Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oil drilling machinery technology, specifically relating to a multi-robot ultra-long tubing string handling system and a multi-robot ultra-long tubing string handling method. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of exploration and development technologies and the continuous increase in exploration depth, the number of standpipes, as the basic unit of the tubing string, is increasing. Furthermore, the tripping time accounts for a large proportion of the entire drilling cycle. Therefore, improving drilling efficiency and reducing drilling costs has always been a goal pursued by drilling contractors and drilling equipment manufacturers.
[0003] Currently, domestic automated drilling rigs typically employ a stand-up assembly method using three individual stands. This tubing handling system suffers from technical issues related to the long stand-up assembly and tripping times. The influencing factors are as follows: 1. During stand-up assembly, the power catwalk delivers one stand-up to the wellhead each time, requiring three delivery operations, resulting in low efficiency. 2. The drilling platform has a large number of devices involved in stand-up assembly and placement (a total of six), requiring high coordination and often resulting in poor cooperation, thus extending the operation time. 3. The stand-up assembly typically consists of three individual stands, leading to numerous stand-up assembly and disassembly operations throughout the well, further increasing the operation time. 4. The driller on the drilling platform performing the assembly and disassembly of the three individual stand-up stands needs to perform two setup and disassembly operations, and multiple devices are in a waiting state during the operation, resulting in low efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The primary objective of this invention is to provide a multi-robot ultra-long tubing handling system, which solves the technical problems of existing drilling rig tubing automation systems having numerous unit devices and low efficiency in collaborative operations, thus affecting the tripping and running-out cycle.
[0005] The second objective of this invention is to provide a method for handling ultra-long tubular columns using multiple robots.
[0006] The first technical solution adopted in this invention is a multi-robot ultra-long pipe column processing system, including a continuous conveying robot and a drilling rig base connected to each other. A stockpile pipe column hoisting robot, a pipe rack and a ground double-pipe building robot are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the continuous conveying robot. A derrick and a derrick guide rail are provided on the top of the drilling rig base. A vertical transfer robot is connected to the derrick. A traveling hoist system is provided on the derrick guide rail. A traveling hoist system telescopic device is connected between the derrick guide rail and the traveling hoist system. It also includes a rat hole located near the center of the bottom of the drilling rig base, and an iron drill and an electro-hydraulic control system are located near the rat hole. The electro-hydraulic control system is connected to the yard pipe column hoisting robot, the continuous conveying robot, the ground double-column building robot, the vertical transfer robot, the telescopic device of the traveling crane system, and the iron drill electro-hydraulic system.
[0007] The first technical solution of this invention is further characterized by: The continuous conveying robot includes a base support set between two yard column hoisting robots. The base support is connected to a base at the top, and lifting devices are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base. One end of the base is connected to a ramp, and the bottom of the ramp is connected to a ramp support. One end of the ramp is connected to the drilling rig base. A conveying device is installed on the base and the ramp. The conveying device has at least one trolley driven by belt or chain, and the trolley moves between the base and the ramp.
[0008] The vertical transport robot includes a column, with an upper guide rail connected to the top of the column and a lower guide rail connected to the bottom of the column. The lower guide rail is connected to the drilling rig base, and the upper guide rail is connected to the derrick. The column moves linearly along the upper and lower guide rails and rotates along the axis. The column has a lower robotic arm near the bottom, with a support device on the lower robotic arm. The column has an upper robotic arm near the top, which is slidably connected to the column. The upper robotic arm has a clamping device on the upper robotic arm, and a lifting device is installed below the clamping device.
[0009] The ground-based double-root construction robots are symmetrically positioned between the pipe rack and the continuous conveying robot, while the yard pipe column hoisting robots are symmetrically positioned on both sides of the continuous conveying robot, arranged along the sides of the pipe rack and the ground-based double-root construction robots.
[0010] The second technical solution adopted in this invention is a multi-robot ultra-long tubing string processing method. Using the aforementioned multi-robot ultra-long tubing string processing system, the single tubing strings on the pipe rack are combined into a vertical string and then placed in the vertical string platform through a root-establishing operation; the vertical string is taken out from the vertical string platform and connected to the wellhead tubing string through a down-drilling vertical string connection operation; the vertical string is separated from the tubing string through a tripping vertical string disassembly operation, and the vertical string is placed in the vertical string platform; the vertical string is taken out from the vertical string platform and split into two double strings through a vertical string throwing operation, and the two double strings are split into single strings and hoisted onto the pipe rack.
