Simultaneous Tubular Handling System And Method
US Patent:
7802636, Sep 28, 2010
Filed:
Feb 23, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/710638

International Classification:
E21B 19/00, E21B 19/20
US Classification:
175 52, 175 85, 175 57, 175162, 175203, 166 771, 166 7751, 166380
Abstract:
A system and method for building and handling oilfield tubular stands while drilling operations are simultaneously and independently occurring with one drilling deck, one derrick, and one rotary system. An offline guided path horizontal to vertical arm lifts and moves in the same plane tubulars stored horizontally on the catwalk and positions the tubulars vertically directly into a preparation hole for assembling and disassembling tubular stands while online drilling operations are simultaneously being conducted. A stand arm lifts and lowers the tubulars into and out of the adjustable preparation hole, and transports the tubulars for storage to an auxiliary tubular racking station in the upper part of the derrick. A bridge racker crane moves tubular stands from the auxiliary tubular racking station to the top drive or another tubular racking station.
