Definitions
- This invention relates to a method for the treatment of a pipe string section that is in a set-back. More particularly, it relates to a method for the treatment of threaded portions of pipe string sections, several pipe string sections being in a set-back and the pipe string sections being arranged in a vertical position.
- the invention also includes a device for practising the invention.
- the invention has for its object to remedy or reduce at least one of the drawbacks of the prior art.
- the method may further comprise to position, by remote control, the tool at the threaded portion, the current position of the tool being shown on a display.
- the manipulator may, if desired, measure the length of the relevant pipe string section from a reference point. Such a measurement may be appropriate to calculate the length of the pipe string.
- a tool which is arranged to at least clean or lubricate the threaded portion is arranged, the tool being connected to a remote-controllable manipulator which is positionable at the threaded portion.
- the set-back may be in a derrick in which the pipe string sections may be placed in so-called fingerboards, for example.
- the manipulator may be connected to the structure of the derrick, on which, with advantage, it may be liftable and lowerable.
- the manipulator may have a working range covering, in the main, the set-back and comprise at least one displaceable arm.
- the tool may be displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the drill string section.
- the manipulator may cooperate with a position indication system which is arranged to show the position of the tool on a display screen.
- the operator may carry out the treatment of the threaded portions whenever suitable for the work situation. Thereby the cleaning and lubricating operation has been removed from the break-out or make-up operation itself, which provides for a considerable time gain.
- Figure 1 shows a side view of a device according to the invention, the device being placed in a derrick;
- Figure 2 shows a plan view of the device of figure 1 ;
- Figure 3 shows the device of figure 1, but in a displaced position
- Figure 4 shows a side view of the device according to the invention in an
- Figure 5 shows a plan view of the device of figure 4.
- the reference numeral 1 indicates a derrick with a set-back 2 for pipe string sections 4.
- the supporting structure 3 of the set-back 2 is of a design known per se.
- a manipulator 6 is rotatably and height-displaceably connected to the derrick 1 by means of an electrically or hydraulically activatable swivel guide 8. From the swivel guide 8, two first parallel-motion arms 10 extend to a connecting link 12. Two other parallel-motion arms 14 extend from the connecting link 12 to an elevation guide 16.
- the first and second parallel-motion arms 10, 14 are rotatable in a vertical plane around their respective supporting bolts 18 in, respectively, the swivel guide 8, the connecting link 12 and in the elevation guide 16.
- the components 8, 10, 12, 14 of the manipulator 6, which are electrically or hydraulically operated, are arranged to hold the elevation guide 16 in a vertical position as it is moved in and out relative to the swivel guide 8.
- the elevation guide 16 includes a hydraulic vertically movable tool holder 20 which is provided with a cleaning and lubricating tool 22, hereinafter called tool, of a design known per se for treating the threaded portions 24 of the pipe string sections.
- the manipulator 6 is arranged to controlledly rotate around the swivel guide 8. Additionally, the manipulator 6 is arranged to be displaced heightwise in the swivel guide 8 to coarsely adjust the height level of the manipulator 6 relative to the length of the pipe string sections 4.
- a camera 26 is placed on the elevation guide 16 and directed towards the tool 22 and the threaded portions 24.
- the tool 22 is carried automatically or manually by means of the manipulator 6 to a position at the first of the threaded portions 24 that are to be treated.
- a picture from the camera 26 is shown on a screen, not shown, whereby an operator, not shown, can position the tool 22 approximately concentrically above the threaded portion 24.
- the tool 22 is then moved into the threaded portion 24, after which cleaning and lubricating is carried out in a manner known per se.
- the length of the relevant tool string section from a pipe end support, not shown, may be determined.
- the tool 22 is moved out of the threaded portion 24 and positioned above the next threaded portion 24 that is to be treated.
- the manipulator 6 includes a guide 30 which is vertically movable on a rail 32 by means of an electrically or hydraulically operated gear, not shown, which is in engagement with a pitch rack 34.
- the rail 32 and the pitch rack 34 are fixed to the derrick 1.
- a first pivotal arm 36 extends approximately horizontally between a first pivot joint on the guide 30 and a second pivot joint 40 at its opposite end portion.
- a second pivotal arm 42 extends approximately horizontally from the second pivot joint 40 and is provided, at its opposite end portion, with an elevation guide 16 for a tool holder 20.
- the tool holder 20 is provided with a cleaning and lubricating tool.
- a camera 26 is connected to the elevation guide 16.
- the first pivot joint 36, the second pivot joint 38 and the elevation guide 16 are remote-controllable by means of electric or hydraulic actuators, not shown.
- the cleaning and lubricating tool 24 may be positioned at a desired threaded portion 24 to clean and lubricate the threaded portion 24.
