Safety Precautions
Exposure to the daily hazards of drilling can lead rig crews and service personnel to
disregard or overlook hidden hazards. The safety precautions listed below should beobserved at all times.
Equipment Repairs or AdjustmentsTurn off the system power and bleed all pressure prior to making any repairs or
adjustments that do not require system power.
Hydraulic Lines
Hydraulic lines carrying fluids at high pressures can inflict potentially fatal injuries if thepressure escapes. Protect hydraulic lines from cutting, scraping, pinching, or other
physical damage. Always wear hard hats and safety glasses when working aroundhydraulic lines. Bleed the pressure from any hydraulic line prior to disconnecting any
fittings. Respect the prescribed ASME code minimum bend radius for hydraulic lines.
Bending around too short a radius can rupture the line.
Welding and Cutting
Do not weld or operate acetylene-cutting torches near unprotected electrical cable, flexiblehose, or hose bundles. Weld spatter can seriously damage the hose or cable. Ensure no
slag or spatter enters the hydraulic system.
Replacement Parts
Many of the BOP components, though apparently similar to commercial hardware, aremanufactured to system design specifications. To avoid possible hazardous failures, use
only exact NOV replacement parts or assemblies (see Chapter 5, titled "Specifications andParts Lists”).

Introduction 2
The LXT preventer is designed for drilling and workover service. The LXT preventers arehydraulically operated and can be manually locked by turning a handle or (optional)
handwheel (see Figure 3-5 on page 3-8) . The standard trim unit is suitable for internalH2S environments. Units can be manufactured for Arctic to -75 ºF (-59 ºC) and full H2S
environmental services. Standard units can be retrofitted for full environmental H2S
service. NOV preventers are manufactured in accordance with the American PetroleumInstitute (API) specification 16A and the National Association of Corrosion Engineers
(NACE) document NACE Standard MR 0175 (current revision).
This manual provides the installation, operation, and maintenance procedures forstandard manual lock LXT BOP models with manual lock operators. The manual lock
operators are used to close the ram assemblies on the drill pipe and close off the wellbore. The manual lock operators require a hydraulic closing pressure of 1,500 psi (103
bar) to accomplish sealing the well bore pressure to the rated working pressure of thepreventer. Maximum working pressure for the hydraulic operators is 3,000 psi (207 bar).
When the rams are hydraulically closed, the manual lock acme thread locking bolts arerotated clockwise to manually lock the rams in the closed position (see Figure 2-3).

BOP Functional Overview
A ram BOP is a safety tool used during the drilling or workover operation to control well
bore pressure. The BOP achieves this pressure control by closing its rams to seal arounddrilling tubulars, an open hole or to shear drilling tubulars under various drilling conditions.
Under normal drilling the BOP has little or no internal pressure. However, if the drill bitpenetrates a high-pressure oil or gas pocket in the well, the BOP rams can be closed so
that the high-pressure returning well fluid (whose pressure has overcome the weight of thedrilling mud) will not blow out of the well. The BOP is normally composed of a pressurecontaining body with a vertical through bore with doors (including door operators) on either
side, which hold the BOP rams and their hydraulic operating mechanisms. Flanged orstudded API connections are configured on either end of the body at the vertical bore to
facilitate connecting the LXT preventer to a BOP Stack or other well control components.The body is generally configured with two outlets (one on each side) under each ramcavity located 90º to the doors, which are routed laterally through the body to the vertical
bore forming a well bore fluid outlet path. The side outlets are used in conjunction with thechoke and kill valves, choke manifold and other well control equipment to bring the high
well bore pressure under control using a variety of well control techniques available to thewell operator. (See Figure 2-3 on page 2-3 for BOP general features.)
The LXT Ram BOPs are functioned hydraulically by the rig operator using the BOPControl System. BOP controls are generally located on the Drillers and/or Toolpushers
Control Panels and at the Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU).
Door Locking System
The LXT BOP door locking system provides simple and fast opening and closing of BOP
doors, representing a major step toward easy servicing. Several operational benefits areavailable from this system.
The LXT BOP door locking system departs from the conventional bolting method. The
entire door attachment method can be accomplished by a single individual opening andclosing the doors.
The LXT BOP door locking system replaces axially-loaded threaded members (bolts) withtransaxially-loaded bearing members. The bearing members act as locking pins, taking
the separation load (generated by well bore pressure) in bearing and shear only, not in
tension. The bearing members (locking bars) are contained between the body and door onthe BOP, providing a pressure containing lock. The number of locking members (lockingbars) is reduced to two, running across the top and bottom of the door (see Figure 2-3 on
page 2-3). This replaces the threaded member system of four to ten bolts per door.Actuation or engagement of the two locking members is fast and easy, dramatically
reducing the opening and closing time compared to the threaded member system whichrequires that each bolt be made up separately.
The LXT BOP door locking system utilizes a set of lateral grooves located in both the door
and BOP body running perpendicular to the ram cavity. These grooves, when aligned,allow load bearing (locking) bars to lock the door and body together. The round lock barsare inserted into or pulled from the grooves to accomplish the manual lock and unlock
process. Groove pairs and locking bars are located both above and below the ram cavityspanning the interface between the door and body. (See Figure 2-4 on page 2-5.)

