
requires one opening line and one closing line (see Figure 3-4 on page 3-7).

ii
Two opening and two closing hydraulic ports are clearly
marked on the front and back side of the BOP (see
Figure 3-5 on page 3-7).

A gauge and valve can be included in the opening and

closing hydraulic lines to the BOP. This will facilitate testing
procedures (see Figure 3-4 on page 3-7).

Operation
Hydraulic Operation
The rams can be hydraulically closed and manually locked.

Operating Pressure
Under normal operating conditions, 1,500 psi (103 bar) hydraulic pressure is
recommended. This operating pressure will close any model LXT BOP with its rated
wellbore pressure. Normal hydraulic operating pressure may be increased to 3,000 psi
(207 bar) on any LXT BOP if desired.
The following table provides closing ratio and gallons to open and close.

4.86 5.14
3,000 psi 135⁄8″ 10″ 6.47
(18.4 liters) (19.46 liters)

Hydraulic Fluid
Hydraulic fluid under pressure drives the pistons, which open and close the rams.
Hydraulic fluid 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 to protect metal surfaces
The following types of hydraulic fluid, presented in order of preference, are recommended:
1. Hydraulic oil with viscosity between 200 and 300 SSU at 100°F (38°C). In the LXT
closed hydraulic system, there is no waste of oil, and fluid costs are negligible.
2. Where pollution due to accidental spillage of hydraulic fluid is a problem, use a
water soluble oil or premix control fluid.
3. To prevent freezing at lower temperatures, ethylene glycol without any additives is
recommended. Do not use commercial antifreeze mixes.
In an emergency where hydraulic fluid is lost and the BOP must be operated, the fluids
listed below can be substituted:
R 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. After the emergency, the hydraulic system
must be flushed and refilled with hydraulic oil.
R When using a water soluble mixture or premix fluid, add more water.

3-9
www.nov.com
 LXT Ram BOP
3 Installation and Operation Revision B
Page 3-10 of 16

After the emergency, replace the fluid in the system with the proper mixture.
Do not use the following fluids:
R Diesel fuel or kerosene — these fluids cause rubber goods to swell and deteriorate.
R Drilling mud — the grit in this fluid will cause the pistons and cylinders to wear and
gall rapidly.

Closing and Opening the Rams

Closing Rams
Apply 1,500 psi (103 bar) closing hydraulic pressure. Verify that the rams are closing by
observing the inward movement of the ram shaft tail rods through the slotted opening in
the cylinder head (see Figure 3-7 on page 3-12).

Opening Rams

ii
Before opening the rams, verify the locking bolts are
unlocked by rotating them fully counterclockwise (see the
section titled “Unlocking Rams” on page 3-11).

Apply 1,500 psi (103 bar) opening hydraulic pressure. Verify that the rams are opening by
observing the outward movement of the ram shaft tail rods through the slotted opening in
the cylinder head (see the section titled “Manual Lock Rams” on page 3-12).

Locking Rams
To close and manually lock the rams, proceed as follows:
1. Apply 1,500 psi (103 bar) closing hydraulic pressure.

ii
When the LXT manual lock preventer is closed with
1,500 psi (103 bar) hydraulic pressure, in the following step
do not use excessive force to activate the locking bolts.

2. Using the T-bar, rotate each locking bolt clockwise until the locking bolts contact the
ram shafts (see Figure 3-7 on page 3-12).
3. Hydraulic control system pressure may now be removed.
Both manual lock acme bolts are required to be rotated clockwise to lock the ram in
position after it is closed. The rams will then remain closed even if closing pressure is
removed. See Figure 2-5 on page 2-7 for the cylinder operating sequence.

Opening hydraulic pressure is required to reopen the ram operators after the locking bolts
have been rotated fully counterclockwise (see the following section titled “Unlocking
Rams”).

Unlocking Rams
When the ram assemblies are closed and locked by the locking bolts, the following
procedure is recommended to unlock and open the ram assemblies and to prevent
damage to the acme threads of the locking bolts:
1. Re-apply the 1,500 psi (103 bar) hydraulic closing pressure (to close the ram
assemblies and squeeze the ram rubber).

ii
When 1,500 psi (103 bar) hydraulic closing pressure is re-
applied, it does not require excessive force to unlock the
locking bolts.

2. Maintain the closing pressure, and rotate both locking bolts fully counterclockwise
(to unlock the ram assemblies).
3. Rotate both locking bolts 1⁄8 turn clockwise to prevent temperature changes from
jamming the locking bolts in the unlocked position.
4. Apply 1,500 psi (103 bar) hydraulic opening pressure (to open the ram assemblies).

ii
In the event no hydraulic closing pressure is available, the
manual locking bolts may be rotated clockwise to close the
ram assemblies. However, the rams cannot be opened
until hydraulic opening pressure is available.

