Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of offshore oilfield engineering, and more particularly to an offshore oil well riser recovery support frame and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] During offshore permanent well abandonment operations, during the riser recovery phase, the large size of the riser, mostly 20-36 inches, often prevents normal recovery due to the small through-hole of the workover rig turntable. This causes the operation to stagnate and become difficult, affecting normal operations. In order to recover the riser normally, we can reduce and avoid a large amount of abnormal operation time caused by problems such as the small through-hole of the workover rig turntable, limited lifting space, and high operation risks on the offshore wellhead platform.

[0003] At present, the configuration selection of offshore oil wellhead platform workover rigs is basically 90 tons to 180 tons, and the parameters of the rotary table are mostly ZP175-ZP275, which cannot meet the normal recovery operation of the 30-inch water-resistant conductor.

[0043] Example 3

[0044] A method for using a marine oil well riser recovery support frame is performed according to the following steps:

[0045] Step 1: Installation of support frame

[0046] (1) Place two H-shaped steel main supports and four auxiliary supports in a grid pattern around the riser;

[0047] (2) Align the connection parts of the two lower auxiliary supports and the two H-beam main supports in sequence, and connect the two lower auxiliary supports and the two H-beam main supports with latches and safety pins;

[0048] (3) Align the connection parts of the two upper auxiliary supports and the two H-shaped steel main supports in sequence, and connect the two upper auxiliary supports and the two H-shaped steel main supports with latches and safety pins;

[0049] Step 2: Disassembly of the support frame

[0050] (1) Remove the safety pins of all connecting pins;

[0053] For ease of explanation, spatial relative terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", and "right" are used in the embodiments to illustrate the relationship between one element or feature shown in the figures and another element or feature. It should be understood that, in addition to the orientation shown in the figures, spatial terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figure is inverted, the element described as being "under" other elements or features will be positioned "above" other elements or features. Therefore, the exemplary term "under" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device can be positioned in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used here can be interpreted accordingly.

[0054] Moreover, relational terms such as “first” and “second” are merely used to distinguish one component from another having the same name, but do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these components.

[0055] The present invention has been described in detail above, but the contents described are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be considered to limit the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the patent coverage of the present invention.
