    This document demonstrates how to calculate the number of accumulator bottles required for a Koomey Unit to close a BOP stack. It lists the gallon volumes needed to open and close various BOP equipment. The steps are to: 1) add the closing gallon volumes for all equipment, 2) apply a safety factor of 61% to the total, 3) determine how many bottles holding 6 usable gallons each are needed to meet the volume total. Following this, 6 bottles are required to close the BOP stack without assistance from electric or pneumatic pumps. It is important to use the correct closing gallon volumes in calculations and safety factors may vary by location or company policies.

    Calculate Bottles Required for Koomey Unit

    (Accumulator Unit)
    by DrillingFormulas.Com on October 35, 3122

    This topic will demonstrate you how to determine accumulator bottles required for Koomey Unit
    (Accumulator Unit) in order to close the BOP stack.
    This is a specification of Accumulator (Koomey) Unit.
    Accumulator 40111 psi system
    Volume each bottle is 21 gallon.
    Pre charge pressure is 20111 psi.
    Minimum operating pressure is 20311 psi (311 psi over pre charge pressure)
    Usable fluid per gallon is 6 gallon.
    Safety factor require is 61 %.

    BOP Stack and HCRs as listed below:

    Equipment
    Annular Preventor
    Upper Pipe Rams
    Blind Shear Rams
    Lower Pipe Rams
    Choke HCR
    Kill HCR

    Gallon to open
    5.1
    4.1
    4.6
    4.1
    1.6
    1.6

    Gallon to close
    5.6
    4.6
    5.1
    4.6
    1.6
    1.6

    Please follow the steps below for calculation


    2. Determine total volume require to close all of equipment
    Volume = 5.6+4.6+5+4.6+1.6+1.6 = 27.6 gallon
    3. Volume accounted for safety factor
    Volume = 27.6 x 2.6 = 35.46 gallon
    4. Determine numbers of accumulator bottles required to meet volume determined in step23
    Number of bottles = volume usable fluid per bottle
    Number of bottles =35.46 6 = 5..6 so you round it up to 6 bottles
    In order to close all BOP as per requirement without any assistance of electric and pneumatic
    pumps, you need to have a total of 6 accumulator bottles.

    You will see that based on the calculation above, determining required Koomey bottles is quite
    straight forward. Thing to remember is that you must use closing volume not opening volume. I
    see many people using the wrong figures. Even though it may not have big impact on the final
    result, you need to select the right figures for calculation. Moreover, the safety factor may be
    different based on the regulations of your working area or your company policy.
