CERTIFY OIL AND GAS EQUIPMENT
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to oil and gas extraction. In more particular aspects, the present invention relates to testing and certification of equipment used in the extraction of oil and gas.
Background of the Invention
Oil and gas extraction requires specialized well equipment such as pipes, valves, gaskets, and couplings that operate in extreme conditions including, for example, high pressure, temperature, volatility, and corrosivity. These conditions promote rapid wear of the well equipment and increase the potential for failure. Also, when the well equipment fails, the impact of the failure is usually catastrophic. For example, failure of well equipment can result in massive explosions that injure workers, destroy property, and halt operations for a significant time - potentially costing millions of dollars in loss, repair, and loss of income.
Well equipment particularly susceptible to catastrophic failure includes, for example, equipment

INNOUSTRML or fracturing ^ T Eos as the known fracturing fracturing processes generate or extend fracture underground rock formations by pumping liquid into the formation at high pressure. For example, fluid-driven fractures can form in the borehole in a drilling operation and then grow or spread within rock formations. The injected fluid may contain shoring particles such as grains of sand or ceramic to become embedded in the fractures thereby keeping them open. Fracturing is used to improve the rate at which oil and gas can be extracted from a reservoir, and fracturing is especially useful for extracting oil and gas from formations that have low porosity and permeability such as shale rock and other deep formations below the surface of the earth. Equipment used in hydraulic fracture generation for oil and gas wells may include, for example, a slurry mixer, high pressure / volume fracture generation pumps, high pressure treatment iron, and other pipes, joints, valves coupling which are known as iron for fracture generation or simply iron. For example, iron for fracture generation may include swing joints, small joints, plug valves,
To mitigate failures, the iron for cold generation must be inspected and rectified according to certain specifications which can be provided, for example, by a manufacturer or fracture generation. Due to the iron operator for the probability and impact of failure, inspections should be performed as frequently as every 90 days. Inspections and rectifications typically require several different test processes which may include, for example, visual verification of perforations, connections, seal surfaces; wall thickness measurements to verify erosion or corrosion, for example using ultrasonic measurements; fracture tests, for example using magnetic particle measurement; and pressure tests, for example above 20,000 pounds per square inch (PSI).
Previously known methods for certifying iron for fracture generation are lengthy and laborious, often lasting one to three weeks, and require a person performing the tests to control the entire test, to record the results manually, and then to enter the results into a database - which costs valuable production capacity due to downtime.
Also, the methods

inconsistent with prescribed test specifications. In addition, for example, certification records are generated by manual entry, creating the potential for human error and measurement and recording variations within certification records.
Furthermore, previously known methods for certifying iron for fracture generation are susceptible to operational inefficiencies. For example, certification records are kept in hard copies, which does not allow on-site operators to easily access certifications while in the field, which may be a remote location such as an offshore drilling well. indoors. Furthermore, certification records and the test results associated with them cannot be tracked, updated or reported from a central control center.

Certificate 500 may also contain a summary indication regarding the measured qualities of the selected well equipment device 101 and its relationship to the qualities required by the test specification. For example, the measured wall thickness value 505 appears adjacent to the demanded wall thickness value 506. Additionally, Figure 504 shows a graphical representation of the parameters measured according to the test specification, referred to by the letter key (eg A, B, C).
In some embodiments of the present invention, a certificate can be stored in a recorded data table format so that a lightweight electronic copy of the certificate and an RFID certificate can be stored directly on an RFID tag 135 attached to the 101 equipment. selected well.

If the wall thickness is acceptable, the user can contact if the wall thickness is within 5% of the minimum value established in the test specification. If not, the test user can proceed to the pressure test. If the pressure test is acceptable, the final inspection will be signed by the supervisor in charge. If the test is to continue, the test taker may advance to Level 2 before performing the pressure test.
In Tier 2, as stated in Figure 7, this may include, for example, dismantling and removing and disposing of all rubber seals and worn or corroded parts, and then cleaning and removing grease from the affected parts with some solvent. Also, the test user

If it is acceptable to advance to Level 3, the tester advances to Level 3 before performing the pressure test. Otherwise, the pressure test can be performed as specified for Level 1.
Level 3, as set out in Figure 8, may include, for example, inspecting the part to make sure it is free of all oil, grease, paint, scale, rust and all contaminants that may degrade the result of this inspection. The test user then covers the area to be inspected with a wet fluorescent bath and places a yoke elsewhere to create a magnetic field. The user can pass the part for the magnetic particle test if, using a black light to verify indications of fractures and rechecking at right angles, the user finds no indications of fractures. If the magnetic particle test fails, the user can scrape the iron from the database as set out in Level 1.
