Abstract
A closing unit system for a blowout preventer (BOP) stack includes a first fluid reservoir, a first power source, a first pump system fluidly coupled to the first fluid reservoir and electrically coupled to the first power source, and a valve manifold fluidly coupled to the first pump system via a closing unit hose assembly and configured to couple to the BOP stack. The closing unit system also includes one or more processors that are configured to receive an input indicative of an instruction to adjust an actuator associated with the BOP stack, and instruct the first power source to provide power to the first pump system to cause the first pump system to pump a fluid from the first fluid reservoir to the valve manifold in response to the input.