Opening Door
The LXT is designed for quick and easy door opening (see Figure 3-8 on page 3-15). To
open the door, proceed as follows:
1. Verify the locking bolts are unlocked by rotating them fully counterclockwise (see the
section titled “Unlocking Rams” on page 3-11).
2. Apply 1,500 psi (103 bar) opening hydraulic pressure to open the ram assemblies.
Verify that the rams are opening by observing the outward movement of the ram
shaft tail rods through the slotted opening in the cylinder head (see Figure 3-7 on
page 3-12).
3. Vent hydraulic control system pressure to 0 psi (0 bar).
4. Using a dead-blow (soft head) sledgehammer, strike the hand knobs on the end of
the lock bars to break lock bars loose.
5. Unscrew the retainer knobs from the ends of the lock bars.
6. Using a slide hammer (P/N 20020261), remove the lock bars from the door to be
opened. Using care not to damage the lock bar surfaces, reattach the hand knobs
and store the two lock bars in a safe location.

ii
Due to cavity mud, the door seal, and the frictional drag of
the ram blocks, initial opening of the doors by hand may be
difficult. The use of a pry bar is necessary in the following
step.

7. Install two 1”-8UNC hex head bolts, one in the LXT body and one in the LXT door to
be opened. Place the pry bar under the bolt in the body and over the bolt in the door.
Using the pry bar as a lever, break the door loose from the LXT body (see Figure 3-
9 on page 3-16).
8. Open the door by pulling on the manual lock cage. Pull the door away from the LXT
body. The door will glide open on the two slider bars until it stops on contact with the
slider boss (see Figure 2-4 on page 2-6).
9. The ram assembly is ready to be inspected or removed (see the section titled “Ram
Assembly Removal and Inspection” on page 4-17).

Do not use grease on the door-to-body sealing area.

Lubricate this area with SAE-10W oil. Failure to heed this
caution may cause failure of the door seal to contain the
wellbore pressure.

ii
Prior to closing the door, carefully clean the door and body
locking grooves and door-to-body sealing area. Lubricate
the slider bars, lock bars, lock bar grooves on the door and
body with Shell Alvania EP/2 grease (P/N 212410) or
equivalent grease.

Again, only use SAE-10W oil on the door-to-body seal

area.

10. To close the door, reverse the above procedures.

in g
Wa r n

Ensure that the lock bar hand knobs are installed prior
to operating the BOP. Failure to heed this warning can
cause the lock bars to vibrate from the preventer,
unlocking the door from the body.

ii
Should the lock bars prove difficult to install, place a pry
bar over the 1”-8UNC bolt in the body and under the
1”-8UNC bolt in the door. Use the pry bar as a lever to
push the door closer to the LXT body (see Figure 3-9 on

ii
There are left hand and right hand door assemblies
installed on the LXT Ram BOP. This is due to the
configuration of the QD hydraulic coupler (items 18 and 19
in Figure 5-1 on page 5-3) on the door to the QD hydraulic
coupler on the body. To avoid confusion while installing the
doors onto the body, it is recommended to remove only
one door assembly at a time from the BOP body. In this
manner, the door-to-body QD hydraulic open and close
connections will properly align with each other.

Maintenance Schedule
The purpose of this maintenance schedule is to detect wear in an NOV manual lock model
LXT BOP so it can be repaired before a failure occurs in a drilling emergency. The
inspection sequence avoids repetition of work so that minimum time is required for a
thorough maintenance program.
Additional information is available in the following publications:
R API Spec. 6A, 16A
R API RP53
R NOV Brochures

When to Call a Service Representative

Repairs are performed by either rig personnel or an NOV service representative. This
section describes the repairs normally performed by the rig personnel, and provides
guidelines to determine when a service representative should be called.
The rig crew normally performs the following:
R Changing rams to different pipe sizes
R Running wellbore pressure tests and hydraulic pressure tests
R Replacing worn ram rubbers and door seals
R Buffing out minor scratches on the ram/door sealing areas of the body

4-1
www.nov.com

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 T-bar, hand wheels or tail shafts.

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 locking 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 see if the ram shaft packing is leaking, observe the
weep hole plugs. The plugs have a 1/16 hole for seepage.

3. Check areas for possible leakage of well fluid and/or hydraulic fluid (see Figure 4-1

Monthly Preventive Maintenance

Run this test series before starting a new well and at least monthly while drilling:
1. Ensure all lock bar retainer knobs are in place and tight.
2. Clean, inspect, and lubricate door lock bars.

Verify that door lock bars are lubricated. Removal of the

bars may become difficult.

3. Run a field wellbore pressure test as described in the section titled “Field Wellbore
Pressure Test” on page 4-8.
4. While running the field wellbore pressure test, look for external hydraulic leaks (see
Figure 4-1 on page 4-4).
5. If universal joints are installed, check them to ensure they are tight on the locking
shafts and extension pipes.

