Manipulatable Spider Components Adapted For Cooperation With A Vertically Reciprocating Control Line Guide

US Patent:
8567514, Oct 29, 2013
Filed:
Dec 11, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/711271
Inventors:
Brian David Begnaud - Youngsville LA, US
Mark Stephen Sibille - Lafayette LA, US
Assignee:
Frank's Casing Crew and Rental Tools, Inc. - Lafayette LA
International Classification:
E21B 19/00
US Classification:
166379, 166 771
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for installing control lines and pipe into a well. The pipe-holding spider that is normally mounted on the rig floor is adapted for easy disassembly and reassembly when the pipe slips within the spider are not engaged with the outer surface of the pipe string so that upon disassembly, a control line guide becomes vertically movable. The control line guide is adapted for being controllably elevated to a distance above the rig floor, thereby providing personnel access to a portion of the length of the pipe string below the elevated control line guide and above the rig floor for securing control line to the pipe string using a fastener.

Torque Transfer Apparatus

US Patent:
5099725, Mar 31, 1992
Filed:
Oct 19, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/600533
Inventors:
Vernon J. Bouligny - New Iberia LA
Mark S. Sibille - Lafayette LA
Assignee:
Franks Casing Crew and Rental Tools, Inc. - Lafayette LA
International Classification:
B25b 1350
US Classification:
81 5734
Abstract:
An apparatus for making up or breaking out of two members having mating threaded connections, such as pipe joints or bolts for avoiding undesirable transverse forces relative to the two members during tightening (or loosening), thereby insuring the connection is made up (or broken out) by essentially pure torque loads. The apparatus includes a power-driven lead tong, a back-up tong, a load cell which cooperates with either tong to produce a torque measurement and an interconnecting frame and isolation apparatus which eliminates transverse forces relative to the two threaded members. The power-driven lead tong rotatingly drives the first threaded member about its axis either clockwise or counterclockwise, as required. The back-up tong secures the second threaded member against axial rotation in response to the rotation of the first member. The interconnecting frame and isolation apparatus adapts the lead tong to the back-up tong in such a manner that their relative tendencies to rotate about the threaded members, in opposite directions, counteract each other.

Isolated Torsional-Transfer Combined Tong Apparatus

US Patent:
4972741, Nov 27, 1990
Filed:
Oct 13, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/257280
Inventors:
Mark S. Sibille - Lafayette LA
Assignee:
Franks Casing Crew and Rental Tools, Inc. - Lafayette LA
International Classification:
B25B 1700
US Classification:
81 5716
Abstract:
An apparatus for making up and breaking out of pipe, bolts or other threaded members, and for measuring the amount of torque being applied to the threaded connection, without causing the application of undesirable transverse forces during the tightening or loosening process. The apparatus includes a conventional power-driven lead tong, a back-up tong with a pivotal mounted inner frame which cooperates with a load cell, and an isolated torsional transfer structure which interconnects the lead tong and back-up tong through pairs of three mutually peripendicular linear slides. The load cell, pivotally mounted inner frame and external housing of the back-up tong cooperate to produce a torque measurement without creating any unpaired linear forces against the connection being made. The three mutually perpendicular slides of the interconnecting frame allow for the transferal of torque between the lead tong and back-up tong, so that their relative tendencies to rotate about the work piece in opposite direction is resisted, but the slides eliminate any net linear forces between tongs. By eliminating all unpaired linear forces arising out of the torque measuring process, and by eliminating all unpaired linear forces arising out of each tong resisting the other tong's tendency to rotate, threaded connections are tightened and loosened by pure torque alone, with no transverse or bending forces applied to the connection.

Pipe Position Locator

US Patent:
2003014, Aug 7, 2003
Filed:
Feb 4, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/067470
Inventors:
Charles Webre - Lafayette LA, US
Michael Olivier - Broussard LA, US
Jeremy Angelle - Lafayette LA, US
Vernon Bouligny - New Iberia LA, US
Mark Sibille - Lafayette LA, US
Assignee:
Frank's Casing Crew and Rental Tools, Inc. - Lafayette LA
International Classification:
E21B043/00
US Classification:
166/064000, 166/066000
Abstract:
At least one sensor is mounted for monitoring the vertical position of an elevator relative to selected features on a pipe string. Mounting for a variety of sensor types is provided. Optional mounting arrangement permits the sensors to be situated close to a pipe free to move laterally, excess lateral movement of the pipe to move the mounting with reduced shock to the sensors.

Collar Load Support Tubing Running Procedure

US Patent:
5083356, Jan 28, 1992
Filed:
Oct 4, 1990

7/592586
Inventors:
Manuel E. Gonzalez - Humble TX
Joe M. Escobar - Viboras Encino TX
Doyle F. Boutwell - Houston TX
Mark Sibille - Lafayette LA
Charles M. Webre - Lafayette LA
Assignee:
Exxon Production Research Company - Houston TX
International Classification:
B23P 1904, B23P 1100
US Classification:
29429
Abstract:
A method for non-abrasively running tubing comprising suspending the tubing from the face of the uppermost collar of the tubing by resting the face upon a support shoulder, making up a new tubular with collar into a tubular unit, attaching a non-abrasive lift unit to a tubular unit, stabbing the new tubular into the upper collar, non-abrasively making the connection tight, and lifting the lift unit to raise the string, the method being appropriately reversed for pulling the string.
