Abstract

A protection tool is provided to protect a control line in a safe area while one or more slips of a spider are being closed. In another embodiment, a safety interlock system is provided to prevent the closing of the slips before the control line is pulled away from the tubular string. In yet another embodiment, a safety interlock system includes a safety interlock trigger adapted to be actuated by a protection tool. The safety interlock trigger is adapted to detect the physical presence of the protection tool, and thereafter send a signal to the interlock system to enable an operator or a control mechanism to safely close the slips.

Claims (32)

1. A protection tool for a control line in a tubular gripping member, comprising:
a barrier adapted to be disposed adjacent the control line, whereby the control line is prevented from engagement with a gripping element of the tubular gripping member.
2. The protection tool of claim 1, wherein the barrier is disposed proximate to a gripping element of the tubular gripping member.
3. The protection tool of claim 2, wherein the barrier is adapted to retain the control line in a safe area within the tubular gripping member.
4. The protection tool of claim 2, wherein the barrier is removable.
5. The protection tool of claim 3, wherein the barrier is inserted and/or removed from the proximity of the tubular gripping element by remote operation.
6. The protection tool of claim 5, further comprising a sensor which detects the presence and/or absence of the barrier in the proximity of the tubular gripping element.
7. The protection tool of claim 6, wherein the sensor is linked to a control system.
8. The protection tool of claim 7, wherein the control system forms at least part of a safety interlock system for controlling operation of a gripping element to prevent damage to a control line.
9. A method of running a control line along with a tubular string, comprising:

providing a protection tool;
moving the control line to a position away from a tubular string;
disposing the protection tool adjacent to the control line; and engaging a gripping element with the tubular string, whereby the control line is prevented from engagement with the gripping element.
10. The method of claim 9, further comprising providing an interlock system for preventing or allowing movement of the gripping element.
11. The method of claim 10, wherein the interlock system is adapted to detect a position of the control line.
12. The method of claim 11, wherein the interlock system prevents or allows movement of the gripping elements in response to the position of the control line.
13. The method of claim 10, wherein the interlock system is adapted to detect the presence of the protection tool.
14. The method of claim 13, wherein the interlock system prevents or allows movement of the gripping elements in response to the presence of the protection tool.
15. The method of claim 9, further comprising opening the gripping element.
16. The method of claim 15, further comprising moving the control removing the protection tool.
17. The method of claim 16, further comprising detecting removal of the protection tool.
18. The method of claim 16, further comprising moving the control line toward the tubular string.
19. The method of claim 18, further comprising clamping the control line to the tubular string.
20. The method of claim 18, wherein the control line is moved using a control line positioning device.
21. The method of claim 20, further comprising clamping the control line to the tubular string.
22. The method of claim 21, further comprising moving the control line positioning device away from the tubular string.
23. The method of claim 22, further comprising lowering the tubular string.
24. A safety interlock system for controlling operation of a gripping element to prevent damage to a control line, comprising:
an interlock controller adapted to allow or prevent movement of the gripping element; and an interlock trigger adapted to determine a position of the control line, wherein the interlock controller allows or prevents movement of the gripping element in response to a signal sent by the interlock trigger indicating the position of the control line.
25. The safety interlock system of claim 24, wherein the gripping element comprises a slip.
26. The safety interlock system of claim 24, wherein the interlock trigger determines the position of the control line by detecting the presence of a protection tool for the control line.
27. The safety interlock system of claim 26, wherein the interlock trigger physically engages the protection tool.
28. The safety interlock system of claim 24, wherein the interlock trigger determines the position of the control line by determining a position of a control line positioning device.
29. A tubular gripping member for use with a control line, comprising:

a slip; and a sensing mechanism adapted to engage the control line, whereby engagement with the control line indicates that the control line is retracted from a path of travel of the slip.
30. The tubular gripping member of claim 29, wherein the sensing mechanism comprises a roller assembly.
31. The tubular gripping member of claim 29, wherein the sensing mechanism comprises a sleeve.
32. The tubular gripping member of claim 29, wherein the sensing mechanism is positioned in a safe area within the tubular gripping member.
