Description

ANORDNING FOR UTSKILLING AV MATERIALE FRA EN KOPLINGSENHET I EN BORERIGG SOM ER ANBRAKT PÅ HAVBUNNEN DEVICE FOR SEPARATION OF MATERIAL FROM A COUPLING UNIT IN A DRILLING RIG PLACED ON THE SEA FLOOR

Denne oppfinnelse vedrører en anordning for utskilling av materiale fra en koplingsenhet i en borerigg som er anbrakt på havbunnen. Nærmere bestemt dreier det seg om en borerigg som er anbrakt på havbunnen hvor boreriggen er tettende kapslet i forhold til omgivelsene. Boreriggens koplingsenhet for rør er lukket, forsynt med tetninger mot røret og tilkoplet en oppsamler og utskiller for væske. This invention relates to a device for separating material from a coupling unit in a drilling rig which is placed on the seabed. More specifically, it concerns a drilling rig that is placed on the seabed where the drilling rig is hermetically sealed in relation to the surroundings. The drilling rig's pipe connection unit is closed, fitted with seals against the pipe and connected to a liquid collector and separator.

Olje og gassforekomster nede i jordskorpen utvinnes som kjent ved at det bores hull ned til forekomstene, slik at olje og gassforekomster kan dreneres opp til overflaten. As is known, oil and gas deposits deep in the earth's crust are extracted by drilling holes down to the deposits, so that the oil and gas deposits can be drained to the surface.

Utstyret som anvendes til boring av hull i jordskorpen omfatter i hovedsak et boretårn utført som en fagverkskonstruksjon i stål. I boretårnet er det plassert wirebasert hei-semaskineri for å heise opp og sette ned borerør. I tillegg anvendes det en del hjelpe-utstyr for å kunne håndtere borerør og for å kunne sette foringsrør i det borede hull. The equipment used for drilling holes in the earth's crust mainly comprises a derrick designed as a steel truss structure. Wire-based hoisting machinery is placed in the derrick to raise and lower drill pipe. In addition, some auxiliary equipment is used to be able to handle drill pipe and to be able to insert casing into the drilled hole.

Når olje og gassforekomstene må tas opp fra store havdyp, anvendes flytende eller faste plattformer som er forsynt med nødvendig boreutstyr. Plattformer av denne art er relativt store og kostbare konstruksjoner, idet boreutstyret er stort og tungt. I tillegg til selve boreutstyret er det nødvendig med stigerør (marine riser) mellom plattformen og havbunnen for å sirkulere boreslam under boreoperasjonen. Pa flytende plattformer er det også nødvendig med hivkompensering for å ivareta bølgebevegelser på plattformen i relasjon til havbunnen. When the oil and gas deposits have to be taken up from great ocean depths, floating or fixed platforms are used which are equipped with the necessary drilling equipment. Platforms of this kind are relatively large and expensive structures, as the drilling equipment is large and heavy. In addition to the drilling equipment itself, risers (marine risers) are needed between the platform and the seabed to circulate drilling mud during the drilling operation. On floating platforms, heave compensation is also necessary to safeguard wave movements on the platform in relation to the seabed.

Et alternativ til boring fra flytende boreplattformer er å plassere boreriggen direkte på havbunnen, slik at det ikke er nødvendig med store, kostbare plattformer. An alternative to drilling from floating drilling platforms is to place the drilling rig directly on the seabed, so that there is no need for large, expensive platforms.

WO 2004/018826 beskriver en havbunnsbasert borerigg hvor rør som senkes fra overflaten i kassetter skrus sammen til en borestreng. WO 2004/018826 describes a seabed-based drilling rig where pipes lowered from the surface in cassettes are screwed together to form a drill string.

WO 99/15758 omhandler en fremgangsmåte for anvendelse ved havbasert boring hvor borevesken trekkes ut av stigerøret nær havbunnen. WO 99/15758 deals with a method for use in offshore drilling where the drilling fluid is extracted from the riser near the seabed.

Oljeindustrien har i dag utviklet mye avansert utstyr for fjernstyrte undervannsopera-sjoner. Dette er teknologier som er tilgjengelige og kan benyttes i fjernstyrte boreope-rasjoner der boreutstyret plasseres direkte på havbunnen. The oil industry has today developed a lot of advanced equipment for remotely controlled underwater operations. These are technologies that are available and can be used in remotely controlled drilling operations where the drilling equipment is placed directly on the seabed.

Det er videre nødvendig å etterkomme myndighetenes relativt strenge krav til miljø-forurensing og målsetning om null-utslipp til omgivelsene. It is also necessary to comply with the authorities' relatively strict requirements for environmental pollution and the goal of zero emissions to the environment.