Introduction 2
Figure 2-4. Lockbar Grooves
Once the lock bars are removed, the door assembly is pulled away from the BOP bodysliding along two support rods allowing access to the ram assembly. The LXT door
assembly does not hinge on a bracket, thus providing a manual process that is simple, fastand reliable. For more detail about the door locking system, see the section titled "OpeningDoors" on page 3-12 and the section titled "Closing Doors" on page 3-14).
Hydraulic Operators
The LXT BOP is equipped with manual lock hydraulic operators. The manual lockhydraulic operators are located either side of the LXT body (see Figure 2-4).
The LXT BOP manual lock hydraulic operators are closed with 1,500 psi (103 bar). This
pressure squeezes the ram assembly rubber around the pipe and between the ramassemblies and the upper seat of the ram cavity to seal-off the well bore pressure. Eachoperator is manually locked in the close position by the clockwise rotation of the acme
thread locking bolt (see Figure 2-4). The locking bolts prevent the rams from being openedby the well bore pressure, even when closing hydraulic pressure is removed. The hydraulic
operators do not require adjustment for changes in ram types or to compensate for ram
wear over time.

Condition of BOP is Unknown
If the condition of the BOP is unknown (e.g., stored for some length of time, has not beenmaintained on a scheduled maintenance program, etc.), perform a three-month
maintenance check, as described in the section titled "Three-Month PreventiveMaintenance" on page 4-4. The three-month maintenance check includes:
Visual inspection and thorough greasing the inside of the BOP; Performing a field wellbore pressure test (see the section titled "Field Wellbore
Pressure Test" on page 4-9);
Performing an hydraulic pressure test (see the section titled "Hydraulic PressureTest" on page 4-11);
Operate the manual locks (see the section titled "Manual Locking the Rams" onpage 3-12).
BOP Maintained on Scheduled Maintenance
Program
If the BOP has been properly maintained (scheduled maintenance program), a monthlymaintenance check is all that is required. (See the section titled "Monthly Preventive
Maintenance" on page 4-3.)
The monthly maintenance check includes:
Performing a field wellbore pressure test (see the section titled "Field Wellbore
Pressure Test" on page 4-9);
o Checking for external hydraulic leaks while pressure testing.
Verify that door lock bars are propperly lubricated. Failureto heed this caution may cause difficulty manually rotatingthe lock bar.
ii
Cleaning, inspection and testing of the LXT BOP
immediately after completion of drilling operations reducesinstallation time on the next well (see the section titled "Cleaning and Storage of the LXT BOP" on page 4-25).

