Hydril Deepwater Drilling System
Reliable to the Extremes
Hydril: A Deep Commitment to Blowout Prevention
The annular blowout preventer. The first hydraulically operated blowout preventer (BOP), and a history of record-
setting and market-changing technologies that reaches back to 1933. At Hydril, we work to increase the world’s
energy potential, and we do so by designing, manufacturing and marketing the tools and technologies that
protect both the environment and oilfield personnel.
Wherever drilling meets high pressure, high temperature (HPHT) extremes, the biggest names in the business rely
on Hydril Pressure Control. Our shallow-to-medium depth, piloted subsea systems and high-quality surface BOP
control units make easy work of demanding applications in extreme environments. And in the critical deepwater
environment, the Hydril Deepwater Multiplex (MUX) BOP Control System repeatedly sets benchmarks for reliability
and time spent on bottom.
Count on Hydril to continuously redefine reliability, with best-performing, world-class, industry-leading systems.
Pushing the Limits
Reliable BOP technology combined with advanced hydraulic circuit design, state of the art hardware and software
design, robust materials and complete lifecycle support ranks Hydril systems among the most technically superior
deepwater drilling systems in the world. Our current system can be configured to reach 12,500 ft below sea level,
but we won’t stop there. Look to future Hydril technologies to push both HPHT and water depth capabilities.
A never-satisfied position on technological advances combined with a commitment to quality, performance and
excellence has made Hydril synonymous with world class blowout prevention.
Works easily with a broad
range of equipment
Hydril systems are as flexible as
they are durable. Our commitment
to open architecture means we
can adapt the Hydril MUX BOP
control system to manage multiple
stack configurations and interface
with other shipboard computer systems, including DP
systems, installation and workover interfaces, tree-handling
systems and more.
Battle-tested and
universally certified
software
More than 50 man-years have
gone into developing the full life
cycle of our software. Hydril meets
the certification and compliance
guidelines for every applicable
international standard.
Full lifecycle reliability
studies and testing
Extensive system tests subject
all components to real-world
work environments—those
environmental extremes
encountered by our
customers—including:
• Subsea Electronic Module (SEM) Electronics: Vibration
and shock subsea and extreme temperature testing on
the deck.
• All electronics assemblies and major components are
extreme temperature rated.
• Pod SPM valves, shear seal pilot valves and regulators:
Life cycle testing performed.
• All pod components: Tested at 5,600-psi external
pressure at ambient and low temperatures.
Integrated testing of the
complete control system
before shipment
We can conduct complete end-
to-end testing of the stack, pods
and MUX control system in our
deepwater assembly building. In
our control system test lab we can
load any system’s software and troubleshoot issues that are
occurring in the field, shortening downtime and providing as
close to a real world working environment as possible.
Real time diagnostic and
monitoring capabilities
Vital information is at your fingertips

pressure switches are displayed in real time on the
event screen.
• Active Alarms Screen: Continuously maintain
observance of any system issues. The active alarms
screen displays all active alarms in real time.
• Alarm Log Screen: View in real time the conditions that
caused an alarm to become active or inactive without
accessing a database or archival system.
• Network Topology Screen: View in real time a status
display of processor, disk and memory utilization for
all system nodes—those separate processors that
exist on a network—and the network interface status for
each network on all nodes. Examples of nodes include
six (6) in the CCU (two (2) system controller, two (2)
communication controller, and two (2) utility
processors), two (2) in the driller’s panel, two (2) in the
tool pusher’s panel, the HPU and the diverter.
• System Configuration Screen: View the online/offline
status of all system nodes and all Hydril applications, as
well as whether the applications are operating in primary,
secondary or backup role. Also view the communication,
master/slave and online/offline status of all SEMS.
Unparalleled safety
features
While each control system includes
many features designed to
maximize uptime, two independent
options can also be added to
increase operations safety under
specific emergency conditions:
Hydril Autoshear
The Hydril autoshear option adds valves to the MUX control
pod and BOP stack, creating a hydraulic circuit that, once
activated, performs automatic well shut-in under emergency
conditions. In the armed state, the autoshear feature initiates
when pilot pressure is removed from the hydraulic autoshear
valve on the stack, as in the unplanned disconnect of the
Lower Marine Riser Package (LMRP) from the BOP stack.
