Intelligent Hydraulic Robotic Arm (IHRA) for Pipe Racking on Drilling Rigs ABSTRACT:
Method and system for transferring pipe (drill pipe, drill collar) or stands of pipes on the drilling rig from well centre, or from other position defined by top drive tilting links and elevator, to locations between racking board fingers as needed, and vice versa, using Intelligent Hydraulic Robotic Arm (IHRA).
BACKAROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of invention is handling pipes and pipe stands on the drilling rig for oil and gas.
In the oil and gas industry, when a drilling rig drills oil and gas wells, pipes (drill pipes, drill collars) are repeatedly inserted and removed from the well. When removed from the well, pipe stands are stacked, vertically, on the rig floor and horizontally restrained in the Racking Board located on the drilling rig mast (derrick), 50 or 80 feet above the rig floor. To manipulate pipe stands human (derrick-man) is required on the racking board. Within the drilling rig crew, the derrick man has one of the most dangerous and demanding position.
The existing solutions to replace derrick man, currently in place on the drilling rigs are based on electric, hydraulic and mechanical equipment remotely controlled or controlled by PLC. These rarely fulfill expectations regarding reliability, motion dynamic and safety and must be combined with manual operations.
A wide variety of racking systems, apparatus, and methods for drilling rigs are known, and many of them shown in US Patents: 4013178, 4042123, 4044895, 4128135, 4269554, 4274778, 4345864,4462733, 4647100, 4715761, 4725179, 4738321, 4744710, 4765401, 4862973, 5451129, 5465799, 5711382, 5988299, 6003400, 6779614, 6821071, 6976540, 6997265, 7083007, 7140453, 7178612, 7249639, 7293607, 7510028, SUMMARY OF INVENTION
An aspect of invention provides system for transferring pipe (drill pipe, drill collar) or stands of pipes on the drilling rig from well centre, or from other position defined by top drive tilting links and elevator, to locations between racking board fingers as needed, and vice versa, thus providing efficient tripping operations without the need for a man on the racking board, and ads to safety and efficiency of the drilling operations.
Intelligent Hydraulic Robotic Arm (IHRA) for Pipe Racking utilizes combination of cartezian robot concept and SCARA (selective-compliance-articulated robot arms) robot to achieve compact and light, but still robust design. Intelligent Hydraulic Robotic Arm (IHRA) consists from: a track assembly mounted on or bellow diving board of the racking board, a carriage driven with hydraulic motor, coupled with planetary gearbox, moving alongside the track assembly, a carriage mounted SCARA first arm driven by Helical Rotary Actuator, SCARA second arm driven by second Helical Rotary Actuator, jaw, embedded in SCARA second arm, hydraulically actuated to grab the pipe, and a computer system with software and hardware for control and close loop servo system.
System provides computer controlled one touch trip in, or trip out cycle with sequential activation, and manual over raid with joy stick and CTV supervision.
