Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of automated well repairing in oil production engineering of the petroleum industry, and in particular relates to a stack-type multi-tube automatic running device and a control method. Background Art

[0002] During the oil and gas well repair operation, after the pipe string is taken out of the well, it needs to be repaired and replaced and then lowered back into the well. At present, whether it is a minor repair operation or a pressure operation, most of the operations in the industry use a single pipe string lowering method with an operating machine, and most of the operations are done manually: a single pipe string is transferred from the pipe rack to the wellhead through a lifting tool, manually aligned and lowered into the well after the make-up operation is completed, and after it is completely lowered, a lifting card is used to sit on the wellhead, and then the second pipe string is transferred to the wellhead and repeated. There are two problems with this method. One is that the efficiency of single pipe operation is low, and the other is that each process is manually operated, which is labor-intensive and has safety hazards. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention proposes: an automatic stacking multi-tube lowering device, including an automated main engine, a lifting manipulator, a luffing arm, a length measuring device, a control system and an automatic make-up and breakout device. The automated main engine is set up around the wellhead, and the lifting manipulator, the luffing arm, the length measuring device and the automatic make-up and breakout device are all connected to the control system.

[0004] Furthermore, the lifting manipulator includes a second manipulator, a lifting mechanism, and a horizontal rotation drive mechanism. The second manipulator is arranged on the lifting mechanism, the bottom end of the lifting mechanism is arranged on the base platform, and the top end of the lifting mechanism is arranged with a horizontal rotation drive mechanism.

[0005] Furthermore, the luffing arm includes a clamping manipulator and a displacement device, and one end of the clamping manipulator is arranged on the base platform through the displacement device.

[0006] Furthermore, when the luffing arm is in a horizontal position, the pipe string is placed horizontally on the luffing arm, and the length measuring device measures the length of the pipe string online in real time through a pressure sensor and a position sensor, and transmits the pipe string length data to the control system through a CAN bus.

[0007] Furthermore, the control system is a PLC program control system, including a data temporary storage library, an automatic running program, automatically reading data in the data temporary storage library, and automatically eliminating expired data after the data is used.

[0008] A control method based on a stacked multi-pipe automatic running device, wherein an automated main engine is supported around a wellhead, a lifting manipulator is relatively fixedly connected to the automated main engine, and a luffing arm and the lifting manipulator realize pipe string handover through a mechanical clamping mechanism, that is, after the luffing arm transforms the pipe string from a horizontal state to a vertical state, the clamping mechanism of the lifting manipulator clamps the pipe string, and the clamping mechanism of the luffing arm releases the pipe string, thereby completing the pipe string handover.

[0009] Furthermore, when the luffing arm is in a horizontal position, the pipe string is placed horizontally on the luffing arm, and the length measuring device measures the length of the pipe string online in real time through pressure and position sensors, and transmits the pipe string length data to the control system through the CAN bus. A data temporary storage library is set in the control system. After the data temporary storage library receives the length data of the first pipe string, the data is stored in the first position. The data in the first position is the current valid data for lowering the pipe. The data is transmitted to the automatic pipe lowering operation program through the CAN bus, and the automatic pipe lowering operation of the first pipe string is completed through electro-hydraulic control. After the automatic pipe lowering operation of the first pipe string is completed, the control system sends a The data clearing command of the first tubular string clears the length data of the first tubular string; during the lowering of the first tubular string, the length measuring device measures the length data of the second tubular string and transmits it to the data temporary storage library, which is arranged in the second position. Once the data of the first tubular string is cleared, the data in the second position will be pushed to the first position. Similarly, the data in the third position will be pushed to the second position. After the data in the second position is pushed to the first position, the length data of the second tubular string has been transmitted to the automatic tubular string lowering program. Under the control of the automatic tubular string lowering program, the second tubular string and the third tubular string waiting for the lowered tubular string can carry out the continuous tubular string lowering operation.

[0010] Furthermore, the length of the first pipe string is measured by the online length measuring device, and the data is stored in the data temporary storage library. The length data of the first pipe string is transmitted to the automatic pipe lowering program through the CAN bus, and the automatic pipe lowering program automatically calculates the pipe lowering amplitude and the number of pipe lowering strokes according to the pipe length data; the first pipe string is grabbed by the luffing arm and then handed over to the lifting manipulator for transportation to the wellhead. After the automatic make-up and break-out device completes the make-up operation, the automatic host automatically lowers the pipe string into the well according to the calculated data; during the process of the first pipe string being lowered by the automatic host, the online length measuring device synchronously measures the length data of the second pipe string, and also stores the data in the data temporary storage library. At this time, the length data of two pipe strings are already stored in the database, and the data is temporarily stored in the database before the first pipe string is lowered; at this time, the luffing arm will After the second pipe string is handed over to the lifting manipulator, it returns again to measure the data of the third pipe string, and the data of the third pipe string is also stored in the database. After the data storage is completed, the luffing arm transports the third pipe string to the waiting position, waiting for the handover with the second manipulator. At this time, the second manipulator carries the second pipe string and waits for the host to complete the lowering of the first pipe string after the second manipulator is in the waiting position, and then the pipe string is handed over to the host; when the lowering of the first pipe string is completed, the data temporary storage library clears the data of the first pipe string, and sets the data of the second pipe string as valid data. At the same time, the data of the second pipe string is passed to the automatic operation program for controlling the lowering of the pipe. The automatic lowering program recalculates the lowering amplitude and the number of lowering strokes according to the length data of the second pipe string, and repeats the lowering action of the first pipe string to realize continuous and automatic lowering of the pipe string.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention provides a method for controlling automatic pipe lowering based on stacked multiple pipes, a method for controlling pipe lowering based on an automated pressure-carrying operation device, and provides an auxiliary lifting device and control method for an automated pressure-carrying operation oil pipe. This method is the first of its kind in the industry. Compared with the traditional manual pipe lowering technical method, this method can realize multiple pipes waiting to be lowered into the well online at the same time, thus reducing the waiting time for pipe transportation and improving the overall operation efficiency. At the same time, a fully automated operation method is adopted to reduce manual labor intensity and reduce the safety risks of construction operations. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

