Definitions

  • the invention relates to a land drilling rig, hereinafter sometimes referred to as a drilling rig, for sinking deep boreholes, for example on hydrocarbon deposits, for oil and gas exploration or for developing geothermal energy.
  • the invention further relates to a method for moving a so-called top drive (power rotary head) in a drilling mast of a land drilling rig and a method for so-called removing a drill string from a borehole and a method for installing a drill string in a borehole.
  • Time-dependent costs are a critical aspect of the operation of a land drilling rig. Installing and removing the drill string is particularly time-consuming. This is necessary, for example, when replacing a drill head.
  • the removal of a drill string and the subsequent installation (reinstallation) of a drill string is also referred to as a "round trip”.
  • the duration of the removal and installation of a drill string is also referred to as the "trip rate”.
  • a short trip rate is an essential criterion for the costs of a drilling project and accordingly an essential differentiator for providers of a drilling rig.
  • One object of the present invention is to provide a drilling rig, in particular a drilling mast of a drilling rig, which enables the time required for a round trip to be reduced.
  • the drilling system proposed here comprises, in a manner known per se, a drilling mast, a power rotary head which is movable in the drilling mast along the vertical axis of the drilling mast and is referred to in technical terminology as a top drive, and a crown block in the specialist terminology as a crown block (crown block) on the upper end (head end) of the drill mast.
  • the special feature is that the crown bearing is movable, namely is movable in translation, in particular movable in translation transversely to the vertical axis of the drill mast.
  • a crown bearing positioning device referred to below for short as a positioning device.
  • the drilling rig or drilling mast has such a positioning device which is intended and set up to move the crown bearing during operation and which moves the crown bearing as intended during operation.
  • the positioning device is intended and directed to move the crown bearing back and forth between at least two different positions (first position; second position) as required.
  • the positioning device is or comprises a device which, in operation, moves the crown bearing into the first position, into the second position and, if necessary, into further positions and holds it in the respective position.
  • the positioning device is, for example, a drive or comprises, for example, at least one drive.
  • the top drive hanging under the crown bearing and at least indirectly hanging on the crown bearing is located above the center of the borehole and correspondingly on a position referred to as the borehole center.
  • the top drive is always at the center of the borehole, when the drill string is raised, lowered or rotated by means of the top drive.
  • the first position of the crown bearing, in which the top drive is on the center of the borehole is accordingly also referred to as the "center of the borehole" or as "above the center of the borehole”; both terms mean the same thing.
  • the crown bearing In the second position, the crown bearing is in a position spaced from the center of the borehole. This position is referred to below as the withdrawn position.
  • the center of the borehole is any position above the center of the borehole or any position along an axis defined by the drill string in the borehole (borehole center axis). Any position along a further axis which runs parallel to the borehole center axis and at a distance from the borehole center axis is considered a retracted position.
  • Land drilling rig with a drilling mast, a top drive movable in the drilling mast along the vertical axis of the drilling mast and a crown bearing at an upper end of the drilling mast, where the crown bearing can be moved by means of a positioning device.
  • the land drilling rig has a travel path for the Kronenla ger at the upper end of the drill mast and a positioning device acting as a displacement or displacement device.
  • the land drilling rig has a drive acting on the one hand on the drilling mast and on the other hand on the crown bearing as a traversing or displacement device.
  • the land drilling rig namely the drive acting as a displacement or displacement device, has at least one drive wheel rotating with means of the drive (motor drive, electric motor) and in, on or on the travel path.
  • the mobility of the crown bearing according to the innovation proposed here has the advantage that a top drive, which can even move between the position above the center of the borehole and a retracted position, can carry out so-called load journeys to the center of the borehole and so-called empty journeys in the retracted position.
  • Such mobility of the top drive (mobility between the center of the borehole and a withdrawn position) is known per se in offshore drilling rigs, but not in land drilling rigs. This mobility is also given in the innovation proposed here. This mobility is realized by means of a further positioning device, referred to below as a spreading device to distinguish it.
