Teddy, BOP = Blow Out Preventer. Also refered to as the BOP "stack" since it is a stack of usually 3 safety devices below the drill floor through which the drill pipe passes. Its purpose is to prevent a blow out when excessive formation pressure overcomes the weight of the column of drilling fluid and oil and/or gas tries to escape to the atmosphere.
