A ram BOP utilizes two horizontally opposed hydraulic rams that either close around the drill string, shear through the drill string and then seal, or close off a wellbore when no drill pipe or tubing is in it. The ram BOP was invented by James Smither Abercrombie and Harry S. Cameron in 1922, and was brought to market in 1924

So you cut and paste? I know what a ram bop is. We manufacture them. The ram bop cannot shear casing. Which was running through the BOPs when it exploded. The casing is minimum 16” diameter and con not be shearedn the wall of the pipe is too thin to close off. Understand the cementing process before you cut and paste and lecture based on your “readings.”. I work in the oil patch and have a bit more undrrstanding of the process than just “reading” about it.