Operation
Hydraulic Operation
The rams can be hydraulically closed and manually locked. Under normal operatingconditions, 1,500 psi (103 bar) hydraulic pressure is recommended. This operatingpressure will close any model LXT BOP and contain its rated wellbore pressure. Hydraulic
operating pressure may be increased to 3,000 psi (207 bar) on any LXT BOP, if desired.
Hydraulic Fluid
Hydraulic fluid under pressure drives the pistons, which then close and opens the rams.
The hydraulic fluid used should have the following characteristics:
Non-freezing in cold climates
Lubricity to reduce wear
Chemical compatibility with the elastomer seals
Corrosion inhibitors for metal surface protection.
Recommended Hydraulic Fluid
Hydraulic oil with viscosity between 200 and 300 SSU at 100 ºF (38 ºC). In the LXT
closed hydraulic system, there is no waste of oil and fluid costs are negligible.
Where pollution due to accidental spillage of hydraulic fluid is a problem, use a
water soluble oil or premix control fluid. To prevent freezing at lower temperatures,adding ethylene glycol without any additives is recommended. Do not usecommercial antifreeze mixes.
Emergency Fluid Recommendations
In an emergency, where hydraulic fluid is lost and the BOP must be operated, the fluidslisted below can be substituted:
1. When using hydraulic oil:
Add motor oil (SAE 10W is recommended but heavier oils can be used)
Add water if motor oil is not available, but after the emergency, the hydraulicsystem must be flushed and refilled with hydraulic oil
2. When using a water soluble mixture or premix fluid, add more water.

Preventive Maintenance
Maintenance Schedule
The purpose of the maintenance schedule is to detect wear in a NOV Shaffer ® manuallock model LXT BOP so that it can be repaired before a failure occurs in a drilling
emergency. The inspection sequence avoids repetition of work so that minimum time isrequired for a thorough maintenance program. (See the table titled "MaintenanceSchedule, Manual Lock Ram BOP1" on page 4-2.)
Additional information is available in the following publications:
API Spec. 6A, 16A
API RP53
NOV Brochures
When to Call a Service Representative
Repairs are performed by either the rig personnel or a NOV service representative. Thefollowing identifies the repairs normally performed by the rig personnel and provides
guidelines to determine when a service representative should be called.
Rig personnel normally perform the following:
Changing rams to different pipe sizes
Running wellbore pressure tests and hydraulic pressure tests
Replacing worn ram rubbers and door seals
Buffing out minor scratches on the ram sealing area and door sealing area of the
body.
iiThere are two lower and two upper door assemblies
installed on a double LXT Ram BOP. Due to the slider barconfiguration and the QD male hydraulic coupler (item 8)
on the door, to the QD female hydraulic coupler (item 25)on the body (see the table titled "BOP and Door Components" on page 5-4 and Figure 5-2 on page 5-5 for
illustration). To avoid confusion while installing the doorsonto the body, it is recommended to remove only one door
assembly at a time from the BOP body. In this manner, thedoor to body QD hydraulic connections and slider bars will
properly align with each other.

