Abstract

A tool joint assist system includes one or more iron roughnecks for making up or breaking out tubular joints; a programmable logic controller for each of the one or more iron roughnecks; at least onecamera associated with each of the one or more iron roughnecks; a computer that calculates a stick-up height; and one or more user-input devices. Each programmable logic controller controls only one iron roughneck. The computer includes a processor, a memory, and one or more monitors displaying an image from the at least one camera. The programmable logic controllers, the cameras, the monitors, the user-input devices, and the computer are connected by a network.

Description

Background technique [0001] This document is based upon and claims priority from US Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 349297, filed June 13, 2016, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. [0002] Drilling wells are used in the oil and gas industry to explore subterranean formations and to produce hydrocarbon liquids and hydrocarbon gases. Drilling may include make-up or assembly of tubulars, and / or breakout or disassembly. Make-up and breakout of tubulars may be done on the rig floor above the well and may be part of tripping in and tripping out. Additionally, tubular operations may include, for example, making-up or breaking-out of a drillpipe stand over a rat hole to expedite drilling operations. A drill pipe stand is two or three individual pieces or segments of drill pipe or drill collar that remain threaded together during tripping operations. Assembly and disassembly of pipe fittings can be performed by iron drillers under the control of the ope...