  • the top drive is vertically movable in a manner known per se along a guide in the drilling mast, in particular along a guide attached to the drilling mast.
  • the spreading device acts directly or indirectly on the guide and the top drive is located at the opposite end of the spreading device.
  • the spreading device moves with the Topdrive in the mast and can in principle also be viewed as part of the Topdrive.
  • the top drive can be moved in a first plane and in a second plane, each parallel to a plane defined by the guide.
  • a scissor lift mechanism acts as a spreading device, for example, which is effective in the horizontal direction for the purpose of "spreading" the top drive from the guide, ie moving the top drive into the position above the center of the borehole.
  • the top drive is supported on the guide when rotating the drill string and when rotating the drill string.
  • the mechanical connection between the top drive and the guide is via the expansion device.
  • the guide and the spreading device ensure that the torque applied by the top drive causes the drill string to rotate.
  • the top drive In one of the two parallel planes in which the top drive can be moved by means of the spreading device, the top drive is located above the center of the borehole (first level; first position) and this first position is also referred to here as the position above the center of the borehole or, for short, the center of the borehole. In the other level (second level; second position) the top drive is not above the center of the borehole and this second position is referred to as the retracted position, analogous to the second position of the crown bearing.
  • the positioning device and the spreading device are activated synchronously or at least essentially synchronously: If the top drive is moved into the position above the center of the borehole by means of the positioning device when the top drive is moving under load, the top drive is also moved into position by means of the spreading device moved over borehole center (into the first level); in the case of a crown bearing moved by means of the positioning device during an empty run of the top drive into the retracted position, the top drive is also moved into the retracted position (into the second level) by means of the spreading device. During a load journey, the Topdrive is above the center of the borehole and the drill string is attached to the Topdrive.
  • the top drive moves cyclically up and down in the drill mast in a manner known per se, namely between a position at the end of an upward movement and a position at the end of a downward movement, which in the following is simply referred to as "up in the mast “and” down in the mast “are referred to, where it does not depend on an exact vertical position.
  • the position “at the top of the mast” is correlated with the height of the drill rods installed or removed at the same time.
  • the position “at the bottom of the mast” is in the area of the so-called drill floor and slightly above the drill floor.
  • a single drill rod When installing and removing the drill string, a single drill rod (single stand) can be installed or removed. However, it is common to simultaneously install or remove two boring bars (double stand), three boring bars (triple stand) or possibly even more than three boring bars.
  • an individually installed or removed drill rod or several simultaneously installed or removed drill rods are referred to collectively as a drill rod element in the interest of better readability of the wide ren description.
  • the drill string is briefly explained using the example of removal.
  • the drill string is lifted by means of the top drive (load travel) and pulled out of the borehole piece by piece.
  • the removal of a drill string can be thought of as being divided into six essential and cyclically repeating steps (see also the illustration in Figure 3 and the associated explanation):
  • Step 1 The Topdrive moves to the "up in the mast” position.
  • the Topdrive is coupled to the upper end of the drill string.
  • the drill string is raised to a height at which a drill string element (single stand, double stand etc.) ) is located over its entire length above the drill floor. In this raised position, the drill string is initially held with the Topdrive until the load is transferred.
  • a drill string element single stand, double stand etc.
  • Step 2 In order to be able to decouple the top drive from the drill string, the drill string is axially fixed in order to take over the load from the top drive. Such a fixation takes place, for example and in a manner known per se, by means of wedges, namely by means of wedges in the drill floor. By means of such a fixation, the drill string is held independently of the top drive. The top drive continues to serve as a guide for the extracted drill rod element.
  • Step 3 The extracted drill pipe element is guided by a machine, which is often referred to as a pipe handler in technical terms. This functions as a rod handling device and is referred to below as a rod handling device. To take over the leadership of the extracted drill pipe element, the rod handling device engages in a manner known per se on the drill pipe element.
  • Step 4 The top drive can be detached from the drill string after such a load transfer / takeover (step 2) and after such a takeover of the leadership of the extracted drill rod element (step 3) and is released from the drill string.
