30. DIVERTER

30.1 FUNCTION

- Description

The Diverter is installed on the conductor pipe before drilling of first phase of the well and isdesigned to keep

personnel and Rig safe.It consist of an annular type blow out preventer and is designed to divert shallow gas away

fromthe well area while drilling surface hole.In doing so, the well remains open but diverting the pressure avoids

fracturing a formation.

- Manufacture specifications

Diverter system are manufactured according to API 16A and RP 64.The relevant ISO standard is the 13533 Spec.EN

requirements are defined by "Well control policy" and an internal specification.

30.2 TYPICAL CONFIGURATION

- Off-shore application (APIRP 64) Schematic arrangement foran off-shore application, asper API RP 64

recommendations.

30.3 TYPES AND CHARACTERISTICS

- Hydril MSP

The 29 " Diverter is the most commonlyused.It allows the running of 27" bit.For fast moving type Rigs, uses the

20"annular BOPThe MSP 29-1/2"-500 requires onlyclosing pressure. Seal off is effected by hydraulicpressureapplied to the closing chamber whichraises the piston, moving the packing unit radially inward into a sealing

engagement. Any normal closing unit having aseparate regulator valve for the annular BOP and sufficient accumulator

volumecan be used to operate the MSP.
