    摘要: Slips (1, 21, 41) for engaging any jointed, coiled or flexible tubular with substantially no scoring, gouging or scraping, such as when supporting a drill string in a borehole or gripping a tubular (2, 22) during the connection or disconnection of a tool joint or pulling a cable or pipeline; additionally, applying a pre-determined minimum gripping force in order to avoid rotary slippage when the weight of the string is insufficient to achieve a conventional slips action; additionally, including a coarse wedge (30, 50) to take up the extra travel of a worn tool joint or a tubular of smaller diameter, with a means to ensure that the coarse wedge acts before the fine wedge (29, 49) does and a means to ensure that the wedging action remains if the actuating force is removed; additionally, including a secondary slips (40) to interfere with the upset on the tool joint to avoid relying on friction to support the string and a means of integrating this with the gripping slips and ensuring that the secondary slips act first; additionally, the application of these attributes 'upside down' to achieve the action of snubbing when forcing a tubular into compression instead of tension for any reason.

    摘要: A coupler and a method for continuously circulating a drilling fluid through a drill string while adding or removing tubulars has a lower fluid pressure seal adapted to engage a drill string; lower grips adapted to engage a drill string; a valve positioned above said lower grips; upper grips adapted to engage a tubular to be added to or removed from said string; and an upper fluid pressure seal adapted to engage said tubular.

    摘要: An underwater drilling rig in modular form, which can be simply assembled underwater and in which standard tubulars and tubular assemblies are stored in a novel arrangement within containers and can be added to, and removed from, the string in the well bore, whilst there is continuous circulation of drilling fluid and also continuous segregation of drilling fluid from the seawater; additionally: with a simple means of accessing the tubulars and gripping them from inside in order to make up tool joint connection to the top drive sub, with a means to guide and centralise each tubular or tubular assembly on entering the well bore or when being returned to storage, with a means to enable the top drive to snub with greatly reduced force and no risk of buckling the tubular; with a rig support vessel that, in the absence of a marine riser, drill string or drilling rig, is greatly reduced in size and can roam extensively to ride out bad weather, while the seabed rig continues to drill; lastly with the novel ability to control the mud pressure and flow both in and out of the well bore at seabed level, thus greatly improving downhole pressure strategy; ultimately the first system that can operate at water depths of 10,000 to 20,000 feet which is still beyond the current economic and technical ability of offshore drilling rigs.
