Detailed Implementation
[0024] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0025] This invention provides a wellhead installation device for blowout preventer (BOP) assembly, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the system includes a transfer frame 11, with several traveling devices 12 installed on both sides of the transfer frame 11. A skid 10 is mounted on the transfer frame 11, and a tilting frame 2 is hinged to either end of the skid 10 via a pin. Tilting cylinders 9 are mounted on both sides of the skid 10, with their main shafts connected to the tilting frame 2. The tilting cylinders 9 allow the tilting frame 2 to lie down or stand upright relative to the skid 10. A lifting frame 3 is mounted on the tilting frame 2, with clamping seats 1 and clamps 5 installed. The clamping seats 1 can hold the annular blowout preventer shoulder of the blowout preventer assembly 4 tightly; the clamps 5 can clamp the flange connections of the drilling four-way and the single-gate blowout preventer of the blowout preventer assembly 4. Several transverse moving cylinders 14 are fixedly connected to either side of the skid 10, with their main shafts fixed to the skid 10. The transverse moving cylinders 14 are fixedly connected to the transfer frame 11. The skid can slide on the transfer frame. The bottom of the lifting frame 3 is equipped with several rollers. The tilting frame 2 has grooves that correspond to the rollers, allowing the rollers to rotate within them. Lifting cylinders 8 are fixed to both sides of the lifting frame 3. One end of each lifting cylinder 8 is fixed to the tilting frame 2, and the other end is fixed to the lifting frame 3. The lifting frame 3 moves up and down on the tilting frame 2 by extending and retracting the lifting cylinders 8. Figure 4 As shown, the clamping seat 1 includes a seat body 15, which is connected to the lifting frame 3. An arc-shaped groove is formed at the end of the seat body 15 away from the lifting frame 3, and a filler core I 16 is fitted inside the groove. A valve 18, also arc-shaped, is fitted on the seat body 15, and a filler core II 17 is fitted on the valve 18. When the seat body 15 and the valve 18 are engaged, filler core I 16 and filler core II 17 form a circular filler core. Since different models (pressure and diameter) of blowout preventers have different outer diameters, filler cores I 16 and II 17 of appropriate sizes are selected according to the actual blowout preventer and inserted into the grooves of the seat body 15 and the valve 18, respectively. Rotary hydraulic cylinders 20 are installed on both sides of the seat body 15, and the main shaft of the rotary hydraulic cylinders 20 is connected to the filler core I 16. The extension and retraction of the rotary hydraulic cylinders 20 can rotate the fitted filler core I 16 by a certain angle, thereby driving the entire blowout preventer assembly 4 to rotate. One connection point between the base 15 and the valve 18 is hinged using a fixedly installed pin. A linkage mechanism 21 is also installed at one connection point between the base 15 and the valve 18, with the other end of the linkage 21 hinged to the ear seat of the valve 18. A locking device 19 is installed at the other connection point between the base 15 and the valve 18, with the locking pin in the locking device 19 correspondingly inserted into the pin hole of the valve 18. Figure 5 As shown, the clamp 5 includes a support 22, which is connected to the lifting frame 3. Both sides of the support 22 are hinged with clamps 23 using pins. An adjusting screw 24 is provided between the ends of the two clamps 23 furthest from the support 22. The adjusting screw 24 is hinged to both clamps 23 using pins. The adjusting screw 24 includes two bolt sections; one bolt section connects to one clamp 23, and the other bolt section connects to the other clamp 23. The two bolt sections are connected by a sleeve.Figure 6 As shown, the present invention provides a blowout preventer (BOP) assembly wellhead installation device, which also includes a pressure testing flange 6. The pressure testing flange 6 can be connected to the bottom of the BOP assembly 4 for pressure testing of the BOP assembly 4. The pressure testing flange 6 is a blind flange conforming to API standards, and the blind flange has a blind threaded hole in the middle, similar to that of the drill pipe joint. Figure 7 As shown, the traveling device 12 includes a hydraulic motor 26, which is fixedly connected to the mobile transport frame 11. The main shaft of the hydraulic motor 26 is fixedly connected to a drive wheel 27, and driven wheels 28 mesh on both sides of the drive wheel 27. Pulleys are fixedly connected to the driven wheels 28, which are mounted on the mobile transport frame 11. Two transport guide rails 7 are provided below the mobile transport frame 11, and these two rails are opposite to the pulleys on both sides of the mobile transport frame 11. The transport guide rails 7 are supported on the connecting beam of the base, with some sections supported by outriggers on the ground. The two guide rails are distributed on both sides of the center of the wellhead, avoiding circular (or square) wells. The transport frame 11 and the traveling device 12 are connected by pins. Two sets of traveling devices are installed on each side of the transport frame. The transport trolley composed of the transport frame 11 and the traveling device 12 moves longitudinally on the transport guide rails. The present invention provides a blowout preventer assembly wellhead installation device, which further includes a hydraulic control box 13. The hydraulic control box 13 is connected to a lifting cylinder 8, a tilting cylinder 9, a hydraulic control box 13, a lateral moving cylinder 14, a rotating cylinder 20, and a hydraulic motor 16, and is used to control the operation of the entire hydraulic equipment.
