Definitions
- heavy tubulars extend downward from the platform and may be supported by engagement with a landing string.
- the landing string may be provided by drill pipe or other high-tensile tubulars.
- Such landing strings are often required to support a heavy load, such that traditional running systems, which generally employ slips or bushings to hold the tubular by engaging the outer diameter thereof, are inadequate.
- landing strings are typically lowered by engagement with an upset (i.e., a shoulder) on the tubular body of the landing string.
- an upset i.e., a shoulder
- One way to do this is to employ dual-upset tubulars, allowing the tubular to be lowered by engaging one upset with the elevator and the second with the spider.
- Another common method shuttles or circulates a pair of elevators to ensure that only the upset is engaged, thereby obviating the need for special dual-upset tubulars.
- the first elevator begins suspended by the bails, while the second elevator acts as a spider, resting on the rotary table and supporting the landing string by the upset of the uppermost tubular of the landing string (i.e., the most recently run-in segment). The first elevator engages a the exposed box of the landing string.
- the slips or bushings of the second elevator are then disengaged from the upset and the second elevator is removed; thus, the weight of the landing string is transmitted through the new tubular segment to the first elevator.
- the first elevator then lowers until it abuts the rotary table, and, as such, now acts as a spider.
- the bails are then switched to the second elevator, which engages another new tubular segment, and the process is repeated.
- WO2012/151146A2 discloses an elevator and spider in which wedges of the spider may be configured to slide axially at least partially in channels of the elevator.
- US2008/0149326A1 discloses a method and apparatus for handling a supported tubular string with an elevator and spider.
- EP2216496A2 discloses an oilfield tubular elevator and method of use.
- EP2189619A1 discloses an adjustable pipe guide for use with an elevator and/or a spider.
- WO2011/005501A2 discloses large diameter tubular lifting apparatuses and methods.
- first and second features are formed in direct contact
- additional features may be formed interposing the first and second features, such that the first and second features may not be in direct contact.
- exemplary embodiments presented below may be combined in any combination of ways, i.e., any element from one exemplary embodiment may be used in any other exemplary embodiment, without departing from the scope of the disclosure.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of an exemplary running system 10, according to an embodiment described.
- the exemplary running system 10 may be particularly useful for running landing strings; however, it will be appreciated that the running system 10 disclosed herein may be equally applicable to running, lowering, raising, making-up, breaking-out, or otherwise moving any type of tubulars for any purpose.
- the running system 10 generally includes first and second tubular engagement devices 12, 14.
- the first tubular engagement device 12 is movable, and may be referred to as an elevator 12.
- the second tubular engagement device 14, on the other hand, may be stationary and may be referred to as a spider 14.
- the elevator 12 includes a body 16, which may have a generally cylindrical shape and opposing flats 18, 20. Ears 22, 24 for engagement with bails (not shown) extend from the flats 18, 20, for example outward, such that the elevator 12 may be suspended from the rig (e.g., via a traveling block and/or top drive, not shown) and movable vertically toward or away from the spider 14.
- the body 16 defines a central bore 26 therethrough, in which gripping assemblies 28, 30, 32, 34 are positioned.
- gripping assembly is intended to be broadly defined to include any configuration of one or more slips, bushings, or any other device(s) used to engage a tubular, whether including teeth or not. Channels 36, 38, 40, 42 are defined by the bore 26, between adjacent gripping assemblies 28, 30, 32, 34.
- each of the gripping assemblies 28, 30, 32, 34 may generally include a tapered housing 44, a bracket 46, a piston 48, and a wedge 50.
- wedge is intended to be broadly defined to include slips, bushings, bushing segments, or any like structures capable of applying a gripping force to a tubular, whether including teeth or not.
- the wedge 50 is free from teeth or other marking structures.
- the tapered housing 44 is generally positioned in the bore 26 and bears on the body 16; further, the tapered housing 44 may be integral with a remainder of the body 16 and/or may be coupled thereto.
- the tapered housing 44 is tapered such that it extends radially inward, proceeding downwards, and provides a channel 45 in which the bracket 46 and piston 48 are at least partially disposed.
- the bracket 46 is moved in the channel 45 by movement of the piston 48.
- the piston 48 may be moved or articulated by a hydraulic assembly, as is well-known in the art.
- the piston 48 may be driven by pneumatics, motors, springs, linkages, combinations thereof, or the like.
- the bracket 46 may be configured to transmit longitudinal, for example, upward, force on the wedge 50, to disengage the wedge 50 from a tubular (not shown), as will be described in greater detail below.
- four gripping assemblies 28, 30, 32, 34 are shown, it will be appreciated that fewer or additional gripping assemblies, for example, two, three, five, six or more gripping assemblies, may be used without departing from the scope of the disclosure.
- the spider 14 includes a body 100, which may be generally cylindrical in shape and may have an increased-radius shoulder 101 defining at least a portion of the top of the body 100.
- the shoulder 101 of the body 100 defines flats (three are visible: 102, 104, 106) on its outer diameter for engagement with various tools or other structures, as will be described in greater detail below. Further, the shoulder 101 may define a landing surface 108 on the upper side thereof.
- the body 100 may also define a bore 103 extending axially therethrough, for receiving a tubular (not shown). Proximal the top of the bore 103, the body 100 may define an annular seat 105, which is recessed from the landing surface 108.
- the body 100 may be split, as shown, defining two or more generally arc-shaped segments 109a, 109b.
- the segments 109a,b may be held together by an interior surface defined in the rotary table (not shown), as is known in the art. In other embodiments, however, other structures such as a retaining collar or the like may be used to secure the position of the body 100. Additionally, in still other embodiments, the segments 109a,b may be coupled together via a hinge (not shown) or any other coupling mechanism.
- Gripping assemblies 110, 112, 114, 116 may extend upward from the landing surface 108 and the seat 105 and inward from the bore 103.
- Channels 118, 120, 122, 124 are defined between adjacent gripping assemblies 110, 112, 114, 116.
- each gripping assembly 110, 112, 114, 116 may include a tapered housing 126, a bracket 128, a wedge 130, and a piston 132. Further, the housing 126 provides a channel 135 therein for guiding longitudinal movement of the bracket 128.
- the bracket 128 is coupled to the wedge 130 and may be configured to transfer longitudinal force from the piston 132 to the wedge 130, for example, to raise or lower the wedge 130 into or out of engagement with a tubular (not shown).
- the piston 132 may be driven to move the bracket 128 by pneumatics, hydraulics, motors, mechanical linkages, springs, combinations thereof, or the like.
- FIGS 2-7 illustrate an exemplary operation of the running system 10, whereby a sequence of the elevator 12 engaging and moving a tubular 200, lowering the tubular 200 through the spider 14, transferring load to the spider 14, and disengaging from the tubular 200 is illustrated. It will be appreciated that this sequence may be reversed, or otherwise rearranged without departing from the scope of this disclosure.
- the gripping assemblies 28, 30, 32, 34, particularly the wedges 50 are configured to releasably engage the tubular 200.
- the wedges 50 may be drawn downward by engagement with the tubular 200 or by driving the piston 48 downward, as described above.
- the tapered housing 44 is generally prevented from moving radially outward by the body 16, and thus the wedges 50 sliding downward causes the wedges 50 to move inward, toward the tubular 200, until the wedges 50 securely engage the tubular 200.
- the bails (not shown) coupled to the ears 22, 24 may thus enable the rig (not shown) to carry the weight of the tubular 200.
- the tubular 200 is generally free from engagement with the elevator 12 in the channels 36, 38, 40, 42.
- Figure 3 illustrates a perspective view of the running system 10, with the elevator 12 and the spider 14 being moved vertically into close proximity with one another, according to an embodiment described.
- the gripping assemblies 28, 30, 32, 34 of the elevator 12 may be angularly aligned with the channels 118, 120, 122, 124 (channels 120 and 122 are viewable in Figure 4 ) of the spider 14, while the gripping assemblies 28, 30, 32, 34 engage the tubular 200 and transmit its weight via the body 16 of the elevator 12 to the rig (not shown).
- the spider 14 generally does not engage the tubular 200 to bear its weight, although in some instances, it is contemplated that the spider 14 may provide guidance for the lowering of the tubular 200.
- the elevator 12 is lowered toward the spider 14 while engaging an upset (not shown) of the tubular 200, as will be described in greater detail below.
- the body 100 of the spider 14 is surrounded by the rotary table 134.
- the rotary table 134 defines a generally rectangular inner surface 136, with the generally cylindrical body 100 being inscribed therein.
