Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a safe production technology for an oilfield workover rig, in particular to an active safety protection device for tripping and running a pipe string of the workover rig. Background Art

[0002] A workover rig is one of the most important pieces of equipment in underground operations. When operating a workover rig to lift a tubing string, the overhanging weight of the tubing string can rise abnormally due to well conditions. Failure to detect this in time can lead to tubing jamming, severe equipment damage, or even casualties.

[0003] When running the tubing string, especially when running large-diameter tools, the annulus between the casing and the tool is small. If the casing is deformed or scaled and waxed, the tubing string may not be detected in time and may become blocked or stuck, resulting in serious engineering accidents. To date, no similar patented technology has been found.

[0004] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop an active safety protection device for lifting and lowering the tubing string of a workover rig, which can perform active safety protection when there is an abnormality in the lifting and lowering of the tubing string, prevent the accident from becoming complicated, and achieve intrinsic safety. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an active safety protection device for lifting and lowering the tubing of a well repair rig using active safety protection technology when the tubing hanging weight is abnormal. The device overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art. The purpose of the present invention is achieved as follows: the device includes a pressure sensor, an A / D sampling chip, a main chip, a keyboard, an LED display, and a safety module. The pressure sensor is connected to the A / D sampling chip, the A / D sampling chip is connected to the main chip, and the keyboard, LED display, and safety module are connected to the main chip.

[0006] The safety module includes: emergency brake device, engine throttle disconnect device, roller clutch disconnect device, and sound and light alarm.

[0007] The application method of the active protection device for safe tripping of pipe string includes the following steps: Step 1: Set the pipe string warning value Fq1 to 20Kn and the pipe string critical protection value Fq2 to 30Kn.

[0008] Set the numerical duration Tq1=2s, and set the numerical duration Tq2=1s.

[0009] The calculation formula of the fluctuation value Fq is: Fq (Kn) = current hanging weight of the string - actual hanging weight of the string.

[0010] Step 2: Set the lower string warning value Fx1 to 20Kn, set the upper string critical protection value Fx2 to 30Kn, set the value duration Tx1 to 3s, and set the value duration Tx2 to 2s.

[0011] Step 3: Set the duration T1 to 5s.

[0012] The calculation formula of the fluctuation value Fx is: Fx (Kn) = actual hanging weight of the string - current hanging weight of the string.

[0013] If Fq≤Fq1 and the duration is less than Tq1, the safety module has no output state. The hanging weight of the string is within the normal floating range.

[0014] If Fq≤Fq1 and the holding time is ≥Tq1 and the duration is <T1, the safety module output state is an audible and visual alarm, reminding personnel to pay attention to the abnormal hanging weight of the pipe string and slow down the construction.

[0015] If Fq≤Fq1 and the duration is ≥T1, the safety module outputs an emergency brake state, disconnecting the engine throttle and the drum clutch, and sounding an audible and visual alarm. Active safety protection is implemented when the string hanging weight is abnormal to prevent safety accidents.

[0016] If Fq1<Fq≤Fq2 and the duration ≤Tq2, the hanging weight of the string is within the normal floating range.

[0017] If Fq1<Fq<Fq2 and the duration ≤Tq1, the safety module outputs an audible and visual alarm to remind personnel to pay attention to the abnormal hanging weight of the pipe string and to slow down construction.

[0018] If Fq ≥ Fq2 and the duration ≥ Tq2, the safety module outputs an emergency brake state, disconnects the engine throttle and the drum clutch, and sounds an audible and visual alarm. Active safety protection is implemented to prevent accidents caused by abnormal hanging weight of the pipe string.

[0019] If Fx≤Fx1 and the duration is less than Tx1, the safety module has no output state. The hanging weight of the string is within the normal floating range.

[0020] If Fx1≤Fx1 and Tx1≤duration<T1, the safety module outputs an audible and visual alarm to remind personnel to pay attention to the abnormal hanging weight of the pipe string and to slow down construction.

[0021] If Fx≤Fx1 and the duration is ≥T1, the safety module outputs an emergency brake state, disconnecting the engine throttle and the drum clutch, and sounding an audible and visual alarm. Active safety protection is implemented when the string hanging weight is abnormal to prevent safety accidents.

[0022] If Fx1<Fx≤Fx2 and the duration ≤Tx2, the hanging weight of the string is within the normal floating range.

[0023] If Fx1<Fx<Fx2 and the duration ≤Tx1, the safety module outputs an audible and visual alarm to remind personnel to pay attention to the abnormal hanging weight of the pipe string and to slow down construction.

[0024] If Fx ≥ Fx2 and the duration ≥ Tx2, the safety module outputs an emergency brake state, disconnecting the engine throttle and the drum clutch, and sounding an audible and visual alarm. Active safety protection is implemented to prevent accidents caused by abnormal hanging weight of the pipe string.

[0025] The present invention can monitor the hanging weight of the pipe column in real time during the construction process, and take active safety protection and alarm when the hanging weight is abnormal, so as to achieve intrinsic safety, improve production efficiency and prevent accidents.