Kjent teknikk angir ingen løsning på disse forhold i relasjon til borerigger som er anbrakt på havbunnen. Known technology does not provide a solution to these conditions in relation to drilling rigs that are placed on the seabed.

Oppfinnelsen har til formål å avhjelpe eller redusere i det minste én av ulempene ved kjent teknikk. The purpose of the invention is to remedy or reduce at least one of the disadvantages of known technology.

Formålet oppnås i henhold til oppfinnelsen ved de trekk som er angitt i nedenstående beskrivelse og i de etterfølgende patentkrav. The purpose is achieved according to the invention by the features indicated in the description below and in the subsequent patent claims.

En borerigg i overensstemmelse med oppfinnelsen er anbrakt på havbunnen hvor boreriggen er tettende kapslet i forhold til omgivelsene og kjennetegnet ved at boreriggens koplingsenhet, som omfatter skrueanordninger for sammen- og fraskruing rør, for rør er lukket, forsynt med tetninger mot røret og tilkoplet en oppsamler og utskiller for væske. A drilling rig in accordance with the invention is placed on the seabed where the drilling rig is hermetically encapsulated in relation to the surroundings and characterized by the fact that the drilling rig's coupling unit, which includes screw devices for connecting and unscrewing the pipe, for the pipe is closed, provided with seals against the pipe and connected to a collector and secretes for liquid.

Utskilleren er koplet til et sirkulasjonsanlegg som er innrettet til å kunne sirkulere væske gjennom koplingsenheten, idet sirkulasjonsanlegget foruten utskilleren omfatter en pumpe samt rørledninger. The separator is connected to a circulation system which is designed to be able to circulate liquid through the coupling unit, as the circulation system includes a pump and pipelines in addition to the separator.

Sirkulasjonsanleggets innløp kommuniserer med ett av koplingsenhetens øvre eller nedre parti, mens sirkulasjonsanleggets utløp kommuniserer med det andre av koplingsenhetens øvre eller nedre parti. The circulation system's inlet communicates with one of the coupling unit's upper or lower part, while the circulation system's outlet communicates with the other of the coupling unit's upper or lower part.

Væsketrykket er fortrinnsvis mindre på boreriggens innside enn på boreriggens utside, hvorved væske i boreriggen er forhindret fra å strømme ut til boreriggens omgivelser. The fluid pressure is preferably less on the inside of the drilling rig than on the outside of the drilling rig, whereby liquid in the drilling rig is prevented from flowing out to the surroundings of the drilling rig.

Utskilleren er koplet til for eksempel en beholder for utskilt materiale, idet beholderen, når den er fylt opp, kan skiftes ut med en ny beholder og bringes opp til overflaten for videre behandling av det utskilte materialet. Boreriggen kan omfatte flere beholdere for utskilt materiale. The separator is connected to, for example, a container for excreted material, as the container, when filled, can be replaced with a new container and brought to the surface for further treatment of the excreted material. The drilling rig may include several containers for separated material.

Beholderne som skal inn i og ut av boreriggen sluses fortrinnsvis inn og ut via sluse-anordninger. The containers that are to enter and exit the drilling rig are preferably sluiced in and out via sluice devices.

En anordning ifølge oppfinnelsen tilveiebringer en løsning for å kunne ta hånd om for eksempel borefluid som strømmer ut under fråkopling av rør, idet væsken som befinner seg inne i koplingsenheten sirkuleres gjennom utskilleren. A device according to the invention provides a solution to be able to take care of, for example, drilling fluid that flows out during pipe disconnection, as the liquid inside the coupling unit is circulated through the separator.

I det etterfølgende beskrives et ikke-begrensende eksempel på en foretrukket utførel-sesform som er anskueliggjort på medfølgende tegninger, hvor: Fig. 1 viser en prinsippskisse av en kapslet borerigg med forbindelse til et overflatefar-tøy; Fig. 2 viser en prinsippskisse av et automatisert boredekk som omfatter en kapslet koplingsenhet for sammen- og fraskruing av rørseksjoner; Fig. 3 viser den kapslede koplingsenhet for rørseksjoner; In what follows, a non-limiting example of a preferred embodiment is described which is visualized in the accompanying drawings, where: Fig. 1 shows a principle sketch of a encapsulated drilling rig with connection to a surface vessel; Fig. 2 shows a principle sketch of an automated drilling deck which comprises a encapsulated coupling unit for connecting and unscrewing pipe sections; Fig. 3 shows the encapsulated coupling unit for pipe sections;
