  • the opening 12 and recess 13 correspond to the opening 2 and recess 3 of the wrenching tong when the back-up tong 11 and the wrenching tong 1 are correctly aligned.
  • a plurality of guide rollers 10 or other guide elements are spaced around the edge of the wrenching tong 1 in order to maintain the alignment of the wrenching tong 1 with the back-up tong 11.
  • a gear 14 is provided around the periphery of the back-up tong 11, broken by the recess 13.
  • the gear 14 meshes with the pinions 7 attached to the motors 5 on the wrenching tong, so that when the drive motors 5 drive the drive shafts 6 and gears 7, the wrenching tong 1 rotates relative to the back-up tong 11.
  • the angle of rotation is limited by the recess 13 of the back up tong.
  • Figure 3 shows a back-up tong 11 before the wrenching tong is placed on top of it.
  • the back-up tong 11 has a plurality of roller bearings 21, upon which the wrenching tong 1 is designed to be placed.

  • resilient means such as springs, elastic material or hydraulic/pneumatic cylinders, in order to support the wrenching tong during wrenching.
  • the stands will move axially relative to one another as the connection is tightened.
  • the wrenching tong must follow the axial movement of the top stand during one wrenching cycle. This axial travel length depends on the pitch of the thread.
  • Three clamping jaws 8 equipped with dies 9 are located inside each of the wrenching tong 1 and back-up tong 11. These are hydraulically driven for clamping the drill pipe stand in place in the centre of the wrenching tong.
  • the hydraulic power supply may be provided by hoses (not shown).
  • FIG 4 shows the clamping mechanism of the back-up tong 11.
  • Three hydraulic pistons 16, comprising piston rods 17 and chambers 18, are located inside the casing of the back-up tong 11.
  • Each piston rod 17 has an end 19 which is secured to the outside edge of the back-up tong 11.
  • the jaw 8 containing two dies 9 with teeth (not shown) is fixed to the chamber 18 by a spherical bearing 20.
  • each drill pipe stand is clamped by three jaws and six dies at the joint.
  • the spherical bearings 20 enable the jaws and dies to match the pipe surfaces closely, resulting in a low penetration depth of the teeth of the dies into the pipe surface, and thus prolonging the life of the drill pipe.
  • the wrenching tong has a similar clamping jaw design, as shown in Figure 5.
  • Figure 6 shows the wrenching tong 1 and back-up tong 11 supported by a C- frame 22 for handling at the rig.
  • the C-frame 22 is in turn fixed in a frame 23 for handling the equipment on tracks at the rig floor.
  • a drill pipe spinner 24 is mounted on the C-frame above the tongs for rotating a drill pipe stand at high speed.
  • the recesses 3 and 13 in the wrenching 1 and back-up 11 tongs are aligned (the tongs may already be in this configuration following the removal of the tongs from a previous section of tubing).
  • Two stands of drill pipe 25,26 are then introduced into the openings 2,12 in the wrenching and back-up tongs 1,11, respectively, through the recesses 3,13, and the lower stand 26 is clamped in position in the back-up tong 11.
  • the upper stand 25 is introduced into the drill pipe spinner 24, and rotated at high speed in order to pre- tighten the threaded connection. The final high torque will be applied by the wrenching tong 1.
  • the upper stand 25 is now clamped in position in the opening 2 through the wrenching tong 1.
  • the pinion drives 4 are then driven to torque the connection between the stands 25,26 until the connection is fully tightened or until one of the pinion drives 4 is at the edge of the recess 13, at which stage the wrenching tong 1 is at one end of its possible arc of travel relative to the back-up tong 11.

  • the stands of drill pipe 25,26 are introduced to the tongs 1,11 through the recesses 3,13 and pretightened using the drill pipe spinner 24 as described above.
  • the wrenching tong drive is reversed, and the wrenching tong 1 is driven to its end position relative to the back-up tong, as shown in Figure 7.
  • the top stand 25 is now clamped with the tongs in this position, so that with the embodiment shown a wrenching angle of 150° is achievable.
  • Figure 8 shows a similar arrangement of a composite wrenching tong and back-up tong to that described above. However, in this case only one pinion drive 4 is used, which increases the possible wrenching angle to 300°.
  • Figure 9 shows another similar arrangement, with two pinion drives 4 being used as in Figures 1 to 7. This time the pinion drives 4 are not opposite each other, but spaced 120° each side of the recess 3. This gives the advantage of the torque and control provided by two drives, but allows a higher wrenching angle than the arrangement of Figure 1.
  • the maximum wrenching angle in this embodiment will be in the region of 210°.
  • the torque can be monitored by measuring the reaction torque at each drive by means of a load cell, or by measuring the pressure of the drive motor.
  • the preferred embodiments show an arrangement whereby the pinion drives are mounted on the wrenching tong and the gear is mounted on the back-up tong.
  • the arrangement could be the other way round with the pinion drives mounted to the back-up tong and the large gear mounted on the wrenching tong. Such an arrangement is illustrated in Figure 10.
  • the wrenching tong could be provided with a gear, and the pinion drives mounted on the frame 24.
  • Hydraulic clamping cylinders are shown, but the tong could clamp the drill pipe stands by any known means.
  • the preferred embodiments show one or two pinion drives, but more could be used if arranged in a suitable configuration.
  • Figure 11 illustrates in partial section a modified back-up tong 40 which may replace the back-up tong 11 of the embodiment of Figure 1 to 9.
  • the modified tong
  • each bolt 40 has only two jaws 41 associated with respective clamping arrangements 42.
  • Each arrangement 42 is held in place within the main body 43 of the tong 40 by a set of four "pendulum” bolts 44.
  • a clamping arrangement 42 associated with four pendulum bolts 44 is illustrated in more detail in Figure 12 from which it can be seen that each bolt comprises a cylinder cut in half along its longitudinal axis to provide a flat surface and a rounded surface. The flat surface of each bolt 44 abuts the side of the clamping arrangement 42, whilst the rounded side is located in a rounded recess 45 provided in the side of the main body 43 opposed to the clamping arrangement.
  • each clamping arrangement 42 may pivot slightly about its centre. This allows the jaws 41 to conform to the outer surface of a tubular to be clamped when the tubular is for example not perfectly cylindrical.
  • FIG 13 illustrates apparatus which can be used in association with a tong arrangement 49 to connect and disconnect a tool such as a drill bit to and from a length of tubular such as a drill pipe.
  • the apparatus comprises a basket 50 which is arranged in use to be placed on the floor of a drilling rig.
  • the basket 50 has an opening in the top thereof for receiving a tool 51 which is to be connected to a length of tubular 52.
  • the opening has a shape which is complimentary to the shape of the tool 51 such that the tool is held securely in an upright position and rotation of the tool within the basket 50 is prevented.
  • the tool 51 is first located in the basket 50.
