e-UBDTM Operations by ABEL Engineering/Well Control Co. Houston, Texas
e-UBD vs conventional UBD e-UBD is “extreme” conditions - high pressure - temperature - flow volume - toxicity (H2S) - corrosion (CO2) Risk reduction - environmental risk (multiple barriers to flow, hi SF) - personnel hazard - equipment exposure
e-UBD advantages Employs snubbing technology (Snub Loop) and provide multiple flow barriers which is far superior to single barrier conventional UBD rotating head systems HP separator (Solids Removal System) to eliminate erosion and line/choke plugging hazards Supervised by highly trained pressure control professionals accustomed to pressure control operations.
Pressure Control Unique Features Working pressure = BOP rating (10K) Dual barriers engaged at all times Seal is on tube at ALL times Blow-by, leaks are diverted via rotating head anti-ejection system for drilling operations
Snubbing inserts allow rotation extend element life
