    摘要: An apparatus for injection of coiled tubing or jointed tubulars into a well bore, using an injector head capable of handling either type of tubular. The injector head and a working platform are mounted on a structure over the well head, with the injector being positioned so as to allow personnel access to the tubing on the working platform without having to relocate the injector head away from the well head location. The injector can be mounted below the working platform, or it can be mounted spaced above the working platform on a vertically movable trolley on a mast. When the injector is mounted below the working platform, the tubulars and any bottom hole assembly are accessible to personnel on top of the working platform, whether coiled tubing or jointed tubulars are being used. When the vertically movable trolley is used for coiled tubing operations, the injector head can be lowered to the working platform for injection or pulling operations, and it can be raised above the working platform to give access to the tubing and the bottom hole assembly. When the vertically movable trolley is used for jointed tubular operations, the injector head can be raised above the working platform for all phases, and a movable mandrel can be used in the injector head for raising or lowering the jointed tubulars.

    摘要: This invention provides a tubing injection system that contains one injector for moving a tubing from a source thereof to a second injector. The second injector moves the tubing into the wellbore. In an alternative embodiment for subsea operations, the system may contain a first injector placed under water over the wellhead equipment for moving the tubing to and from the wellbore. A second injector at the surface moves the tubing to the first injector and a third injector moves the tubing from the tubing source to the second injector. In each of the tubing injection systems sensors are provided to determine the radial force on the tubing exerted by the injectors, tubing speed, injector speed, and the back tension on the source. A control unit containing a computer continually maintains the tubing speed, tension and radial pressure on the tubing within predetermined limits. The control unit is programmed to automatically control the operation of the tubing injection systems according to programs or models provided to the control unit.

    摘要: The present invention provides a drilling rig which includes an electrically-controllable tubing injection system. The injection system contains a fixed injector head with two movable injection blocks which are remotely operable to provide a desired opening therebetween. Each injection block contains a plurality of gripping members for holding a range of tubing sizes. The injection blocks automatically adjust to provide the required gripping force and tubing speed according to programmed instructions. A resilient tubing guidance system is positioned above the injector head directs the tubing into the injector head. The rig system contains sensors for determining the radial force on the tubing exerted by the injector head, tubing speed, injector head speed, weight-on-bit during the drilling operations, bulk weight of the drill string, compression of the tubing guidance memeber during operations and the back tension on the tubing reel. During operations, a control unit continually maintains the tubing speed, tension on chains in the injector head, radial pressure on the tubing within predetermined limits. Additionally, the control unit maintains the back tension on the reel and the position of the tubing guidance system within their respective predetermined limits. The control unit also controls the operation of the wellhead equipment. During removal of the tubing from the wellbore, the control unit operates the reel and the injector head to remove the tubing from the wellbore.

    摘要: A method of forming a supported subterranean well bore in which, in one disclosed embodiment, a first drill bit is mounted on a first string of casing tubulars via a steerable tool, and the drill bit is used to form a first bore. Upon reaching the required depth the casing string is cemented in place to support the formed bore and a second drill bit is mounted on a second casing string and is inserted into the first casing string. The second drill bit is used to drill through the wall of the first casing string and proceed to form a second, deeper bore. Once the second drill bit has reached the required depth, the second casing string is cemented in place to support the second bore.
