Benefits of technology
The patent text describes a way to make it safer and more convenient to lift and transport pipes by using a stabilizing device that is attached to a piece of pipe. This device has a larger inner diameter than the pipe, which makes it easier for users to grip and connect pipes without having to hold them by their bottom edge. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a safer and more efficient way to transport pipes.
Problems solved by technology
Frequently these smaller pipe sections have very fine thread for attaching the section which are very sharp and hand installation can take as long as 45 minutes or result in stripped threads and damage to the installer's hands during the installation operation.
Since these pieces can be installed quite frequently in a deep well where long sections are around 43 feet, long connection times, as well as costly mistakes installing the smaller pieces, is not only expensive but can add hours to the drilling process.
Even further improperly installed smaller pieces can lead to leaks or drilling pipe failure.
If a worker's hands are hurt by holding the pipe section by the bottom edge, they can be out for an extended time leading to a drilling shut down if no replacement personnel are available.
Larger machinery for installing longer pieces of pipeline is not practical for small pieces and does not aid in the method used to install smaller pieces.
It is clear that a means for improving the time to install small pieces, make installations more accurate, and provide protection for worker's hands would be extremely useful in the more than 2,000 wells being drilled, but currently there is no device or method that solves any of these problems, let alone solves all of them at the same time.
