Tech/Engineering - Petroleum Eng/Sci | | English term or phrase: rathole vs mousehole | Estoy traduciendo un texto sobre perforación de petróleo y no encuentro clara la diferencia entre rathole y mousehole.
Buscando he encontrado la misma definición para ambos términos como "hueco de conexión", sin embargo el texto que estoy traduciendo los diferencia :..with the conductor pipe,rathole and mousehole prepared,the drilling contractor can move in the rotary rig to drill.."
¿Podrian ayudarme a diferenciarlos? |
| | | hueco (o agujero) para el kelly vs hueco (o agujero) de conexión | Explanation:
Siguen a continuación las definiciones:
mousehole
1. An opening in the rig floor near the rotary table, but between the rotary table and the vee-door, that enables rapid connections while drilling. The mousehole is usually fitted underneath with a length of casing, usually with a bottom. A joint of drillpipe that will be used next in the drilling operation is placed in the mousehole, box end up, by the rig crew at a convenient time (immediately after the previous connection is made). When the bit drills down and the kelly is near the rotary table, another piece of drillpipe must be added for drilling to continue. This next piece of pipe is standing in the mousehole when the kelly is screwed onto it. Then the kelly and the joint of pipe in the mousehole are raised to remove the pipe from the mousehole, the mousehole pipe screwed onto the rest of the drillstring, and the drillstring lowered, rotated, and pumped through to continue drilling. Another piece of pipe is put in the mousehole to await the next connection.
rathole
1. A storage place for the kelly, consisting of an opening in the rig floor fitted with a piece of casing with an internal diameter larger than the outside diameter of the kelly, but less than that of the upper kelly valve so that the kelly may be lowered into the rathole until the upper kelly valve rests on the top of the piece of casing.
2. (no aplica en tu contexto en particular) Extra hole drilled at the end of the well (beyond the last zone of interest) to ensure that the zone of interest can be fully evaluated. The logging tool string may be as much as 120 ft [36.5 m] in length, so the rathole allows tools at the top of the logging string to reach and measure the deepest zone of interest. In addition, there is usually a small amount of extra hole drilled to allow for junk, hole fill-in and other conditions that may reduce the effective depth of the well prior to running logging tools.
3. (no aplica en tu contexto en particular) Extra hole drilled at the bottom of the hole to leave expendable completion equipment, such as the carriers for perforating gun charges.
Espero te haya aclado la duda.
