Definitions
- This invention concerns floating drilling platforms or vessels, particularly oil well drilling platforms of the type which are connected to the sea bed by a tubular sleeve known as a marine riser, down through which the drill and drill string extends to the sea bed from the platform and in which fluid is forced under pressure around the cutting end of the drill in the bore in the sea bed and is recovered as a mud which is forced under pressure up the inside of the marine riser.
- a tubular sleeve known as a marine riser
- the marine riser In order to accommodate heave of the platform due to movement of the sea, the marine riser includes a telescopic upper section, and the returning fluid (mud) is taken from above the telescopic join through a flow line to the mud processing plant.
- the invention is applicable to all drilling vessels of the type described but is of particular application to platforms during slimhole drilling in which the pump rate is relatively low.
- a drilling platform comprising a marine riser having a fluid outlet held in a fixed position relative to the sea bed, so that the flow pattern of the returning mud is decoupled from the heave motion of the platform.
- a flow measuring device is located at or near the fluid outlet.
- this may be achieved by using a tensioned wire or cable stretched between the sea bed and the platform, sometimes called a guideline tensioner; or alternatively where the riser is provided with tensioners the latter may be used.
- Returning mud may be led from the fixed position outlet directly to the shale shakers through a flexible hose and pipe, located and dimensioned so as not to generate back ⁇ pressure at the fluid flow measuring device as the platform heaves up and down.
- returning mud is tapped from the marine riser at a point just below the lower part of the telescopic section of the riser, and a feedpipe connects the tapping to an outlet manifold which is held stationary relative to the sea bed as by means of a tensioned wire.
- outlet manifold is kept approximately level with the top of the lower part of the telescopic section of the riser.
- a flexible hose connects the outlet manifold to fixed pipework mounted on the platform to deliver the returning mud directly to the shale shakers.
- the flexible hose therefore comprises the flexible coupling between the platform and the sea bed.
- the flexible hose, fed from the feedpipe is of larger diameter than the feedpipe, so that the flexible hose drains the feedpipe without creating back-pressure.
- a typical size for the flexible hose is 6" if the feedpipe is 4".
- the flexible hose is vented by means of a separate pipeline leading from a first point beyond and above its outlet end to a second point in the outlet manifold linking the feedpipe to the flexible hose.
- the said first venting point may be in the said housing.
- a non-return valve (or blocking valve) is employed to prevent fluid from getting into the air venting pipeline should the outlet manifold (between the feedpipe and the flexible hose) become full up.
- the flow meter By placing the flow meter in the feedpipe, below the outlet manifold, the flow meter will remain full at all times during operation.
- a secondary measure of flow can if desired be obtained by measuring the height of fluid in the marine riser, as by means of a pressure, proximity or level sensor.
- a short spool is installed in the riser between a fixed part thereof extending to the sea bed and the lower part of the telescoping section thereof, to provide an outlet connection to the feed pipe.
- valve means is provided to close off the spool outlet when the system is not in use or is to be disconnected.
- the valve means may in addition or alternatively be remotely controllable.
- the valve means may be self closing, should the control hoses fail.
- the said outlet manifold is attached to the tensioned wire using a self-tightening wire clamping unit, which may to advantage be remotely operable.
- the clamping unit is preferably such that it can be used to position the manifold and to be undamped when removing the manifold, as for example when using a tugger.
- the remote control of the valve means and/or the wire clamping unit is preferably by means of compressed air.
- the system can be flushed for cleaning and/or removing any build-up of cuttings by increasing the flow rate using the existing riser fill line to increase the flow through he outlet.
- the feedpipe may be self-supporting (or supported by a support member which is secured to and extends upwardly from the lower stationary section of the marine riser below the telescoping section).
- a support member which is secured to and extends upwardly from the lower stationary section of the marine riser below the telescoping section.
- the invention also lies in a semi-submersible oil drilling platform when fitted with an oil drilling mud treatment and recovery facility adapted to be linked to a marine riser having an outlet manifold for delivering drilling mud returned from the bore, wherein the outlet manifold is held stationary relative to the sea bed and is connected to the treatment and recovery facility by means of a flexible pipeline, to decouple the up and down movement of the facility from the manifold without generating back ⁇ pressure thereat.
