Problems solved by technology

However, such tools are often incapable of manipulating tubular components of non-uniform size
The tool's ability to adequately engage the tubular component is reduced when the tubular component being manipulated is not of ideal size, for example by having varying wall thickness or imperfect cylindricity or circularity

Abstract

A tubular handling apparatus including a tubular member running tool adapted to provide load-bearing, and preferably torquing, capacity upon the gripping of a tubular is provided. The running tool includes a slotted member having a plurality of elongated slots, a recessed member associated with the slotted member and having a plurality of recesses, and a plurality of gripping elements disposed between the slotted member and recessed member. Each such gripping element is adapted to move with an engaged tubular so as to grip the tubular. A tubular member elevator associated to the running tool, as well as related floor slips, are also encompassed. Methods of casing running are also included.

Description

Background technique [0001] Drilling of subterranean wells involves assembling tubular strings, such as casing strings and drill strings, each of which includes a plurality of heavy, elongated tubular sections that extend from the drilling rig down into the wellbore. The pipe string consists of a plurality of threaded joint pipe sections. [0002] Typically, workers use labor-intensive methods to join pipe sections to form pipe strings. This method involves the use of a worker, usually a "stabber" and multiple operators, such as a pliers operator. Sharps are placed in a raised position within the rig on the centralizing table to manually align individual pipe sections with the existing pipe string. This is an inherently unsafe location due to the height at which sharps are placed and the large number of moving parts within the rig. Various operators ensure the alignment and connection of individual pipe sections with existing pipe strings on the rig floor. The tong operato...
