Shallow gas is permitted to flow until depleted, or unti the well is bridged over or Killed by pumping in heavy mud. Ready during upper hole operations, a diverter is intended for use when there is a danger of penetrating a pressurized gas zone, while the casing shoe strength may not be sufficient to contain shut-in pressures. Critical need. Diverters safeguard the rig and personnel during the most dangerous phase of driling. A preponderance of blowouts has occurred at shallow driling depths where gas charged sediments lie. Much of the diverter equipment now in the field was installed before the availabilty of systems properly designed for diverting. A rash of diverter malfunctions from overly complex systems has led to serious accidents. Loss of lives and ‘equipment has brought about the design of systems that are simple, durable, and avoid risk caused by too many parts and sequential activations. Rig survivability. Massive flows of gas and sand can quickly destroy a rig's diverter system. Hyd diverters are stout to resist erosive cutout, high thrust and impact loads. They are fundamentally simple. Bends that induce turbulence are minimized. Valves, insert cartridges, linkages, and the sequencing process that frequently cause malfunction are completely eliminated. ‘Cover: FS 21-500 Marine Riser Dvoror ‘nd ts housing for oating oferoe ciling Hos.

As companion pieces to the 30 inch, 29 1/2 inch, and 21 1/4 inch annular BOP’s, they provide the protection of a blowout preventer, as well as a diverter with surface or subsea options. In addition, the SXV/MSP can be integrated within a subsea stack for floating offshore rigs. Shear ram BOP's canbe included in the subsea stack to provide valuable options. ‘The MSP 30-1000, with the largest bore of three models, is compatible with 30 inch conductor pipe, yet it can still close on open hole. ‘The SXV 30-1000 responds to the same control signal as the MSP unit, Internal view. [tthe surface, ls safely diverted annular BOP for exhausting flow in the diverting mode. Itis ‘compatible with 30 inch casing, and can be nippled-up directly to the annular BOP at the surface or be positioned subsea. It features an integral vent vaive for diverting. As the annular BOP is closed for diverting, the SXV vent line is opened simultaneously for exhaust. When converting the system from divert to the BOP ‘mode, the SXV spool outlets are simply blinded off No flowline valve is needed. Closure of the MSP unit automatically stops flow to the shale shaker, since the flowline is above the annular BOP, connected to the bell nipple. Cartridge type diverters require sequential operation of a number of valves, including the flowline valve before the annulus can be closed. Safety Valve Feature. The SXV is designed to open to vent as, the MSP closes upward flow. In the remote event that the SXV does not open on command, building of internal pressure within the SXV wil lf its annular piston and allow the fluid to vent, if no closing fluid is applied to the SXV. Upgrade is economical, since it can be made without cost of large bore valves. The SXV unit can use existing annular BOP's from various manufacturers. The SXV avoids solids jamming. Clean shutoff at the bore combats valve jamming by stagnant mud caking or ice formation. Quick nipple-up. The SXV unit can be fitted with high strength quick connects for the top, bottom, and side outlets. Big vent outlets. The SXV unit can be fitted with one or more outlets of 12, 14, or 16 inch nominal size. Expensive and fragile vent valves are eliminatedFS 21-500 Marine Riser Diverter 2 i FsDverter rig, the vavesoeve ‘Selector trough povtorstarboerd it Pipe or open hole. The chance for human error is increased by cartridge type diverters which require fetching, installing, and latching cartridge inserts. Open hole closure. The annular packing unit seals on open hole, eliminating a serious safety gap caused by cartridge inserts. The FS Diverter allows stripping while diverting, and it seals on the kelly, drill pipe, casing, or dill collars. Minimal running time. The diverter assembly will run through a 49 1/2 inch rotary table with the handling-test tool which is capable of supporting the diverter, riser, and BOP stack Reduced downtime. The design eliminates line disconnections and reconnection at each installation. The diverter assembly is laiched into the permanent housing supported by the rotary beams. Permanent attachments to the housing include flowline, ventline, filup line, overflow line, and hydraulic function connection. The FS unit is designed for fast installation and, removal. Extended packing unit life. The FS packing unit is manufactured by Hydril Rubber Operations where it undergoes Hydril’s thorough testing and quality assurance measures. Simple, safe pressure testing.

Drilships and semrisubmersibles employ a diverter for venting gas flows encountered while driling top hole through the 30 inch casing. The diverter also serves as the ‘support for the upper flex joint and the inner barrel of the riser telescopic joint, so the diverter is in place whenever the riser isin service. On a floating rig, the diverter is never used as a BOP, so its pressure rating is 500 psi.

