Definitions

  • Risers are vital to drilling and extracting oil and other materials from below the earth ' s surface.
  • a riser is basically a tube that connects a well head to a control station where extraction, and, frequently, drilling operations are controlled.
  • a riser connects the wellhead at the bottom of the body of water to a platform suspended at the water's surface.
  • the riser protects the drill string that extends from the platform and through the wellhead, by encasing the drill string between the platform and wellhead.
  • the riser also provides a conduit for drilling-mud to flow from the platform to the wellhead, and thus into the well.
  • Drilling-mud helps control the pressure inside the well that would otherwise substantially drop because of the hole drilled into the earth.
  • the riser also provides a conduit for the oil, natural gas, and/or other materials to flow from the wellhead to the platform where the oil, natural gas and/or other materials can be secured for subsequent use.
  • Most risers include a main line and one or more auxiliary lines.
  • the main line encases the drill string as it extends from the platform to the wellhead, and contains the driiSing-mud and/or oil and/or other materials as they flow to and from the wellhead and the control station.
  • the one or more auxiliary lines are typically located adjacent and outside of the main tube, and encase control lines that extend from the platform to the wellhead.
  • the control lines may be hydraulic lines, electrical and/or pneumatic tines that connect systems at the wellhead, such as a blowout preventer (BOP) that can cap the well in an emergency.

  • FIG. 1 shows a portion 10 of a riser that includes five riser sections 12 coupled end-to-end.
  • Each section 12 includes two main tubes 14 coupled end to end, and two flanges 16, each coupled to a respective one of the main tubes 14.
  • Each of the flanges 16 are designed to be mounted to a flange of another section 12 by bolts to form the portion 10 of the riser.
  • riser sections 12 are typically formed by welding two or more of the main tubes 14 (which are typically about 30 feet long each) together, end to end, and then welding the flanges 16 to the remaining two ends of the section 12.
  • the riser tubes 14 are made of a metal, such as aluminum, whose crystalline structure and/or aSioy distribution is altered by the heat generated from the welding process, then welding such tubes can generate a heat affected zone (an example is shown in FiG. 3) that includes the altered crystalline structure and/or altered a!ioy distribution.
  • Such heat affected zones include the weld region and the region immediately adjacent the weld region, and are less resistant to damage from bumps and/or abrasion, which often occurs when the drill string rotates within the riser. Heat affected zones are also less resistant to surface corrosion than the main tube's materia! outside the heat affected zone.

  • the drill string does not bump and/or abrade the inside surface of the riser section's material whose microstructure has been altered by heat generated from welding the first riser tube to the second riser tube, which helps prevent damage to the riser section.
  • a riser tube for welding to another riser tube to form a riser section of a drilling riser includes a body having a longitudinal axis and a region for welding the riser tube to the other riser tube to form the riser section, and an interior surface disposed adjacent the region for welding the riser tube to the other riser tube.
  • the inter surface includes a first interior region that is disposed a first distance away from the longitudinal axis, and extends from the welding region in a direction along the longitudinal axis to cover material of the riser tube whose microstructure would be altered by heat generated from welding the other riser tube to the welding region.
  • the interior surface also includes a second interior region disposed a second distance away from the longitudinal axis and adjacent the first interior region such that the first interior region lies between the welding region and the second interior region, wherein the first and second distances are distances from the longitudinal axis in a direction perpendicular to the
