Definitions
- the invention relates to a tank system for the preparation of the drilling fluid from bores as part of a drilling system.
- Tank systems of conventional land drilling rigs which consist of two or more rectangular tanks in which the mud is prepared and stored for days. Either rectangular tanks or silos are used to store the reserve flush.
- a disadvantage of such tank systems is the fact that the solids that are contained in the flushing settle in the corners of the rectangular tanks and they therefore have to be cleaned before changing the flushing and before converting the drilling rigs. In addition to the high expenditure of time required for this, the settling of the solids leads to the fact that the flushing is no longer homogeneous to a considerable extent and that the usable tank volume is reduced. Rectangular tanks are used in particular where transportability is necessary for drilling rigs. Furthermore, the connection of rectangular tanks to one another is complicated and time-consuming.
- the invention is based on the object of developing a flushing tank system in which on the one hand the aforementioned disadvantages, such as settling of the solids, high cleaning effort and reduced homogeneity of the flushing, are prevented and on the other hand simple and easy to transport.
- round tanks are arranged on container slides, the upper part of which is cylindrical and the lower part of which is conical.
- the arrangement of the tanks on container slides advantageously ensures that they can be transported just as easily as rectangular tanks according to the prior art.
- Another advantage of the arrangement of the round tanks is that there is space in the area of the conical part, for example for high-pressure lines, distributors, pumps (centrifugal pumps, charge pumps, etc.) and valves.
- the tanks can be made of lighter steel of the same material quality.
- the tanks are advantageously self-cleaning, which means that neither shovels nor hoses and no personnel are required for cleaning work. Tanks designed in this way reduce the costs of flushing, since almost the entire capacity of the flushing tanks can be used. With the advantageous structural design, short assembly and dismantling times are also achieved.
- the tanks arranged on the container carriage are designed as shaking sieve tanks or as mixing or rinsing mixing tanks.
- the advantage of this arrangement is that, depending on requirements, tanks that meet special requirements can be used with little effort and efficiently.
- Agitators are arranged in the tanks. Homogenization of the rinsing liquid is thus advantageously achieved. It also prevents solids from settling.
- Baffles are arranged in the tanks, which advantageously contribute to better mixing of the rinsing liquid.
- the tanks are completely closed.
- a special cover is no longer required for an oil flush.
- FIG. 1 shows the side view of a flushing tank system
- FIG. 2 shows the top view of a flushing tank system.
- FIG. 1 shows a total of several container modules with round tanks 5, 6, the upper part of which is cylindrical and the lower part of which is conical.
- the round tanks are arranged on container slides 2, 3.
- the shaker skid 2 comprises four tanks 5 with a diameter of 3.0 m, a height of 3.0 m and 12.5 m 3 capacity per tank.
- On the slide 3 with the suction / mixing tanks there are a total of five tanks, four of them tanks 6 with the same dimensions as the tanks 5 and a pill tank 4 (1.8 m in diameter, 2.1 m in height, 4 m 3 capacity).

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Tanksystem für die Aufbereitung der Spülung aus Bohrungen als Teil einer Bohranlage.The invention relates to a tank system for the preparation of the drilling fluid from bores as part of a drilling system.
Es sind Tanksysteme herkömmlicher Landbohranlagen bekannt, die aus zwei oder mehreren rechteckigen Tanks bestehen, in welchen die Spülung über Tage aufbereitet und gelagert wird. Für die Lagerung der Reservespülung werden entweder rechteckige Tanks oder Silos verwendet. Nachteil derartiger Tanksysteme ist die Tatsache, daß sich die Feststoffe, die in der Spülung enthalten sind, in den Ecken der rechteckigen Tanks absetzen und diese deshalb jeweils vor Auswechseln der Spülung und vor Umbauten der Bohranlagen gereinigt werden müssen. Neben dem hohen Zeitaufwand, der dafür nötig ist, führt das Absetzen der Feststoffe dazu, daß die Spülung zu einemn erheblichen Prozentsatz nicht mehr homogen ist und daß sich das nutzbare Tankvolumen verringert. Das Einsatzgebiet von rechteckigen Tanks liegt insbesondere dort, wo für Bohranlagen eine Transportierbarkeit notwendig ist. Desweiteren ist der Anschluß von rechteckigen Tanks untereinander aber kompliziert und zeitaufwendig.Tank systems of conventional land drilling rigs are known which consist of two or more rectangular tanks in which the mud is prepared and stored for days. Either rectangular tanks or silos are used to store the reserve flush. A disadvantage of such tank systems is the fact that the solids that are contained in the flushing settle in the corners of the rectangular tanks and they therefore have to be cleaned before changing the flushing and before converting the drilling rigs. In addition to the high expenditure of time required for this, the settling of the solids leads to the fact that the flushing is no longer homogeneous to a considerable extent and that the usable tank volume is reduced. Rectangular tanks are used in particular where transportability is necessary for drilling rigs. Furthermore, the connection of rectangular tanks to one another is complicated and time-consuming.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Spülungstanksystem zu entwickeln, bei dem einerseits die vorgenannten Nachteile, wie Absetzen der Feststoffe, hoher Reinigungsaufwand und verminderte Homogenität der Spülung, verhindert wird und das andererseits jedoch einfach und leicht zu transportieren ist.The invention is based on the object of developing a flushing tank system in which on the one hand the aforementioned disadvantages, such as settling of the solids, high cleaning effort and reduced homogeneity of the flushing, are prevented and on the other hand simple and easy to transport.
