Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a pipe handling system for use with a tubular joining system (such as a welding or forging assembly) located on a drilling rig at a wellbore. In one aspect, a method of forming a string of pipe using a joining assembly at a wellbore is provided. The joining assembly includes an internal joining tool and an external joining tool. The method includes the step of picking up the pipe joint using an elevator. The method further includes the step of positioning a lower end of the pipe joint adjacent an end of a string of pipe disposed in the external joining tool. The method also includes the step of moving the internal joining tool from a first position to a second position relative to the elevator, wherein the second position is between the pipe joint and the string of pipe. The method further includes the step of forming a connection between the pipe joint and the string of pipe. The method further includes the step of gripping the pipe joint with a gripping tool and releasing the elevator from the pipe joint. Additionally, the method includes the step of lowering the pipe joint and the string of pipe into the wellbore. In another aspect, a method of forming a string of pipe using a joining assembly on a rig is provided. In a further aspect, a pipe handling system for locating a pipe joint in a joining assembly that includes an internal joining tool and an external joining tool is provided.

Abstract: A first tubular handling tool comprises an electronic control system, a sensor, and a sensor. The controller is configured to control actuation of the first tubular handling tool in response to an electronic signal received from the sensor that corresponds to an operational characteristic of the first tubular handling tool. The tubular handling system comprises a bail assembly and is configured to move a tubular relative to the tubular handling tool. A first sensor is configured to transmit a signal to the electronic control system corresponding to an angular position of the bail assembly, wherein the electronic control system is configured to actuate the bail assembly based on the angular position. Furthermore it is claimed a method of actuating a bail assembly of a tubular handling tool wherein an electronic signal is received from a first sensor corresponding to an angular position of the bail assembly relative to the tubular handling tool. A valve is actuated which controls fluid communication to a piston/cylinder assembly that actuates the bail assembly based on the angular position. In a next step the method actuates the bail assembly between a location beneath the tubular handling tool and a location outward of the tubular handling tool.