The patented integral valve design elirinates equipment such as vent valves, flowiine valves, filup valves, and interconnecting Circuitry. There is no sequencing. The single control function applies a solitary hydraulic signal which moves the piston up and closes the annular packing unit. Allat once, the signal opens the vent line, stops upward flow, shuts off the flowline to the shaker, and shuts off the filup line. Fast response time is ensured since there is no waiting tor remote valve functions or sequencing. Built to endure the brutal beating of a shallow gas kick, the FS design avoids the structural problems that so frequently cause malfunction. It is rugged, and there are no external valves, linkages, or other fragile parts to break. The FS units fited wth abig bore vent outlet to handle large flow volume. The vent line is always open and clear since there are no valves to obstruct the vent line. Flow is always allowed. There is no closed position. Even during actuation of the flow selector, the vent line is open. There is no stagnant vent line space to allow caking of solids or ice formation that could obstruct or shut off the flow. The flow is opened immediately because of the integral piston-vent design. Always ready. Cartridge inserts are not needed to close on pipeFSP 28-2000 Diverter/BOP System igure 2 Figues arrangement of BOP’s and diiling spools as driling progresses. ‘Simple, safe testing is ensured since the packing unit does not directly contact hydraulic fluid during actuation, eliminating the dangers of rupturing packers and losing critically needed control fluid. The packing unit is pressure tested while the handling test tools in place for installation. Removal of the tool leaves the entire system unaltered, in safe operating condition. There is no need to override a control sequence to test, which risks the forgetting to restore it to correct functional mode. The FSP can be tested to full working pressure rating in either the divert or BOP mode. Extended packing unit life is the result of years of rubber manufacturing, testing, and designing at Hydril Rubber Operations. Bonded steel segments in the packing unit provide rigidity and strength to resist thrust and impact. The unit is a member of Hydril's GX annular packing unit family which limits stresses in the rubber material, improving closure cycle and stripping lite H2S service.

Its used as a diverter while driling the upper hole. After cementing the conductor pipe, it can be used as a blowout preventer. Reliability is especially important for a bottom-founded rig, since, unlike floating rigs, it cannot be moved off location to avoid a gas plume. A biowout at the casing shoe could erode the seatloor sufficiently to topple the rig Simplicity means safety. No system is simpler than the FSP Diverter. On command, one hydraulic signal to one component reroutes the flow of a well kick. With the integral valve design, the piston movement closes the upward flow path and opens the vent line for well fuid. Its single control feature eliminates the need for external valves, actuators, and interconnecting control circuitry Even when closed on large diameter pipe, the vent path is fully open. Fast response time is ensured by its simplicity. There is no waiting for valve functions or sequencing, Ruggedness and high strength characterize Hydril diverters. ‘They are designed to withstand violent thrust loads and erosive forces. There are no extemal valves, linkages, limit switches, interconnecting control lines, or other fragile parts to break. Fue 1 The vent line is always open and clear. There are no valves to obstruct the vent line, The Hydril Flow Selector, which permits manual choice of port or starboard venting, allows vent flow even during position changing, and itis never closed. There is no stagnant vent line space to permit caking of solids or formation of ice that could obstruct or shut off the flow, or jam a valve. The flow is opened immediately when the piston moves up the cylindrical wall of the diverter. There is no worry about packer inserts, which are necessary in cartridge type diverters. Fetching, instaling, and latching the packer insert cartridge can be overlooked. Without an insert installed, the diverter won't work. If the insert cartridge is in place but not properly latched down, it can be a dangerous projectile. Open hole closure is permitted by the annular packing unit which shuts off even while there is no pipe in the hole, eliminating a serious gap in safety. Typically, cartridge type diverters cannot close on open hole. Closing around drill pipe, kelly, casing, and most other tools is provided by annular packing unit design. Stripping. The FSP annular packing unit permits stripping of pipe into the hole while diverting well fluids. Quick installation and versatility is forded by high strength quick-connect couplings for fast nipple up and down.

Simple control system. A single hydraulic command executes the entire divert mode. Typically, diverters require the sequential operation of several valves before the annulus can be closed. ‘The SXV/MSP system simplifies hydraulic controls since there is no need for insert cartridge lockdown dogs, diverter lockdown dogs, and flow line seal energizing. ‘There is no need for cartridges. Annular packing units can close and seal on any size pipe in the hole without worry of remembering to insert a packer after the BHA enters the hole. This also eliminates potential for human error from incorrect latching of the cartridge, which, if not properly secured, could become a dangerous projectile in the event of a kick. Open hole closure is provided by the annular packer design. Unlike cartridge type diverters, installed annulars are always ready to protect the crew and rig from shallow gas hazard. Fast response time is ensured since there is no waiting for valve functions or sequencing. There is only a small operating fluid requirement Structural strength. Annular BOP’s are typically massive and very well secured. They can better resist thrust. impact loads, and erosion. The SXV is built to withstand severe flows. ‘Subsea diverting provides significant safety measures. Flows are discharged away from the rig and personnel. The surface piping is not subjected to erosion, high impact flow, or frictional heating. Ignition chances are greatly reduced. Flow is dispersed and diluted in the sea. ‘The SxvIMSP 30 Ine row trough el ‘Nipple Qvershot ~ SUD Us.
