A computer-aided engineering (CAE) toolkit is disclosed that streamlines and automates aspects of a CAE simulation to validate the designs of pressure-controlling components, such as BOP rams. The CAE toolkit enables a designer to provide a model of a pressure-controlling component, and to provide property values that describe aspects of the system to be modeled. Based on these inputs, the CAE toolkit generates a model for the system that includes the pressure-controlling component, as well as any other components that will be part of the simulation. The CAE toolkit can automatically generate a finite element analysis (FEA) model from the system model, and then use the FEA model to perform a simulation of the pressure-controlling component during operation. The CAE toolkit enables a designer with no training or experience with CAE or FEA techniques to perform and automate simulations of the operation of a pressure-controlling component design.

A blowout preventer incudes a body having a bore and first and second guideways; a first ram movably positioned relative to the first guideway and movable toward the bore, the first ram including a first blade including at least one flat side; a first blunt leading contour running parallel to a plane of the flat side along a distal end of the first blade; at least one upper inclined surface above the first blunt leading contour; and at least one lower declined surface below the first blunt leading contour, wherein the first blade is positioned and is movable above a first plane; a second ram movably positioned relative to the second guideway and movable toward the bore, the second ram including a second blade including a second blunt leading contour; and at least one lower declined surface, wherein the second blade is positioned and is movable below the first plane.

The present disclosure relates to a system that includes a ram configured to mount in a blowout preventer. The ram includes a packer assembly configured to form a seal between the ram and a bore formed through the blowout preventer and an insert of the packer assembly, where the insert is coupled to a surface of the ram via a key-slot interface.

A blowout preventer (BOP) includes a main body comprising a bore extending therethrough and a pair of opposing upper and lower rams configured to shear a tubular extending through the bore. The upper ram includes a first sloped surface oriented crosswise to a vertical axis, the lower ram comprises a second sloped surface oriented crosswise to the vertical axis, and the first sloped surface and the second sloped surface are parallel to one another.

A blowout preventer for shearing structures positioned in a bore extending through the blowout preventer, the blowout preventer body having a bore and guideways, first and second rams movably positioned relative the guideways and movable toward the bore, a blade of the first ram having a flat side, a blunt leading contour, an upper inclined surface above the blunt leading contour, and a lower declined below the blunt leading contour, a blade of the second ram having a leading contour and at least one lower declined surface.

A multi-metallic pressure-controlling component and a hot isostatic pressure (HIP) manufacturing process and system are disclosed. An example multi-metallic component for use in the oil field services industry includes a first metal alloy that forms a first portion of the multi-metallic pressure-controlling component, and a second metal alloy that forms a second portion of the multi-metallic pressure-controlling component. A diffusion bond is disposed at an interface between the first metal alloy and the second metal alloy that joins the first metal alloy to the second metal alloy within the multi-metallic pressure-controlling component.

Hot isostatic pressing (HIP) fabrication of multi-metallic components for pressure-controlling equipment

A multi-metallic pressure-controlling component and a hot isostatic pressure (HIP) manufacturing process and system are disclosed. An example multi-metallic ram includes a first portion formed from a first metal alloy, a second portion formed from a second metal alloy, and a diffusion bond at an interface between the first metal alloy and the second metal alloy that joins the first metal alloy to the second metal alloy within the multi-metallic ram.

The present disclosure relates to a ram system for a blowout preventer. The ram system includes a first ram having an interlocking arm, where the interlocking arm includes a first anti-deflection feature. The ram system includes a second ram having a second anti-deflection feature. The first ram and the second ram are configured to move toward one another along a longitudinal axis to reach an engaged configuration. The second ram is configured to receive the interlocking arm of the first ram to enable the first anti-deflection feature to engage with the second anti-deflection feature while the first ram and the second ram are in the engaged configuration to thereby enable the first and second anti-deflection features to block deflection of the interlocking arm relative to a lateral axis, an axial axis, or both.

Shear ram for a blowout preventer

A blowout preventer (BOP) includes a main body that includes a bore extending through the main body. The BOP also includes a cavity intersecting the bore and a pair of opposing shear rams configured to shear a tubular located in the bore. The opposing shear rams are two duplicate shear rams.
