Base Beam

Base Beam

In oilfield workover operations, a base beam serves as a crucial stabilization system, acting as an alternative to ground anchors, particularly in challenging terrains, and ensuring the rig’s stability during operations.

Here’s a more detailed explanation of its purpose and function:

Purpose:

  • Stabilization: Base beams provide a stable foundation for well service rigs, especially in areas where traditional ground anchors are impractical or impossible to use (e.g., shallow soils, rugged terrain, swampy areas, permafrost, or shallow bedrock).
  • Alternative to Ground Anchors: They are a viable alternative to ground anchors, allowing for operations in a wider range of soil conditions and terrains.
  • Enhanced Stability: Base beams enhance stability, particularly near larger cellars on multiwall pad configurations.
  • Smaller Footprint: They contribute to a smaller footprint of a deployed well service rig.
  • Rig Up/Rig Down Times: Base beams can help decrease rig up and rig down times.
  • Safety and Efficiency: They are designed for safe, efficient, and economical operation.

Function:

  • Rig Stabilization:
    Base beams are designed to withstand the rigorous stresses of the oilfield and provide a stable platform for the well service rig during operations.
  • Guying Solutions:
    They are designed to meet the requirements of API RP 4G 14.3, which outlines best practices for well service rig stabilization.
  • Mobile Rig Operations:
    They are suitable for use with mobile rigs, allowing for flexibility in well servicing operations.
  • Blow Out Prevention Equipment:
    Base beams may be equipped with a stump or pedestal upon which Blow Out Prevention Equipment (BOPE) can be stored and transported.
  • Transportability:
    They are designed to be transported on truck trailers over long distances.
  • Engineering Standards:
    Base beams must be engineered to meet safety, performance, and fabrication optimization standards.
  • Industry Standard:
    Base beams have served as a standard form of well service rig stabilization for over 20 years.

Pipe Handler

Pipe Handler

IIn oilfield operations, a hydraulic pipe handler, also known as an “iron roughneck”, is a hydraulic device used to automate the make-up and break-out of drill pipe connections, reducing manual labor and improving safety.

Here’s a more detailed explanation:

  • Purpose:
    • The primary function of a hydraulic pipe handler is to automate the process of connecting and disconnecting drill pipes during drilling operations.
    • This automation reduces the physical strain on workers and minimizes the risk of injuries associated with manual handling of heavy pipes.
  • Function:
    • The hydraulic pipe handler uses hydraulic power to grip, rotate, and connect or disconnect drill pipe sections.
    • It can also be used to lift and move drill pipes, facilitating efficient handling and storage.
    • Some systems include features like automatic pipe racking and retrieval, further streamlining the process.
  • Benefits:
    • Increased Safety: By automating the process, hydraulic pipe handlers reduce the need for manual handling of heavy pipes, minimizing the risk of injuries and accidents.
    • Improved Efficiency: The automated nature of the system allows for faster and more efficient make-up and break-out of drill pipe connections.
    • Reduced Labor Costs: By automating the process, the need for manual labor is reduced, leading to lower labor costs.
    • Enhanced Rig Automation: Some hydraulic pipe handlers are designed to integrate with other rig automation systems, further streamlining operations
  • Types of Hydraulic Pipe Handlers:
    • Pipe Handler/Hydraulic Catwalk: This system is designed to pick up pipes from racks, raise them to the sub-floor of the workover rig, and push them to the rig hands.
    • Pipe Handling Systems: These systems are designed for onshore drilling rigs and include a TFM catwalk system to lift the pipes to the drill floor.
    • Drillmec Pipe Handling Systems: These systems can be integrated into Drillmec Hydraulic Drilling Rigs and Skid-mounted rotary drilling & workover rigs

Mud Mixing System

Mud Mixing System

In oilfield drilling, a mud mixing system prepares and maintains the drilling fluid (also known as drilling mud) by mixing and adding additives, ensuring it effectively cools, lubricates, and removes cuttings from the wellbore.

Here’s a more detailed explanation:

Purpose:

  • Preparing Drilling Fluid:
    The primary purpose is to create and maintain the drilling fluid, a mixture of water, oil, clay, and chemicals, that is essential for successful drilling operations.
  • Ensuring Proper Fluid Properties:
    The system ensures the drilling fluid has the right density, viscosity, and other characteristics to effectively perform its functions.
  • Adding Additives:
    The system allows for the controlled addition of various additives (like weighting agents, viscosity modifiers, etc.) to tailor the drilling fluid to specific well conditions.
  • Maintaining Mud Quality:
    The system helps to remove solids and other contaminants from the drilling fluid, ensuring its quality and preventing problems during drilling.

Functions of a Mud Mixing System:

  • Mixing:
    The system uses pumps and agitators to mix the drilling fluid components thoroughly, ensuring a homogeneous mixture.
  • Adding Additives:
    Specialized equipment, like sack cutting units and chemical injection units, are used to accurately add and mix additives into the drilling fluid.
  • Solids Control:
    Shale shakers, desanders, desilters, and other equipment are used to remove solids (like rock cuttings) from the drilling fluid, allowing for its reuse.
  • Storage and Handling:
    The system includes tanks and other storage components to hold and manage the drilling fluid, ensuring a continuous supply during drilling operations.
  • Circulation:
    Mud pumps are used to circulate the drilling fluid down through the drill string and back up the wellbore, carrying cuttings to the surface.