[0026] like Figure 8 As shown, the working process of the blowout preventer assembly wellhead installation device of the present invention is as follows: two transport guide rails 7 are arranged on both sides of the center of the wellhead. The traveling device 12 in the entire transport unit slides along the guide rails. When the entire device is in a horizontal position, the test drill pipe passes through the end of the blowout preventer assembly, and the drill pipe is connected and fixed to the test flange 6 installed at the bottom of the blowout preventer through the bolt hole, and the blowout preventer clamps the drill pipe.
[0027] The tilting cylinder 9 extends, causing the tilting frame 2 to stand upright. The entire device is located outside the wellhead. High-pressure clean water is injected into the blowout preventer assembly 4 using a pressure testing device to complete the blowout preventer assembly pressure test. After the pressure test is completed, the pressure is released, the test drill pipe is pulled out, the test flange 6 is removed, and the clamp 5 is loosened.
[0028] The traveling device 12 moves the entire system to the center of the wellhead. The lifting cylinder 8 lowers the lifting frame 3 and the blowout preventer assembly 4, bringing them closer to the casing head flange. Through the lateral adjustment of the transverse cylinder 14 and the longitudinal adjustment of the traveling device 12, the centers of the blowout preventer connecting flange and the casing head flange are aligned. By rotating the cylinder 20, the blowout preventer assembly 4 is rotated by a certain angle to align the flange connection holes. The connecting bolts of the blowout preventer flange and the casing flange are then manually tightened.
[0029] Locking device 19 loosens the hinged end of the base 15 and valve 18, and linkage mechanism 21 opens valve 18. Traveling device 12 drives the entire device away from the wellhead and to the outside of the base. Tilting cylinder 9 retracts, driving tilting frame 2 and its device to lie down.
[0030] When casing is to be installed or well drilling is completed, and the blowout preventer (BOP) needs to be removed, the tilting cylinder 9 extends, causing the tilting frame 2 to stand upright. The traveling device 12 moves the entire assembly longitudinally to the center of the wellhead. The linkage mechanism 21 opens the valve 18, the clamping seat 1 grips the BOP, the linkage mechanism 21 closes the valve 18, and the locking device 19 locks the valve and the seat. The connecting flange between the BOP and the casing head is removed, and the BOP is moved away from the casing flange by adjusting the lifting cylinder 8. The traveling device 12 moves the entire assembly away from the wellhead. Excluding the transport guide rail 7, the other structures function as a complete transport unit, achieving overall transportation.
[0031] This invention provides a wellhead installation device for blowout preventer (BOP) assemblies, solving the problems of difficult installation and pressure testing, high labor intensity, low work efficiency, and poor safety in existing technologies. It also facilitates the overall transportation of BOP assemblies. The BOP is no longer installed piece by piece or disassembled, but pre-installed as a whole on an integrated device, simplifying the installation process. During wellhead installation, the hydraulic operating system allows the BOP assembly to be flipped, moved longitudinally, slid laterally, lifted, and rotated, achieving alignment between the BOP assembly flange and the casing head flange. The entire process is automated, reducing installation difficulty and safety risks. Using this wellhead installation device, the drilling rig eliminates the need for conventional BOP lifting and transport frames, and the base no longer requires BOP moving guide rails, resulting in higher space utilization and facilitating the arrangement of wellhead mud return pipes, etc.
