Numerous major oil spillages such as the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill off the Gulf of Mexico had taken place owing to a faulty blowout preventer. As such, companies today take immense care in selecting blowout preventers for their rigs and often order more than one blowout preventer as a backup. Annular and ram are the two basic blowout preventers which are generally employed in drilling operations. These blowout preventers are usually used together in drilling rig blowout preventers stacks.
