  1. Underbalance Drilling Rotating Heads & Rotating BOP’s

  2. RotatingHeadsRotating BOP’s • Used to divert the return flow stream down the blooey line, flow line or to the choke manifold.

  3. Rotating Drilling Heads • Two types of systems; hydraulic active (RBOP) and mechanical sealing (RH) • Both are used successfully in air and underbalanced wells

  4. Rotating HeadMechanical Sealing Type Gas and Air Drilling

  5. Rotating Head Mechanical Sealing Mechanism Drilling Fluid Description

  6. Rotating BOPHydraulic ActiveRBOPTM Kelly Packer

  7. Closing Unit

  8. Manufacturers • Williams • Smith Grant • Shaffer RSBOP (Varco) • Northland Inter-Tech • RBOP • TESCO1 • Alpine - Technicorp • Lynn International • Others

  9. Mechanical Seal Rotating Heads • Pressure Ranges • Low 300psi • Medium 700psi • High 1500psi • Very High 3000psi • Static pressure ranges are twice as high

  10. Mechanical Sealing Rotating Heads • Kelly Bushing • Drive Bushing • Swing Bolt Clamp • Stripper Rubber Grant - Smith

  11. Conventional Rotating HeadWilliams Model 9000 Kelly Driver 500 psi rotating Bearing Assembly 1000 psi static Up to 200 rpm Stripper Rubber Geothermal model - two stripper rubbers Bowl Drilling Fluid Description

  12. Negative Impact to Stripper Rubber Elements The purpose of the stripper rubber is to provide a seal around the kelly as it rotates and to seal around the drill pipe while tripping in or out of the hole.

  13. Stripper Rubber Composition • Natural- Air, Mist, Foam, Gas • Polyurethane- Oil Based below 140 F • Nitrile - Oil Based above 140 F • Butyl - Geothermal and H2S

  14. Negative Impact to Stripper Rubber Elements Kelly condition is critical. • Surface condition- check wear pattern on corners • Bent Kelly’s

  15. Alignment • Rig to Stack Alignment is critical • Check Daily • Suspect to excessive element usage

  16. Other Negative Impacts • Drill pipe identification grooves • Pitting and abrasion on drill pipe • Tong and slip die damage • Some hardbanding • Mills and bits

  17. Other Negative Impacts • Extreme cold • Extreme heat • Age • Sun light

  18. Low Pressure Rotating Head Gas and Air Drilling

  19. Medium Pressure RDH • Pressureto 700 psi • Single or Dual Element • Lower Mounting Spools from 7 1/16” 2000 psi to 13 5/8”- 5000 psi. • Outlet Flanges are 7 1/16”-2000/3000 psi Grant - Smith

  20. WATER COOLED SEALS Maximize the operating life of the bearing assembly. POSITIVE OIL LUBRICATION provides continuous flushing to keep debris out of te bearings and seals and maintains lubrication up to 2300 psi. HYDRAULIC OPERATED CLAMP Provides a continuous closing force to compensate for operating stress. Williams model 7000 is also designed to handle today’s most demanding underbalanced drilling requirements. It is available in explosion proof and offshore models and comes with a side outlet flange. This unit is also equipped with a captive space vent for purging the system in sour gas applications. DUAL ROTATING STRIPPER RUBBERS Are designed to automatically seal tighter as pressures increase. The bottom rubber wears first, leaving the top rubber in newer condition for added safety. High Pressure MODEL 7000 For use on rigs with top drives or Kellys CALL FOR SIZES AVAILABLE
