Master control system with remote monitoring for handling tubulars

摘要

A master control system with remote monitoring that can perform, monitor, and control operations of a portable rig with a vertical pipe handler as the vertical pipe handler installs tubulars into a drill string or breaks out tubulars from a drill string for a wellbore. The master control system can include a server, a network, a data storage, and a plurality of client devices with an executive dashboard of rig functions viewable by individual users connected to the network. In embodiments, a computing cloud is used with a cloud server with processor and cloud data storage.

1. A master control system with remote monitoring for installing a plurality of connected tubulars into a wellbore using a drilling rig with a hoist system connected to a vertical pipe handler and a horizontal to vertical pipe handler in series, wherein the master control system comprises:
a. a server with a processor in communication with a network; b. a data storage in communication with the server; wherein the data storage comprises: (i) computer instructions to manage synchronized functions of: (a) the drilling rig including the hoist system and a top drive, (b) the vertical pipe handler, and (c) the horizontal to vertical pipe handler; (ii) computer instructions to determine when a tubular is on the horizontal to vertical pipe handler; (iii) computer instructions to raise the tubular from a horizontal position to a vertical position using the horizontal to vertical pipe handler; (iv) computer instructions to extend top and bottom pivoting arms of the vertical pipe handler; (v) computer instructions to grab the tubular from the horizontal to vertical pipe handler using the top and bottom pivoting arms; (vi) computer instructions to rotate the top and bottom pivoting arms holding the tubular to position the tubular over a well center; (vii) computer instructions to lift the tubular to a position proximate to the top drive for connection with the top drive; (viii) computer instructions to lower the top drive down a mast of the drilling rig for connection to an end of the tubular; (ix) computer instructions to connect the top drive to the tubular; (x) computer instructions to rotate the tubular using the top drive to insert the tubular into the wellbore while lowering the top drive towards the wellbore; (xi) computer instructions to disengage the tubular from the top drive once the tubular reaches a preset depth; (xii) computer instructions to retract the top drive away from the wellbore; and (xiii) computer instructions to form an executive dashboard of rig functions, vertical pipe handler functions, and horizontal to vertical pipe handler functions; and c. a first client device in communication with the network, wherein the first client device is configured to present the formed executive dashboard on the first client device for viewing by a first user.
