Blow Out Preventer
Description

A Blow Out Preventer from the Ocean Star Offshore Drilling Rig and Museum in Galveston, Texas.

"A blow out preventer, or BOP, is a vital part of drilling operations. Several of these valves are installed at the wellhead, and can be closed against an increase in pressure, which is called a "kick." On a shallow water jackup rig like the Ocean Star, the BOP would be installed over a large diameter casing at the surface, while on deep water floating rigs, the BOP sits on the ocean floor."
