Well Control Certainty at up to 50% H2S

The design capabilities of the K‐BOS offer superior protection to work site personnel and surrounding communities in the case of an H2S release:

K‐BOS Performance Characteristics

  • Shear and Seal on any typical work string, tool or BHA.
  • Shear and seal in milliseconds VS slow moving conventional BOPs
  • Isolated Working Components
    • Well bore isolation compatible w/ unlimited H2S
    • Elastomers compatible with 50% H2S at 350F

TOXIC GAS DISPERSION RISK

The K‐BOS can dramatically reduce toxic gas exposure times and reduce potential gas volumes released to near 0.

Shown below: Artificial drilling islands and sensitive environmental areas add to the complexity drilling operations. The illustration shows the relative size of a toxic dispersion cloud with a traditional BOPE vs the minimized toxic dispersion cloud (30x smaller) achievable with the K-BOS. K-BOS enables simultaneous contiguous highrisk well operations in sour reservoirs.

Shown below: many oil fields are in close proximity to residential or industrial areas and are subject to risk of toxic release in the case of a blowout. K-BOS enables safe operations near populated areas.
