Definitions

  • the invention relates to the mounting of a casing shoe around a cylindrical drilling apparatus, which shoe is used by drilling and pulled into the ground on drilling.
  • Previously known, among other things, from Finish patent specification 86571 is a casing shoe around a cylindrical drill where on the drill periphery there is a grooving, in which the welded ring of the casing shoe is installed.
  • the drill can rotate with respect to the ring and also move axially determined by the groove.
  • the ring is formed of two halves by welding in the groove as a complete ring, further the ring is welded on the casing or the shoe .
  • the ring to be fitted in the groove must be of made two halves so that it can be installed in the groove, or the whole shoe must be cleaved longitudinally as equal halves and welded together around the drilling apparatus in order to produce a- shoulder to restrict axial motions.
  • the shoe has no welds, since the shoulder in the shoe, is produced by turning or shaping.
  • the method solves all problems and the method is characterized in what is presented in the patent claims.
  • Fig. 1 shows the shoe to be pushed into the tool, and the drilling apparatus
  • Fig. 2 shows the shoe shrunk in the tool around the drilling apparatus .
  • Fig. 3 shows the openable ring utilized for mounting.
  • Fig. 4 shows shrinking of shoe by means of clamp jaws.
  • Figure 1 is a drilling apparatus furnished with a transverse groove 9, into which the shoulder 8 of shoe 4 is to be fitted. Further, the whole shoe 4 should be shrunk to a diameter size distinctively smaller than the outer diameter size Du of drilling apparatus 2 so that the shoe could advance in the drilled borehole.
  • the casing to be pulled into the borehole is welded as a butted joint or a lap joint in the rear edge of the shoe.
  • the shoe is turned to such a diameter that it can be slid into a position around the drilling apparatus as shown in figure 1.
  • a two-piece ring as per figure 3 is placed, which by means of joint 7 can be both fitted in and taken off groove 9.
  • Tool 5 is a shrinking tool comprised of a conical portion 6 that causes the shrinking of the shoe.
  • the drilling apparatus and the shoe are pressed into tool 5 till shoe 4 is fully in the cylindrical portion Ds of the tool.
  • the shoe is shrunk to a diameter size of Ds, fitted to be distinctively smaller than Du, which is the diameter size of the drilling apparatus and also the borehole diameter.
  • Du which is the diameter size of the drilling apparatus and also the borehole diameter.
  • shrinking can be carried out by pushing drilling apparatus 2 and, in spite of its bigger diameter the drilling apparatus does not yet reach the conical surface 6 of tool 5, even though shoe 4 has not fully passed the conical surface. Pushing can be stopped at this point and the shoe and drilling apparatus pushed back from the tool.
  • Shoe 4 has then become formed through shrinking to its diameter size Ds and locked by means of shoulder 8 into groove 9, and the joint is ready.
  • the shoe shrinkage is produced by a tool and the tool dimensioned so that after shrinking there will remain between shoe a clear sliding fit.
  • the sliding fit allows mutual rotation and axial motion between shoe and drilling apparatus.
  • the shoulder 8 is locked in groove 9 to endure loads caused by pulling the casing.
  • Figure 4 shows the shrinking of shoe 4 by multi-jaw squeezing with the shoe in proper position around the drilling apparatus. Shoulder 8 takes then its place in groove 9.
  • the shoe is shrunk ab. 2 to 8 % of the diameter in the embodiment, where the shoe retains it form during shrinking. Usually, the shoe is then shrunk all over. If the shoe is formed beforehand to a smaller diameter as to its rear edge, the shoe is shrunk at least on the portion, where the shoulder is formed. Shoe shrinking elsewhere is then not necessary.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de monter un sabot de tubage (4) autour d'un appareil de forage cylindrique (2). On utilise ce sabot en l'enfonçant dans le sol pendant le forage. Lorsqu'ils sont installés, ce sabot (4) et cet appareil de forage (2) peuvent tourner l'un sur l'autre et se déplacer axialement l'un par rapport à l'autre sur une certaine distance, lorsqu'un épaulement (8) du sabot est logé dans un sillon transversal (9) situé sur le pourtour de l'appareil de forage, lequel sillon détermine la longueur du mouvement axial. Le sabot cylindrique (2) est rétréci de manière que son diamètre extérieur autour d'un certain point de l'appareil de forage (2) soit inférieur au diamètre extérieur (Du) dudit appareil de forage.
