Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of marine dual-gradient drilling construction technology, and more specifically, to a subsea heave compensation and anchoring device for deep-sea dual-gradient drilling. Background Art

[0002] The deep-sea dual-gradient drilling system is a solution for the recovery of drilling fluid in marine drilling, which can effectively solve the problems of pollution caused by direct discharge of drilling fluid into the sea and the large size of the hull and doubled operating costs due to the use of risers to recover drilling fluid. In this technology, conventional risers are not used in marine drilling, and the drill pipe is directly exposed to seawater. The subsea lift pump sends the drilling fluid containing cuttings in the wellhead suction module back to the drilling ship through the return pipe string.

[0003] As the return pipe string is the channel for the drilling fluid to return to the drilling ship, it needs to be positioned by an anchoring device on the seabed. The complex environment of marine drilling not only requires the device to provide firm positioning, but also to keep a certain distance from the wellhead to prevent collision with the wellhead suction module; to avoid the vertical heave of the ship caused by waves, it needs to have the function of compensating for the vertical heave of the return pipe string; at the same time, it also needs to have the ability of emergency release and be able to quickly disengage from the return pipe string in case of emergency.

[0004] When recovering the return pipe string, the anchoring device can pull out the anchor barrel from the mud for recycling; when it cannot be pulled out from the mud; or when a typhoon is coming and emergency evacuation is needed, the emergency release process can be started to discard components such as the anchor barrel and the counterweight rod to achieve rapid recovery.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide a subsea heave compensation and anchoring device for deep-sea dual-gradient drilling, since the components of the subsea heave compensation and anchoring device are heavy, for the convenience of offshore hoisting, lowering and recovery, improving construction efficiency and safety, and reducing construction costs and failure rates, is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a subsea heave compensation and anchoring device for deep-sea dual-gradient drilling, which can provide firm positioning, keep a certain distance from the wellhead to prevent collision with the wellhead suction module; avoid the vertical heave of the ship caused by waves, and needs to have the function of compensating for the vertical heave of the return pipe string; at the same time, it also needs to have the ability of emergency release and be able to quickly disengage from the return pipe string in case of emergency.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] A subsea heave compensation and anchoring device for deep-sea dual-gradient drilling, comprising:

[0009] An anchor barrel;

[0010] Lower flange, the bottom of the lower flange abuts against the top of the anchor barrel, and a release oil cylinder and an emergency oil cylinder are connected to the outer side wall of the lower flange. A hook claw is controlled by the release oil cylinder, and the hook claw hooks the top flange of the anchor barrel; the emergency oil cylinder is connected with a radially movable wedge block, and a lifting rod is slidably connected in the lower flange, and the lifting rod is locked and positioned by the wedge block;

[0011] Counterweight heave compensation rod, the counterweight heave compensation rod is slidably connected in the anchor barrel, and the top of the counterweight heave compensation rod is connected to the bottom end of the lifting rod by a steel wire rope; when it is necessary to start the emergency disengagement working state, control the release oil cylinder to unlock the anchor barrel, and control the emergency oil cylinder to unlock the lifting rod to realize the abandonment of the anchor barrel and the counterweight heave compensation rod.

[0012] Through the above technical solutions, the present invention realizes various functions of the subsea heave compensation and anchoring device through the organic combination of components such as the anchor barrel, the lower flange, and the counterweight heave compensation rod. It can firmly position the upper return string to prevent it from colliding with the wellhead suction module, and can effectively compensate for the heave of the hull in the vertical direction, ensuring the stable progress of the drilling operation. At the same time, it has the ability of emergency disengagement, and can quickly disengage from the anchor barrel and the counterweight heave compensation rod in case of emergency, ensuring the safety of equipment and personnel, improving the construction efficiency and safety, and reducing the construction cost and failure rate.

[0013] Preferably, in the above-mentioned subsea heave compensation and anchoring device for deep-sea dual-gradient drilling, an underwater hydraulic unit for controlling the release oil cylinder and the emergency oil cylinder is installed on the lower flange. Installing the underwater hydraulic unit on the lower flange can directly and accurately control the actions of the release oil cylinder and the emergency oil cylinder underwater. This design enables the operator to unlock, lock and other operations on the anchoring device in a timely and accurate manner according to the actual operation requirements, improves the response speed and operation reliability of the device, and further enhances the adaptability and stability of the device in the complex marine environment.

[0014] Preferably, in the above-mentioned subsea heave compensation and anchoring device for deep-sea dual-gradient drilling, an underwater camera for monitoring the action of the hook claw is installed on the lower flange. The underwater camera installed on the lower flange can monitor the action of the hook claw in real time. The operator can intuitively understand the connection state between the hook claw and the top flange of the anchor barrel through the image transmitted by the camera, ensuring that the hook claw accurately and reliably hooks or releases the anchor barrel, avoiding potential safety hazards or operation errors caused by the improper action of the hook claw, and improving the visualization degree and safety of the operation.

[0015] Preferably, in the above-mentioned seabed heave compensation and anchoring device for deep-sea dual-gradient drilling, a limit pin and a guide pin are connected to the upper part of the anchor barrel. The limit pin is located below the guide pin. The limit pin is used to prevent the weight heave compensation rod from sliding out of the top of the anchor barrel, and the guide pin is used to prevent the steel wire rope from rubbing against the edge of the anchor barrel. The design of the limit pin and the guide pin at the upper part of the anchor barrel plays an important role in structural protection. The limit pin effectively prevents the weight heave compensation rod from sliding out of the top of the anchor barrel, ensuring the structural integrity of the device; the guide pin avoids the friction between the steel wire rope and the edge of the anchor barrel, reduces the wear of the steel wire rope, extends the service life of the steel wire rope, and also helps to maintain the normal operation of the device and reduce the maintenance cost.

