ABSTRACT:
A blowout preventer control system has been developed with a pod with features which include a retractable internal stab with fixed internal hydraulic connection lines to the blowout preventer. The hydraulic connection lines are connected by pressure activated packer seals. The stab also has an electrical connector to the blowout preventer which uses a guide which proper aligns the pins of the connector without any rotation. The piping of the control system uses an adjustable length type tubing to reduce the binding on the pipe. A lost motion float is used reduce the loading on the connection bolts of the system. The entire system is enclosed with plates with keep the expended hydraulic fluid in contact with the internal mechanisms. The transducers and seal subs are located for easy accessibility with no disruption of the surrounding elements of the system.
