Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of continuous tubular drilling rig technology, and more specifically to an injection head displacement system and method for underwater operations. Background Technology
[0002] my country is one of the countries in the world with the capability to drill to depths of 10,000 meters on land. As our understanding of the ocean deepens, humanity is moving from land to sea, from shallow to deep waters. Seawater reaching depths of thousands of meters separates the Earth's strata, and offshore drilling platforms are prohibitively expensive and uneconomical for developing new energy sources. Therefore, drilling equipment capable of underwater operations can effectively reduce costs and is receiving increasing attention and research.
[0003] Continuous tubing drilling involves winding drill pipes (continuous tubing) made of special materials around a huge cable car like a steel wire rope, enabling continuous drilling operations without changing the drill pipes.
[0004] The main equipment for coiled tubing drilling is a coiled tubing rig, which is equipped with a power system and coiled tubing wound around a drum. The ends of the coiled tubing are connected to a motor and a drill bit. The coiled tubing is a high-strength, high-toughness pipe material. Drilling fluid drives the downhole motor through the coiled tubing, which in turn rotates the drill bit below the motor to perform drilling. All equipment is mounted on a towable trailer, and the rig is towed by a standard trailer during relocation.
[0005] The biggest advantages of coiled tubing drilling compared to conventional drilling are: it eliminates the need for derricks used for many years, requiring less surface equipment and a smaller footprint; equipment relocation and installation are convenient, quick, and flexible, making it particularly suitable for surface or offshore platform operations with limited conditions, reducing site space and relocation costs; during drilling, no drill pipe connection is required, enabling continuous circulation of drilling fluid, eliminating the conventional tripping of the drill string in rotary drilling, improving drilling speed and safety, and significantly shortening the drilling cycle; coiled tubing drilling is particularly suitable for small-diameter drilling, sidetracking of old wells, and deepening of old wells; because small-diameter wells use less drilling fluid, it reduces pollution to the surrounding environment; the coiled tubing is an integrated drill pipe without joints, which is beneficial for underbalanced pressure drilling; and the installation of cables inside the coiled tubing creates conditions for closed-loop drilling downhole.
[0006] This technology originated in the early 1990s. In 1991, the United States, Canada, France, and other countries successively tested coiled tubing drilling. In recent years, the advent of high-strength, large-diameter coiled tubing, small-diameter positive displacement motors, and diamond drill bits has greatly promoted the development and application of coiled tubing drilling technology. Currently, coiled tubing drilling technology continues to maintain a strong growth momentum worldwide, with the number of wells drilled using coiled tubing increasing year by year.
[0007] Therefore, the combination of coiled tubing drilling rigs and underwater operations has created subsea drilling equipment, which reduces the complexity of subsea drilling operations, reduces the cost-effectiveness ratio, improves operational efficiency, and ensures operational safety and reliability. It is a key piece of equipment for realizing shallow drilling in deep water.
[0008] Conventional drilling uses a traveling system and a hoisting system to lift and lower the drill string, enabling drilling, casing installation, and cementing operations. For coiled tubing drilling, onshore drilling typically uses a crane to lift the injection head. This method makes it difficult to effectively control the lifting and lowering trajectory of the injection head, leading to centering difficulties during coiled tubing drilling. Furthermore, the crane method is unsuitable for offshore drilling. However, if offshore drilling requires casing installation, conventional drilling rigs are still used because coiled tubing rigs lack traveling and hoisting systems. Therefore, this incurs significantly higher construction costs.
[0009] To address the issues of coiled tubing drilling rigs lacking a traversing and hoisting system, resulting in high construction difficulty, high costs, low efficiency, and compromised quality during offshore operations, this paper proposes an injection head relocation system and method for subsea drilling, combining the advantages of coiled tubing drilling with the characteristics of underwater operations, to meet the needs of coiled tubing drilling rigs in achieving the entire drilling process. Summary of the Invention
[0010] To address the problems of existing technologies, this invention provides an injection head relocation system and method for underwater operations. Using only a combination of a pulley block and a hydraulic winch, the overall relocation control of the injection head of a coiled tubing drilling rig can be achieved, ensuring that the coiled tubing is always aligned with the wellhead and guaranteeing high operational efficiency, thereby enabling a complete underwater operation process.
[0011] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

A shifting mechanism is connected between the injection head and the derrick. The shifting mechanism includes a pulley block and a wire rope connected to the injection head for controlling the vertical displacement of the injection head, and a drive mechanism for winding and unwinding the wire rope. The drive mechanism is electrically connected to the control system via a cable.

A second pulley and a third pulley are provided at the middle of the left and right edges of the top of the injection head. A fourth pulley and a fifth pulley are symmetrically provided at the top of the derrick on both sides of the continuous tube. The axes of the second, third, fourth, and fifth pulleys are parallel to the axis of the first pulley. The wire rope is output from the hydraulic winch, passes sequentially around the fifth pulley, the third pulley, the first pulley, the second pulley, and the fourth pulley, and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the derrick away from the hydraulic winch.

[0018]
[0019] The initial position refers to the position where the bottom end of the injection head is flush with the upper surface of the bottom of the derrick under the traction of the wire rope. In formula (1), l z h1 is the length of the wire rope at the initial position, h2 is the vertical height of the derrick, h3 is the vertical distance from the center of the pulley at the top of the derrick to the center of the pulley at the top of the injection head, l1 is the horizontal distance from the center of the pulley at the top of the derrick to the center of the pulley at the top of the injection head, l2 is the horizontal distance from the center of the pulley at the top of the injection head to the center of the pulley at the bottom of the derrick on the same side, and d is the diameter of the pulley groove.

The four vertical wire rope sections are of the same length.
[0025] Preferably, in Mode 2, when the injection head rises to a certain height h, the length of the wire rope changes to 4h, and the control system controls the lifting height of the injection head based on the relationship between the wire rope and the height of the injection head.
[0026] A method of using an injection head shifting system for underwater operations includes the following steps:
