Definitions

  • the invention relates to a drilling unit for mounting on a deck of a floating vessel, the drilling unit comprising a drill tower structure with a heave-compensation system for compensating vertical movements of the floating vessel due to waves, wherein the drilling unit further comprises a winch and at least one wire rope connected to the winch.
  • Floating drilling and intervention vessels must have a heave-compensation system to compensate for the vertical movements transferred from the wave surge to the vessel.
  • a heave-compensation system can be mounted at the top side of the derrick or drill tower or anywhere in the load path if a stationary sheave is used.
  • the invention has for its object to remedy or to reduce at least one of the drawbacks of the prior art, or at least provide a useful alternative to prior art. It is a further object of the invention to provide an improved and overall more compact design of a compensation system.
  • the invention in a first aspect relates to a drilling unit for mounting on a deck of a floating vessel.
  • the drilling unit comprises a drill tower structure with a heave-compensation system for compensating vertical movements of the floating vessel due to waves.
  • the drilling unit further comprises a winch, a crown block mounted at a top side of the drill tower structure and at least one wire rope provided between the winch and the crown block.
  • the heave-compensation system comprises a slideable support frame configured to be moved relative to the drill tower structure in a direction substantially parallel to the axial direction (in practise this is a vertical direction) of the drill tower structure, wherein either the winch or the crown block is provided within the slideable support frame such that a distance between the winch and the crown block is controllable.
  • the position of the slideable support frame with respect to the drill tower structure is controlled by at least one electric motor or linear actuator.
  • a first important aspect is the slideable support frame.
  • a slideable support frame which comprises either the crown block or the winch, the distance between the winch and the crown block may be made controllable. This opens up the way to compensate vertical movements of the floating vessel due to waves by simply moving the slideable support frame.
  • the slideable support frame is actuated by at least one electric motor or linear actuator. That feature on itself is quite revolutionary as the prior art systems are all based on hydraulic systems. Switching the system towards the electrical domain leads to significant advantages. For instance, the heave-compensation system may now be fed by the same power supply as the winch system (which is often electrically driven).
  • the heave-compensation system may in certain embodiments be combined with electrical energy recovery systems, i.e. the electrical energy recovery systems may be used to supply power to the heave-compensation system of the invention.
  • the winch itself is also heave-compensated, in that the actuation of the winch is done such that vertical movements of the floating vessel due to waves are compensated for.
  • the invention thus provides for an extra heave-compensation system, which either may support the other heave-compensation system or be used as a back-up system in case the other system fails. Both scenarios are very effective and advantageous for the oil industry.
  • the invention provides for accurate compensation, at reduced weight and volume and allows for energy storage in a safe and controlled area placed anywhere on the rig.
  • Electric cabling of such heave-compensation system normally runs to so-called VFD cabinets that are normally stored inside or below the deck.
  • safety means non-hazardous/non-explosive. Serviceability may also be severely improved due to these factors and efficiency of electric systems are considerable better than traditional hydraulic systems.
  • the wording "drill tower structure” is used, this must be interpreted as including hoisting towers, derricks and any other type of drilling structure.
  • the wording “crown block” is used, this must be interpreted as that part at the top side of the drill tower structure, which houses or holds at least one top sheave for guiding the at least one wire rope.
  • the slideable support frame is provided with at least one friction track
  • the drill tower structure is provided with at least one rotatable friction wheel that is driven by the at least one electric motor or linear actuator.
  • the at least one rotatable friction wheel is configured for rolling over the at least one friction track for controlling the position of the slideable support frame.
  • the drill tower structure is provided with at least one friction track
  • the slideable support frame is provided with at least one rotatable friction wheel that is driven by the at least one electric motor or linear actuator.
  • the at least one rotatable friction wheel is configured for rolling over the at least one friction track for controlling the position of the slideable support frame.
  • the at least one friction wheel is directly driven by the at least one electric motor or linear actuator.
  • the electric motor or linear actuator may have a driving axle that is directly coupled to an axle of the friction wheel.
  • An embodiment of the drilling unit in accordance with the invention further comprises one or more respective gearing systems in between the at least one electric motor or linear actuator and the at least one friction wheel.
  • This embodiment is a variant of the previous-mentioned embodiment in that the electric motor or linear actuator now drives a gearing system, which on its turn drives the friction wheel.
  • the at least one friction track comprises a toothed rack.
  • a toothed rack is able to provide a very large friction, particularly when a pinion (or wheel gear) is used to cooperate with it.
  • the at least one rotatable friction wheel comprises a pinion.
  • a pinion is able to provide a very large friction, particularly when a toothed rack is used to cooperate with it.
  • the winch is also configured for compensating vertical movements of the floating vessel due to waves.
  • the invention may provide for a heave-compensation system that comes in addition to an already existing heave-compensation system (for example on the winch as is the case in this embodiment). Then the heave-compensation system of the invention may be used to either support the other heave-compensation system, or be used as a back-up in case that system fails.
  • An embodiment of the drilling unit in accordance with the invention further comprises an energy recovery system connected to the at least one electric motor or linear actuator.
