摘要:
An apparatus for facilitating the connection or disconnection of a tubular to or from a string of tubulars, which apparatus comprises a weight compensating device (20) which can be suspended from a travelling block (6) or a top drive characterised in that said apparatus further comprises at least one bail (2) which can support a primary elevator (10) and which can, in use, be raised and lowered by said weight compensating device (20) to enable a tubular (32) to be raised and lowered with respect to a string of tubulars and which can move to a load bearing position in which it can raise and lower said string of tubulars. An apparatus for facilitating the connection or disconnection of a tubular to or from a string of tubulars, which apparatus comprises a weight compensating device (20) which can be suspended from a travelling block (6) or a top drive characterised in that said apparatus further comprises a member (42) which can support a primary elevator (10) and which can, in use, be raised and lowered by said weight compensating device (20) to enable a tubular (32) to be raised and lowered with respect to a string of tubulars and which can move to a load bearing position in which it can raise and lower said string of tubulars wherein said weight compensating device (20) is arranged between said travelling block (6) or said top drive and said primary elevator (10). This invention also provides a method, a device and an elevator.

摘要:
An apparatus (101) is provided with position sensors. When the apparatus (101) has moved one tubular into alignment with another tubular a button on a remonte control console is pressed to memorise the position. After the next tubular has been gripped by the apparatus a 'recall' button is pressed and the apparatus (101) automatically moves the next tubular to the memorised position. This saves vital seconds in joining tubulars and also reduces the likelihood of threads being damaged due to misalignment of the tubulars.
摘要:
An elevator for lifting at least one tubular in an oil or gas rig, said elevator comprising at least two body parts (14, 16) which together define an opening, characterised in that said at least two body parts (14, 16) are hinged at least two opposing ends thereof. An elevator for lifting at least one tubular in an oil or gas rig, characterised in that said elevator comprises at least one roller (46, 46') disposed therein, such that, in use, said at least one roller (46, 46') facilitates movement of a tubular arranged in said elevator. An apparatus for lifting at least one tubular in an oil or gas rig, said apparatus comprising an elevator (12) and means for supporting said elevator characterised in that said means comprises an elastic strap (50).
