Varco Systems Amphion Tool Control Control and Integrated Rig Systems Varco Systems Amphion Tool Control and Integrated Rig Systems
Amphion Controllers - Tool Tool Control Platform Varco's commitment to providing far greater levels of automation at a fraction of the complexity of traditional control systems has resulted in the development of the Amphion platform. Unlike conventional PLC based systems, which typically require a separate tool control cabinet for each tool, the Amphion platform accommodates up to nine separate Amphion Controllers in one MultiTool Control Cabinet (MTC). The OLD Way Way - Conventional PLC technology requires indi- vidual tool control cabinets for each tool.
Varco’s Varco’s new systems place remote I/O directly on individual tools, eliminating hundreds and sometimes thousands of terminations on the installation and minimizing space requirements in local equipment rooms.
Amphion CS Integrated Rig Systems HMI (Human Machine Interface) screen based systems provide greater flexibility to the drilling process within an integrated rig control scheme. Such systems, often named SCADA systems, offer improved productivity while increasing operator safety. However, adding this functionality to a rig typically requires even more cabinets filled with PC’s and data acquisition servers, adding a high level of complication and long term “IT” support for these installations. The Amphion platform changes this traditional paradigm by embedding all of the attributes of a typical Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system into each and every tool controller. controller. These attributes include full diagnostics, graphing, trending, alarming and logging. Full access to this functionality is through any networked thin-client HMI (not a PC!) with a web browser.
MTC The NEW way - Simple, compact, lightweight Multi-Tool Control Cabinet offers tremendous cost and space saving advantages.
While the Amphion Controller is similar to a programmable logic controller (PLC) in robustness, size, and application, it also offers several improvements over the traditional PLC: ■

Over 50 times the processing power allows for true robotics and a much higher level of automation for tools like Pipe Racking Systems and ZMS collision avoidance. Industry standard flash storage media (Compact Flash) has 1,000 times greater capacity for system, application and data logging storage. Built-in web server allows any networked computer having a web browser to access sophisticated screens that run Setup Wizards, Diagnostics and display Tool Manuals/Drawings and Operator's Screens.
Operator workstations are simply composed of thin-client HMI’s running web browsers on the network. Each Varco tool on the network offers it own web server. Process specific screens (Drill, Trip, etc.) enable complete control of active equipment from one screen. Varco Drilling Tools Operator Workstations Profibus

Varco Systems Electronic Driller ElectronicDriller
Maximizing the drilling performance of today's complex drilling programs requires greater control of the drawworks. Varco's Electronic Driller provides that control by helping drillers carefully monitor multiple parameters and make instant control adjustments. Field data on the Electronic Driller indicates a significant reduction in average rotating hours when compared to offset wells drilled with pneumatic auto drillers or by hand. Electronic Driller is the only auto drilling system that maintains a constant drilling state through continuous pay out of the drill line. This constancy ensures optimum bit contact with the formation, thereby reducing bit bounce and increasing productivity. Equally impressive is the greater repeatability of drilling performance in wells drilled with the Electronic Driller. Varco's drilling system also provides safer rig operations during tripping. Connection times improve because the Electronic Driller can reposition the elevator for the floormen and derrickman, which reduces driller stress by helping him with critical control functions.
36
Disc Brakes To achieve the full benefits of the Electronic Drillers' control capabilities, the Drawworks auxiliary brake is replaced by a plate disc brake assembly. Unlike electromagnetic or traditional band brakes, Electronic Driller is able to use the plate disc brake to maintain a constant drilling state under varying load conditions. For rigs with existing disc brakes, the Electronic Driller can easily be integrated for proper control. For rigs without disc brakes, the Varco system offers a disc brake module, suitable for rig upgrades or new drawworks installations. And since our disc brake remains virtually silent during operation (in contrast to band brakes), the rig crew enjoys a safer working environment. Actual brake specification and configuration will depend on a rig survey.
Electronic Driller Features Maintains steady drilling condition through improved control of the Drawworks' disc brake ■ Maintains a constant control parameter, i.e. WOB, delta-P (used with downhole motor) or surface torque ■ Ability to monitor and switch between control parameters (WOB, delta-P, torque and ROP) ■ Secondary parameters can be used to respond to abnormal drilling conditions ■ Varco's control logic allows for smooth, continuous pay out of drill line ■ Safer rig operations through block control and the elimination of band brake’s quealing ■ Crown and floor savers prevent traveling assembly collisions ■ Traveling block speed limits protect against swab and surge effects ■ Weight deviation (pipe drag) monitoring detects overpull and slack-off weight situations during POOH and RIH ■ Fully integrates with Rigsense and V-ICIS systems ■

The Varco PHM is an integrated system that automatically trips stands of drill pipe and drill collars, breaks them out or makes them up (using Varco’s Iron Roughnecks™ automatic torque and spinning wrench) and racks them, ready for the next trip. The entire system is under the complete control of an operator, in an environmentallycontrolled cabin, who monitors the operation through a closed circuit camera located directly above the fingerboard. The operator, driller and single floor hand are all the personnel required to run a drilling system inside the derrick. And because of the PHM’s modular design, it can be factory assembled and tested, reducing the time and cost of installation.

Varco Systems Automated Iron Roughnecks™ Automated Iron Roughnecks™
AR3200, AR4500 and AR5000 Over twenty years ago, Varco engineers began addressing the safety and efficiency issues created by the movement of tubulars from the pipe deck to well center. The Varco Iron Roughneck was to become the first in a long series of proven pipe-handling products. Each has been designed to provide “handsoff” tubular handling at well center by automating the making and breaking of connections. The Varco Automated Iron Roughneck AR3200 includes the latest advancements in automated pipe handling. At the touch of a button, the unit automatically moves along its tracks to the tool joint, spins in and makesup, or breaks-out and spins out the connection, and then moves back to its home position.
AR4500
The Varco AR4500 incorporates the technological innovations of its predecessors while adding additional features required on large offshore rigs. Incorporation of a variable elevation spinning wrench and an integrated Mud Bucket allows handling of many types of tubulars such as fluted drill collars, stabilizers, crossover subs, downhole motor sleeves, MWD tools and tri-cone and diamond-type drill bits. The AR5000, using the features of the AR4500, incorporates a modular design that allows the Spintorq module to be removed from the carriage and replaced with other modules such as one for a 10 3 /4” or 20” casing module.

Foxhole ® Slip Assembly
Varco offers two Auxiliary Foxhole ® Systems that provide the Pipehandling System with the ability to make-up or break-out stands off-line while drilling ahead. Foxhole ® Hoist Assembly (FHA) – The FHA is composed of a square Foxhole® tube (28 feet only) with a traveling bottom, or plug, attached to a hoist assembly. The Cylinder Hoist Assembly moves the plug inside the Foxhole® tube and is capable of hoisting 22,000 lb. through 28 feet of stroke. The lifting capacity of the Hoist Assembly comes from an 8-inch-bore cylinder mounted to a guide framework. At the base of the frame on the cylinder system is a crown-like arrangement with four sheaves that provide a 4:1 advantage for the hoist. The entire lifting cable is concealed under the drill floor. Foxhole ® Slip Assembly (FSA) – The FSA provides an alternative to the FHA with a simple set of remotely operated Foxhole ® slips to aid stand building when used with a PRS-3i, PRS-4i, PRS-6is, or PRS-8i. The system mounts flush with the rig floor and can support a range from 2 7 /8” up to 20” with a maximum load of 22,000 lbs. FHA Specifications Lift Capacity

Varco Systems Pipe Deck Machine Pipe Deck Machine
PDM “Pipemite” The Pipe Deck Machine (PDM) handles tubulars on the pipe deck without physical intervention by the rig crew. Moving horizontally along a deck-mounted track, the PDM covers the entire pipe deck area to transfer tubulars to and from the horizontal storage racks and conveyor. The system is designed for installation on existing rigs with minimal modifications to pipe deck and substructure.
The PDM can hoist drill collars up to 9 3 /4” and casing up to 20” diameter with a hoisting range of approximately 11 feet. This allows singles to be handled over the samson posts and onto a conveyor. Tubulars are retained by a lifting head with adjustable plates to fit the diameter of the tubular. The design of these plates creates an underside support for the tubulars. The PDM boom tilts to limit bending of the tubulars and interference with the samson post or conveyors. An optional CCTV can also be housed in the boom to provide close-up visibility of the jaw, ensuring accurate positioning on the pipedeck. And the PDM’s modular design facilitates factory testing to decrease installation time and rig costs. Specifications Physical Weight

