IBOP VALVES
Inside Blow Out Preventer Valves
M&M Oil Tools offers our “poppet-style” IBOP valves that
automatically stop uncontrolled flow back and protect the swivel,
kelly hose and surface pumping equipment from high pressure kicks
and potential blow-outs. These valves can be installed anywhere in
the drill string and will automatically open to allow normal
circulation. Our optional release assembly allows the M&M Oil Tools
IBOP to be used as a stand-by surface safety valve that can be
quickly stabbed into the drill pipe, tubing, or casing at the rig
floor if a kick is detected.
The M&M Oil Tools IBOP valves are available in one or two-piece
construction. The compact one-piece design eliminates the internal
connection and is ideally suited where space is at a premium or
where handling weight is critical. Its smooth OD allows this valve
to be run anywhere in the drill string. The two-piece design is
available when larger internal flow areas are desired. All valves
are offered with a variety of threads and are matched to maintain
drill string tensile strength capacity.
Mill certificates, test reports and Certificate of Conformance are
provided with each valve.
Our poppet-style check valve features a conical nose and
metal-to-metal seat made from high strength materials. The design of
the poppet, seat and bypass area minimizes the potential for erosion
caused by long term, high-rate circulation.
Additional Information
M&M Oil Tools patented takes the quality of our standard service
valves to a new level. The valve’s unique floating ball and
spring-loaded seat design forces pressure and flow through the seat,
not around its exterior. This eliminates unreliable single direction
seat seals, erosion and fouling/binding frequently seen in
competitive designs. The floating vented ball and double floating
seats guarantee differential pressure by acting only across the
downstream side of the ball & seat to minimize the load, prevent
distortion of the ball and protect seat support arms. Combining
these features with a proprietary stem bearing reduces the torque
required to operate the valve by 50% compared to other designs.
Safety valves are designed to quickly stab into drillpipe, tubing or
casing if a kick is encountered. Installed at each end of the kelly,
or below the top drive, the valves control flow from the wellbore
and protect surface equipment from high pressure kicks. The upper
well control valve can also function as a mud saver valve by
preventing mud loss and hazardous rig floor conditions when tripping
pipe.
Available in one- or two-piece design. A compact one-piece design is
ideally suited where space is at a premium or where handling weight
is critical. Its smooth OD allows this valve to be run anywhere in
the drill string. The two-piece design is available when larger
internal diameters are desired.
Offered with a variety of threads including left-hand connections
for upper well control applications that are matched to maintain
drill string tensile strength capacity.
M&M’s API Q-1 Quality Management System provides full traceability.
Drillpipe threads conform to API 7-1. Each valve is provided with
material certificates, test reports and Certificate of Conformance.