Hydraulic fluid from the stack mounted accumulators passes
through the open valve to the close ports on the BOP,
activating the blind shear rams to protect the well bore.
The Hydril Autoshear option satisfies the requirements of
the “Deadman” as defined in American Petroleum Institute
publication 16D, Specification for Control Systems for Drilling
Well Control Equipment and Control Systems for Diverter
Equipment. This occurs when the control pod suffers a
catastrophic loss of both electrical power and hydraulic
fluid pressure, as in the case of the riser parting.
Electrohydraulic (E/H) Backup System
In the rare event that the subsea BOP Control System is
inaccessible or nonfunctional, an optional independent
control system known as the E/H backup system can be
used to initiate emergency disconnect operations.
The E/H backup system includes a small control panel
powered by its own uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and
dedicated conductors located in the MUX control cable that
connect directly to specific circuits in the MUX control POD.
The circuits in the control POD are dedicated to perform the
minimum operations to allow the LMRP to disconnect from
the BOP stack during these emergency situations. Users
control the EH backup system with an E/H backup panel
or through the E/H backup panel control screen on the
toolpusher’s or driller’s panels. This option is often used as
an alternative to an acoustic back-up system.

Unparalleled safety
features
While each control system includes
many features designed to
maximize uptime, two independent
options can also be added to
increase operations safety under
specific emergency conditions:
Hydril Autoshear
The Hydril autoshear option adds valves to the MUX control
pod and BOP stack, creating a hydraulic circuit that, once
activated, performs automatic well shut-in under emergency
conditions. In the armed state, the autoshear feature initiates
when pilot pressure is removed from the hydraulic autoshear
valve on the stack, as in the unplanned disconnect of the
Lower Marine Riser Package (LMRP) from the BOP stack.
Hydraulic fluid from the stack mounted accumulators passes
through the open valve to the close ports on the BOP,
activating the blind shear rams to protect the well bore.
The Hydril Autoshear option satisfies the requirements of
the “Deadman” as defined in American Petroleum Institute
publication 16D, Specification for Control Systems for Drilling
Well Control Equipment and Control Systems for Diverter
Equipment. This occurs when the control pod suffers a
catastrophic loss of both electrical power and hydraulic
fluid pressure, as in the case of the riser parting.
Electrohydraulic (E/H) Backup System
In the rare event that the subsea BOP Control System is
inaccessible or nonfunctional, an optional independent
control system known as the E/H backup system can be
used to initiate emergency disconnect operations.
The E/H backup system includes a small control panel
powered by its own uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and
dedicated conductors located in the MUX control cable that
connect directly to specific circuits in the MUX control POD.
The circuits in the control POD are dedicated to perform the
minimum operations to allow the LMRP to disconnect from
the BOP stack during these emergency situations. Users
control the EH backup system with an E/H backup panel
or through the E/H backup panel control screen on the
toolpusher’s or driller’s panels. This option is often used as
an alternative to an acoustic back-up system.

6. SURFACE COMPONENTS:
1) Automatic Hydraulic Power Units
Rapidly charge the accumulator banks with the electric motor-
driven positive displacement hydraulic pumps in Hydril’s pumping
units. Designed to meet customer specifications and applicable
regulations, each power unit offers ease of use, long service life
and the functions and refinements born of many years’ experience.
Features include:
• Three (3) electric motor-driven pumps per standard pump unit.
• Identified connections for rapid installation and easy inspection.
2) Fluid Reservoir Unit (FRU)/Mixing System
Hydril’s FRU/Mixing System pumps the proper mixture of hydraulic
fluid concentrate, water and antifreeze from storage reservoirs into
the mixed control fluid reservoir, providing the necessary lubricity
and freeze protection to maintain reliable BOP stack operations and
long service life. Electrically driven metering pumps are mounted
with the reservoir assembly.
3) Accumulator Banks
The Hydril nitrogen-oil separator type accumulator is ideal for
furnishing the hydraulic power to operate blowout preventers,
valves and connectors from surface and subsea accumulator
banks. When stripping drill pipe through closed annular blowout
preventers or dampening quick acting control circuits, it also
functions as a surge absorber.