- the flats 102, 104, 106 flats 104 and 102 are viewable in Figure 3 ) of the shoulder 1 01 of the body 100 may bear on the inner surface 136.
- the segments 109a,b of the body 100 may be restrained from separating by the rotary table 134, thereby preventing the gripping assemblies 110, 112, 114, 116 of the spider 14 from moving radially-outward.
- the body 100 of the spider 14 may, in some embodiments, not be segmented, may be hinged, and/or may include more than two segments.
- FIGS 3-5 illustrate perspective and top views, respectively, of the running system 10, showing the elevator 12 transferring the load of the tubular 200 to the spider 14, according to an embodiment described.
- the gripping assemblies 110, 112, 114, 116 extend upward, toward the elevator 12 and are sized to slide axially and fit at least partially in the channels 36, 38, 40, 42 of the elevator 12.
- the gripping assemblies 28, 30, 32, 34 of the elevator 12 are positioned and sized so as to align with and slide at least partially in the channels 118, 120, 122, 124 of the spider 14 (best shown in Figure 1 ).
- the elevator 12 is thus received into the spider 14, such that, in an exemplary embodiment, the elevator 12 rests on the landing surface 108 ( Figure 3 ) of the spider 14.
- the enmeshed gripping assemblies 28, 30, 32, 34 and 110, 112, 114, 116 of the elevator 12 and the spider 14, respectively, are thus both positioned about the tubular 200 at approximately equal axial locations.
- the gripping assemblies 110, 112, 114, 116 of the spider 14 may be engaged when the elevator 12 comes into proximity with, for example lands on, the landing surface 108 ( Figure 3 ).
- the gripping assemblies 110, 112, 114, 116 of the spider 14 are at approximately the same axial location on the tubular 200 as are the gripping assemblies 28, 30, 32, 34 of the elevator 12.
- the gripping assemblies 110, 112, 114, 116 may then engage the tubular 200, for example, the upset (not shown) to which the gripping assemblies 28, 30, 32, 34 of the elevator 12 are also engaged, though at different circumferential locations about the tubular 200.
- the gripping assemblies 28, 30, 32, 34 of the elevator 12 may be disengaged.
- the elevator 12 releases the tubular 200, and the weight of the tubular 200 is transferred seamlessly to the spider 14.
- the elevator 12 may be raised upwards, may have a hinge (not shown) that can open to allow the elevator 12 to be laterally removed, or may be otherwise configured for removal.
- this enmeshing of the gripping assemblies 28, 30, 32, 34, 110, 112, 114, 116 allows the spider 14 and the elevator 12 to engage a single upset, transfer the load between the two (e.g., from the elevator 12 to the spider 14), and release the elevator 12 so that it may be used to engage another tubular (not shown), to repeat the engaging and lowering process.
- FIGs 6 and 7 illustrate perspective and top views, respectively, of the spider 14 engaging the tubular 200, according to an embodiment described.
- the elevator 12 e.g., Figure 5
- the gripping assemblies 110, 112, 114, 116 of the spider 14 engage and maintain the position of the tubular 200, while the rotary table 134 maintains the radial position of the body 100, and thus of the gripping assemblies 110, 112, 114, 116.
- the gripping assemblies 110, 112, 114, 116 of the spider 14 are illustrated as extending upward for being received into the channels 36, 38, 40, 42 of the elevator 12, while the gripping assemblies 28, 30, 32, 34 are generally disposed within the bore 26 of the elevator 12, it will be appreciated that variations of this arrangement are within the scope of this disclosure.
- the gripping assemblies 28, 30, 32, 34 may extend downward, such that they are received in the channels 118, 120, 122, 124 of the spider 14.
- the gripping assemblies 110, 112, 114, 116 may still extend generally upward from the landing surface 108, may reside partially within the bore 103 and partially extending upward from the landing surface 108, or may extend at least partially, or even entirely, down from the landing surface 108, or from a point in the bore 103 below the landing surface 108.
- tubular engagement devices 12, 14 may be movable, without departing from the scope of the disclosure.
- first tubular engagement device 12 may be stationary, while the second tubular engagement device 14 is movable.
- illustrated views of running system 10 may be flipped, such that the first tubular engagement device 12 is moved upward to the second tubular engagement device 14, or the second tubular engagement device 14 is lowered to the first tubular engagement device 12.