Three-Month Preventive Maintenance

1. Before opening the doors, run a field wellbore pressure test as described in the
section titled “Field Wellbore Pressure Test” on page 4-8 and a hydraulic pressure
test as described in the section titled “Opening Door” on page 3-13 and the section
titled “Hydraulic Pressure Test” on page 4-10. This information will be very helpful in
the following inspections. Also, an NOV service representative can be called at this
time if hydraulic system repairs are required.
2. While the rams are closed, turn the locking shaft approximately two turns clockwise,
and then turn them back to the fully unlocked position. This will verify that the
manual locks function satisfactorily.
3. Remove the T-bars or universal joints from the locking shafts.
4. Open the rams with 1,500 psi (103 bar).
5. Bleed all hydraulic pressure to 0 psi (0 bar).
6. Open the doors and remove the rams (see the section titled “Opening Door” on
page 3-13 and the section titled “Ram Assembly Removal and Inspection” on
page 4-17).
7. Clean and inspect rams (see the section titled “Ram Assembly Removal and
Inspection” on page 4-17).
8. Wash out the inside of the BOP so it can be inspected.
9. Remove minor pits and scratches from the ram rubber sealing surface with emery
cloth.
10. Check the bore for accidental damage. Smooth as required. Occasionally the drill
pipe will rotate against the bore and cause wear. Measure the maximum bore
diameter, and estimate the maximum wear on any side. If any radius is more than
1⁄ ″ (3.18 mm) oversize, send the BOP to an NOV repair facility for a complete
8
rework.

Yearly Preventive Maintenance

Yearly maintenance is performed by an NOV service representative. The purpose of the
yearly maintenance operation is to evaluate wear in the BOP so a major overhaul
(three-year maintenance) can be scheduled at a convenient time but before a failure
occurs. The yearly maintenance includes:
R Wellbore pressure test
R Hydraulic pressure test
R Inspection and measurement of cavity for wear and damage
R Complete review of BOP performance to determine whether the BOP should be
sent to an NOV repair facility for a major overhaul

Three-Year Maintenance
Three-year maintenance is performed in an NOV repair facility after a yearly maintenance
check determines it is necessary. The BOP is completely disassembled, cleaned, and
inspected. All elastomer seals are replaced, and all parts are repaired or replaced as
required. Hydraulic and wellbore pressure tests are run, and the BOP is returned to
service.

ii
All elastomer seals should be replaced after three years
regardless of condition.

Test Fluids
The recommended wellbore pressure test fluid is cold water, but drilling fluid may be used.
1. Fill the BOP with water or drilling fluid.
2. Close the pipe rams on an appropriate test tool using 1,500 psi (103 bar) hydraulic
pressure (3,000 psi or 207 bar is optional).

Pressure Test
1. Close valves #1A, #1B, and bleeder valve. Open valve #2 (see Figure 4-3 on
page 4-8).
2. Apply 200 – 300 psi (14 – 21 bar) wellbore pressure below the rams. Close valve #2.
Hold test pressure for a minimum of 3 minutes. Check for low pressure leaks.
Monitor gauge #1.
3. Open valve #2. Increase the wellbore pressure to the test pressure determined in
the section titled “Test Pressure” on page 4-8.
4. Close valve #2.
5. Hold the pressure for a minimum of 3 minutes.
6. Check for leaks on pressure gauge #1, the BOP exterior at the API connections, the
door seals, the ram shaft weep holes, and at the rams if they are visible (see
Figure 4-1 on page 4-4).

Leak Repair
To repair leaks, reduce all hydraulic pressure and wellbore pressure to 0 psi (0 bar).
R API connection — tighten bolts or replace ring gasket as required (see step 3 on
page 3-4 in “Installation Instructions”).
R Door seal — replace the door seal (see the section titled “Door Seal Replacement”
on page 4-14).
R Ram Shaft Weep Hole — call an NOV service representative. For an emergency
repair, see the section titled “Emergency Ram Shaft Packing” on page 4-15. As
soon as possible after the emergency, call an NOV service representative to repack
the ram shaft.
R Ram — replace the ram rubbers (see the section titled “Changing Pipe and Blind
Ram Rubbers” on page 4-24).

Hydraulic Pressure Test

The final details of the test sequence will be established by the operator and contractor;
therefore, modifications to this procedure may be required. See API Spec. 6A and API
RP53, paragraph 7.A.2, for additional information.

Pipe rams should always be closed on pipe to avoid

excessive ram rubber wear. Closure on a tool joint will
damage the block.

Blind rams should only be closed on an open hole. Closing

on pipe will damage the rubber and possibly the block.

ii
If the hydraulic system was opened before this test, close
and open the rams three times to purge air from the
system.

Emergency Ram Shaft Packing

An emergency seal can be made by reducing the wellbore and hydraulic pressure to 0 psi
(0 bar) and activating the secondary ram shaft packing on the BOP (see Figure 4-4 on
page 4-16). As soon as possible after the emergency, call an NOV service representative
to repack the ram shaft.

The secondary seal material is abrasive and, if not

removed in a timely manner, will damage the ram shaft
polished OD surface. Failure to heed this caution will
require the additional cost to replace the ram shaft.

1. Remove the pipe plug from the port on the door.

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 NOV sales representative for delivery dates. Be sure to specify the
following when ordering:
R BOP size and working pressure
R Single or dual offset rams
R Tubing OD and type of coupling so the coupling OD can be determined
R Casing size and weight so 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 the ram rubber extrusion plates. Contact your local NOV sales
representative with the following information to request part numbers:

Cleaning and Storing 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 4-13).
1. Open the doors and remove the rams (see the section titled “Removal of Rams” on
page 4-17).

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.
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.