[0011] The second technical solution of the present invention is further characterized by: The specific steps to establish the root job are as follows: Step 1: The first and second single pipes on the pipe rack are lifted to the ground by the yard pipe column hoisting robot and connected to form the first double pipe. The above process is repeated to build the second double pipe. The continuous conveying robot transports the first double pipe to the drilling platform. The above process is repeated to transport the second double pipe to the drilling platform. Step 1.1: The yard pipe hoisting robot hoists the first and second single pipes from the pipe rack to the ground and connects them to form the first double pipe; repeat the above process to build the second double pipe. Step 1.2: The yard pipe hoisting robot hoists the first pair of pipes into the continuous conveying robot lifting device, and then moves the first pair of pipes into the conveying device. The conveying device drives the trolley to push the first pair of pipes from the base all the way to the drilling platform. The above process is repeated to convey the second pair of pipes to the drilling platform. Step 2: The first pair of roots is placed in the mouse hole by the vertical transfer robot, the second pair of roots is lifted, the driller combines the first pair of roots and the second pair of roots into a standing root, and the vertical transfer robot lifts the standing root into the mouse hole and places it into the standing root platform. Step 2.1: The vertical transfer robot column rotates and moves so that the lower and upper robotic arms face the continuous conveying robot side. After the first double rod is engaged by the lifting device, it moves to the mouse hole side and places the first double rod in the mouse hole on the drilling platform. Step 2.2: The vertical transfer robot rotates to the side of the continuous conveying robot, the lifting device engages with the second double root, and lifts the second double root above the first double root. The first double root and the second double root are connected to form a root by the iron drill. The vertical transfer robot clamping device clamps the upper end of the root and moves it up along the column. The supporting device supports the lower end of the root. After lifting the root away from the mouse hole, it rotates back to the root platform to complete the root placement.
[0012] The specific steps for connecting the standpipe during drilling are as follows: When the traveling crane system's telescopic device moves the traveling crane system away from the wellhead and to a higher position, the vertical transfer robot's column rotates to the standpipe platform side. The upper end of the standpipe is clamped by the clamping device, and the lower end of the standpipe is supported by the supporting device. The standpipe is then removed from the standpipe platform and transferred back to the top of the wellhead tubing string. The driller connects the standpipe to the wellhead tubing string. The traveling crane system's telescopic device swings the traveling crane system to the wellhead. After the traveling crane system engages with the standpipe, the vertical transfer robot releases the engagement and begins to remove the next standpipe.
[0013] The specific steps for tripping the drill string and removing the standpipe are as follows: The traveling crane system lifts the tubing string to a high position, and the driller separates the standpipe from the tubing string. The vertical transfer robot clamps the upper end of the standpipe, and the support device supports the lower end of the standpipe. The traveling crane system releases the standpipe, and the traveling crane system is deviated from the wellhead and lowered to lift the next standpipe through the traveling crane system's telescopic device. While the traveling crane system is lowering, the vertical transfer robot clamps the standpipe and rotates it back to the drill platform side, where the standpipe is placed in the standpipe platform.
[0014] The specific steps of the root-splitting operation are as follows: Step 1: The vertical transfer robot takes the standing root out of the standing root platform and places it in the mouse hole. The iron driller splits the standing root into two double roots. The vertical transfer robot then transfers the two double roots to the continuous conveyor robot in turn. Step 1.1: The vertical transfer robot clamps the upper end of the upright root with the gripping device and supports the lower end of the upright root. The upright root is placed in the mouse hole with the cooperation of the operation. The lifting device locks the upper end of the upright root and the iron drill is used to split the upright root into the first double root and the second double root. Step 1.2: The lifting device of the vertical transfer robot engages with the upper end of the first double root, and the supporting device of the lower robotic arm cooperates to lift the first double root and move it to the side of the continuous conveying robot. The lower robotic arm and the upper robotic arm cooperate to transfer the first double root to the trolley of the continuous conveying robot. Repeat the above process to transfer the second double root to the trolley of the continuous conveying robot. Step 2: The continuous conveying robot transports the two double pipes to the low position in sequence. The two double pipes are then transferred to the ground double pipe building robot in sequence by the yard pipe column hoisting robot, disassembled into single pipes, and hoisted onto the pipe rack. Step 2.1: The continuous conveying robot's conveying device drives the trolley to convey the first pair of roots downwards onto the lifting device, and then conveys the first pair of roots to the lower position. The above process is repeated to convey the second pair of roots to the lower position. Step 2.2: The yard pipe hoisting robot hoists the first double pipe to the ground and builds the double pipe robot, disassembles it into the first and second single pipes, and then hoists the two single pipes onto the pipe rack for storage; repeat the above process to disassemble the second double pipe into two single pipes for storage.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention can handle extra-long tubing strings with four single-segment standoffs, reducing the number of standoff setups and dismantling operations for the entire well, thereby reducing the overall well tripping time. It can also handle standoff combinations of two or three single-segment strings. This invention enables independent standoff setup, meaning the standoff setup does not occupy the wellhead center, and standoff setup and drilling operations can be performed simultaneously, improving drilling efficiency. The drill rig operator only needs to perform one setup / unset operation, and other equipment can operate in parallel without waiting, improving the efficiency of the tubing string handling system. The continuous conveying robot of this invention can continuously convey single or double single-segment strings. Compared to wire rope lifting and hydraulic cylinder lifting methods, this structure is simple, safe, reliable, and efficient. The unit equipment in this invention has a high degree of integration, with fewer devices installed on the drill rig than current domestic automated drilling rigs, minimizing the impact on the stability of the drilling rig derrick. The entire operation process of this invention is fully automated, reducing the labor intensity of operators. (See attached figures.)
