TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of well control equipment for oil and gas production, in particular to a ram assembly performance test system of a ram preventer. BACKGROUND

[0002] In drilling and testing operations, well control systems are the key equipment for timely discovery and control of overflow, prevention of blowout, avoidance of waste of oil and gas resources, and protection of equipment and personnel safety. As one of the most critical well control equipment in emergency situations, the role of the ram preventer is to cut off the operating string and achieve well sealing to ensure the safety of surface equipment and personnel. For example, the "Deepwater Horizon" accident eventually led to the most serious blowout and oil spill accident in history due to the sealing failure of the ram assembly. Therefore, it is of great engineering significance to carry out ram assembly performance testing to test the sealing performance of semi-sealing rams and full-sealing rams, the shear and sealing performance of the ram assembly, and evaluate the shearability of drill pipes, in order to reduce the risk of blowout accidents.

[0003] Currently, there are test systems that can be applied to the performance testing of the ram assembly of the ram preventer, but they still have many problems in terms of function, efficiency, etc., mainly including the following aspects:

[0004] (1) The existing ram preventer ram assembly performance test system has low integration, few detection items, and limited data obtained from one test. Multiple tests are required for drill pipes of the same size to obtain more comprehensive data, resulting in resource waste and a long test process.

[0005] (2) The existing ram preventer ram assembly performance test system rarely shears drill pipes under simulated actual working conditions, does not shear drill pipes under conditions with high pressure inside the drill pipes when well kick or blowout occurs, and does not test the sealing performance of the ram assembly under pressure after the ram assembly is closed to seal the well.

[0006] (3) The existing ram preventer ram assembly performance test system has poor adaptability and cannot realize the combination of different types of ram assemblies and different sizes of drill pipes.

[0007] In order to effectively test the sealing performance of semi-sealing rams and full-sealing rams, the shear and sealing performance of the ram assembly, and evaluate the shearability of drill pipes, it is urgent to invent a ram preventer ram assembly performance test system that can be installed for different manufacturers, different models, different structures, and different specifications to realize comprehensive, accurate, efficient, and intelligent testing and evaluation of the working performance of the ram preventer ram assembly. SUMMARY

This simulates the gate closure scenario of the gate blowout preventer under certain actual working conditions, providing a theoretical basis for the development of gate assemblies and drill pipes.

[0019] The gate assembly includes any one of a fully enclosed gate assembly, a semi-enclosed gate assembly, and a shear gate assembly.

[0020] The steps are as follows:

[0021] When it is necessary to test the shear performance or sealing performance of a certain gate assembly (2-6);

[0022] Option A: When selecting the gate assembly (2-6) as the shear gate assembly;

[0023] A-S1: Select the drill rod of the corresponding size (7-1), measure the corresponding dimensional parameters of the shear gate assembly, and require that when the two shear gates are closed, the two movable clamping tables (2-3) at the bottom of them can also be closed. Then, according to the size of the shear gate, make two pads (2-4) and two tooling fixtures (2-5) of the corresponding size.

[0024] A-S2: The worker operates the remote control (4-5) to remotely control the automatic suspension module (4) to hoist the shear gate, pad (2-4) and tooling fixture (2-5) to the test bench module (1). The pad (2-4), shear gate and tooling fixture (2-5) are installed on the movable clamping platform (2-3) in sequence and connected and fixed with bolt III (2-5-1). Then the remote control automatic suspension module (4) returns to its original position.

[0025] A-S3: First, install the corresponding size drill rod male plug (7-3) on the male end of the drill rod (7-1). Then, the worker ties the drill rod (7-1) specimen to the steel cable hook (4-4). The worker operates the remote control (4-5) to remotely control the automatic suspension module (4) to lift the drill rod (7-1) specimen from the ground to the top of the simple gate blowout preventer module (2). Then, the worker operates the remote control (4-5) to lower the drill rod (7-1) specimen into the simple gate blowout preventer module (2). At the same time, another worker rotates the two cranks (3-4) to clamp the end of the drill rod (7-1) specimen at the diameter change and connect the drill rod female plug (7-4) to the female end of the drill rod (7-1). Then, remove the steel cable hook (4-4) and return the automatic suspension module (4) to its original position.

Then turn on the main power switch (8-8) and turn on the hydraulic pump III switch (8-7) to pressurize the drill rod (7-1) (simulating the internal pressure of the drill rod during a blowout). After pressurizing to the set value, maintain the pressure. Then turn on the hydraulic pump II switch (8-6) to push the piston rod (2-2-3) so that the two shear gates start to move towards each other to shear the drill rod (7-1) until the drill rod (7-1) is completely sheared. Then turn off the hydraulic pump II (5-2) and hydraulic pump III (5-3) in time. Loosen the flexible clamp (3-3) and the automatic suspension module (4) will move the upper part of the sheared drill rod (7-1) to an open area for subsequent fracture analysis.

