100 Years of BOP Innovation – From Iron to Electrification
2022 marks the 100th anniversary of the invention of the Blowout Preventer (BOP), an innovation that revolutionized oil and gas safety standards. In this SPE Tech Talk, SLB will provide a brief overview of the evolution of the BOP and the value it brings to drilling operations using specific examples of innovations, including the first BOP in 1922, ram technology (sealing and shear/seal), and next-generation electrification.
