An autonomous BOP system is provided for stopping an uncontrolled flow of formation hydrocarbons comprising two or more sensors distributed along a length of a subsea blowout preventer to monitor a drill pipe inside a blowout preventer and measure critical parameters. A computer using predictive-software monitors a blowout preventer along with material critical parameters and calculates a blowout preventer configuration and sequence to arrest a well blowout. Blowout preventer components are fine-tuned and operational modes are added to aid an arrest of a well blowout under realistic conditions.
A system for a subsea BOP, the subsea BOP defining a bore through the subsea BOP, the subsea BOP comprising two BOP rams, the two BOP rams comprising a shear ram, the shear ram comprising two shear ram pistons, an accumulator to stroke the two shear ram pistons associated with the shear ram, the subsea BOP being operable to receive a string of pipe moveable within the bore, the system comprising:
