Abstract

The relevance of the work is due to the need of the oil industry in the tripping mechanization when working with the drilling, casing and compressor tubes with simultaneous reduction in the installation, disassembly and transportation of the pipe storage units while ensuring the required technological capabilities. The purpose of the article is to consider the possible design improvement of the mechanized V-door ramp in order to simplify the oil well construction or repair. The article presents an analysis of existing equipment for the operation mechanization with the horizontal pipe laying, as one of the most common type of laying. The requirements for the mechanized V-door ramp are determined. The advantages of automation of the drill-pipe connection operations using the mechanized V-door ramps are analyzed. The results are as follows: the functional analysis of the means and equipment for the tripping mechanization allows to compile the functional and constructive classification of pipe stand receivers and mechanized V-door ramps. The task is set to use the systematic approach to find the ways for the efficiency improvement of the tripping mechanization means with the horizontal pipe laying.
