    摘要: A method including acquiring measurements representing torque applied to a connection between a first tubular and a second tubular, a rotational position of the first tubular relative to the second tubular, or both, obtaining a plurality of make-up parameters representing conditions under which the connection is fully made, generating a plurality of rules for connection evaluation based on the make-up parameters, and automatically evaluating the connection using a computer. Automatically evaluating includes applying machine learning, the plurality of rules, or a combination thereof to a dataset of the measurements. The method also includes recommending accepting or rejecting the connection based on the automatic evaluation.

    摘要: A tubular handling system and method, of which the tubular handling system includes a power tong configured to engage and rotate an add-on tubular by applying a torque thereto, the power tong defining a central opening configured to receive the add-on tubular therethrough, a spider disposed at a rig floor, the spider being configured to support a tubular string, a lifting assembly coupled with the power tong and configured to move the power tong vertically with respect to the tubular string and the spider, and a torque-measuring device configured to measure a reactionary torque transmitted from the power tong to the lifting assembly.

    摘要: A tong for applying torque to a tubular and a method of using a tong, of which the tong includes a rotary ring defining an inner profile through which the tubular is received, the inner profile defining a plurality of pockets extending radially outward and a plurality of cam surfaces circumferentially between the plurality of pockets, and a plurality of engaging members disposed within the rotary ring. The plurality of engaging members are movable from a retracted position at least partially in the plurality of pockets to an engaging position in which the plurality of engaging members are positioned along the plurality of cam surfaces. The tong also includes a plurality of cam followers extending through the rotary ring, and a worm drive including a helical ridge. The plurality of cam followers engage the helical ridge so as to transmit a substantially tangential force to the rotary ring.
