Drilling Study Group - Pulling Your BOP Stack or Not? A Systematic Method to Making this Multi-million Dollar Decision
Pulling your BOP stack, particularly in deep water, is one of the singularly most costly events in the drilling of a well if it occurs. While in most cases this course of action is correctly undertaken, occasions occur when the stack pull could have been avoided. These regrettable incidents occur for a variety of reasons, including inadequate information and/or staff training, unclear understanding of regulatory or company requirements, and non-availability of experts to assist in the decision making due to time zone differences, among others.
