INTRODUCTION
As outlined in previous volumes of the Well Control Equipment manuals for annular and ram type
BOPs, valve maintenance can be optimized by regular lubrication. This should be addressed on a
weekly basis as well as regular flushing and cleaning with fresh (potable) water after each well
control or test cycle that occurs.
Clean grease will reduce wear and tear on moving parts, plus the grease coating will reduce
corrosion on gates and seats. Correct position of valve gates to achieve maximum grease cover-
age must be referenced from the Manufacturer’s Manual specific to the valve type. Some models
require the gates to be fully closed, while others require gates in the 1/2 or full open position
during grease insertion. Various models will also require larger quantities of grease due to the
design of valve sealing characteristics. Some models will wash the grease from the body cavities,
where other models the body cavity is isolated during flow. In all cases, regular lubrication will
increase valve life and reduce maintenance costs and downtime.
Following this section is SF Fig. A-1 ‘Lube List’. This is a list of the greases Santa Fe recommends
for use on all valves regardless of manufacturer. This lubrication section also details the Force Flow
Grease Gun™ that Santa Fe recommends to carry out the lubrication procedures in this manual.
Valve Greasing Schedule

A) After each pressure test, the valve should be greased (10 strokes) and gate cycled open &
closed.
B) After each well control situation, the valves should be greased (20-30 strokes) and the gate
cycled open & closed.
C) Once a week, each valve should be greased (3-5 strokes) and the gates cycled open & closed.
Note:
For full greasing instructions, refer to the Manufacturer’s Manual specific to type of valve model.

General Lubrication
For normal operation, use the recommended valve lubricant or greases not affected by water or
well bore fluids. Also utilize the recommended lubricant for the temperature range of the well bore
fluids in use. Ensure that the stem bearing is included in the grease application.

TS-70 Moly Paste, with 70% by weight molyb-

denum disulfide, provides uniform and durable
boundary lubrication under extreme pressure,
in wet or corrosive environments, and over a
wide temperature range.
TS-70 Moly Paste is a general purpose lubricant

with many uses. It has been proven to be out-
standing for the saltwater environment. Other
applications are as components for press fittings,
threads in tapping, boundary lubrication of parts
in assembly and make-up, bushings of heavily
loaded slow moving bearings and many more.
Apply by brushing or burnishing.

Before Make-up
Make-up Procedure
Assemble the clamp halves on the appropriate
clamp hubs using bolt torque and lubrication
information in ‘Hub-type Clamp Torque/Lube
Chart’. Spacing between the clamp halves
should be approximately equal when tightening
the bolting. (fig. 1-3) Assembly should be aided
by using lubrication on the hub-to-clamp con-
tact areas (fig. 1-2) and by jarring the clamps
during the bolt up operation.
