Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of petroleum engineering equipment and relates to a light fully hydraulically controlled marine workover rig. Background Art

[0002] Most of the existing offshore workover rigs are driven by AC variable frequency motors, which are characterized by fully electric AC variable frequency control. The system structure is relatively complex, and the technical level of operators and maintenance personnel is required to be high. The entire set of traveling and hoisting system consists of a derrick, a winch, a crown block, a traveling block and a drilling wire rope. The system has many components and is relatively complex to operate and maintain. At the same time, the derrick needs to bear the entire weight of the tubing in the well, which also makes the overall structure of the derrick larger and heavier. In terms of the layout of the drilling platform equipment, in order to enable the operators in the driller's room to observe the drilling surface more comprehensively, the driller's room needs to be placed inside the derrick legs, or the opening of the lower legs of the derrick needs to be increased, which also increases the area of ​​the drilling surface.

[0003] At present, there are two main forms of stand discharge on offshore drilling and repair equipment. One is to arrange the second-floor platform and the stand box on the front side of the derrick. In this arrangement, in order for the operators in the driller's room to observe the wellhead, the driller's room needs to be placed on the inside of the derrick legs, so the left and right openings at the bottom of the derrick need to be enlarged. If the driller's room is placed outside the derrick, the operators in the driller's room need to observe the wellhead from between the gaps in the derrick. In order to avoid the derrick blocking the line of sight, the space at the bottom of the derrick needs to be enlarged. The above two arrangements of the driller's room will increase the weight of the derrick and the area of ​​the drilling platform. At the same time, the operator's line of sight in the driller's room is blocked by the pipe string stand, and it is impossible to observe the operation of the equipment at the front of the well site, making it difficult for the operators in the driller's room to take into account the operation of the equipment in the entire well site. Another arrangement is not to set up a second-layer platform on the derrick, and not to set up a stand box on the drilling floor. Instead, a single pipe string or stand is placed horizontally on the drilling floor or deck, or a single pipe string or stand is placed in a drill pipe box, and then the drill pipe box is placed on the drilling floor or deck. This type of pipe string placement greatly increases the area of ​​the drilling floor or deck, and is usually used for shallow drilling / repairing depths, that is, when there are fewer pipe strings. At the same time, during the tripping operation, the pipe string needs to be taken out of the well and then placed on the drilling floor or deck, which also greatly reduces the operating efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a light fully hydraulically controlled marine workover rig, which solves the problems of the marine workover rig in the prior art, such as the large number of supporting equipment, complex operation and maintenance, large size and heavy weight.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is a light fully hydraulically controlled marine well repair rig, including a light derrick, in which a hydraulic top drive and two lifting cylinders are arranged, and the two lifting cylinders are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the light derrick; a root box and a second-layer platform pipe arrangement device are arranged at the rear of the light derrick, and a driller's room is arranged in front of the light derrick.

[0006] The present invention is also characterized in that:

[0007] The light derrick is installed on a base, and a base sliding device is arranged under the base.

[0008] The hydraulic top drive includes a top drive guide frame and a hydraulic elevator. The hydraulic top drive moves up and down along the guide rails on the light derrick through the top drive guide frame.

[0009] The lower end of the cylinder barrel of the lifting cylinder is fixed to the lower side of the light derrick, and a lifting pulley block is arranged at the top end of the piston rod of the lifting cylinder. A drilling wire rope is arranged on the lifting pulley block. One end of the drilling wire rope is fixed to the lower side of the light derrick, and the other end passes around the lifting pulley block and is connected to the top drive guide frame of the hydraulic top drive.

[0010] An iron roughneck is arranged on one side at the lower interior of the light derrick.

[0011] The driller room adopts dual driller control mode.

[0012] A hydraulic turntable and power slips are provided at the wellhead of the drilling rig.

[0013] The workover rig also includes a manifold, which is divided into two parts: a drilling fluid manifold and a throttling and well-killing manifold. Both are arranged on the drilling floor, and the two are arranged according to the weight distribution of the equipment on the drilling floor to evenly distribute the weight of each equipment on the drilling floor.

[0014] The workover rig also includes a pipe grabber and a power catwalk. Tracks or rollers are arranged below the power catwalk so that the power catwalk can translate along with the workover rig as a whole.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] The workover rig of the present invention uses a lifting cylinder, a lifting pulley block and a drilling wire rope to form a lifting system, replacing the traditional travel suspension system composed of a winch, a crown block, a derrick, a traveling block and a wire rope. The entire lifting system has the characteristics of simple configuration, light weight, large lifting force and convenient maintenance. The light derrick only plays a role in straightening the lifting cylinder and the lifting pulley block, and does not bear the load of the pipe string in the well, which can greatly reduce the weight of the derrick. The root box is arranged on the rear side of the light derrick, that is, the drill pipe root is arranged on the rear side of the derrick, and the driller's room is arranged on the front side of the derrick. The operator in the driller's room has a wide field of vision and can clearly observe the status of the wellhead, the operation of the pipe string and the pipe string yard. The workover rig of the present invention integrates the power sources of all hydraulic actuators into one, which is convenient for overall maintenance. The power source is not placed on the drilling floor, which greatly reduces the weight of the drilling floor and makes the layout of the drilling floor equipment more concise. The whole set of equipment adopts full hydraulic control, there is no electrical equipment on the drilling floor, and the operation is safer. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
