1. INTRODUCTION TO DUAL BOP CONTROL SYSTEM
The control system consists of two semi-independent BOP control systems, Mux (6-
Ram) BOP and Hydraulic (5-Ram) BOP.
The BOP control system equipment can be categorized in to one of these 3 groups:
• Dedicated to MUX BOP (Drillers/Toolpushers, CCP & EWS M/S
panels and Subsea pods)
• Dedicated to HYD BOP (Drillers/Toolpushers, CCP/EWS panels
and Surface Control Panel)
• Common equipment - shared between both BOPs (HPU/Mixer,
Diverter Panels and UPS 1&2)
The block diagram 10659592-DIA detail the overall system architecture and location of
major equipment.

SELECTION OF ACTIVE BOP WILL BE COVERED WITH ODFJELL PTW PROCEDURE AND
CHECKLIST. KEY IS KEPT SAFE WITH THE DRILLING SECTION LEADER ONBOARD. ONCE THE
SELECTION IS MADE THE KEY IS RETURNED TO THE DSL DURING CLOSING THE PTW.
Only one BOP control system can be used for active drilling at any one time.
The active system will be selected by a 2 position key-switch (MUX/HYD) and indicated by a
lamp located on the CCP panel of each system.
The common Elements HPUMIXER and Diverter is always assigned to the active BOP system
selected
The selection is valid when key-switches on both systems match. This is indicated by System
Active lamp illuminated on the active system only.
Based on the BOP selected, cyberbase System only shows the Information of the active BOP
to driller.
The Drillers and Toolpushers panels of the In-active system will display “INACTIVE” and will
NOT allow any BOP control and will NOT display the BOP status to avoid confusion during
drilling.
3. OVERVIEW OF ACTIVE BOP SELECTION
16. www.odfjelldrilling.com
The Bridge EDS system has independent Control panels for both MUX and HYD BOP
Only BOP in operation can be activated (EDS) from the bridge if needed.
When Bridge EDS is activated it Will follow the sequence selected already from either Driller or
Toolpusher panel. NO SEQUENCE SELECTION IS POSSIBLE FROM BRIDGE
Driller and Toolpusher Panels Touchscreens has indication on the Overview page to show where
EDS was activated and the sequence selected.

4. BOP selection/de-selection Interlocks
To de-activate the MUX system and activate the HYD system, the Pod Select must be in
Block and the Blue & Yellow Pod Power Off.
To de-activate the HYD system and activate the MUX system, the Pod Select must be in
Block.
If the interlocking condition is not met, the System Active lamp will flash with alarm
annunciated in all panels and the last valid selection will remain in place.
The common Elements HPUMIXER and Diverter is always assigned to the active BOP system
selected.
The BOP Active lamp will begin flashing when the local and remote key switch selections do
not match.
A “HIGH PRIORITY” alarm will be generated on the EWS TPDP if the key-switches are not
matching for longer than 15 seconds

5. Surface BOP Testing Mode interlock
ODFJELL PERMIT TO WORK AND PROCEDURES WILL NEED TO BE PROVIDED TO ENABLE
THIS TESTING FEATURE
The test capability for the “INACTIVE” system built in to the EWS will allow an operator to test
the inactive stack on the deck whilst drilling with the active system. This will be limited to Stack
and LMRP functions only.
Key switch selection should be in correct position, EWS test mode is not available when BOP
is active and in operation.
Pod needs to be Powered off and blocked before entering EWS test mode.
Only supervisor login can be used to Enter EWS TEST MODE.
The EWS screen has EWS test mode push button which only appears when BOP is inactive.
The EWS screen has REQUEST HMI CONTROL Push button which enables functions to be
operated and only stays active for 30 sec at One given moment.
To exit EWS TEST MODE, POD’s need to be in Block position and Powered Down mode.

6. SYSTEM REDUNDANCY KEY FEATURES
The BOP Control System design includes for redundancy of critical components as
detailed below:
UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) – UPS1&2 located in different rooms
Main Controller (Executes the BOP logic) – Main Cont. A located in CCP and B in
Toolpusher panel
Communication Networks – Two independent Ethernet / fiber comms. networks
and switches for both MUX and HYD BOP
Drillers & Toolpushers BOP Control panel – located in different rooms
Drillers/Toolpushers panel OIT (Operator Interface Terminal) – Two OITs on
each panel (each OIT has full functionality independent of the other OIT)
Panel Power supplies – each panel is supplied from both UPS’s and fitted with
redundant PSUs
EWS (Engineering Work Station) – Two (Master & Stand-by) EWS located in
different rooms (Only applicable to MUX system)

25. www.odfjelldrilling.com
Subsea Pods – Two (Blue & Yellow) independent subsea pods (Only applicable
to 6 Ram system)
Subsea I/O – duplex I/O modules
AADvance Controllers – redundant CPUs
HYD BOP Control manifold has blue and yellow pod surface select, in additional
to mechanical Control in case of loss of Electrics.
PUSH & HOLD FUNCTION for two handed operation prevents the accidental
operation of any control function.
If a P&H button input is “stuck-on” for greater than 30 seconds the input is
inhibited, effectively disabling the pushbutton. Stuck P&H inputs are alarmed at
the EWS to an individual button level.
‘Lamp test’ button is provided on each Drillers, Toolpushers, CCP, SCP,
HPU/Mixer and Diverter Panel.

3RD PARTY SERIAL COMMS INTERFACES
A simplex AB ControlLogix PLC is installed in the CCP to act as Firewall and
provide interface with 3rd party (not supplied by RA) systems. This
provides a read only link for data acquisition by 3rd party control systems
as listed:
Drilling Control System
Dynamic Positioning System
Black Box (NOV supplied - Future)
3RD PARTY HARDWIRED INTERFACES
Relays with volt free contact fitted with line monitoring resistors are installed in the
CCP to provide output interface with 3rd party (not supplied by RA) systems as
listed:

8. Alarm management system
Alarm management system complies With Norsok / YA711 standards
Alarm shelving function available but High priority alarms cannot be shelved
Once an alarm has been selected for shelving from the alarm list, the operator will
be prompted to specify the time period for shelving (in minutes) and a reason for
shelving the alarm (via a comment field).
The below table shows the different alarm priorities colors

9. BOP Function Control – Guarded Functions
For these functions, control actions from the HMI will require confirmation by pop- up dialog
displayed in the lower left corner of the screen.
The guarded functions are identified by a different background color from the non-guarded
functions (red/white stripes instead of grey) or by a blue/yellow border (like on Push Button
based control panel mimic).

10. FUNCTION LOGGER
The primary purpose of the function logger is to count, display and maintenance tracking / reporting the operations
of the components of the Stack in accordance with NOV's Function Counting specification.
The Function Logger also provides a history of alarm activity that can be printed and the presentation of simple
trends of key logged stack operational parameters.
The Function Logger is only available whilst the EWS Master is running; in the event that the EWS Master is offline
then the EWS Standby stores data for forwarding on recovery of the EWS Master.
The data stored by the Function Logger is maintained in a series of databases for the period 90 days. After this
time the database is archived and stored.
The Function Logger user interface is presented via the Firefox browser. The information presented is query based
and does not dynamically refresh.
Two separate Function Loggers are provided, one for HYD BOP control system and one for MUX BOP.
