We provide Shear Testing, Shear Calculations, Accumulator Calculations, and Verification of Maintenance and Testing. Since 2010, Foley Engineering has provided over 2,100 shear and accumulator calculations for BSEE permit applications. Now we also provide third-party verification services for surface BOP stacks, as required by the 2016 BSEE Well Control Rules.
A pressure test must be performed immediately after shearing, demonstrating that the BOP will seal at RWP for 30 minutes. The independent third party must provide verification that the BOP will shear all of the pipe used in the well at the MASP. Shear calculations determine the theoretical system pressure required to shear the pipe at MASP. The theoretical results are validated by the physical shear test.
The calculations must demonstrate that two criteria are met: 1) the calculated shear pressure, at MASP, must be less than the system pressure rating of the BOP AND less than the system pressure available, and 2) the pipe used in the physical shear test is stronger than all of the pipe to be used in the well.
