Abstract

The present invention relates to a rotary blowout preventer, and in particular to a rotary blowout preventer for use with a top drive, which is used to solve the problem that the existing rotary blowout preventer cannot achieve wellhead rotary sealing because the round drill pipe cannot transmit power through a square clamp during top drive operation. The rotary blowout preventer for use with a top drive clamps the round drill pipe through a pneumatic or hydraulic rotary chuck to transmit a rotational torque, and transmits the rotational torque to a rotating body of the rotary blowout preventer, driving the rubber sleeve to rotate synchronously with drilling; there is no relative movement between the rubber sleeve and the round drill pipe, which not only achieves the wellhead rotary sealing during the top drive rotary cycle operation, but also avoids the wear of the inner hole of the rubber sleeve due to the relative movement between the round drill pipe and the rubber sleeve, thereby preventing the loss of sealing function.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a rotary blowout preventer, in particular to a rotary blowout preventer while drilling for use with a top drive. Background Art

[0002] Rotary BOP is a key device for wellhead pressure control in drilling and well repair operations. Its main function is to ensure the sealing of the wellhead and prevent the fluid from blowing out of the well while allowing the drill pipe to rotate during the drilling process. With the development of drilling technology, the application demand of rotary blowout preventer in various complex working conditions is increasing, especially in pressure drilling and overhaul operations, its importance is more prominent.

[0003] At present, rotary blowout preventers are mainly divided into two types: self-sealing and active. The self-sealing rotary blowout preventer is equipped with a sealing sleeve, the center hole diameter of which is usually smaller than the outer diameter of the drill pipe; when the drill pipe passes through the sealing sleeve, the sealing sleeve will automatically hug the drill pipe to achieve a sealing effect; the design of the self-sealing rotary blowout preventer allows the seal to be maintained without additional external force during the rotation process, which is suitable for traditional drilling operations. The active rotary blowout preventer is different. The center hole diameter of its sealing sleeve is larger than the outer diameter of the drill pipe. When sealing is required, the compressed sealing sleeve is pushed upward by the annular piston at the bottom, causing the sealing sleeve to deform, thereby reducing its inner hole and sealing the drill pipe; active rotary blowout preventers are usually suitable for more complex operating environments and can better cope with harsh conditions such as high pressure and high temperature.

[0004] However, in actual operation, especially in the rotary operation using top drive, the traditional rotary BOP faces challenges. Round drill pipe is often used in top drive operation, while the existing rotary BOP is usually used for square drill pipe operation, relying on a transition square clip to transmit the rotary power to the rotating body in the BOP, so that the sealing rubber sleeve and the drill pipe rotate synchronously. But for round drill pipe, since the transition square clip cannot be used to transmit the rotary power, the existing rotary BOP cannot meet the demand for wellhead rotary sealing.

[0005] To solve this problem, a new follow-up rotary chuck and air and oil guide rotary device are needed to be used in conjunction with the corresponding rotary blowout preventer to ensure that the sealing rubber sleeve and the round drill pipe can rotate synchronously to avoid relative movement, thereby realizing the wellhead sealing function in top drive operations. This design can effectively meet the requirements of pressurized rotary operations and improve operation safety and efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0057] The working principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0058] Step 1: Before use, install the pneumatic or hydraulic rotary drilling chuck 1, the oil and gas guiding rotor 2 and the rotary blowout preventer 3 respectively, and connect the rotary blowout preventer 3 to the wellhead;

[0059] Step 2: When in use, supply gas or liquid to the first gas and liquid inlet 231, and the gas or liquid enters the rodless cavity of the cylinder or liquid cylinder assembly 14 through the second radial gas-liquid hole 271, the first radial channel 213, the first axial channel 214, the third channel 123 and the first channel 144 in turn, and drives the piston rod to extend, pushing the slip body 15 and the slip 16 thereon to move inward and hold the round drill pipe tightly; during the rotary cycle operation, the top drive drives the round drill pipe to rotate, and the round drill pipe drives the pneumatic or hydraulic rotary drilling chuck 1 and the rotary body assembly 32 in the rotary blowout preventer 3 to rotate in turn; since the rotary body assembly 32 is rotationally connected to the blowout preventer housing 31 of the rotary blowout preventer 3, and dynamic sealing is achieved through the second sealing member 33, wellhead rotary sealing can be achieved to meet the rotary sealing operation requirements;

[0060] Step 3: After the rotation cycle operation is completed, gas or liquid is supplied to the second air and liquid inlet 232, and the gas or liquid passes through the second radial gas-liquid hole 271, the second radial channel 215, the second axial channel 216, the fourth channel 124 and the second channel 145 below in sequence, driving the piston rod to retract, driving the slip body 15 and the slip 16 thereon to move outward and loosen the round drill rod.

[0061] Since the slip teeth are specially designed (the clamping is radially limited and does not affect the axial movement of the round drill pipe in the clamping state), when the slip teeth clamp the round drill pipe and drive the pneumatic or hydraulic rotary drilling chuck 1 to rotate with drilling, it does not affect the up and down movement of the round drill pipe in the clamping state.