The pad (2-4), fully enclosed gate and tooling fixture (2-5) are installed on the movable clamping platform (2-3) in sequence and connected and fixed with bolt III (2-5-1). Then the remote control automatic suspension module (4) returns to its original position.

Then turn off the hydraulic pump I switch (8-5) and turn on the hydraulic pump II switch (8-6) to open the full-sealing gate. At this point, one test procedure is completed.

[0033] Option C: When selecting the gate assembly (2-6) as a semi-sealed gate assembly;

[0034] C-S1: Select the drill rod of the corresponding size (7-1), measure the corresponding dimensional parameters of the semi-sealed gate assembly, and require that when the two shear gates are closed, the two movable clamping tables (2-3) at the bottom of them can also be closed. Then, according to the size of the shear gate, make two pads (2-4) and two tooling fixtures (2-5) of the corresponding size.

[0035] C-S2: The worker operates the remote control (4-5) to remotely control the automatic suspension module (4) to hoist the semi-enclosed gate, pad (2-4) and tooling fixture (2-5) onto the test bench module (1).

Then turn on the main power switch (8-8) and turn on the hydraulic pump III switch (8-7) to pressurize the drill pipe (7-1) (simulating the internal pressure of the drill pipe during a blowout). After pressurizing to the set value, maintain the pressure. Then turn on the hydraulic pump II switch (8-6) to push the piston rod (2-2-3), which will cause the two semi-sealing gates to move towards each other and surround the drill pipe (7-1) until they completely surround the drill pipe (7-1). Then turn off the hydraulic pump II (5-2) and hydraulic pump III (5-3) in time.

[0038] C-S5: Turn on the hydraulic pump I switch (8-5) to pressurize the inside of the casing (2-1-1) to the set pressure value and maintain the pressure for a certain period of time to check the sealing performance after the semi-sealed gate plate surrounds the drill rod (7-1).

Then turn off the hydraulic pump I switch (8-5) and turn on the hydraulic pump II switch (8-6) to separate the semi-sealed gate plate. The worker operates the remote control (4-5) to remotely control the automatic suspension module (4) to move the drill rod (7-1) specimen. At this point, a test process is completed.

[0039] Throughout the test, the data acquisition module (6) will acquire images, pressure and time signals and transmit them to the control interaction display module (8) and display them on the corresponding instruments. Different models of gate assemblies (2-6) from different companies and different sizes of drill rods (7-1) can be replaced as needed to verify the shearing performance of different gate assemblies (2-6) on different drill rods and the sealing performance after the gate assembly is closed.

[0052] The workflow of this invention is as follows:

[0053] When the gate assembly is selected as a shear gate assembly;

[0054] First, select drill pipes of the corresponding size and measure the corresponding dimensional parameters of the shear gate assembly. It is required that when the two shear gates are closed, the two corresponding movable clamping platforms at their bottoms can also close. Then, based on the dimensions of the shear gates, fabricate two pads and two tooling fixtures of the corresponding dimensions. Next, a worker operates a remote control to remotely control the automatic suspension module to hoist the shear gates, pads, and tooling fixtures onto the test bench module. The pads, shear gates, and tooling fixtures are then sequentially installed onto the movable clamping platforms and secured with bolts III. The automatic suspension module is then returned to its original position. Next, install the corresponding dimensional drill pipe male thread plug onto the male thread end of the drill pipe. The worker then binds the drill pipe specimen to the steel cable hook. Using the remote control, the worker uses the automatic suspension module to hoist the drill pipe specimen from the ground to above the simple gate blowout preventer module. Then, using the remote control, the drill pipe specimen is lowered into the simple gate blowout preventer module. Simultaneously, another worker rotates two cranks to clamp the end of the drill pipe specimen at the diameter reduction point and connects the drill pipe female thread plug to the female thread end of the drill pipe. Finally, the steel cable is removed. The hook is then pulled back to its original position, and the automatic suspension module is returned to its original position. Next, each module is checked for safety hazards and any issues are addressed promptly. Then, the main power switch is turned on, and the hydraulic pump III switch is turned on to pressurize the drill pipe (simulating the pressure inside the drill pipe during a blowout). After pressurizing to the set value, the pressure is maintained. Then, the hydraulic pump II switch is turned on to push the piston rod, causing the two shearing gates to move towards each other and shear the drill pipe until it is completely cut. The hydraulic pumps II and III are then turned off promptly. The flexible clamp is loosened, and the automatic suspension module transports the upper half of the drill pipe to an open area for subsequent fracture analysis. Finally, the hydraulic pump I switch is turned on to pressurize the casing to the set pressure value and maintain the pressure for a certain time to check the sealing performance of the shearing gates after shearing the drill pipe. A miniature camera monitors and records the images, which are then transmitted to a data display screen to show the observation process. The hydraulic pump I switch is then turned off, and the hydraulic pump II switch is turned on to separate the shearing gates. The double-headed bolts and nuts are loosened, and the cover plate is opened to remove the lower half of the cut drill pipe specimen. This completes one test procedure.

