The innovative approach to environmental safety upgrade of pumping-circulatory equipment of drilling rigs based on the analysis of life history and continuous perfection principles. Examples of implementation of innovative approach in environmental safety investigation of oil and gas wells in order to define environmentally hazardous units of equipment and technological processes are given. In order to solve the problem of environmental safety improvement and the effectiveness of flushing out of well that are being drilled a modernized scheme of drilling rig pumping-circulatory system has been designed. System approach of modernizing separate elements of pumping-circulatory system has been used. The maximum air-tight pumping-circulatory drilling rig system has been designed. The proposed model takes into account the necessity of hazardous evaporations outlet with the aim of their further utilization. Such an approach will avoid the entry harmful substances into the environment and prevent harmful effects of aggressive substances on health personnel of drilling rig, environment and on state of the technological equipment.
Improving the efficiency of repair work in elimination of drilling pipe accidents in the well is an urgent task of oil companies and is achieved through usage of special devices and tools. Authors patented and manufactured a device for unscrewing pipes in casing with a nominal diameter of D = 114 mm. Cycle of the device for unscrewing pipes in the well consists of three periods: freewheeling, jamming of the carrier of the device for unscrewing the trapped pipes and the period of wedging. The article analyses the operating conditions of the device locking unit during the first two periods. Formulas for determining the force of pressing the cams to the casing during freewheel, as well as the moment of friction forces and friction power for this case are proposed. We obtain the dependence of the maximum allowable initial angle of jamming on the coefficient of friction and geometric parameters of the device.
It is planned to test the device for unscrewing pipes in industrial conditions of LLC "Factorial" (Poltava).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