  • the energy recovery system is configured for storing energy generated by a load when the load is being lowered and for supplying it to the at least one electric motor or linear actuator when the load is being hoisted.
  • This embodiment makes the heave-compensation system of the invention more self-supporting, i.e. it does not or hardly require power from a rig to be able to operate. More information on the implementation of an energy recovery system may be found in US7,923,946 , for example.
  • the winch is provided within the slideable support frame. This embodiment concerns a first main group of embodiments of the invention.
  • the crown block is provided within the slideable support frame. This embodiment concerns a second main group of embodiment of the invention.
  • the winch is located at a drill floor or deck. In another embodiment of the drilling unit in accordance with the invention the winch is located outside the drill tower structure. In yet another embodiment of the drilling unit in accordance with the invention the winch is located inside the drill tower structure.
  • the slideable support frame is configured for being lockable relative the drill tower structure.
  • This embodiment is advantageous in that the heave-compensation system of the invention can be effectively deactivated by the locking of the slideable support frame.
  • Such feature may be convenient in case the hoisting activities of the drilling unit are not critical (i.e. not near the sea bottom) or when service is to be carried out on the drilling unit.
  • the invention in a second aspect relates to a drilling unit for mounting on a deck of a floating vessel.
  • the drilling unit comprises a drill tower structure with a heave-compensation system for compensating vertical movements of the floating vessel due to waves, wherein the drilling unit further comprises a winch and at least one wire rope coupled to the winch.
  • the heave-compensation system comprises a slideable support frame provided at a top side of the drill tower structure, wherein the slideable support frame is configured to be moved relative to the drill tower structure in a direction substantially parallel to the axial direction of the drill tower structure, wherein the winch is provided within the slideable support frame, and wherein the position of the slideable support frame with respect to the drill tower structure is controlled by at least one electric motor or linear actuator.
  • the second aspect of the invention actually does not deviate much from the first aspect. Even stronger it has similar embodiments as the further embodiments discussed with regards to the first aspect. The main difference is that the crown block is missing and that the winch actually takes over the role of the crown block. Thus, this embodiment concerns a third main group of embodiments of the invention.
  • embodiments there may be further sheaves added to the winch in order to guide the at least one wire rope.
  • all "intelligence" in these embodiments is located at the top side of the drill tower structure, still the same principle of the invention is used, namely that the heave-compensation is carried out my controlling the position of the slideable support frame using an electric motor or linear actuator in order to vary the distance, measured along the at least one wire rope, between the winch and the sea (as is indirectly also the case for the other two embodiments). Therefore, these embodiments concern the same invention as the embodiments of the first aspect.
  • the heave-compensation system of the invention may be mounted on floating drilling units where an unintended stop/emergency stop of the heave compensation function may cause severe damage to environment and material.
  • an unintended stop/emergency stop of the heave compensation function may cause severe damage to environment and material.
  • the drill string needs to compensate for the heave that is moving the rig up and down.
  • the rig For some critical operations normally referred to as locked/fixed to bottom operation it is required for the rig to have a passive heave compensation function. Passive heave compensation means that the heave compensation function is self-supporting and does not require power from the rig to operate.
  • the invention may be electrically connected to a Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) or energy recovery system.
  • KERS Kinetic Energy Recovery System
  • the KERS will store the energy generated, when the load is being lowered and supply it to the motors when the load needs to be hoisted. Further details on power regeneration can be found in US patent 7923946 , for example.
  • the invention may work together with the winch heave-compensation system or it may perform only heave compensation while the winch is setting position up or down, for example during landing of an object on the seabed or during a drilling operation.
  • the invention may also work as a back-up system for the winch only, provided that the winch also has heave-compensation possibility (this may become a more common way of using the invention). In this way of using the invention the winch will be performing both hoisting/lowering and heave compensation at the same time. If for any reason the winch needs to stop during this operation the electric top compensator (invention) will instantly take over the heave compensation work from the winch.
  • Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a first main embodiment of the drilling unit 100a in accordance with the invention.
  • the drilling unit 100a comprises a drill tower structure 130, which may be a derrick, a drill tower, or another type of drill structure.

  • This figure also shows the friction tracks 153 on the slideable support frame 150.
  • the rack-and-pinion system as illustrated in the embodiment of Figs. 1 to 9 is just an example of creating a controllable slideable support frame 150, yet the advantage of rack-and-pinion is that the friction is extremely high, i.e. it is a very robust system, the position is well-determined, especially when the pinions are not rotating (and maybe even locked).
  • Fig. 7 shows a slideable support frame 150 in accordance with the embodiment of Fig. 2 .
  • the toothed racks 153 as well as the guided wheels 163 on the outside of the slideable support frame 150 are clearly illustrated.

This embodiment will not be discussed in much detail, but only in as far as it differs from the first embodiment ( Figs. 1 to 9 ). It was already explained that the first embodiment was about varying the distance between the winch 110 and the crown block 151. Fig. 10 shows a further way in which this effect is achieved.
  • a further frame structure 135 is provided underneath the drill tower structure 130 for housing the slideable support frame 150.