4) Driller’s Control Panel
Achieve full system control at the driller’s control panel. As the
primary control station it provides for full control of the BOP stack
and selected auxiliary functions. The panel design permits well
control operations as required, even in adverse conditions. Units
can be provided to meet requirements for hazardous area operation
and all specifications and regulations.
5) Toolpusher’s Panel
Designed for operation in safe (non-hazardous) areas, the
toolpusher’s panel provides the same functionality as the driller’s
control panel, and serves as a secondary control station.
6) Central Control Unit (CCU)
The CCU provides a common communications interface point for
all surface panels and the subsea MUX pods. The CCU is designed
to operate in safe (non-hazardous) areas. It contains control
computers and network equipment and serves as a third
control station.
7) Uninterruptible Power System (UPS)
Should a power failure occur on the rig, the UPS provides a 2
hour minimum emergency power reserve for remote control panel
operation and instrumentation. The system includes heavy-duty
batteries, a rack and a battery charging control unit. It provides
electricity to all electrically powered components with the exception
of the electric motors.
8) Power Distribution Panels (PDP)
Control the flow of power to and from each component of the
MUX control system with the PDP. Our unique system architecture
provides maximum reliability of quality power, ensuring that a power
surge or loss of a major power bus will not affect operation.
9) Hose/Cable Reels
Hose and cable reels provide live function and assured control of
the hose or electric cable during running and retrieving operations.
Reels are also available with constant torque winches for constant
tension on cables and hoses.
10) Hydril FS™ 21-500 Marine Riser Diverter
Hydril diverters are known for significantly enhancing safety and rig
protection. The FS 21-500, in particular, is fundamentally simplistic,
designed to avoid the functional complexities that increase the
chance for human error and equipment breakdown. With models
available for use with 49-1/2” and 60-1/2” rotary tables, the FS 21-
500 is readily adapted to fit virtually any rig configuration. Moreover:
• It closes on the open hole, eliminating a serious safety
gap caused by cartridge inserts.
• It is used in conjunction with the Seal-All™ Diverter Insert
to enhance safety further.
• The patented integral valve design eliminates sequencing
of diverter valves and simplifies the control system’s need
to operate the diverter system.
• There is no stagnant vent line space, caking of solids or
ice formation that could obstruct or shut off the flow.
• Both models are rated for 2 million lbs up or down loading.
SUBSEA COMPONENTS
11) Hydril Blowout Preventer Stack
Hydril invented the annular BOP and the hydraulically operated
BOP. Since 1933 Hydril has been redefining reliability and pushing
the limits of BOP technology. The deepwater BOP stack can be
configured with a variety of Hydril’s proven BOPs.
12) Multiplex Control Pod
The unique wedge-shaped Hydril subsea control pod assembly
includes a male pod and female receiver and houses the subsea
valve control manifold. The compact design features subplate-
mounted control valves and pressure regulators for all subsea
hydraulically controlled functions—96 in all. Two control pods on
each stack provide system duplicity, and one receiver attaches to
the Lower Marine Riser Package (LMRP).
13) Shuttle Valves
Long life, dependable Hydril shuttle valves compatible with the
control system are available in 1 1/2”, 1” and 1/2” sizes.
14) Subsea Accumulator Racks
Stack-mounted accumulator banks are equipped with a common
header—these subsea racks are hinge-mounted to the BOP Stack
frame and swing clear of BOP components for ease of inspection
and maintenance. If required, an option using large volume bottles
(80, 160 gallon) eliminates the need for swing frame racks.
15) Subsea Electronics Module (SEM)
The two SEM units located on each control pod provide a fully
redundant system for control of all subsea valve operations and all
communications with the central control unit (CCU).
16) Gas Handler™
Hydril diverter systems are designed for strength and simplicity
to provide safe venting of shallow gas flows. Located below the
telescopic joint, the Gas Handler (GH) adds capabilities to standard
diverter systems. The GH is a specialized annular closing device
installed as part of the riser string for deepwater drilling. It allows the
operator to circulate out gas entrapped in the riser string without
the requirement to vent mud and/or gas overboard. This product
has quick response time, a low risk of malfunction and several other
unique features and benefits that include:
• A 21” bore for easy passage of casing and well bore tools.