- the tubular engagement device 300 may be generally representative of the structure and operation of the elevator 12 and/or the spider 14 described above. Accordingly, the tubular engagement device 300 generally includes gripping assemblies 301, 302. Although two gripping assemblies 301, 302 are shown, it will be appreciated that additional gripping assemblies may be employed, for example two additional gripping assemblies, without departing from the scope of this disclosure.
- the gripping assemblies 301, 302 each generally include a tapered housing 304, 306 and a wedge 308, 310, respectively.
- the wedges 308, 310 are slidable with respect to the housings 304, 306, respectively, and are reverse tapered with respect thereto. Accordingly, as the wedges 308, 310 are drawn downward, for example, by friction from engagement with the tubular 200 and/or by pneumatics, hydraulics, motors, linkages, or the like, the wedges 308, 310 are pushed inwards into engagement with the tubular 200.
- the tapered housing 304, 306 supplies the reactionary axial and horizontal force against the wedges 308, 310.
- the base 312 transfers the weight of the tubular 200, either by resting on a platform (e.g., for a spider), by hanging from the rig via bails (e.g., for an elevator), or in any other suitable manner.
- the wedges 308, 310 each define upper and lower interior surfaces 314, 316 and 318, 320, respectively.
- the upper interior surfaces 314, 318 may be tapered, converging toward a central axis 322, proceeding downwardly.
- the lower interior surfaces 316, 320 may be generally parallel to the axis 322. In other embodiments, however, the lower interior surfaces 316, 320 may also be tapered, converging toward the central axis 322, proceeding downward.
- one, some, or all of the upper and/or lower interior surfaces 314, 316, 318, 320 may be free from teeth or other marking structures; however, in various other embodiments, any of the surfaces 314, 316, 318, 320 may include such teeth or other marking structures (none shown) to facilitate engagement with the tubular 200.
- the upper interior surfaces 314, 318 may be shaped to abut and engage an upset 324 of the tubular 200.
- the upset 324 may be a radial protrusion extending radially outward from a remaining tubular body 326, as shown, but in other embodiments may extend radially inward.
- the upset 324 may be disposed on (e.g., fastened, welded, brazed, or otherwise connected to, integral with, or otherwise part of) the tubular 200.
- the upset 324 may be capable of withstanding greater tensile forces than the tubular body 326 and transmitting such axial forces to the gripping assemblies 301, 302. Accordingly, the upset 324 may represent an area desirable for the gripping assemblies 301, 302 to engage, to avoid slip crushing the tubular 200.
- the lower interior surfaces 316, 320 may engage the tubular body 326, as shown. Accordingly, some of the axial load of the tubular 200 weight is transmitted via the radial gripping force applied by the gripping assemblies 301, 302 onto the tubular body 326.
- the tubular engagement device 300, and ultimately the rig may be able to support and run the tubular 200, while supporting strings having a greater weight than that which a simple engagement with the upset 324, let alone engagement only with the tubular body 326 by itself, is capable of safely handling.
- Figure 9 illustrates a method 400 for lowering a tubular, according to an embodiment described.
- the method 400 may proceed by operation of the running system 10 and/or the tubular engagement device 300 described above with reference to Figures 1-9 and may be best understood with reference thereto.
- the method 400 includes engaging an upset of the tubular with gripping assemblies of a first tubular engagement device, as at 402. More particularly, in at least one embodiment, such engagement may include simultaneously engaging the upset and a body of the tubular to support a weight of the tubular via engagement with both the upset and the body.
- the tubular supported by the first tubular engagement device, as at 402 may then be lowered into and made-up to a tubular string, such that the method 400 includes supporting the weight of the string of tubulars with the first engagement device.
- the method 400 further includes vertically moving, for example, lowering the tubular through a second tubular engagement device by lowering the first tubular engagement device, as at 404.
- the method 400 may also include receiving gripping assemblies of the second tubular engagement device into channels defined between gripping assemblies of the first tubular engagement device, as at 406.
- the method 400 may also include engaging the upset of the tubular with the gripping assemblies of the second tubular engagement device, as at 408.
- the method 400 may further include disengaging the upset of the tubular from the gripping assemblies of the first tubular engagement device, such that the upset is supported by the second tubular engagement device, as at 410.