- the invention also lies in a method of treating and recovering oil drilling mud from a bore in the sea bed via a fixed marine riser the upper end of which can telescope to accommodate up and down movement of a drilling platform attached thereto, comprising the steps of tapping the returning mud from a point on the riser below the telescoping upper end thereof and feeding the returning mud via a feedpipe to a manifold which is held stationary relative to the sea bed and is located at a level below the upper end of the lower fixed part of the two part telescoping section of the riser, so as to maintain a differential head between the level of the mud in the riser and that in the feedpipe sufficient to effect a substantially constant flow of mud therethrough, and feeding the mud from the manifold to mud treatment means via a pipeline at least a part of which is flexible and extends between the fixed manifold and the platform to decouple the up and down movement of the latter from the manifold without creating back-pressure thereat.
- the invention also lies in a marine riser for use with a drilling platform, down through which a drill carried by the rig can pass for drilling the sea bed below and up through which drilling mud is forced under pressure for recovery and treatment (particularly to remove rock cuttings from the mud well bore), wherein the riser includes an upper two-part telescoping section to accommodate up and down movement of the platform due to the movement of the sea, characterised in that a tapping is provided in the riser below the lower of the two parts making up the telescoping section, and a feedpipe is provided which extends upwardly to a fixed point approximately at the level of the upper end of the lower of the two telescoping parts.
- the precise position of the said fixed point is preferably adjustable and typically is determined by clamping to a tensioned wire, the lower end of which is anchored to the sea bed.
- the feedpipe may be self-supporting and/or may be attached via a steady to the marine riser and/or to a tensioned wire stretched from the sea bed to, for example, the platform.
- Figure 1 is a schematic illustration of a marine riser and return fluid discharge system incorporating the invention for use with a semi-submersible drilling rig (not shown) ;
- Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 but showing in greater detail an actual system as may be employed on a rig;
- Figures 3a - 3c illustrate how a constant head is maintained during displacement of a rig due to heave.
- Figure 4 is a modification of the embodiment of Figure 1 ;
- Figure 5 is a modification of Figure 4.
- FIGS 6 and 7 are further embodiments of the invention.
- FIG. 1 the floor of a rig is denoted by reference numeral 10 and a marine riser extending from the floor 10 to the sea bed is denoted generally by reference numeral 12.
- the riser passes through a blow-out preventer housing 1 located on the sea bed, and extends into the sea bed 16 and into the bore which is being drilled by a drilling head (not shown) at the lower end of a drill shaft 18. The latter extends co-axially down the centre of the marine riser 12.
- Drilling fluid is pumped down the hollow interior of the drill shaft 18 in the direction of arrow 20 from a reservoir and pump located on the rig (not shown).
- Hitherto drilling mud (a mixture of the original drilling fluid, solids, water, sand and the like) has been returned to the drilling platform through the marine riser and has been expelled from the upper end of the marine riser along an outlet tube 22 in the direction of arrow 24.
- the drilling platform or rig is a semi-submersible vessel which floats, the height of the rig above the sea bed 16 will vary due to movement of the sea, wave motion, tide etc.
- the marine riser 12 includes a telescoping section at its upper end.
- the upper end of the fixed section of the marine riser is formed by an outer sleeve 26 and the movable part of the marine riser comprises an inner sleeve 28 which is telescopically slidable within the stationary sleeve 26 and is sealed at 30 and 32 to prevent ingress of sea water and egress of mud etc.
- a spool 36 having a branch outlet or feedpipe 38 is located between the stationary telescoping part 26 and the fixed lower part of the marine riser.
- the feedpipe 38 extends not only laterally but also upwardly to a manifold 40 which is situated at a point approximately equal to the upper end of the stationary telescoping section 26.
- the height of the manifold 40 is determined by clamping it to a tensioned wire rope generally designated 42 which extends from the blow-out preventer housing 14 on the sea bed to the semi-submersible rig.