• Available in both single and dual configurations.
• Economical, easy installation, recovery and maintenance; the
GH installs as a standard riser joint.
• Adaptable for any rig or riser system.
• Enhances safety for personnel and the rig.
17) Riser Fill-Up Valve
The Hydril Riser Fill-Up Valve prevents collapse of the subsea riser
wall due to a sudden evacuation of drilling fluids from the riser.
Sudden evacuations can occur during unplanned events such as a
disconnect of the LMRP or a failure in the lower riser section. The
Hydril Riser Fill-Up Valve backfills the drilling riser with seawater
as heavier drilling fluid evacuates the riser from the bottom. This
prevents creation of a vacuum inside the riser that would collapse
it. The Fill-Up Valve can be set to open automatically due to a
sudden pressure differential inside and outside the riser, or it may be
operated manually.
ACCESSORIES
18) Acoustic Control System (Emergency)
Similar to the E/H backup system, the acoustic control system has
a separate stack-mounted acoustic pod for performing emergency
disconnect operations. The system uses an acoustic link from the
surface rather than the dedicated electrical circuits used by the
E/H backup.
19) Cable/Hose Reel Control Console
Each of the two (2) Multiplex Cable Reels and one (1) Hot Line Reel
are controlled from the freestanding control console. Manufactured
from mild stainless steel, the console provides for the mounting of
the control valves, gauges and indicators.
20) Cable/Hose Sheaves
The half-moon MUX cable sheaves are appropriately sized to the
outside diameter and minimum bend radius of the cables/hoses.
21) Diverter Control Panel
The diverter control panel is a skid-mounted unit that actuates
solenoids for the pilot-operated control of diverter valves. The unit
contains a processor with network connection to the CCU for
remote control, as well as full local control via valves and gauges.
22) Electro-Hydraulic (E/H) Backup Panel
The E/H backup panel enables emergency disconnection should the
surface BOP control system become non-functional. The system
employs hardwired circuits to the MUX control pods for initiating
disconnecting functions.
High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) Probe
(not pictured)
The system uses an HPHT Probe to monitor well bore pressure and
temperature. It will be mounted on an unused outlet of the lower
Pipe Ram of the BOP stack. All components that come in contact
with the well bore fluid meet NACE MR01-75 requirements.
High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT)
Probe Assembly (not pictured)
The pressure/temperature probe is a 4-20mA device that interfaces
to the blue and yellow pod electronics through the Remote Terminal
Unit (RTU) (see below). Design specifications follow:
• Environmental media: Seawater and well bore fluid.
• Hyperbaric (external) pressure rating: 5,700 psi.
• Operating temperature: 0-150 degrees C (process media).
• Pressure sensor range: 0-25,000 psia operating.
• Pressure reference: Absolute.
23) Remote Service Network (RSN)
The remote service network (RSN) and hardware allow Hydril
technicians anywhere in the world to login to a customer’s system
through the Internet for diagnostic purposes. The network is a link
between the Hydril control system network and the rig’s satellite
communications network system.
How does it work? A Hydril technician can log onto the Hydril
control system network on a rig anywhere in the world by
connecting through the ISPs to the land-based satellite uplink
location nearest the rig. The satellite link then completes the path
from shore to the rig satellite communications network and to the
control system network. RSN features and benefits include:
• Remote diagnostics of the control system.
• Reduces or eliminates automatic need for service trip.
• Download of software upgrades via link.
• Faster service response to system problems.
• End of well file maintenance and system check up.
• Save or eliminate downtime days.
Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) (not pictured)
The RTU is the serial communications module for reading the
4-20mA signals from the HPHT probe and converting them to
signals that are communicated to the MUX pod. The housing is
constructed of stainless steel and can withstand 15,000 psi external
pressures while maintaining a one-atmosphere internal environment.
The electrical connectors are two (2) 4-pin and one (1) 8-pin FCR
type with face and radial o-ring seals.
Subsea Accumulator Pressure Transducer (not pictured)
The pressure transducers are absolute pressure strain gauge type,
temperature compensated, and packaged in a three (3)-section
stainless steel housing with redundant seals at each housing
section. Each pressure transducer is calibrated to determine the
necessary offset for both the lower and upper roll off.