[0055] When selecting the gate assembly as a fully enclosed gate assembly;

[0056] First, measure the corresponding dimensional parameters of the fully enclosed gate assembly, ensuring that the two movable clamping platforms at its bottom can also close when both gates are closed. Then, fabricate two pads and two tooling fixtures of corresponding dimensions based on the gate dimensions. Next, a worker operates a remote control to remotely control the automatic suspension module to hoist the gates, pads, and tooling fixtures onto the test bench module. The pads, gates, and tooling fixtures are then sequentially installed onto the movable clamping platforms and secured with bolts III. The automatic suspension module is then remotely controlled to return to its original position. Finally, check each module for any issues. All potential hazards were identified and eliminated promptly. Then, the main power switch was turned on, and the hydraulic pump II switch was turned on to push the piston rod, causing the two fully sealed gates to move towards each other and close until they were completely closed. After that, the hydraulic pump II was turned off in time. Finally, the hydraulic pump I switch was turned on to pressurize the inside of the bushing to the set pressure value and maintain the pressure for a certain period of time to check the sealing performance of the fully sealed gates after they were closed. The miniature camera monitored and recorded the images and transmitted them to the data display screen to show the observation process. Then, the hydraulic pump I switch was turned off and the hydraulic pump II switch was turned on to separate the fully sealed gates. At this point, one test procedure was completed.

[0057] When the gate assembly is selected as a semi-enclosed gate assembly;

[0058] First, select drill pipes of the corresponding size and measure the corresponding dimensional parameters of the semi-sealed gate assembly. It is required that when the two shear gates are closed, the two corresponding movable clamping platforms at their bottoms can also close. Then, based on the dimensions of the shear gates, fabricate two pads and two tooling fixtures of the corresponding dimensions. Next, a worker operates a remote control to remotely control the automatic suspension module to hoist the semi-sealed gates, pads, and tooling fixtures onto the test bench module. The pads, semi-sealed gates, and tooling fixtures are then installed sequentially onto the movable clamping platforms and secured with bolts III. The automatic suspension module is then returned to its original position. Next, install the corresponding dimensional drill pipe male thread plug onto the male thread end of the drill pipe. The worker then binds the drill pipe specimen to the steel cable hook. Using the remote control, the worker operates the automatic suspension module to hoist the drill pipe specimen from the ground to above the simple gate blowout preventer module. Then, using the remote control, the drill pipe specimen is lowered into the simple gate blowout preventer module. Simultaneously, another worker rotates two cranks to clamp the end diameter reduction section of the drill pipe specimen. Connect the drill pipe end cap to the drill pipe end cap, then remove the steel cable hook and return the automatic suspension module to its original position. Next, check each module for safety hazards and eliminate them promptly. Then, turn on the main power switch and turn on the hydraulic pump III switch to pressurize the drill pipe (simulating the pressure inside the drill pipe during a blowout). After pressurizing to the set value, maintain the pressure. Then, turn on the hydraulic pump II switch to push the piston rod, causing the two semi-sealing gates to move towards each other and encircle the drill pipe until they completely encircle it. Then, promptly turn off hydraulic pumps II and III. Finally, turn on the hydraulic pump I switch to pressurize the casing to the set pressure value and maintain the pressure for a certain time to check the sealing performance after the semi-sealing gates have encircled the drill pipe. A miniature camera monitors and records the images, transmitting them to the data display screen to show the observation process. Then, turn off the hydraulic pump I switch and turn on the hydraulic pump II switch to separate the semi-sealing gates. The worker operates the remote control to move the drill pipe specimen using the automatic suspension module. This completes one test procedure.

[0059] Throughout the test, the data acquisition module collects images, pressure, and time signals, which are transmitted to the data control and interactive display module and displayed on the corresponding instruments. Different models of gate assemblies from different companies and different sizes of drill pipes can be replaced as needed to verify the shearing performance of different gate assemblies on different drill pipes and the sealing performance after the gate assembly is closed.