- a constant tension is maintained in the wire rope 42 such as to maintain at least that section of the rope between the manifold 40 and the sea bed straight and taught.
- the manifold 40 is thus maintained at a constant height above the sea bed irrespective of the level of the sea, which of course affects the height of the semi-submersible rig above the sea bed.
- the vertical position of the manifold 40 is initially adjusted such that, irrespective of the heave position of the rig, the mud always flows through the feedpipe 38, in preference to flowing up the inner sleeve 28 of the riser 12 and along the outlet tube 22.
- the differential head, indicated at H, between the level in the riser 12 and the level in the branch 38 constitutes the pressure required to cause flow in the branch outlet 38, and is a function of the pressure loss in the outlet 38 which in turn is a function of the flow properties of the mud and of its flow rate.
- a flow meter 44 is located at the upper end of the feedpipe 38 where the latter enters the manifold 40, and by locating this below the level to which the mud will rise in that branch, so the flow meter will always be full.
- a flexible hose or pipe 46 is connected to the manifold 40 for discharging mud, as will be described.
- the manifold may form part of a collection tank from which mud can be pumped.
- the important aspect is that flow through the meter 44 will be substantially constant provided the differential head, denoted by H in Figure 1, is maintained substantially constant during the drilling operation.
- the precise flow will be determined by the actual value of the differential head and the flow characteristics of the mud in the branch 38.
- a 20" differential head is equivalent to approximately 1200 litres per minute flow of mud through the branch 38 and the manifold 40.
- the manifold 40 merely serves to convey returning mud to the larger diameter flexible pipe 46 from which it can be discharged to a treatment device such as a vibratory screening apparatus or shale shaker to begin the process of separating solids from the fluids, as a first step to recovering the drilling mud originally pumped into the drill at 20.
- An important important additional advantage of the present invention is that the returning mud is fed to the treatment device at a constant flow rate, instead of the intermittent flow rate which occurs in conventional rigs during heave.
- the shale shakers can be adjusted for higher efficiency operation at such constant flow.
- the tensioned wire 42 is a convenient device for maintaining the manifold 40 at a fixed position; but it will be appreciated that if the branch tube 38 is made sufficiently rigid and self-supporting so as to carry the weight of the flow compensator assembly via the riser 12 (which is itself rigid and fixed to the seabed), the wire 42 can then be dispensed with.
- the mud treatment apparatus (not shown) to which the mud is directed in the direction of arrow 50 is of course mounted on the semi-submersible rig and is therefore subject to heave as denoted by the arrow heads 52.
- the heave movement of the treatment apparatus is effectively decoupled from the branch tube 38 and the flow meter 44 by means of the flexible tube 46 and the air venting, so as to eliminate back-pressure.
- a flexible tube is shown linking the branch outlet to the manifold 40 and flow meter 44 and this is denoted by reference numeral 54.
- the flexible tube is connected by a gland 56 to a short rigid branch pipe 58 containing a shut-off valve 60 which is preferably remotely controllable.
- the discharge end of the flexible tube 46 communicates with a still larger diameter feed tube 62 for supplying the mud to the treatment apparatus such as a shale shaker (not shown).
- a flow pattern such as shown in Figure 2 can be established in which there is always a decoupling air space in the upper left hand section of the U-tube formed by the flexible pipe 46 in the volume denoted by reference numeral 66.
- Mud flowing through the flow meter 44 passes through the manifold 40 and runs down into the U-tube 46 and establishes a differential head K between the liquid level in the left hand branch and that in the right hand branch of the hanging flexible tube 46.
- the pipe 46 is a 30 foot length of pipe or hose having an internal diameter of 4", the pipe
- the pipe 46 is some 20 feet long of flexible material and has an internal diameter of 6" and the pipe 62 is a metal or other rigid material pipe of 9" internal diameter.
- the movement of the inner sleeve 28 within the outer sleeve 26 will in fact generate a small heave related volume variation. This can largely be overcome by inverting the telescoping part so that the stationary member of the two telescoping sleeves has the smaller diameter.
- Figures 3a-3c show the different positions of the flexible hose 46 during a heaving motion.
