Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tool for the purpose of handling a float, sleeve and the like.
  • a tool for placement on a float, sleeve and the like for moving and handling the float, sleeve and the like, for example, during attaching pieces of pipe together in oil/gas drilling operations.
  • the drilling of oil and gas wells involves not only multiple sections of pipe for removing the oil/gas from the well, but also includes surrounding pipelines for supporting the well. Frequently, two or more surrounding pieces of pipe are used and connected to form long pipelines, as long as 15,000 feet or more, and filled with cement to give strength and support to contained pipe. Larger pieces of pipe are handled by cranes or other mechanical means but smaller pieces of pipe, like connectors, float collars, and float shoes, and the like which are smaller pipe pieces and while heavy, are handled and installed by hand with 2 or more people doing the installing by lifting the pipe section via the bottom edge of the piece of pipe.
  • the present invention relates to the discovery that if a stabilizing device is mounted on a float, sleeve or the like (here on after referred to as a "piece of pipe") essentially circumferentially, the stabilizing device has an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the piece of pipe, then one or more users can lift the pipe by lifting the stabilizing device from its bottom edge, which is not as dangerous. That way they have a firm grip at all times and do not need to get their hands out of the way as when carrying the piece of pipe by its bottom edge and connecting it to another section of pipe.
  • the present invention relates to a stabilizing device for the handling of a piece of pipe having a first outer diameter and a bottom edge by one or more user comprising:
  • a collar having a first inner diameter larger than the first outer diameter and a bottom edge;
  • a pressure attachment device positioned on the collar for attaching the stabilizer to the first outer diameter such that there is a gap between the first inner diameter and the first outer diameter of the collar sufficient that the one or more user can lift the stabilizing device by hand via the collar bottom edge.
  • the present invention relates to a method of carrying a piece of pipe having a first outer diameter and a bottom edge by one or more user comprising:
  • a stabilizing device comprising a collar having a first inner diameter larger than the first outer diameter and a bottom edge; the collar having a pressure attachment device positioned on the collar for attaching the stabilizing device to the first outer diameter such that there is a gap between the first inner diameter of the collar and the first outer diameter of the piece of pipe sufficient that the one or more user can lift the device by hand via the collar bottom edge;