  • Step 5 A system of pliers known per se grips the connection point between the extracted drill rod element and the rest of the drill rod element above the drill floor
  • the top drive uncoupled from the drill string remains at the top of the mast because the pulled-out Bohrge rod element is in the center of the borehole and the way for the top drive to descend is blocked.
  • Step 6 The extracted and separated from the drill string drill rod element is removed from the area above the center of the borehole by means of the rod handling device and, for example, placed next to the drill mast, in particular in a so-called finger platform.
  • the order of the steps can also be varied, such that first the first step, then the second step, then the fifth step, then the third step, then the fourth step and finally the sixth step are carried out.
  • the area above the center of the borehole is free again in the vertical direction.
  • the Topdrive can be lowered into the position "down in the mast” (empty run) and is there again coupled to the drill string. Now the drill string is raised again by means of the Topdrive (new load run) and the Topdrive moves another piece with it The drill string pulled out of the borehole is again in the "top of the mast” position.
  • This process (steps 1 to 6) is repeated many times until the entire drill string has been pulled out of the borehole. The same applies in reverse for installing a drill string and order accordingly.
  • the crown bearing is movable at least between the position of the center of the borehole and a retracted position, a top drive that can be moved between the position above the center of the borehole and a retracted position can perform an empty trip in the retracted position.
  • the Topdrive moves parallel to the axis of the drill string and in a plane parallel to the axis of the drill string.
  • the ropes of the pulley system between the crown bearing and the top drive run parallel or at least essentially parallel to the axis of the drill string.
  • the course of the ropes of the pulley system parallel or at least substantially parallel to the axis of the drill string is referred to below for short as the bottle pull system parallel to the drill string.
  • the empty run takes place, for example, while the extracted drill pipe element is separated from the drill string and / or parked next to the mast.
  • the Topdrive is again in the "down in the mast” position. Now - provided the separation and parking of the pulled-out drill rod element is complete - the crown bearing is moved back to the center of the borehole and the top drive is moved to the center of the borehole moved so that the Topdrive is again in the position "down in the mast"
  • Drill string can be coupled.
  • the time during which the Topdrive moves during the empty run parallel to the drill string element that has not yet been separated from the drill string or has not yet been parked is now saved when removing the drill string. This gain in time results from every empty trip (when removing the
  • Drill string and the same when installing the drill string results in a significant reduction in the time it takes to remove and install a drill string, i.e. a significant reduction in the duration of a round trip.
  • an advantage of the innovation proposed here is that diagonal pull in the pulley system is avoided.
  • a diagonal pull in the pulley system results when - as is known from offshore drilling rigs - the top drive is moved from the position above the center of the borehole (under the crown bearing) to a retracted position.
  • An inclined pull leads in an unfavorable way to horizontal loads in the leadership of the top drive.
  • Another advantage of the innovation proposed here is that a smaller horizontal travel path is necessary for the top drive between its position above the center of the borehole and the retracted position.
  • the retracted position In the case of offshore drilling rigs and the mobility of the top drive between the center of the borehole and the retracted position, the retracted position must be so far removed from the position above the center of the borehole that the pulley system can collide with an extracted drill rod element, in particular with the upper end of the withdrawn one Drill rod element, can be safely excluded.
  • the spreading device which light this route, must be designed accordingly. The bigger the driving away, the greater the forces acting on the spreading device.
  • possible smaller distance between the retracted position and the center of the borehole thus reduces the forces acting on the Spreizeinrich device. This reduced load increases their service life and makes a less complex design of the spreading device possible.

  • the crown bearing can be moved by means of a positioning device (Kronenlagerpo sitioning novice) at least between a first position (center of the borehole) and a second position (retracted position) and, when the drilling rig is in operation, through the positioning device into the first position or the second position is moved.
  • the crown bearing is preferably translationally movable, namely translationally in a direction transverse to the direction of movement of the top drive in the mast.