- Figure 3a illustrates the situation in which the rig is at the upper end of the heave amplitude, Figure 3b at a mid position and Figure 3c at the lower end of the travel occasioned by the heave.
- reference numeral 70 identifies the drill floor of the rig and reference numeral 72 the main deck of the rig. It is assumed that the treatment apparatus such as shale shakers is located on the main deck of the rig .
- Other parts identified in Figures 3a-3c are identified by the same reference numerals as are employed in Figures 1 and 2.
- warning means may be provided to indicate that such an excess has occurred since this could indicate a blockage in the branch line 54 or flow meter 44, manifold 40 or any of the other pipelines fed therefrom, or that there has been a sudden increase in pressure in the bore hole, and in any such situation a warning is required.
- a warning may for example be a pressure or level sensor within the telescoping member 28 just below the outlet 22 or may be a flow sensing device located in outlet 22 or in any pipe communicating therewith.
- Figure 4 shows a modification of the embodiment of Figure 1 to take account of the situation in which the mud treatment apparatus is at a higher level than the manifold 40.
- the mud is received into an intermediate tank 80 from where it is pumped by a pump 82 through a pipe 84.
- the mud is then fed in the direction of arrow 50 to the treatment apparatus (not shown) mounted at a height above the main deck 72 of the rig.
- a level sensor and/or control system 86 is provided at the tank 80 to control the output of the pump 82, to avoid the tank either overflowing or being pumped dry.
- the pump 82 may be a self-priming pump whose output is equal to or greater than the rate of circulation of the mud. In this case the complications of the sensor and control system 86 can be dispensed with, as the pump will then be self-regulating.
- Figure 5 shows a further modification of the arrangement of Figure 4.
- the pump 82 and tank 80 are mounted below the manifold 40 as an integral part thereof.
- Other reference numerals are as in Figure 4.
- the pump and tank could alternatively be mounted directly from the riser 12. This is shown in the embodiments of Figures 6 and 7.
- the marine riser 12 again has a telescopic joint section with an inner slip joint sleeve 28 slidable in an outer sleeve 26, as in Figure 1.
- an outer sheath 27 is additionally mounted around the sleeve 26 to provide an annulus 29 along which mud can flow.
- An outlet is formed at the top of the sheath 27 which is connected to the flow meter 44. From the meter the mud flows by gravity past a vacuum breaker 90 over a weir 92 and along the flexible pipe 46 to the shale shaker (not shown) on the deck 72 of the rig.
- FIG. 7 The arrangement in Figure 7 is similar to Figure .6 except that the mud is collected in a tank 80 below the weir 92. From the tank the mud is then fed by a pump 82, instead of by gravity, to the shale shaker (not shown).
- the present invention is of particular application to slimhole drilling where there is sufficient height between the outlet and the mud treatment apparatus (such as shale shakers) , as is found on the Sedco 707 Rig in the North Sea.
- the mud treatment apparatus such as shale shakers

Abstract
Plateforme de forage possédant une colonne montante marine (12) atteignant le fond de la mer et comprenant une évacuation de fluide sous forme d'une tuyauterie d'amenée (38) branchée sur un collecteur (49). Celui-ci est maintenu fixe par rapport au fond de la mer par un câble tendu (42) et fournit la boue fluide de retour par l'intermédiaire d'un tuyau flexible (46) à un tamis vibrant ou autre équipement de traitement des boues. Une autre solution consiste à récupérer la boue indirectement au collecteur par l'intermédiaire d'un réservoir de récupération (80) et d'une pompe (82). L'un des paramètres constamment surveillé est le débit de retour de la boue de forage, car toute variation soudaine de celui-ci peut correspondre, par exemple, à une admission de gaz ou de fluide dans le trou de forage. Malheureusement la variation de flux provoquée par la remontée et la descente de la section télescopique supérieure de la colonne montante marine, peut être telle qu'elle masque toute variation du débit et rend ainsi presque inutile le contrôle du débit instantané. Cet effet est fonction de l'amplitude et de la cadence de pilonnement et devient prédominant pour les faibles taux de pompage.