Varco Systems Marine Riser Handling System Marine Riser Handling System
RHS
Varco offers two Riser Handling Systems (RHS) for handling marine riser to and from the well center. Applications for RHS range from conventional marine riser systems on floating rigs to special riser systems used on tension leg platforms. The system also can be used as a fixed installation for handling casing and conductor pipe. When the RHS is integrated with other Varco mechanized equipment such as a top drive, block retract system and Pipe Racking System, they comprise a complete “hands off” riser handling system that improves safety of riser running operations, enhances performance and reduces operating costs.
RHS-2 The RHS-2 consists of a compound “trolley on trolley” system that is chain-driven by hydraulic motors. The lower trolley runs from the catwalk to just short of well center and then pivots up so the front end cantilevers over well center via a stabilized hydraulic lift system. This allows the upper trolley to guide the riser to well center clearing large riser spiders. The upper trolley support bucket pivots while guiding the riser. The lower cart has a multi-axle front roller assembly with a long wheel base to allow travel over limited floor gaps created by gantry crane tracks/path requirements.
RHS-1 This system consists of two hydraulically powered trolleys that run on a cogged rail. The trolleys are linked hydraulically only when sharing a riser load; otherwise they are powered independently. A support saddle for the rear trolley pivots, allowing the trolley to guide and support the rear riser almost to well center as the front end is being hoisted by a TDS into the derrick. Each trolley is equipped with changeable buckets to adapt to various configurations of riser.

TDS-10SA The TDS-10SA Top Drive is a single motor top drive developed for use in a variety of land and workover rig applications. It generates 350 HP with a hoisting capacity of 250 tons and a continuous drilling torque rating of 20,000 ft. lbs. The 10SA has a maximum speed of 182 RPM and makeup/break-out torque of 36,500 ft. lbs. Because of the broad speed and torque range of AC motor technology, this impressive performance is obtained using a single-speed gear box. The TDS-10SA Top Drive system is driven by a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) control system for a greater range of torque and speed performance. System components include an integrated swivel, bi-directional link tilt system, remote and manual blowout preventer valves, back-up clamp for breaking out connections, guide tube for reacting drilling torque and an electric service loop. A compact integral power unit mounted on the top drive eliminates the need for hydraulic service loops. And the short overall height and rapid-installation guide beam design of the 10SA ensure easy installation in existing masts or derricks. The TDS-10SA is available for purchase, lease or rental.

Varco Systems Auxiliary Equipment RBS Raised Back-Up System
AuxiliaryEquipment
Hydraulic Power Supplies Varco hydraulic power supplies provide a reliable means of powering the automated systems on a rig. The units are skid mounted and enclosed for easy handling and safe operations. Large reservoirs are top-mounted for positive fluid feed, have water-to-oil heat exchangers and ten-micron filters with pressure gauges. They are available in dual, triple and quad configurations and generate up to 3,000 psi.
When connections have to be made “off bottom” or when the drill string has to be elevated to allow for heave motion on floaters, the Varco RBS tong unit is the ideal solution. The RBS positions the drill pipe stand over the elevated box of the drill string, which is held in the hydraulic jaws of the system. The RBS is available in three configurations. The system is capable of making connections up to 18 feet above the drill floor.

A PRHA provides 1000ton hoisting capacity by combining Varco’s BJ 51000 Hook with a 10port powered rotating adapter assembly. The PRHA design allows for 360º Hook rotation under a single riser section loading as well as independent BX Elevators operation and TDS counterbalancing to provide a hydraulic cushion when making and breaking drill string connections. The PRHA uses instrumented load pins to provide real-time drill string weight data to monitoring equipment. Varco also offers a smaller, nonpowered 750-ton version.
