' CALIFORNIA WEAR PREvENTER FoR DRILL PIPE Application filed September 26, 1927. Serial No. 222,173.
Our invention relates to well drilling equipment, and relates particularly to antifrictionbearing for drill pipe.
' In the oil producing industry it is common practice to use rotary'equipment which employs a rotary bit for sinkingthe hole.
of a string of drill pipe which extends upward through the well to a' point above the surface of the ground. The drill pipe is rotated by means ofa rotary machine localtgd e drill pipe consists of stands of pipe which are connected together by tool joints. Each stand of pipe is about eighty'feet long and consists of four lengths'of pipe which are attached together by ordinary sleeve couplings. When the drill pipe is withdrawn from the well, it is broken at the tooljoints. Wells are almost always crooked and for this reason the drill. pipe, usually the tool joint portions thereof, will engage one side of the well casing which isinstalled inthe well. The friction between the drill pipe and the well casing causes both of them to wear. The greatest damage is done to the well casing-and very often a hole is worn therein which will permit water to enter the well. This is very detrimental to the well since the water may mix with the oil and form the objectionable emulsion. It is very difficult to locate Water leaks and many cases are known wherethe well has been abandoned because'the operators could not find where It is an object of this invention to provide an anti-friction bearing which may be placed on the drill pipe at various places, at the well, and after the parts of the drill pipe have been assembled. The anti-friction bear? ing prevents the drill pipe or the well casing from being worn.
It is a further object of the invention to provide an anti-friction bearing of the character mentioned inwhich the parts may be easily assembled.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a wear preventer in which the impacting of this wear preventer againstthe well casing will not injurethe well casing.
Other. objects andv advantages of the inventionwill be made evident hereinafter. Referring to the drawings. in which we illustrate our invention,
Fig. 1 is adiagrammatic View illustrating its utility. This rotary bit is attached to the lower end Fig. 2 is an enlargedelevational View of a wear preventer of the invention.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is aplan view of the invention :tFaken as indicated by the arrows 44 of Fig. 5 is a section taken on the line 55 of Fig. 3.
Fig. 6 is a section taken on the line 66 of Fig. 3. i x
' Fig. 7 is a sectional View showing an alternative form of the invention.
Referring to the drawings in detail, 11 is a well having a well casing 12 installed therein. The well is being deepened by a bit 13 which is secured to the lower end of a string of drillpipe 14, this drill pipe l4'consisting of stands of pipe connected together by tool joints 16.. The upper end of the drill pipe 14 extends through a. rotary table 17, by means of which it is driven, and has a swivel head 18 attached thereto. Rotary mud for the bit is supplied to the drill pipe 14 by a slush pump 20 connected to the swivel head by a stand pipe and hose 21 and 22 respectively. Our inventionis indicated in Fig.1 by the numeral 25. Wear preventers of the invention may be connected to the drill pipe 14 at spaced intervals throughout the length of the drillpipe so as to prevent both the drill pipe and tool joints from engaging the well casing. The details of the wear preventer of this invention are illustrated in Figs. 2 to 7.
Referring particularly to'Figs. 3 to 6 inclusive, our invention provides a pair of supporting members 27 which comprise a sup-' porting means of the invention. These supporting members 27 have cylindrical portions 28 which are adapted to fit against the outer face of the drill pipe 14. Extending out ward from the cylindrical portions are annular radial flanges or plates 29 which are spaced apart as illustrated best inFig. 3.
Figs. 3 and 6, which are preferably made of,
rubber or other resilient material and which gript e periphery of the drill pipe.
Carried between the plates 29 and around the adjacent ends of the cylindrical portions 28 is an engagement member 34. This engagement member 34 is preferably madeof a resilient material such as rubber or rubber composition. The inner part thereof is provided with .a tough reinforcement ring 35 which may be a hard fibrous material, if desired. The upper and lower faces of the engagement member 34 are provided with annular bearing members 36 having outer flat bearing faces 37 which are adapted to engage inner bearing faces 38 of the plates 29. The bearing members may be made of a suitable bearing material.
- 1 In this form of the invention the engagement member 34 is centralized with respect to the supporting members 27 and the drill pipe, by means of annular projections 39 carried on the .inner surfaces of plates 29 which extend inward into annular grooves ,40 provided in the bearing members 36.
This arrangement permits a relative rotational movement between the engagement member .34 and the supporting members 27 but prevents any lateral or radial relative movement.
In the operation of the invention, thedrill pipe and the tool joints 16 are held away from the well casing 12 by means of the engage .ment member 34 which contacts (if neces sary) the casing 12, as indicated in Fig. 3. This contact will prevent the engagement member 34 from rotating with the drill pipe 14. The friction is taken bythe plates 29 and the bearing members 36 which are especially designed to withstand wear. As noted in Fig. 3 there is a slight space between the engagement member and the plates 29 for proper. lubrication; The engagement member 34 being made of a resilient material will not in any way injure the well casing 12.
This engagement member will absorb any percussion shocks which may be created by the pounding of it against the well casing.
From the foregoing description it will be seen that the invention wholly protects the drill pipe and tool joints from. engagement with the casing so that there will be no wear eitherv on the drill pipev and tool joints or on the well casing. By making the engagement member 34 of a resilient material, any pounding action of the engagement member against the well casing will not in any way damage the casing.
.Another form of the invention is illustratedin Fig. 7. The parts in this form of the invention with a few exceptions are the *same and therefore similar numerals will be provided.
In this formof the invention the annular projections indicated by the numerals are provided on the bearing members36 and project into annular grooves 51 formed on the i inner faces of the plates 29.