Die Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß auf Containerschlitten runde Tanks angeordnet sind, deren oberen Teil zylindrisch und deren unterer Teil konisch ausgebildet ist. Durch die Anordnung der Tanks auf Containerschlitten wird vorteilhafterweise erreicht, daß man sie ebenso leicht transportieren kann wie rechteckige Tanks nach dem Stand der Technik. Vorteilhaft bei der Anordnung der runden Tanks ist weiterhin, daß im Bereich des konischen Teils Platz zum Beispiel für Hochdruckleitungen, Verteiler, Pumpen (Zentrifugalpumpen, Ladepumpen, etc.), und Ventile vorhanden ist.The object is achieved in that round tanks are arranged on container slides, the upper part of which is cylindrical and the lower part of which is conical. The arrangement of the tanks on container slides advantageously ensures that they can be transported just as easily as rectangular tanks according to the prior art. Another advantage of the arrangement of the round tanks is that there is space in the area of the conical part, for example for high-pressure lines, distributors, pumps (centrifugal pumps, charge pumps, etc.) and valves.
Darüber hinaus ist ein weiterer Vorteil, daß die Tanks aus leichterem Stahl von gleicher Materialgüte hergestellt werden können. Die Tanks sind in vorteilhafter Weise selbstreinigend, das heißt, daß weder Schaufeln noch Schläuche sowie kein Personal für Reinigungsarbeiten benötigt wird. Durch derartig ausgebildete Tanks werden die Kosten der Spülung reduziert, da nahezu das gesamte Fassungsvermögen der Spülungstanks genutzt werden kann. Mit der vorteilhaften konstruktiven Gestaltung werden außerdem kurze Aufbau- und Abbauzeiten erreicht.In addition, another advantage is that the tanks can be made of lighter steel of the same material quality. The tanks are advantageously self-cleaning, which means that neither shovels nor hoses and no personnel are required for cleaning work. Tanks designed in this way reduce the costs of flushing, since almost the entire capacity of the flushing tanks can be used. With the advantageous structural design, short assembly and dismantling times are also achieved.
Die auf dem Containerschlitten angeordneten Tanks sind als Schüttelsiebtank oder als Misch- bzw. Spülungsanmischtank ausgebildet. Vorteil dieser Anordnung ist, das, je nach Bedarf, spezielle Anforderungen erfüllende Tanks mit geringem Aufwand und effizient eingesetzt werden können.The tanks arranged on the container carriage are designed as shaking sieve tanks or as mixing or rinsing mixing tanks. The advantage of this arrangement is that, depending on requirements, tanks that meet special requirements can be used with little effort and efficiently.
In den Tanks sind Rührwerke angeordnet. Damit wird vorteilhaft eine Homogenisierung der Spülungsflüssigkeit erreicht. Desweiteren wird ein Absetzen von Feststoffen verhindert.Agitators are arranged in the tanks. Homogenization of the rinsing liquid is thus advantageously achieved. It also prevents solids from settling.
In den Tanks sind Leitbleche angeordnet, die vorteilhaft zur besseren Durchmischung der Spülungsflüssigkeit beitragen.Baffles are arranged in the tanks, which advantageously contribute to better mixing of the rinsing liquid.
Die Tanks sind vollständig geschlossen ausgebildet. Vorteilhafterweise wird hiermit z.B. bei einer Ölspülung eine besondere Abdeckung nicht mehr erforderlich.The tanks are completely closed. Advantageously, e.g. a special cover is no longer required for an oil flush.