Specifications follow:
• Range: 0 - 10,000 psi.
• Temperature Limits Operating: - 30 to + 180 deg F.
• Compensated Range: 0 to + 160 deg F.
• Overpressure Limits
Proof: 150% or 20,000 psi.
Burst: 200% or 25,000 psi.
24) Surface/Subsea Electronic Riser Angle
System (ERA)
The Surface and Subsea ERA provides real time monitoring of
the riser angle using angular deviation sensors. The control pods
contain gyroscopes for measuring stack rotation, and information
from the two systems is displayed in graphical plots on
surface workstations.
Deepwater Drilling System Components
The Hydril subsea MUX control system supplies and controls the flow of hydraulic fluid for actuation of the subsea BOP
stack functions. The system includes surface components, the connecting control MUX cable/hose components and
subsea components.
Annular Blowout Preventers:
25) GX®
Annular BOP
Expect more closures, stripping and uptime. Drilling contractors have called the Hydril
GX®
“the best annular in the business” for one reason: exceptional uptime. Its single
packing unit has provided continuous service for as long as a year, and it has continued
to hold pressure after exposure to extreme temperatures and extensive stripping. In the
field and in laboratory tests, GX units have:
• Passed an ABS-witnessed, 10,000-psi API pressure test at 270° F.
• Stripped more than 30,000 ft of 6-5/8” drill pipe with 8-1/4” tool joints.
• Stripped 300,000 ft of 5” drill pipe with 6-3/8” tool joints.
• Held pressure in the field after 328 closing cycles plus stripping.
Annu-Flex™ (not pictured)
A variation of our GX annular BOP, Hydril’s Annu-Flex combines either a single or dual
subsea annular blowout preventer with a maintenance-free, flexible underwater riser
joint. Together, the BOP head/flex joint combination reduces overall stack height and
requires fewer stack connections. Additionally, the Annu-Flex offers rapid and
economical maintenance, simple and reliable operations, and long service life.
Ram Blowout Preventers:
Quik-Loq™ BOP (not pictured)
Change rams and resume drilling fast. Well suited for surface and subsea operations,
the Boltless™ Hydril blowout preventer, the Quik-Loq, radically reduces downtime while
enhancing safety and environmental protection. It accomplishes these goals in part by:
• Minimizing personnel exposure to safety hazards that are inherent to BOP
maintenance on the rig by eliminating the need for tools and rigging.
• Allowing changeout of rams and/or operator assemblies in a matter of
minutes rather than hours.
• Using Boltless bonnets, redundant operator seals, and redundant rod seals.
26) Compact™ Ram BOP
Hold pressure at 15,000 psi from 30° F to 500° F. The 18-3/4”, 15,000-psi Hydril
Compact Ram BOP delivers proven reliability for safe operation in the harshest
environments. Rated for water depths to 12,500 ft, the Compact Ram has worked on
the seabed continuously for one year during drilling of a 34,000-ft well. It also can add
hundreds of hours of drilling time annually when configured to seal upside-down as a
Subsea Stack Test Valve (SSTV) so that required pressure tests can be completed with
the drill pipe in place. In the lab, this BOP has:
• Held full rated working pressure at 300° F for 8 hours using blind/shear rams. The
tested unit then completed 3 additional closing cycles at low and high pressure.
• Passed API temperature testing to 350° F using blind/shear rams.
• Passed API temperature tests to 500° F using 5” fixed-bore rams. All
fixed-bore ram sizes on the 18-15 Compact Ram are rated for this temperature.
• Passed API pressure tests at temperatures as low as 30° F for 5-1/2”-7-5/8”
and 4-1/2”-7” variable rams.
• Sheared large-diameter pipe (16”, 109 lb-per-ft, P-110) using optional, high
pressure, 4,000 psi, 22” operators.
Conventional Ram BOP (not pictured)
The 18-3/4”, 15,000-psi Hydril Conventional Ram BOP delivers the same proven
reliability as the Compact Ram for safe operation in the harshest environments.
It is also rated for water depths to 12,500 ft.
