Abstract: A pressure control apparatus for use with wireline pressure equipment. The pressure control apparatus has a first portion which may be located in close proximity to the wireline pressure equipment. The first portion has at least one fluid pressure outlet and at least one controlling mechanism to facilitate control of the fluid pressure outlet. The controlling mechanism is operable by a control system, at least a portion of which is located remote from the first portion in, for instance a control cabin. Also, a method of controlling pressure equipment used in the exploration, production and/or exploitation of hydrocarbons and a regulating device.
