The BOP is a device on the rig that prevents the well from flowing uncontrollably. Short for Blow Out Preventer. Government requires that drillers test it every two weeks to make sure it will work in an emergency. Tests involve pressuring it up to certain levels, which may be what was referenced. Not likely any pressures from the wellbore itself.
