Oil pipe elevator device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of petroleum workover operation, in particular to an oil pipe elevator device.
Background
In the prior art, two tubing elevators are used in alternating lifting and lowering tubing strings for oil well servicing operations. For example, during lifting operation, the wellhead christmas tree is lifted by a crane to expose the connected oil pipe short joint and the first oil pipe coupling, and then the oil pipe column is suspended under the first coupling by an oil pipe elevator, and the elevator is seated on the wellhead flange. And then two hanging rings of the large ditch of the traveling block are sleeved on the lifting lugs at two sides of the oil pipe elevator, and safety pins are inserted at two subsequent sides, so that the hanging rings are prevented from falling off. And releasing the threads of the first oil pipe and the second coupling. And then lifting the tubing string in the major ditch of the traveling crane, stopping the tubing string when the second coupling is exposed out of the sleeve flange plane and is higher than one tubing elevator, lifting the tubing string into the wellhead flange by the other tubing elevator, clamping the second coupling of the tubing, locking the lifted tubing, lowering the lifted tubing, discharging the lifted tubing into a well site pipe frame, pulling out a safety pin, removing two lifting lugs, and unloading the tubing elevator to be placed on the ground or a small platform table. And inserting safety pins at two sides into lifting lugs at two sides of an oil pipe elevator at a wellhead, lifting the oil pipe column by using a traveling block main ditch, stopping the oil pipe after a third coupling is exposed out of the flange plane of the sleeve and is higher than one oil pipe elevator, and locking the oil pipe elevator placed on the ground or a small platform table at the position where the oil pipe elevator is lifted into the flange plane of the wellhead and clamped into the third coupling of the oil pipe. Repeating the above process to complete the lifting process.
In the existing operation procedure, the two oil pipe elevator needs to be alternately matched with the large ditch of the traveling block, and the actions of pulling out the safety pin and inserting the safety pin are repeated when the oil pipe elevator is replaced each time, so that the operation steps are complicated, and the oil pipe elevator is repeatedly lifted by using the large ditch of the traveling block for many times, so that the safety hidden trouble is caused, and the labor intensity of workers is increased.
Therefore, there is a need for an oil pipe elevator apparatus that can simplify the construction process to reduce labor intensity during workover operations.
