Drill string

The bit is attached at the end of the drill string at the bottom of the well, or hole. The drill string connects the bit to the handling equipment at the surface of the rig (is composed only of the drill pipe and tool joints)

10
New cards

Drill pipe

and the potential for rotation issues. It involves using a square or hexagonal tool to transmit torque to the drill bit.

20

Some specs

21
New cards

Top Drive

A drilling system that allows for the rotation of the drill string from the top of the derrick, improving efficiency and reducing the risk of issues associated with traditional rotary systems. Less connections and quicker tripping times.

Components:

• C – IBOP (both manual and pneumatic operated)

• D – Rotating Head

• E – Top drive motor

New cards

Vertical Subsea Tree

valves in a vertical bore

Advantages:

• Vertical trees require only one time BOP nipple down.

• No wireline plug to be removed from a tree for a well intervention program.

• Better for fields that don’t expect to do workover or have small chance of doing the workover

• Simpler and cheaper to change a vertical tree when compared to a horizontal tree

• Disadvantages:

• If the workover operations such as recompletion, changing tubing, installing extra downhole tools, etc. are required, a vertical tree must be removed in order to install BOP on top of the well.

83
New cards

Horizontal Subsea tree

valves in a horizontal configuration

Advantages:

• Better for fields that expect to do workover quite often because a tree does not need to be removed.

• Can have a larger bore tubing

• Lower total height of a tree

• Disadvantages:

• Less flexibility for operation if the delivery of a tree is delayed.

• Two runs for subsea BOP and riser are required

• Completion string must be removed if replacement of a tree is needed.

• Two wireline plugs (crown plugs) must be removed before starting any well intervention program. There have been several cases when people have faced a lot of difficulty for removing the plugs. This can lead to extra time and cost forthe operation
