20110094800 | Method for Control of a Drilling Operation - A method for controlling a drilling operation, in particular in production or exploration drilling for hydrocarbons, in which a drill bit is arranged on an end of a drill string and, by rotation and pressure against an underground formation, is arranged to form a borehole, and in which a drilling fluid is circulated through a pipe bore into the borehole at the drill bit to convey cuttings out of the borehole. The method comprises the steps of: providing data on the particle size distribution of the cuttings; comparing the provided particle size distribution with data for the desired particle size distribution when drilling in the underground formation of interest; and adjusting the critical control parameters of the drilling operation with the aim of achieving a cuttings particle size distribution which corresponds, to the greatest extent possible, to the desired particle size distribution. | 04-28-2011 |
20120000671 | Method for Withdrawal and Insertion of a Drill Pipe String in a Borehole and Also a Device for Use When Practising the Method - A device for tripping, in which, at a drill-floor opening which is arranged to receive a pipe string, two or more cooperating pipe-handling units are arranged, each, independently of the other(s) or in cooperation with the other(s), being arranged to releasably hold the pipe string fixed and to move the pipe string in its axial direction, and also to move a pipe section in the axial direction of the pipe string and rotate the pipe section around the axis of the pipe string. | 01-05-2012 |
20120118570 | Device for a Downhole Apparatus for Machining of Casings and Also a Method of Depositing Machined Shavings - There is described a device for machining apparatus arranged for machining of a portion of a casing positioned in a wellbore, wherein a return fluid conduit extends from the machining apparatus in a direction toward a deposit area arranged in the wellbore. Also described is a method for machining of a portion of a casing positioned in a wellbore, wherein the method comprises the steps of: arranging a return fluid conduit between a machining apparatus and a deposit area or an area connected to the deposit area, providing a particle carrying liquid flow (M) in a direction from the machining apparatus and toward the deposit area, during the machining of the casing leading metal shavings into the liquid flow (M), and directing the liquid flow (M) into the return fluid conduit, as the metal shavings are held back and deposited in the wellbore. | 05-17-2012 |
20120261195 | Tool Guide Device for a Drill Floor - A device is for vertical tool guiding for a drill floor. On the drill floor is arranged at least one rig. Each rig is arranged on a rig foundation supported on the drill floor rotatably about a first, vertical axis (A) and arranged to be able to displace a tool in a horizontal working sector (S | 10-18-2012 |
20130014937 | Rotary Table Device for a Pipe StringAANM Krohn; HelgeAACI SandnesAACO NOAAGP Krohn; Helge Sandnes NOAANM Kalvatn; OveAACI StavangerAACO NOAAGP Kalvatn; Ove Stavanger NOAANM Grinrod; MadsAACI StavangerAACO NOAAGP Grinrod; Mads Stavanger NOAANM Skjaerseth; Odd B.AACI StavangerAACO NOAAGP Skjaerseth; Odd B. Stavanger NO - A rotary table device is provided with means arranged for suspension of a pipe string. The rotary table comprises a rotary ring arranged rotatably about the central axis of the rotary table. The rotary ring is formed by two or more ring sections, each connected to a system comprising a bearing housing section rotatable relative to a base section, a bearing housing groove being formed in a base contact surface on the bearing housing section and a corresponding base groove being formed in an opposing bearing housing surface in the base section. The grooves form a curve-shaped track for a roller body and the groove has a curvature center coinciding with the central axis of the rotary table. The rolling diameter of the roller body exceeds the collective depth of said grooves, and a channel connecting the end portions of the bearing housing groove is formed in the bearing housing section. | 01-17-2013 |
20130192895 | Device and Method for Drilling with Continuous Tool Rotation and Continuous Drilling Fluid Supply - A device is for a drilling rig for forming of a bore hole in a subterranean structure. The drilling rig comprises a first, top driven drilling machine arranged vertically displaceable along a guide track, where a second drilling machine is arranged between the first drilling machine and the bore hole, vertically displaceable along a guide track and provided with a rotary table arranged to be able to take the weight of a pipe string. A rotary drive unit is arranged for continuous rotation of the pipe string. A fluid chamber is arranged to, in a fluid communicating way, be able to connect a pipe string end portion with a drilling liquid plant. As the fluid chamber is provided with pipe string ports comprising means arranged to, in a fluid sealing way, be able to close the pipe string ports. A power tong is arranged for continuous rotation of an element connected to the pipe string, as the power tong is arranged in the fluid chamber. Also, a method is for drilling with continuous tool rotation and continuous drilling liquid supply. | 08-01-2013 |