  • the term “coupled”, as used herein, is defined as connected, although not necessarily directly, and not necessarily mechanically.
  • an embodiment or similar terms means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present invention.
  • the appearances of such phrases or in various places throughout this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment.
  • the particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments without limitation.
  • the term "piece of pipe” refers to a piece of pipe of a size normally carried by one or more user by hand, especially where two or more users carry the pipe by its bottom edge.
  • the pipe is pipeline used in the drilling of oil and gas pipeline.
  • Normal oil and gas pipeline drilling pipe is roughly 43 foot long and handled by machinery, but smaller columnar pieces such as connectors, float collars, float shoes, frac sleeves and the like are installed by hand. In order to screw these smaller pieces together, they are hand-lifted by a bottom edge and users must attempt to get their hands out of the way in time to align the small piece of pipe on the longer sections.
  • it refers to any heavy piece of pipe that is difficult to carry by hand.
  • the pipe sections are from a few inches to possibly 3 or 4 feet, but in most cases no longer than about 5 feet, because of the weight and the availability of machines to do this kind of work.
  • a piece of pipe has a first outer diameter that for oil and gas pipelines is standardized. Since the piece of pipe is relatively short has a bottom edge which is the edge that is attached to another piece of pipe or longer section of pipe in e.g. in a well drilling operation. Frequently, the bottom edge of the piece of pipe has threads or the like for attaching to the adjacent pipeline sections. These threads also are a hazard since they tend to be fine threads and relatively sharp. Even with gloves on its possible to cut ones hands lifting and installing these pieces of pipe by hand lifting from the bottom edge.
  • the term "device for handling a piece of pipe” refers to a device for attaching to the piece of pipe so that it can be lifted and put in place easily and such that it does not need to be carried by the bottom edge of the piece of pipe. It is a device that is attached temporarily to the piece of pipe so that a user lifts and carries by the device and not the pipe.
  • the term "user” refers to one or more person (especially two in oil and gas pipe drilling operations) who would lift a piece of pipe for placement in a particular location.
  • stabilizing device refers to a device for temporary attachment circumferentially to a piece of pipe for the purpose of handling it and stabilizing it during the attachment process to a long pipe, such as an oil/gas pipeline.
  • the stabilizing device consists of a collar and a device for attaching the collar to a piece of pipe.
  • the collar will be used to lift the piece of pipe by lifting from the collar bottom edge instead of the piece of pipe bottom edge. It consists of an inner diameter that is larger than the outer diameter of the piece of pipe.
  • the gap in one embodiment, is large enough for one or more users to fit their fingers in-between the first outer diameter and the first inner diameter as shown in the figures. The user grabs the bottom edge of the collar and lifts.
  • the stabilizing device can be made of any material that can withstand the weight of lifting the piece of pipe.
  • it is made of a metal such as iron or an iron alloy or the like. It could also be made of a polymeric material which would lower the weight of the device.
  • it is a round device like a tube (pipe shown for example) of a single solid piece or can have holes or be a series of one or more rings attached to form a pipe-like shape (as seen in the Figures).
  • a solid piece of pipe-like material would exhibit more strength but be heavier than one that is not completely solid.
  • the collar is shown as round (tubular), other shapes, such as square tubing or the like, could be utilized as long as there is a gap between the collar and the outer diameter of the piece of pipe.
  • pressure attachment device refers to a device for temporarily attaching the stabilizing device to the outer diameter of the piece of pipe by pressure.
  • a series of screws positioned through the sidewall of the collar are tightened until they press against the outer diameter of the piece of pipe and if tight enough would allow the piece of pipe to be lifted by the bottom edge of the collar.
  • Fig. 3 screws are shown, but with a heavier piece of pipe more or tighter screws might be needed.
  • the screws could be fitted with pressure pads or gripping devices to aid holding the collar in place during the tightening process.
  • positioned refers to the placement circumferentially of the stabilizing device around the piece of pipe. It does not have to be "perfectly" circumferential as long as a gap exists between the collar and the piece of pipe for grabbing the bottom edge. Essentially, circumferential design will give more spots to grab the collar by the bottom than if, say, one side of the collar inner diameter is touching the piece of pipe outer diameter. It also refers to having the collar bottom edge higher than the piece of pipe bottom edge.
  • the term "gap” refers to the space between the outer piece of pipe diameter and inner diameter of the collar. As a minimum, it needs to be at some location large enough to fit one's fingers in the gap, so at least about a half an inch or so. However the gap can be as large as desired accounting for weight and the like. Therefore, one larger stabilizing device might be useful for a number of different outer diameter pieces of pipe.
  • stabilizing device collar having a first inner diameter larger than the first outer diameter of a piece of pipe is selected.
  • the stabilizing device having a pressure attachment device is positioned on the first outer diameter using the pressure device, such that there is a gap between the first inner diameter and the first outer diameter sufficient that one or more user can lift the piece of pipe by hand via the collar bottom edge.

  • the collar 2 is a series (two) of rings 5.
  • Fig. 4 the stabilizing device is shown in perspective in use.
  • two users 10 are holding the stabilizing device 1 by the collar's bottom edge 6.
  • the stabilizing device 1 is attached to a piece of pipe 1 1 via the pressure attachment screws 3 which have been tightened against the piece of pipe 1 1 outer diameter 12.
  • the gap 13 between the outer diameter 12 and collar inner diameter 4 is shown and hand of the users 15 fit easily on the collar bottom edge 6 for lifting the piece of pipel 1 without placing their hands on the bottom edge of the piece of pipe 17, which has threads 18.

Abstract

La manipulation des flotteurs, manchons et sections de tube similaires des pipelines de pétrole/de gaz est effectuée manuellement et il s'agit d'un travail dangereux. Cette invention concerne un dispositif de manipulation et de stabilisation muni d'un collier et d'un dispositif de fixation à pression pour supporter les sections de tube de manière sûre et stable. Le dispositif selon l'invention repose sur le principe suivant : si un dispositif de stabilisation est monté sur un flotteur, un manchon ou analogue (ci-après "partie de tuyau") de manière sensiblement circonférentielle, le dispositif de stabilisation présente un diamètre intérieur supérieur au diamètre extérieur de la partie de tuyau, et alors un ou plusieurs utilisateurs peut/peuvent soulever le tuyau en soulevant le dispositif de stabilisation à partir de son bord inférieur, ce qui est moins dangereux.
