A petrolium platform auxiliary rig and method of removing a well tubing from a petroleum well
Introduction
The present invention is an auxiliary rig and a method of removing a well tubing from a petroleum well. More specifically, the auxiliary rig is arranged for a continuous sequence of using an elevator mechanism for pulling up a long tubing from a well one length at a time until a desired length extends above the deck, holding the tubing using slips at the deck level, cutting off the length of tubing extending above the deck, removing the cut-off tubing from the auxiliary rig, taking a new grip on the tubing and proceeding pulling the a subsequent length of tubing extends above the deck level, and so on, until the entire free tubing is pulled out of the well and the cut off lengths moved away. The auxiliary rig thus comprises a tubing collar elevator with a tubing collar grip, it utilizes slips in the deck, it comprises a tubing cutter tool, and it comprises a tubing remover for removing the cut-off lengths away from the auxiliary rig.
Problem to be solved:
A drilling rig is used for heavy well intervention operations such as drilling using a top drive drilling motor driven drill string, casing insertion, mud pumps for drilling mud circulation, cementing pumps for circulation in cement. The drilling rig is a heavy structure which usually is jacked horizontally from one well slot to another. The drilling rig takes much space, is expensive to operate, and slow to move. Tubing such as well tubing or casing is removed section by section from a well by hoisting out and unscrewing the tubing section by section (or stand by stand) and using a manipulator arm to lay down the disconnected tubing section and transporting it out of the V-door to storage in the pipe rack. The process is slow and inefficient thus costly, and the removed tubing is usually to be considered as scrap metal and not for re-use. While removing a long length of tubing from the well much of the drilling rig remains unused, and could have been used for constructive purposes such as lining, drilling, intervention, sidetracking or plugging operations which require the full capacity of the drilling rig, and the tubing pulling could advantageously be left to a lighter, cheaper rig to build, move, and operate.
From prior art one should refer to WO 2017/091142 A1, which discloses an apparatus for recovering and/or installing conductor casing which comprises a base and a mast having a bottom end pivotally mounted to the base and hydraulically actuable to move between a vertical position and a horizontal position, the mast having a clamp and a tension table for releasably securing a conductor casing segment in tension.
Brief summary of the invention
The present invention solves the above problems and is defined in the attached claims.
The invention is a petroleum platform auxiliary rig (20) comprising a base frame (22), a pivotable arm (21) and a tubing cutter tool (42),
said auxiliary rig (20)
characterized by
- the pivotable arm (21) comprises a tubing collar elevator (32) having a first tubing gripper (33) arranged for travelling at least in the vertical direction, wherein
- said arm (21) is arranged for being pivotable between a vertical orientation over a wellhead (12) of a well (10), and a horizontal orientation;
- said tubing collar gripper (33) is arranged for releasably engaging a tubing collar (2) of a tubing (1) protruding out above said wellhead (12) into said auxiliary rig (20);
- a second tubing gripper (24) is arranged in a deck slot below said pivotable arm (21) and above said wellhead (12); said second tubing gripper (24) is arranged for holding said tubing (1) and preventing said tubing (1) from dropping back into said well (10), and for releasably allowing upward travel of said tubing (1);
- the tubing cutter tool (42) is arranged near a lower end of said auxiliary rig, arranged for cutting off a tubing length (L) of said tubing (1), when pulled up of said well (10);
- said pivotable arm (21) comprising a pivot actuator (56) and a pivot actuator link (210) arranged to lay down said cut-off tubing length (L) to a horizontal orientation,
- a control system (60) with a control line (330') to elevator actuator (330), a control line (42') to tubing cutter tool (42), a control line (56') to pivot actuator (56), a control line (33') to first tubing gripper (33), and a control line (24`) to second tubing gripper (24).
Advantages
Advantages of the present auxiliary rig and the method are:
- The auxiliary rig needs no drilling motor. There is no need to rotate the tubing sections to mutually unscrew them at the tubing collars, the desired lengths of tubing to be cut off are simply cut by a tubing cutter independent of the collar joints.
- The auxiliary rig needs no main hook, it uses a simple tubing collar grip arranged on the tubing collar elevator to pull the tubing up length by length from the well.
- The auxiliary rig needs no mud circulation system, it may utilize existing pumps to circulate in sea water in the tubing and tubing annulus before the tubing is pulled.
- The auxiliary rig needs no drill pipe string stands handling system, in an embodiment a vertical component of the auxiliary rig constitutes its own vertical to horizontal (VTH) arm, as the embodiment is pivoting in the level of the tubing cutter tool and may lay the vertical arm of the auxiliary rig down to the horizontal so as for the cut-off tubing length to be removed away from the auxiliary rig, and the auxiliary rig's arm to be re-erected.
- The absence in the present auxiliary rig of a drilling motor, a main hook, a mud circulation system, a tubing manipulator arm, a stands handling system, as otherwise compared to a drilling rig, saves much weight and cost.

d) - use said tubing collar elevator (32) to pull said gripper (33) to travel upwardly with said upper tubing (1) end, thus also said well tubing (1), at least until a desired length (L) of tubing has been pulled up, this is shown in Fig.2. One may pull up one, two or more tubing sections at a time, depending on the allowable stroke length of the tubing collar elevator. Here is shown only one tubing length is illustrated.
e) - engage a second tubing gripper (24) such as slips near the deck slot, with said well tubing (1) to secure that the remaining long tubing shall not fall back into the well.
f) - use a tubing cutter tool (42) of said auxiliary rig (20) to cut off a tubing length (L) of said tubing (1) above said second tubing gripper (24). The design of the tubing cutter tool may in an embodiment resemble a cutting gate valve of a BOP.
g) while holding said cut-off tubing length (L) in said first tubing gripper (33) in an upper part of said pivotable arm (21) of said auxiliary rig (20), lay down said pivotable arm (21) with said cut-off tubing length (L) to a horizontal orientation. The cut-off length may be of approximately the same length as a tubing length, but the cut off tubing length may in principle be cut to other lengths than that and cut independent of the position of the tubing collars.
h) - release said first tubing gripper (33) and remove said cut-off tubing length (L) from said vertical arm (21);
