TGCC Chapter Meeting February 2017

Model Based Engineering of Blowout Preventer Hydraulic Controls

Blowout preventer (BOP) is electro-hydraulic equipment for managing wellbore fluids and for sealing the well in the event of influx. Performance and reliability analysis of blowout preventers have many challenges due to size, complexity and sensor availability. Mete will present  the application of model based methods to assess design and availability of blowout preventer hydraulic control circuits.
