Houston TX: The 5-15M K-BOS configuration (KB05A502) for very-high sour and ultra sour intervention service has the specification in the following table and is certified to meet DNV-OS-E101, January 2018 edition.
The certification is the result of having completed a comprehensive technology qualification program per DNVGL-RP-A203, including successful shear tests of specimens from 0.25″ wireline, 3.5″ drill pipe under effective compression, 2.375″ coil tubing under side load, 3.5″ drill collars, 3.5″ tool joints and a 2.875″ solid round sinker bar.
Testing included more than 5 years of accelerated lifecycle testing and temperature qualification to 350F per API 16A PR2. The KB05A502 is rated for 5,000 psi partial pressure H2S. The normally wetted components do not require maintenance during the 3 year recertification interval.
The K-BOS can Shear Anything, even heavy tubulars moving at up to 10 m/s. Its ability to shear and seal on the well in less than a second serves to minimize the resulting toxic dispersion area in the case of a loss of well control, thus dramatically enhancing the safety of operations near-by to populated or environmentally sensitive areas.