A data temporary storage library is set in the control system 5. After the data temporary storage library receives the length data of the first pipe string, the data is stored in the first position. The data in the first position is the current valid data for pipe lowering. The data is transmitted to the automatic pipe lowering operation program through the CAN bus.

The first pipe string is transported to the wellhead by the automatic pipe transporter. After the automatic buckling operation is completed by the automatic buckling device, the automatic host automatically lowers the pipe string into the well according to the calculated data. During the process of the first pipe string being lowered by the automated host, the online length measuring device synchronously measures the length data of the second pipe string and also stores the data in the data temporary storage library. At this time, the length data of two pipe strings are already stored in the database. Before the first pipe string is lowered, the data is temporarily stored in the database. At this time, the luffing arm on the automatic pipe transporter hands over the second pipe string to the lifting manipulator, and then returns to measure the data of the third pipe string, and stores the data of the third pipe string in the database. After the data storage is completed, the luffing arm on the automatic pipe transporter transports the third pipe string to the waiting position, waiting for the handover with the manipulator. At this time, the manipulator carries the second pipe string and waits for the host to complete the lowering of the first pipe string at the waiting position, and then the pipe string is handed over to the host. After the first pipe string is lowered, the data temporary storage library clears the data of the first pipe string, and sets the data of the second pipe string as valid data. At the same time, the data of the second pipe string is passed to the automatic operation program for controlling the lowering of the pipe. The automatic lowering program recalculates the lowering amplitude and the number of lowering strokes according to the length data of the second pipe string, repeats the lowering action of the first pipe string, and realizes the continuous automatic lowering of the pipe string.

[0046] When used on site, the specific operation method is as follows: the automation host 1 is supported around the wellhead, the lifting manipulator 2 is relatively fixedly connected to the automation host 1, and the luffing arm 3 and the lifting manipulator 2 realize the pipe string handover through the mechanical holding mechanism, that is, after the luffing arm 3 changes the pipe string from the horizontal state to the vertical state, the clamping mechanism of the lifting manipulator 2 clamps the pipe string, and the clamping mechanism of the luffing arm 3 releases the pipe string to complete the pipe string handover. When the luffing arm 3 is in a horizontal position, the pipe string is horizontally placed on the luffing arm 3, and the length measuring device 4 measures the length of the pipe string online in real time through the pressure and position sensors. And the pipe string length data is transmitted to the control system 5 through the CAN bus. In the control system 5. A data temporary storage library is set. After the data temporary storage library receives the first pipe length data, the data is stored in the first position. The data in the first position is the current valid data for lowering the pipe. The data is transmitted to the automatic operation program for lowering the pipe through the CAN bus. Through electro-hydraulic control, the automatic lowering operation of the first pipe string is completed. After the automatic lowering operation of the first pipe string is completed, the control system issues a first pipe string data clearing command to clear the first pipe string length data. During the process of lowering the first pipe string, the length measuring device 4 measures the length data of the second pipe string and transmits it to the data temporary storage library at night, and ranks it in the second position. Once the data of the first pipe string is cleared, the data in the second position will be pushed to the first position. Similarly, the data in the third position will be pushed to the second position. After the data in the second position is pushed to the first position, the length data of the second pipe string has been transmitted to the automatic pipe lowering program. Under the control of the automatic pipe lowering program, the second pipe string and the third pipe string are waiting to be lowered into the pipe string to carry out the continuous pipe string lowering operation. During the pipe lowering operation, the length measuring mechanism 4 cooperates with the variable arm 3 and the lifting manipulator 2 to realize the continuous operation of multiple pipes. The whole operation process does not interfere with each other, which saves the waiting time for pipe string transportation and improves the operation efficiency.

Before the first pipe string is lowered, the data is temporarily stored in the database; at this time, the luffing arm (3) is moved to the wellhead, and the automatic make-up and break-out device (6) completes the make-up operation. After that, the automatic host (1) automatically lowers the pipe string into the well according to the calculated data. (3) After handing over the second pipe string to the lifting manipulator (2), it returns again to measure the data of the third pipe string and stores the data of the third pipe string in the database. After the data storage is completed, the variable arm (3) transports the third pipe string to the waiting position to wait for handover with the second manipulator. At this time, the second manipulator carries the second pipe string and waits for the host to complete the lowering of the first pipe string at the waiting position. Then, the pipe string is handed over to the automated host (1); when the lowering of the first pipe string is completed, the data temporary storage clears the data of the first pipe string and sets the data of the second pipe string as valid data. At the same time, the data of the second pipe string is transmitted to the automatic operation program for controlling the lowering of the pipe. The automatic lowering program recalculates the lowering amplitude and the number of lowering strokes according to the length data of the second pipe string, and repeats the lowering action of the first pipe string to realize the continuous automatic lowering of the pipe string.