Mehrere Container werden zu einer Systemeinheit kombiniert, insbesondere gestapelt, angeordnet und deren Leitungen sind direkt miteinander koppelbar ausgebildet. Vorteilhaft wird somit erreicht, das Containerschlitten mit unterschiedlichen Tanks wie Schüttelsiebtanks und Mischtanks platzsparend nebeneinander bzw. übereinander angeordnet werden können, ohne aufwendige Schlauchverbindungen zwischen den Containern installieren zu müssen. An das Spülungstanksystem können dadurch auch weitere spezielle Container angeordnet werden. In derartigen Containern können sich Einrichtungen wie zum Bespiel Feststoffentfernungsequipment, Degasser-Ausrüstung, Motoren der Rührwerke, Strom- und Kontrollaggregate sowie Meßeinrichtungen zur Spülungskontrolle befinden.Several containers are combined to form a system unit, in particular stacked, arranged, and their lines are designed so that they can be coupled directly to one another. It is thus advantageously achieved that the container carriage with different tanks such as shaking sieve tanks and mixing tanks can be arranged side by side or one above the other in a space-saving manner without having to install complex hose connections between the containers. As a result, other special containers can also be arranged on the flushing tank system. In such containers, facilities such as solids removal equipment, Degasser equipment, motors of the agitators, power and control units as well as measuring devices for rinsing control are located.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel ist in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellt. Die Fig. 1 zeigt die Seitenansicht eines Spülungstanksystems, die Fig. 2 zeigt die Draufsicht eines Spülungstanksystems.An embodiment is shown in Figures 1 and 2. FIG. 1 shows the side view of a flushing tank system, FIG. 2 shows the top view of a flushing tank system.
Die Figur 1 zeigt insgesamt mehrere Containermodule mit runden Tanks 5, 6, deren oberer Teil zylindrisch und deren unterer Teil konisch ausgebildet ist. Die runden Tanks sind auf Container-Schlitten 2, 3 angeordnet. Der Schüttelsiebschlitten (Shaker Skid) 2 umfaßt vier Tanks 5 mit einem Durchmesser von 3,0 m, einer Höhe von 3,0 m sowie 12,5 m3 Fassungsvermögen pro Tank. Auf dem Schlitten 3 mit den Saug-/Mischtanks befinden sich insgesamt fünf Tanks, davon vier Tanks 6 mit den gleichen Abmessungen wie die Tanks 5 sowie ein Spülungsanmischtank (Pill Tank) 4 (1,8 m Durchmesser, 2,1 m Höhe, 4 m3 Fassungsvermögen). Das Gesamtvolumen des Spülungstanksystems beträgt 108 m3. In jedem der Tanks 5, 6 ist ein in der Mitte angeordnetes Spülungsrührwerk 1 installiert. In den Tanks 4, 5, 6 sind Leitbleche (nicht dargestellt) zur besseren Durchmischung der Spülungsflüssigkeit angeordnet. Die Leitbleche sind senkrecht, zur Tankachse radial orientiert, angeordnet. Zwischen Leitblech und Tankwandung befinden sich Durchlässe, durch die Teile der Spülungsflüssigkeit strömen kann, sodaß Ablagerungen im Bereich des Übergangs zwischen Leitblech und Tankwandung vermieden werden.FIG. 1 shows a total of several container modules with
Unter dem konischen Teil der Tanks 4, 5, 6 kann der freie Raum für die Hochdruckleitungen und Verteilungen sowie für Pumpe 7 (Zentrifugalpumpen, Ladepumpen, Ventile, etc.) genutzt werden.Under the conical part of the
Auf das Spülungstanksystem können weitere Container 12 gestellt werden. In diesen oberen Containern, die an den unteren befestigt werden, befinden sich Solids Removal Equipment (Shale Shaker und Desilter), Degasser-Ausrüstung, Stromverteilung sowie das System für die Kontrolle und Mud Logging der Spülung (Messeinrichtung zur Spülungskontrolle). Die oberen Container können über eine Treppe 13 erreicht werden.
Die Spülungstanks sind untereinander mit 12'' Leitungen 8 verbunden, die jeweils am Boden installiert sind. Es können aber auch 10'' oder 8'' Leitungen eingebaut und verbunden werden. Alle Tanks sind oben vollständig geschlossen, so daß zum Beispiel bei einer Ölspülung eine besondere Abdeckung nicht erforderlich ist. Die abgedeckte Spülrinne 11 führt am Schüttelsieb vorbei in die einzelnen Tanks. In den Rahmen des Container-Schlitten 2, 3 wird eine Ringleitung 9 installiert. Das Spülungstanksystem besteht aus vier Containern, die zum Straßentransport geeignet sind, einschließlich aller Hochdruckleitungen und sonstigem Zubehör. Die in Figur 2 dargestellten Luken 10 dienen der Inspektion der einzelnen Tanks 4, 5, 6.The rinsing tanks are connected to each other with 12
