Precision-machined surfaces and multi-layer sealing (U-seals, O-rings) prevent hydraulic fluid leakage and ensure smooth operation.
Middle Flange Sealing System: Utilizes a floating seal assembly (C23.17.00) with end face and side sealing rings, achieving reliable sealing between the BOP housing and middle flange to withstand high wellbore pressures.
Anti-Sulfur Material Selection: All structural components in contact with sour media are manufactured from anti-sulfur alloy steel, complying with NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 standards to prevent sulfide stress cracking (SSC) in H₂S-containing environments.
Hydraulic Actuation Compatibility: Designed to integrate with standard well control hydraulic systems, ensuring synchronized operation with other BOP components (e.g., annular BOPs) for comprehensive well control.
Applicable Operating Conditions
These Ram BOP models are engineered for use in onshore and offshore oil and gas drilling operations, particularly suited for the following conitions:
Pressure Range: Rated working pressure of 105 MPa (15,000 psi), suitable for high-pressure well drilling and completion operations.
Fluid Environment: Compatible with sour well fluids containing H₂S (up to NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 Class I standards), as well as conventional oil-based and water-based drilling fluids.
Wellbore Sizes: Accommodates drill pipe diameters from 2 3/8” to 10 3/4” through interchangeable ram assemblies, supporting vertical, deviated, and horizontal wells.
Operating Temperatures: Suitable for ambient temperatures ranging from -20°C to 120°C (-4°F to 248°F), adapting to both cold and high-temperature drilling environments.
Application Scenarios: Exploration and production wells, sour gas wells, high-pressure/high-temperature (HPHT) wells, and emergency well control operations.
Maintenance & Care Recommendations
Proper maintenance of 2FZ35-105UMK and FZ35-105UMK Ram BOPs is critical to ensuring operational reliability and extending service life. The following recommendations align with industry best practices and equipment technical specifications:
Regular Inspection: Conduct weekly visual inspections of ram assemblies, sealing elements, and hydraulic connections for signs of wear, corrosion, or leakage. Perform monthly disassembly inspections of rubber cores—replace cores with cracks, deformation, or excessive wear (typically every 3-6 months under normal operation).
Sealing System Maintenance: Check O-rings, U-seals, and support rings for damage or aging; replace all sealing elements every 6-12 months or after a blowout emergency. Apply secondary sealing grease (EM-09-01) to the secondary sealing device quarterly to ensure lubrication and sealing performance.
Hydraulic Component Care: Clean hydraulic piston rods and guide rings regularly to remove debris; apply anti-corrosion lubricant to prevent rust. Inspect one-way valves (2C01.07) and cocks (2C01.20) for blockages, ensuring unobstructed hydraulic flow.
Anti-Sulfur Maintenance: For sour well operations, conduct annual material testing of anti-sulfur components to verify resistance to SSC. Avoid using non-compliant replacement parts, as they may compromise structural integrity in H₂S environments.
Storage & Handling: When not in use, store ram assemblies and sealing parts in a dry, dust-free environment at 0°C to 25°C (32°F to 77°F). Avoid direct sunlight and contact with oil or chemical solvents that may damage rubber components.

Field Fault Repair Cases
The following real-world cases provide practical references for troubleshooting common faults of 2FZ35-105UMK and FZ35-105UMK Ram BOPs, helping maintenance teams resolve issues efficiently:
Case 1: Pipe Ram Sealing Failure
Symptom: During well pressure testing, the 3 1/2” pipe ram failed to seal the annular space, resulting in pressure leakage. Root Cause: Front rubber core (2C16.01A.01) was worn unevenly due to prolonged contact with irregular pipe surfaces, and the top rubber core had minor cracks. Repair: Replaced both front and top rubber cores with genuine parts (P/N: 2C16.01A.01 and 2C16.01A.02.00H), cleaned the ram body sealing surface, and performed a pressure test at 105 MPa—sealing performance was restored. Preventive Measure: Increase the frequency of rubber core inspections for wells with irregular drill pipe surfaces.
Case 2: Shear Ram Cutting Inefficiency
Symptom: The shear ram failed to completely shear the 5 1/2” drill pipe during emergency testing. Root Cause: The lower tool bit (P/N: 644581-02-00-01) was dulled by previous use, and the shear ram body alignment was slightly off. Repair: Replaced the upper and lower tool bits, adjusted the ram body alignment using set screws (644582-01), and tested shear performance with a test pipe—complete cutting was achieved within the specified hydraulic pressure. Preventive Measure: Inspect tool bit sharpness after each shear operation and replace every 2-3 uses.
Case 3: Main Piston Hydraulic Leakage
Symptom: Hydraulic fluid leakage was observed at the main piston assembly (C23.08.00) during ram actuation. Root Cause: The U-seal (Φ370Xφ400X22/24) was damaged due to improper lubrication, and the support ring (Φ385×Φ400×2.75) was deformed. Repair: Disassembled the main piston, replaced the U-seal and support ring, applied hydraulic lubricant to the piston surface, and conducted a leakage test—no leakage was detected after 10 cycles of ram operation. Preventive Measure: Apply lubricant to sealing elements during each maintenance cycle and inspect support rings for deformation.
Case 4: Secondary Sealing Device Blockage
Symptom: The secondary sealing device failed to inject grease, preventing on-site sealing maintenance. Root Cause: The one-way valve (2C01.07) was blocked by contaminated grease, and the cock (2C01.20) had internal debris. Repair: Disassembled and cleaned the one-way valve and cock, replaced the contaminated secondary sealing grease with EM-09-01, and tested grease injection—smooth operation was restored. Preventive Measure: Use only specified grease and clean the secondary sealing system every 3 months.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Question | Answer |
Can the pipe ram assemblies of 2FZ35-105UMK and FZ35-105UMK be interchanged? | Yes, the pipe ram assemblies (C16.01().00H series) of the two models are fully interchangeable, as they share the same structural design and mounting dimensions. However, ensure the ram size matches the drill pipe diameter and the BOP working pressure rating. |
What is the service life of the rubber cores in sour well environments? | In sour well environments (H₂S-containing), the service life of NBR rubber cores is typically 3-4 months under normal operation. For high-H₂S concentrations (exceeding 1000 ppm), replace rubber cores every 2 months to prevent corrosion-induced failure. |
Are non-genuine replacement parts compatible with these BOP models? | It is not recommended to use non-genuine parts. Genuine parts (e.g., 2C16 series, DPR35105 series) are manufactured to anti-sulfur and high-pressure standards, while non-genuine parts may not meet NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 requirements, increasing the risk of equipment failure and safety hazards. |
How to verify the alignment of the shear ram assembly? | After installing the shear ram, use a dial indicator to measure the parallelism of the upper and lower tool bits. The allowable deviation is ≤0.1 mm. If misaligned, adjust the set screws (200231 and 644582-01) until alignment meets specifications, then conduct a test cut with a sample pipe. |
What is the recommended frequency for replacing the main piston sealing elements? | Under normal operating conditions, replace the main piston U-seals, O-rings, and support rings every 6-12 months. For wells with frequent ram actuation (more than 50 cycles per month) or harsh environments (HPHT, high H₂S), shorten the replacement cycle to 3-6 months. |
