What is function of bop on oil and gas well?
The BOP or blow out preventer is used to shut in a well when all other means have failed. It shuts in a well by either cutting through or crimping the production tubing or drill pipe in the well. As was clearly shown in the 2010 Macondo well blow out, the blow out preventer can not close in the well in all cases.
What does it mean when a well is shut in?
Clearly it means, "No more profits or monies to be gained by the Oil or Gas well", or B.P. would have shut the oil well down instead of letting it leak almost 2 Million Gallons of Oil to Leak into the Ocean.
Can you shut off an oil well by squeezing a pipe shut?
Yes, an oil well can be "shut off" by the use of a device that has a hydraulic ram that can crush and seal a pipe (or simply shut a valve) to secure a wellhead. The so-called "blowout preventer" is such a device, but in the case of the current disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, the device failed (owing to a failure to replace a battery, as one report had it).
What was the first oil well drilled in Texas called?
it was called oil well in Texas
Why are we not producing oil from oil shale?
The reason that oil shale is not used to produce oil is because this is what keeps the oil well from collapsing after the oil is removed. If the oil shale were mined, the oil well would collapse into a large trench in the ground.

How deep is BP's oil spill underwater?
The ocean floor is about 5,000 feet below the surface. The oil reservoir was drilled another 13,000 feet from that point. An extensive subsea cloud of oil from the well has been confirmed by NOAA. The formation of clouds is a new phenomena requiring research. The use of dispersants subsea may be factor as well as the near freezing temperatures at the sea floor. The cloud is extensive but the concentration of oil droplets in these clouds is low. "Dispersed oil tends not to float but instead falls below the surface and drifts at mid-depths" - quote from Yahoo! news.
What is subsea control system as related to offshore oil and gas industry?
Subsea Control System is the system used to control the flow of hydrocarbons and waste materials from the rock formations under the sea bed up to the production platform or vessel where they are initially processed and stored and includes sea bed valve packages, electronics and power distribution as well as platform mounted controls.

What FMC technology available in the market?
FMC technology is a United States based oil and gas equipment and services technology company. They have subsea oil rigs which explore, drill and develop offshore oil and gas fields.
Why don't they use a low yield tactical nuke to seal off the BP oil rig leak?
Before you fix something you've got to understand the well. The oil is leaking from a wellbore, which is really a pipe that allows oil to flow from an underground deposit at about 13,000 ft to the ocean floor. The oil at present is coming up through the pipe, then passing through the blow out preventer (BOP) stack and escaping through the riser. A cement seal is in place between the casing pipe and formation at least from the ocean floor to part way down the last string of pipe. You don't want to destroy this seal. I guess the bomb idea is to destroy the BOP and wellhead. Oil would continue to flow without the stack, but the bomb would shake the earth so much that you will break down the cement seal between the pipe and formation, fractured some of rock, and oil will come out from both the pipe and the behind the pipe. I imagine there would be a pile of rubble subsea, from which the gas would make a worm hole followed by easy passage of oil.
Does a Plymouth breeze shut off when to low on oil?
Not that I know of. The oil pressure light comes on at a very low pressure, but it will not shut the car off.
When is the BP Oil Spill supposed to stop?
The oil spill will stop when the cap is permanently shut. The oil spill was caused by BP and has injured and killed thousands and thousands of sea animals. They are trying to find a way to close the cap and keep it shut, so far, efforts have not worked. The BP Oil Spill also killed 11 people, as well injured many others.
Where is oil shut off sensor switch located on a 1992 ford ranger?
There isn't a sensor that will shut off the engine if the oil pressure is too low
Will oil level sensor shut down ford expedition?
An oil level sensor will shut down the Ford Expedition. If the oil level sensor senses that the vehicle is low on oil, a light will alert you to the fact before the vehicle shuts down.
