Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of modular drilling rigs, and in particular to a hydraulic system of a modular drilling rig for an offshore oil fixed platform. Background Art

[0002] On the offshore oil fixed platform module drilling rig, a hydraulic station needs to be configured to provide hydraulic power for the equipment. At present, the module drilling rig adopts multiple hydraulic devices to provide hydraulic power to the hydraulic module, but there are the following problems: (1) The number of hydraulic equipment on the modular drilling rig increases. Different hydraulic equipment requires different supply hydraulic pressure and response time. In addition, the equipment is distributed in a relatively scattered manner. The hydraulic control station of the corresponding equipment needs to be separately mounted on a skid, which not only increases the weight of the modular drilling rig, but also requires each hydraulic control station to be equipped with supply, return, and discharge pipelines. The pipelines are scattered on each deck and are difficult to bundle, which poses a hidden danger to personnel safety during operations.

[0003] (2) Some hydraulic equipment, including hydraulic turntable, hydraulic cathead, iron roughneck, second-level manipulator, etc., are located on the deck of the drilling platform, which belongs to the dangerous area. The corresponding hydraulic control station needs to be purchased or processed into explosion-proof equipment, and its explosion-proof grade requirements are high.

[0004] Some hydraulic equipment do not work and respond at the same time under the same working conditions. For example, the working conditions such as derrick lifting and derrick sliding are not carried out at the same time, so the hydraulic stations with corresponding equipment separately configured will increase the volume demand of hydraulic tanks. However, the offshore module drilling rig is arranged on the offshore oil fixed platform, and its space and weight are limited by the deck area of ​​the fixed platform module and the bearing capacity of the jacket. When the volume of the hydraulic tank is too large, although it meets the needs of the hydraulic equipment, it affects the overall platform design of the module drilling rig.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a hydraulic system for a modular drilling rig on an offshore oil fixed platform. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present invention provides a hydraulic system for a module drilling rig on an offshore oil fixed platform, which solves the problem that there are many devices requiring hydraulic power and they are dispersedly distributed, so that the space occupied when providing hydraulic power is reduced and the hydraulic capacity is insufficient.

[0007] The present invention discloses a hydraulic system for a module drilling rig on a fixed offshore oil platform, comprising an integrated hydraulic station, a valve assembly and hydraulic equipment. The integrated hydraulic station is arranged on a mud tank deck layer of a DES module. The integrated hydraulic station is provided with a supply interface with a unified interface pressure, and the supply interface is connected to the hydraulic equipment through the valve assembly.

[0008] The offshore oil fixed platform modular drilling rig hydraulic system preferably comprises a first supply interface and a second supply interface, the pressure of the first supply interface is 21MPa, the pressure of the second supply interface is 16MPa, and the first supply interface and the second supply interface are respectively connected to the hydraulic equipment.

[0009] In the offshore oil fixed platform modular drilling rig hydraulic system, preferably, the integrated hydraulic station is also provided with a fluid discharge port and a fluid return port, and the fluid discharge port and the fluid return port are respectively connected to the hydraulic equipment.

[0010] The offshore oil fixed platform modular drilling rig hydraulic system is preferably configured such that the integrated hydraulic station is independently skidded.

[0011] The offshore oil fixed platform modular drilling rig hydraulic system preferably comprises an east-west bidirectional crawler, a north-south bidirectional crawler, a hydraulic turntable, a first hydraulic cathead, a second hydraulic cathead, an iron driller and a manipulator control box, the integrated hydraulic station controls the east-west bidirectional crawler and the north-south bidirectional crawler respectively through a sliding control box, and the hydraulic pipeline of the east-west bidirectional crawler is connected to the sliding control box through an east / west drag chain, the integrated hydraulic station is connected to the hydraulic turntable, the first hydraulic cathead, the second hydraulic cathead, the iron driller and the manipulator control box respectively through the east / west drag chain, and the integrated hydraulic station controls the first hydraulic cathead and the second hydraulic cathead through the driller's room, the integrated hydraulic station controls the manipulator through the manipulator control box, and the manipulator control box comprises a travel motor, a slewing motor, a clamp head amplitude adjustment hydraulic cylinder, a clamp head opening and closing hydraulic cylinder and a telescopic arm hydraulic cylinder.

[0012] The beneficial effects are: An integrated hydraulic station is set up as a separate skid and installed on the mud tank deck of the DES module. It belongs to the non-hazardous area and has no explosion-proof grade requirements. It is at a moderate distance from each hydraulic equipment and can meet the response time requirements of the hydraulic equipment.

[0013] A 21MPa supply interface, a 16MPa supply interface, a return interface and a discharge interface are set for the integrated hydraulic station, which optimizes the number of hydraulic pipelines and facilitates the difficulty of piping layout.

[0014] The hydraulic volume of the integrated hydraulic station is the maximum value under different working conditions, which optimizes the overall demand for the hydraulic tank volume, thereby reducing the overall weight of the modular drilling rig (especially the drilling table) and the area requirement of the hydraulic station.

[0015] As the DES module of the modular drilling rig needs to cover and operate all the well slots on the platform, the pipelines of the integrated hydraulic station are built into the east-west drag chain to ensure that the integrated hydraulic station can supply fluid to the hydraulic equipment when operating in each well slot, and the pipelines are not arranged in the operating area, reducing safety hazards for operators during operation.
