Abstract
A technique facilitates reliable operation of a blowout preventer (BOP) system. The reliable operation is achieved by utilizing a ram with improved strength so as to make it better able to resist the stresses from shearing without increasing the thickness of the ram blade. As a result, a high level of efficiency is maintained during a shearing action. According to an embodiment, a blowout preventer system comprises a blowout preventer shear ram assembly having a ram for shearing a tubular member. The ram comprises a main body and a blade extending from the main body. Additionally, a ramp buttress is secured to the blade to strengthen the blade and to improve the shearing action.
