Variable bore blowout preventer (BOP) rams are a relatively new development. Since these rams increase the flexibility of the ram-type BOP substantially, they have become the subject of considerable current interest. This paper contains general background information on the variable bore ram (VBR), as well as discussions of the advantages and limitations which are to be considered when specifying BOP equipment and when designing and implementing well control procedures using VBRs.
