International Classification:
E21B 19/16, E21B 19/00
US Classification:
166378, 414 2251
Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to a pipe handling system for use with a tubular joining system (such as a welding or forging assembly) located on a drilling rig at a wellbore. In one aspect, a method of forming a string of pipe using a joining assembly at a wellbore is provided. The joining assembly includes an internal joining tool and an external joining tool. The method includes the step of picking up the pipe joint using an elevator. The method further includes the step of positioning a lower end of the pipe joint adjacent an end of a string of pipe disposed in the external joining tool. The method also includes the step of moving the internal joining tool from a first position to a second position relative to the elevator, wherein the second position is between the pipe joint and the string of pipe. The method further includes the step of forming a connection between the pipe joint and the string of pipe. The method further includes the step of gripping the pipe joint with a gripping tool and releasing the elevator from the pipe joint. Additionally, the method includes the step of lowering the pipe joint and the string of pipe into the wellbore. In another aspect, a method of forming a string of pipe using a joining assembly on a rig is provided. In a further aspect, a pipe handling system for locating a pipe joint in a joining assembly that includes an internal joining tool and an external joining tool is provided.

Assignee:
Weatherford/Lamb, Inc. - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 19/16, E21B 23/00
US Classification:
166380, 166 7751, 166 7752, 166382
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a top drive system includes a quill; a motor operable to rotate the quill; a gripper operable to engage a joint of casing; a connector bi-directionally rotationally coupled to the quill and the gripper and longitudinally coupled to the gripper; and a compensator longitudinally coupled to the quill and the connector. The compensator is operable to allow relative longitudinal movement between the connector and the quill.
Flowback Tool
US Patent:

US Classification:
166381, 166 901, 166 771
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a flowback tool for running a tubular string into a wellbore includes a tubular housing having a bore therethrough and a tubular mandrel. The mandrel: has a bore therethrough in communication with the housing bore, is longitudinally movable relative to the housing, is torsionally coupled to the housing, and has a threaded coupling for engaging a threaded coupling of the tubular string. The flowback tool further includes a nose: longitudinally coupled to the housing, operable to receive an end of the tubular string, and including a seal operable to engage a surface of the tubular string, thereby providing fluid communication between a bore of the tubular string and the mandrel bore. The flowback tool further includes an actuator operable to move the mandrel and the nose longitudinally relative to the housing for engaging and disengaging the tubular string.