Troubleshooting
For a list of common problems likely to be encountered during operation, including
possible causes and corrective action, see "Troubleshooting-LXT Manual Lock BOP" tablebelow:
Troubleshooting-LXT Manual Lock BOP
Problem Possible Cause Correction
Will not hold well
pressure
BOP is upside-down. When BOP is right side up, the side outlets are below the skids.
Inside the BOP, the side outlets are below the rams (see the
section titled "Installation Instructions" on page 3-3).
Bad ram rubbers Check ram rubbers and replace if necessary (see the section
titled "Ram Assembly Removal and Inspection" on page 4-19.
Damaged seat Check seat sealing area for cuts and sealing surface scratches.
Smooth minor damage with emery cloth (see the section titled
"Three-Month Preventive Maintenance" on page 4-4).
Leaking ram shaft seal Check the weep holes in the doors for leakage. Replace the ram
shaft seal if necessary. A temporary repair can be made byenergizing the plastic packing, but the seal should be replaced
as soon as possible (see the section titled "Emergency Ram
Shaft Packing Repair" on page 4-17, Figure 4-1 on page 4-4).
Leaking door seal Check for leaks between the doors and the body. Replace the
door seals as required (see the section titled "Monthly
Preventive Maintenance" on page 4-3 and the section titled
"Door Seal Replacement" on page 4-16).
Pump leaking in the test
unit
Install isolation valve in the pump line close to the BOP. Install a
pressure gauge between the isolation valve and the BOP. No
indication of pressure drop indicates a leak in the test unit.
Rams will not
close
Hydraulic fluid not reaching
the BOP
Remove the closing line from BOP and pump a small amount of
hydraulic fluid through it. If no fluid appears, the line is plugged.Clear the closing line.
Opening hydraulic line
plugged or piston seal
damaged
Remove opening line from the BOP and apply closing hydraulic
pressure.
1. If hydraulic fluid spurts out of BOP briefly and stops and rams
close, the opening hydraulic line is plugged. Call a NOV
service representative.
2. If hydraulic fluid spurts out of BOP continuously, the piston
seal is damaged. The rams would also move, but there would
be no pressure buildup. Call a NOV service representative.
Foreign substance in the
wellbore area
Open the door(s) and inspect for cement, metal fragments, etc.
Clean the ram cavity.
Lock bars are hardto remove
Corrosion or material buildup
Thoroughly clean bars and grooves then re-lubricate. A newapplication of Perma-Silk G (solid film lubricant) maybe needed.
One (or both)
rams will open
partly, but will not
move out of the
wellbore
Manual lock(s) rams partly
locked
Unlock rams. Check for damage to the locking shafts, threads, or
bent shaft (see the section titled "Three-Month Preventive
Maintenance" on page 4-4).

Emergency Ram Shaft Packing Repair
An emergency repair can be made by reducing the hydraulic pressure to 0 psi (0 bar) and
activating the secondary ram shaft seal on the BOP (see Figure 4-12 on page 4-18). Assoon as possible after the emergency, call a NOV service representative to repack the ram
shaft.1. Remove the pipe plug from the port on the door.
2. With the pipe plug removed, a second socket head screw plug is exposed. Tighten
this clockwise to inject the secondary ram shaft seal.
3. Replace the socket head pipe plug removed in step 1.
4. Call a NOV service representative to repack the ram shaft.
Do not substitute an O-ring for the door seal. Use correctNOV replacement parts only. Failure to heed this caution
may result in malfunction of the BOP.
ii
On the LXT, the secondary seal port is located betweenthe lock bar gooves on the side of the door.
ii
Additional packing may be injected until the leak stops.Remove the packing plug, add packing and re-tighten the

Storing the LXT BOP
LXT BOP Data Location
For the location of BOP data, see Figure 4-21 on page 4-26.
Operation information is contained on plates mounted on the cylinder heads.
The body part number is located on the body.
Most components of the LXT BOP are stamped with their part numbers and othermanufacturing data.
Cleaning and Storage of the LXT BOP
A BOP should be cleaned immediately after it is taken out of service. Proper cleaning of aBOP before it is stored will increase its life significantly. If a BOP is in an active drilling
program, this cleaning should be done approximately every three months or when the rigis between wells see the table titled "LXT Ram BOP Cleaning and LubricatingInstructions" on page 4-27.
1. Open the doors and remove the rams (see the section titled "Removal of Rams" on
page 4-19).
Store rubber parts in their natural shape. Do not hang o-rings on nails or hooks.
Storage areas should be kept as dry as possible. Oil, grease or other fluidsshould be stored elsewhere to avoid spillage.
If storage is for a long duration, it is recommended that rubber parts be placed insealed containers or be given a protective surface covering impervious totemperature or light, This will extend the shelf life.
ii
Always give the serial number or assembly part numbersand size of the LXT BOP when ordering parts.
If the BOP is not flanged to a wellhead or securely
fastened, open only one door at a time. The weight of twoopen doors may tip the BOP over.
