Break-out

خلع القطع: فك المفاصل في مجال النفط والغاز

في مجال النفط والغاز، يشير مصطلح "خلع القطع" إلى عملية **فك مفصل أنبوب أو مكون من مجموعة القاع (BHA)**. هذه العملية المهمة غالباً ما تكون ضرورية أثناء أنشطة الحفر وإكمال البئر المختلفة، بما في ذلك:

1. استرجاع المعدات:

  • سحب سلسلة الحفر: يُمكّن فك مفاصل أنابيب الحفر من استرجاع سلسلة الحفر بأكملها بعد عمليات الحفر.
  • استرجاع مجموعة القاع (BHA): يتطلب فصل مكونات مجموعة القاع، مثل رؤوس الحفر، والمُثبّتات، ومحركات القاع، فك المفاصل المقابلة.

2. استبدال المعدات:

  • تغيير رؤوس الحفر: عند تلف رأس الحفر، يجب استبداله. يُمكّن فك طوق رأس الحفر، الذي يربط رأس الحفر بأنبوب الحفر، من إجراء هذا الاستبدال.
  • إضافة أو إزالة الأدوات: يُمكّن فك المفاصل من إضافة أو إزالة أدوات مثل المثاقب، وكاشطات الغلاف، أو مسدسات الثقوب أثناء عمليات إكمال البئر.

3. حل مشكلات استكشاف الأخطاء وإصلاحها:

  • التحقق من سلسلة الحفر العالقة: إذا علقت سلسلة الحفر، يُمكّن فك أنابيب الحفر من التفتيش واتخاذ إجراءات تصحيحية محتملة.
  • معالجة الأعطال الميكانيكية: في حالات عطل أدوات القاع، قد يكون من الضروري فك المفاصل لاسترجاع المعدات المعطلة أو إصلاحها.

خلع القطع: العملية

يتضمن فك مفصل **تطبيق عزم الدوران** على الوصلة، مما يؤدي إلى فك المكونات المملوكة بشكل فعال. تستخدم العملية عادةً معدات متخصصة مثل:

  • مفاتيح عزم الدوران: تُطبق هذه الأدوات عزم دوران دقيق على المفصل، مما يضمن فكًا صحيحًا دون إتلاف المعدات.
  • رؤوس دوارة: تُستخدم طاولات دوارة أو محركات علوية لتدوير الأنبوب أثناء تطبيق عزم الدوران، مما يُسهّل عملية فك القطع.
  • قوة هيدروليكية: في بعض الحالات، تُستخدم القوة الهيدروليكية لتطبيق عزم الدوران وتسهيل فك الاتصالات الصعبة.

اعتبارات السلامة:

  • المعدات المناسبة: استخدام الأدوات الصحيحة وضمان صيانتها بشكل صحيح أمر ضروري لعمليات فك القطع الآمنة.
  • التفقدات الدقيقة: قبل فك أي مفصل، من الضروري إجراء فحص دقيق لتحديد المخاطر أو التلف المحتمل.
  • الشخصيات المتمرسة: يجب أن يقوم موظفون مدربون ومتمرسون بتنفيذ عمليات فك القطع، مع الالتزام ببروتوكولات السلامة.

فك المفاصل هو جانب أساسي من جوانب عمليات الحفر وإكمال البئر. يُعد فهم هذه العملية، والمعدات المصاحبة لها، وأهمية احتياطات السلامة أمرًا ضروريًا لعمليات ناجحة وفعالة في مجال النفط والغاز.

Exercise: Breaking Out Scenario

Scenario: During a drilling operation, the drill bit wears out and needs to be replaced.

Task: Describe the steps involved in breaking out the drill collar (which connects the drill bit to the drill pipe) to facilitate the drill bit change. Include the necessary equipment and safety considerations.

Exercice Correction

**Steps:**

  1. **Stop the drilling operation and circulate mud.** This ensures the hole is clean and pressure is stabilized.
  2. **Inspect the drill collar joint.** Check for any signs of damage or wear, ensuring the joint is safe to break out.
  3. **Position the torque wrench.** Attach the torque wrench to the drill collar. The torque wrench should be rated for the size and type of connection.
  4. **Apply torque gradually and slowly.** Rotate the drill collar with a rotating head or top drive, gradually applying torque. Avoid excessive force, which could damage the connection.
  5. **Unscrew the joint.** Continue applying torque until the joint unscrews, allowing the drill collar to be removed.
  6. **Inspect the joint and the drill collar.** Examine the threads for wear or damage. Ensure both components are clean and ready for the new drill bit.
  7. **Connect the new drill bit.** Install the new drill bit to the drill collar, ensuring it's properly aligned and tightened.
  8. **Re-run the drilling operation.** Resume drilling operations once the new bit is installed and the drill string is properly connected.

**Equipment:**

  • Torque wrench
  • Rotating head or top drive
  • Hydraulic power unit (optional)
  • Safety equipment (gloves, hard hat, safety glasses)

**Safety Considerations:**

  • Ensure experienced personnel are conducting the operation.
  • Use the correct torque wrench and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Never apply excessive force, as this could damage the connection or injure personnel.
  • Always maintain a safe distance from moving equipment.
  • Implement safety procedures and equipment as per company and regulatory guidelines.