[0016] Preferably, in the above-mentioned seabed heave compensation and anchoring device for deep-sea dual-gradient drilling, the bottom end of the lifting rod is connected to the steel wire rope through a first fixing pin and a shackle. The bottom end of the lifting rod is connected to the steel wire rope through a first fixing pin and a shackle. This connection method is firm and reliable and can withstand a large tensile force. In a complex marine environment, it ensures a stable connection between the steel wire rope and the lifting rod, avoiding device failures caused by loose or broken connections, and improving the reliability of the device during heave compensation and emergency release processes.

[0017] Preferably, in the above-mentioned seabed heave compensation and anchoring device for deep-sea dual-gradient drilling, the middle anchor barrel of the anchor barrel is connected to the lower anchor barrel through a second fixing pin, and the upper anchor tip at the bottom of the lower anchor barrel is connected to the lower anchor tip through a cutting pin. The middle anchor barrel is connected to the lower anchor barrel through a second fixing pin, and the upper anchor tip at the bottom of the lower anchor barrel is connected to the lower anchor tip through a cutting pin. This segmented connection structure not only ensures the overall stability of the anchor barrel but also facilitates the rapid separation of components by cutting the cutting pin when needed. This design can quickly discard the anchor barrel and the weight heave compensation rod during emergency release, improving the emergency response speed and operation flexibility of the device.

[0018] Preferably, in the above-mentioned seabed heave compensation and anchoring device for deep-sea dual-gradient drilling, a lower limit plate is fixed inside the upper anchor tip, and the lower limit plate is used to prevent the weight heave compensation rod from sliding out of the upper anchor tip. The lower limit plate fixed inside the upper anchor tip can effectively prevent the weight heave compensation rod from sliding out of the upper anchor tip. This design further enhances the structural stability of the device, ensuring that the weight heave compensation rod can maintain the correct position under various working conditions, avoiding device failures or safety accidents caused by component sliding out, and improving the safety and reliability of the device.

[0019] Preferably, in the above-mentioned subsea heave compensation and anchoring device for deep-sea dual-gradient drilling, a jumper hose connection flange is connected to the lowering flange. The jumper hose connection flange connected to the lowering flange provides the device with an extended connection function to other equipment or systems. Through the jumper hose connection flange, it is convenient to connect the anchoring device to other hydraulic systems, control systems, etc., to achieve more complex operation processes and function expansions, enhancing the versatility and adaptability of the device.

[0020] Preferably, in the above-mentioned subsea heave compensation and anchoring device for deep-sea dual-gradient drilling, a counterweight frame is fixed to the lowering flange. The counterweight frame fixed to the lowering flange can provide stable counterweight for the device. In the deep-sea environment, stable counterweight helps to maintain the balance and stability of the device, reduce the influence of factors such as ocean currents and waves on the device, improve the stability of the device during operation, and ensure the normal functioning of the heave compensation and anchoring functions.

[0021] Preferably, in the above-mentioned subsea heave compensation and anchoring device for deep-sea dual-gradient drilling, the lowering flange is connected to a riser string. Connecting the lowering flange to the riser string realizes the integrated integration of the anchoring device and the riser string. This design makes the entire drilling system more compact and coordinated, facilitating operation and management. At the same time, the integrated integration also helps to improve the overall performance and reliability of the system, reduce connection problems and failure risks caused by component separation, and improve the efficiency and safety of drilling operations.

[0022] Through the above technical solutions, compared with the prior art, the present invention discloses a subsea heave compensation and anchoring device for deep-sea dual-gradient drilling, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1.

The device can firmly position the riser string and keep a certain distance from the wellhead suction module to prevent collision between the two, avoiding equipment damage and operation interruption caused by collision, and improving operation safety. In case of emergency, such as when the anchor barrel cannot be pulled out or an emergency evacuation is required during a typhoon, the anchor barrel and the counterweight heave compensation rod can be quickly released by controlling the release cylinder and the emergency cylinder, enabling the lowering flange, the counterweight frame, and the riser string to be quickly evacuated, ensuring the safety of equipment and personnel and reducing losses.

This enables the operator to intuitively and accurately grasp the operating state of the device, make timely operation adjustments, and improve the reliability and convenience of the operation. The lifting rod and the wire rope are connected through the first fixing pin and the shackle, and each component of the anchor barrel is connected through fixing pins, shear pins, etc. These connection methods are firm and reliable, can withstand large tensile forces and forces under complex working conditions, reduce faults such as component loosening and falling off, and ensure the normal operation of the device. The structural designs such as the limit pin, guide pin, and lower limit plate effectively prevent problems such as the sliding out of the counterweight heave compensation rod and the friction between the wire rope and the edge of the anchor barrel, protect the components of the device from damage, extend the service life, and at the same time ensure the structural stability and functional integrity of the device.

[0025] 3. Improve construction efficiency and economy: Each component of the device is heavy. Through reasonable design and optimized structure, it is convenient for offshore hoisting, lowering, and recovery operations, reduces hoisting time and input of manpower and material resources, and improves construction efficiency. When recovering the upper-return pipe string, the anchor barrel can be pulled out of the mud to realize the recovery and reuse of components, reducing construction costs. At the same time, the emergency release function can quickly abandon some components when necessary, ensure the safe evacuation of the main equipment, and reduce economic losses caused by equipment damage or loss. The device has good adaptability, can meet the requirements of deep-sea dual-gradient drilling operations under different depths and different geological conditions, reduce equipment adjustment and replacement caused by environmental changes, and improve equipment utilization rate and construction benefits.
