Definitions
- Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a mobile offshore drilling unit.
- FIG. 1A illustrates a drilling rig 6.
- a drilling rig 6 is a portable factory for forming deep wellbores 40 in the ground. When a drill bit 10 is pressed against the ground and rotated, the teeth on the bit 10 grind and gouge the rock into small pieces. These pieces of rock or cuttings must be moved out of the way so the bit teeth can be constantly exposed to fresh, uncut rock. Drilling fluid, such as mud, is used to move the cuttings away from the bit 10.
- a mud pump 20 takes mud from mud tanks 22 and pumps it under high pressure up a standpipe 24, through the swivel 26, down the kelly 54, down the drill pipe 30, through the drill collars 32 and out jets in the bit 10.
- Mud exiting under pressure from jets in the bit 10, clears the cuttings and moves then up the annulus 42 of the wellbore 40.
- the mud and cuttings are then passed over a shale shaker 44 which separates the cuttings from the mud and allows the mud to return to the mud tank 22 for recirculation.
- the cuttings are sampled periodically for geologic purposes, but most are discarded.
- drilling rig 6 since the drill bit 10 is usually rotated to form the wellbore, drilling rig 6 usually includes a rotary system.
- the rotary system includes drilling floor 50 and rotary table 52. Located near the center of the rotary table 52 is a kelly bushing and kelly 54.
- a top drive motor (not shown) positioned in the derrick on rails replaces the rotary table, kelly bushing, and kelly for imparting rotation to the drill string.
- Rotational force is transferred from the rotary system to the drill string including drill pipe 30 and drill collars 32.
- the drill collars 32 are heavy and stiff and assist in maintaining the bit in a vertical position. The weight of the drill collars 32 applied directly above the bit assists in increasing the cutting ability of the bit 10.
- Figure 1 B illustrates the draw works 68 of the drilling rig 6.
- Wells are now being drilled to depths in excess of 30,000 feet.
- the tremendous weight of the drill string must be supported by a substantial derrick 60.
- a drilling line 64 is attached to traveling block 66, sheaved over crown block 62 and attached to draw works 68.
- the draw works 68 includes a winch which is used to hoist the drill string, including the drill pipe 30, drill collars 32 and bit 10, out of the hole. Any drilling unit needs power to the turn the bit, power to drive the mud pump and power to run all the ancillary machinery.
- the power system on most offshore rigs is usually diesel/electric.
- the prime movers, being diesel, are used to drive generators to generate electric power which is used to power the other equipment.
- MODUs Mobile offshore drilling units move from one drill site on the water to another.
- FIG. 1 C illustrates a semi-submersible MODU 70.
- Floating units are typically used in water depths greater than where a bottom supported unit is capable.
- a semi-submersible 70 has a drilling rig 71 mounted in the middle and includes an opening, referred to in the industry as a moon pool (not shown), through which drilling operations are conducted.
- Semi-submersibles 70 include a lower barge hull 74 which floats below the surface of the sea 72 and is, therefore, not subject to surface wave action.
- Large stability columns 73 mounted on the lower barge hull 74 support the upper hull 78, which includes a main deck and machinery deck above the surface of the water 72.
- a semisubmersible mobile offshore drilling unit includes a submersible lower hull comprising a ring pontoon having a trapezoidal shape; an upper hull having the trapezoidal shape; three stability columns supporting the upper hull from the lower hull; and a drilling rig.
