Abstract:
Diverter assemblies having a housing, first and second rams, first and second actuators for moving the rams, and first and second sealing members respectively coupled to the first and second rams. The housing defines openings surrounding a drilling axis and configured to receive a pipe in a drilling position, and the rams are moveable relative to a longitudinal axis of the housing that is substantially perpendicular to the drilling axis. The first and second sealing members engage the pipe, and projections within the housing cooperate with the sealing members to form a seal around the pipe and the openings of the housing. Systems and methods of using the diverter assemblies are also disclosed.
