Regulators are pushing for buyers of blowout preventers (BOPs) with systems that constantly monitor them and can highlight parts likely to fail. National Oilwell Varco (NOV) applied methods previously used to increase manufacturing productivity, allowing its 13 testing stations to do 40 tests a week, up from 3 to 10 tests a month on the three stations at its previous facility. The products of the rise in R&D throughout this segment of the business were seen at the 2013 Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston. BP executives offered updates on Project 20K, which BP started in 2012 to create the next generation of equipment able to manage pressures as high as 20,000 psi and temperatures up to 350°F. Also at OTC, Cameron was showing how big 20K equipment can be in the form of the Eva 20,000-psi BOP, a hulking machine showing the heft needed to meet those extreme specifications. At NOV, the push for more reliable products has led to redesigns making the devices simpler with fewer parts;
