workover rig tripping pipe for sale

Tripping refers to the process of removing and/or replacing pipes from the well when it is necessary to change the bit or other piece of the drill string, or when preparing to run certain tests in the well bore.

The Attorneys at Spurgeon Law Firm know what it’s like to spend countless hours tripping pipe on a drilling rig. Stephen and Sam both have experience working on drilling rigs where they have roughnecked on Kelly and rotary drilling rigs.

Running in the hole or pulling out of the hole (aka tripping pipe) is one of the most labor intensive job tasks a worker will engage in while on a drilling rig. Long hours of throwing the slips in, breaking or making connections, and racking back stands of pipe in the derrick is mentally and physically exhausting whereby your brain will start to populate abnormal thoughts. Your mind will start to drift due to fatigue and exhaustion and thus cause you to lose focus on the job at hand. Because of this, people are more susceptible of making mistakes, which in turn will cause injury to themselves or someone else. This is why it is imperative that companies have adequate personnel on the job and to allow that personnel to take breaks as needed. Your safety should be priority and always put your health first and the company’s profit second.

Workover rigs are specialized rigs designed for carrying out certain operations in a well. Drillmec is a leader in the production of specialized service rigs, we have rigs that cover a variety of workover operations in the oil and gas industry. Our service rigs have a wide range of applications and provide the best performance in different situations. Drillmec’s mobile drilling rigs are self-propelled, and trailer mounted for easy transportation for a variety of workover well services.

We manufacture a full range of workover rigs with capacities between 60 to 250 metric tons for a variety of well service applications. Our rigs are designed to be electrically or mechanically driven and are built to withstand varying extreme climatic conditions and a variety of terrains. Whether scorching heat of the desert or the bitter cold in the polar region or even the extreme elevation changes of Utica shale, our rigs are ready to deliver optimal performance always.

The drilling tool is connected drill rod for transferring power. The drill string is usually part are: drill, drill collars, drilling pipe, stabilizers, special connectors and Kelly. The basic role of the drill string are: (1)control the drill bit; (2) imposed WOB; (3) transmission of power; (4) transporting drilling fluid; (5) special operations: extrusion of cement, handling underground accidents.

Drilling pipe is trailing with screw thread for connecting the drilling rig located at the bottom of surface drilling equipment and mill equipment or bottom outlet device. The purpose is to drill the drilling mud delivered to the drill bit, and drill with the increase, decrease or rotating bottom outlet means. Drill pipes must be able to withstand great external pressure, twisting, bending and vibration. In the mining and oil and gas refining process, the drill pipe can be used multiple times.

In API 5DP specifciations, the common use OD are 2 3/8”, 2 7/8” and 3 1/2” drill pipes, these usually required in large amount of quantities in drilling activities.

Heavy weight drill pipe is a medium-weight drilling pipe, (referred standards in API SPEC 7-1). It has bigger wall thickness than common drilling pipe and smaller than drill collar. The tube is connected with special length-added drill pipe joint (integral heavy weight drill pipe is made up of tube and tool joint). Among assemblies, it is generally added between drill pipe and drill collar to prevent sudden changes in cross-section of drill string, and reduce its fatigue.

a. Heavy weight drill pipe could replace part of drill collar can reduce torque, improve load, and increase drilling capacity during deep well drilling.

Multiple drill stems are frequently attached together to reach the lowest point of the drilling project, which can measure several miles in depth. This practice makes various manufacturing details vital for the drill pipes to be useful and long-lasting. First, the metal must be strong enough to withstand both internal and external pressure differences, transfer the drill’s torque without affecting the pipe’s structure, and suspend the necessary components attached to its end. Ideally, the drill pipes are reused, especially the more expensive types. For exceptionally deep wells, tempered steel is the material of choice.

After use at one drilling job, the pipe drill is transported to another site and given a full inspection. The main goal is to determine if the apparatus is still strong enough to use at future jobs before it is offered as a drill pipe for sale. Experts use various tools such as modified spherometers and ultrasonic metal testing gear to check for any weaknesses in the metal. The results of these tests give the drilling pipe its classification. New, unused ones get the N designation, P is used for premium grade, and C1, C2, and C3 based on various stages of wear. After a pipe gets lower than a C3 score, a red band signifies it as scrap metal.

As the drill pipe is only part of the complete apparatus needed for these types of drilling jobs, the bottom hole assembly also needs to be inspected. This BHA is a tube-shaped piece near the drill bit that is crafted of heavier and stronger metal.

Pipe drills for sale do not start out as solid metal sheets rolled into tubes. Instead, three pieces are welded together to form the entire apparatus. These include the tube itself, the box tool joint, and the pin tool joint. The manufacturing company starts with base tubes of steel or aluminum. The tube ends undergo processes to rough up the metal in order to make tighter bonds. This process is called upsetting and can be done internally, externally, or at cross sections. Different manufacturers use different types and sizes of steel pipe upset. Finally, the pipes are heat treated to achieve proper strength.

All necessary pipe drill connectors and joint pieces undergo similar treatments at the manufacturing plant. Connectors are transformed into female or male box or pin threaded ends. In the finished pipe assembly, the connectors at joints represent the most likely point of damage or failure. This is due to the lower temperature tempering, and the additional stiffness or brittleness of the metal. The stronger the steel, the more brittle it is, so manufacturing plants use precise measurements to avoid failure during the drilling process.

When you need drill pipe for your company’s drilling needs, understanding the different steps of the manufacturing process can bring you the best possible outcome on site. A trusted source follows the best practices for choosing and tempering metals, upsetting connective ends, and building joints and connectors that stand strong under pressure.

This is a standard calculation in every IWCF test paper that requires you to work out the pressure drop per foot pulling pipe dry and wet out of hole. They made up a formulas ready for punching in numbers and use hand held calculator to work out. Put the principle behind this formula is never explained in the IWCF course. Either the instructor does not have enough time to go into explanation nor he does not bother it, or even he assumed everyone taking IWCF would get to the root of it. To me this is not satisfactory if I go to a course to get license and the instructor does not give a decent answer. That’s why I am making the explanation right below for this topic to help those who like to get to know the principle.

The float in the BHA is functioning as it is designed for or it stops functioning at the open position. The pipe is pulled out of hole and the hydrostatic of the mud column inside string pushes mud back down through float port/flap.

Only the pipe metal is out of hole, the mud stays back. Hence the mud level in the pipe and in the annulus will drop. This drop is caused by the volume of pipe metal pulled out of hole.

To work out the Pressure Drop Per Foot we have to find out how much the fluid level drops when we pull the pipe 1 ft out of hole. We’ve got the Volume loss per foot out of hole, let’s now convert this volume to height:

We need to find out capacity of 1 ft when 1ft of Dry Pipe is out of hole. Remember the fluid stays back in the hole, so it is the volume of 1 foot column of mud left when 1 foot pipe metal is pulled out:

Tripping wet means either the float is at CLOSE position or string is plugged off. So every foot we POOH, we pull out both pipe metal and the mud inside the pipe. Mud does not flow out from the bit.  We call this Closed End Displacement bbl/ft. The principle is similar to DRY case, just change the figures as following:
