- A blowout preventer (BOP) is a high pressure safety valve system
at the top of the well head which stops uncontrolled fluid/gas flow in the wellbore.

- There are two types of BOP valves -- annular and ram.
- One advantage the annular blowout preventer has over ram-type
blowout preventers is the ability to seal on a variety of pipe sizes.