- elevator 512 in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present disclosure is shown in top ( Figure 10 ) and perspective ( Figure 11 ) views. Similar to elevators 12 depicted in Figures 1-5 , elevator 512 of Figures 10 and 11 includes a main body 516, a pair of flats 518, 520, a pair of lifting ears 522, 524, a plurality (six shown) of gripping assemblies 528, and a plurality of channels (not visible) configured to receive plurality of gripping assemblies (e.g., 550 of Figures 12 and 13 ) of a corresponding spider ( e . g ., 514 of Figures 12 and 13 ).
- plurality of gripping assemblies e.g., 550 of Figures 12 and 13
- a corresponding spider e.g ., 514 of Figures 12 and 13 .
- spider 514 in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present disclosure is shown in top ( Figure 12 ) and perspective ( Figure 13 ) views. Similar to spider 14 of Figures 1 , 3 , 4 , 6 and 7 , spider 514 includes a main body 540, a plurality of gripping assemblies 550 and a plurality of channels 552 configured to receive plurality of gripping assemblies 528 of corresponding elevator 512 ( Figures 10 and 11 ).
- elevator 512 and spider 514 further comprise one or more alignment features to ensure that gripping assemblies 528 of elevator 512 properly engage channels 552 of spider 514, and gripping assemblies 550 of spider 514 properly engage channels (not visible) within elevator 512.
- the phrase "proper engagement” refers to an axial engagement of elevator 512 with spider 514 such that gripping assemblies (528 and 550, respectively) are allowed to engage with their corresponding channels without engaging, interfering, or otherwise impacting each other as elevator 512 is lowered proximate to and on top of spider 514.
- elevator 512 is shown comprising two alignment features in the form of bore holes 560 and 562, while spider 514 is shown comprising two alignment features in the form of bore holes 564 and 566.
- Alignment feature bore holes 560, 562, 564, and 566 may be used in combination with alignment rods (not shown) to ensure that as elevator 512 is lowered to spider 514 by a rig's draw works, proper radial alignment of gripping assemblies 528 and 550 is maintained.
- alignment rods may be rigidly affixed within holes 564 and 566 of spider 514 to allow slidable engagement with holes 560 and 562 of elevator 512, and in other embodiments, alignment rods may be rigidly affixed within holes 560 and 562 of elevator 512 to allow slidable engagement with holes 564 and 566 of spider 514.
- alignment rods may be tapered at a free end to facilitate engagement within alignment features (i.e., holes) 560 and 562, or 564 and 566, and in other embodiments alignment feature bore holes may be tapered to facilitate engagement with free ends of alignment rods.
- alignment rods used in conjunction with alignment features 560, 562, 564, and 566 may extend the entire length of the draw works to maintain radial alignment of elevator 512 with spider 514 along the entire lifting stroke of elevator 512 or, in alternative embodiments, alignment rods may only be of sufficient length to maintain radial alignment of elevator 512 with spider 514 for a portion of the lifting stroke of elevator 512.
- a spider assembly 614 in accordance with embodiments disclosed herein includes a main body 640 split into two sections 640A and 640B, a pair of retaining bolts 670 and 672 to retain halves 640A and 640B together, and a pair of alignment feature holes 664 and 666.
- spider assembly 614 is shown having a plurality (six shown) of gripping assemblies 650A-F and a plurality of channels 652 configured to receive a plurality of gripping assemblies from a corresponding elevator ( e . g ., 512 of Figures 10 and 11 ).
- gripping assemblies 650A-F each include a wedge 655A-C driven by a corresponding piston 680A-C.
- spider assembly 614 further comprises a timing ring split into two sections 682A, 682B corresponding to main body halves 640A and 640B.
- timing ring 682A connected to pistons 680A, 680B, and 680C, ensures that wedges 655A, 655B, and 655C move to engage and/or disengage a tubular (or other device) simultaneously at the same rate and relative position as timing ring section 682A is moved by an actuator 684A.
- timing ring section 682B ensures that wedges of gripping assemblies 650D-F within main body half 640B move to engage and/or disengage a tubular simultaneously as timing ring section 682B is thrust by actuator 684B.
- timing ring sections 682A and 682B and actuators 684A and 684B allow gripping assemblies 650A-F to simultaneously engage a tubular located within the bore of spider assembly 614 such that the tool is centrally positioned within the bore of spider 614 and so that radial and axial loads may be more evenly applied to the tubular.
