20100150685 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HANDLING AND STORING PIPE - Modular storage units for handling and storing tubulars in vertical columns, methods for handling and transporting tubulars horizontally in vertical columns, and systems for handling and transporting tubulars horizontally in vertical columns are provided. | 06-17-2010 |
20110091304 | Cartridge tubular handling system - A cartridge of tubulars may be removably positioned with a carriage, and the carriage may move the cartridge transversely, vertically, and/or rotationally to roll tubulars on an adjacent tubular receiving member using only gravity from a selected tier of tubulars without human contact. A single trolley disposed with the tubular receiving member both pushes and pulls tubulars toward or away from the drilling deck. | 04-21-2011 |
20110200413 | DRILLING APPARATUS - A drilling apparatus includes a drill rig which defines a drilling rod axis, a rod magazine for a plurality of rod sections, and a transfer device for transfer of a rod section from the rod magazine and for transfer of the rod section in the drilling rod axis. The transfer device is hereby constructed to travel in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the rod section in relation to the rod magazine. | 08-18-2011 |
20120039688 | PIPE HANDLING SYSTEM, APPARATUS AND METHOD - In one aspect the invention provides a tubular handling system for use with a catwalk and a plurality of tubulars arranged in at least one tier and positioned substantially parallel adjacent the catwalk. The system comprises a tiering assembly positioned between said at least one tier and the catwalk and pipe rolling means adapted to move one or more of said tubular between said at least one tier and the tiering assembly in a sequential bi-directional manner. Preferably, the pipe rolling means comprises an auger, auger drive means and an auger positioning assembly. | 02-16-2012 |
20130195583 | PIPE CONVEYOR APPARATUS - A pipe conveyor apparatus for transporting a joint of pipe between a pipe storage rack and a rig floor elevated above the pipe storage rack. The apparatus includes at least two boom assemblies and a drive assembly. The boom assemblies are positioned such that booms are positioned in a spaced apart, parallel relationship relative to one another so that pipe support lugs of the booms are positioned to support at least two joints of pipe in a spaced apart and substantially horizontal position with the ends of the pipe positioned in a non-contact relationship with respect to the booms. The drive assembly is operably connected to the pipe support lugs in such a way that the pipe support lugs are movable in unison so as to move the joints of pipe between the proximal end and the distal end of the booms. | 08-01-2013 |
20130336748 | Pipe Handling Apparatus and Method - Equipment for moving tubular members from a storage rack to an elevated platform floor is disclosed. A base-mounted articulated support structure has an arcuate trough mounted on top thereof. Loading arms are secured to a side of the pivotal trough for picking up one tubular member from the rack and moving to the platform floor. Unloading arms detachably securable to the trough facilitate movement of the tubular members from the platform floor onto the rack. A plurality of roller sets mounted between the base and the trough supporting structure move the trough along the base for easy reach to the platform floor. | 12-19-2013 |
20130343838 | Walkway with pipe moving elements mechanism and method - A skid mounted walkway with pipe moving elements for moving pipe in a desired direction. In one embodiment, a first walkway and a second walkway comprise at least one movable portion movable to one or more positions to urge pipe away from and/or towards a pipe receptacle and/or away from or towards pipe arm and/or away from or towards a pipe tub. In another embodiment, the moveable portion is retracted. | 12-26-2013 |
20140271045 | SYSTEM FOR ATTACHING A GULLWING TO A CATWALK - A system for connecting a gullwing to a catwalk comprising a gullwing pin movable in an indexer groove that enables a foot pad of the gullwing to remain stationary relative to the catwalk when the gullwing is raised or lowered. | 09-18-2014 |
20150117985 | PIPE CONVEYOR APPARATUS - A pipe conveyor apparatus for transporting a joint of pipe between a pipe storage rack and a rig floor elevated above the pipe storage rack. The apparatus includes at least two boom assemblies and a drive assembly. The boom assemblies are positioned such that booms are positioned in a spaced apart, parallel relationship relative to one another so that pipe support lugs of the booms are positioned to support at least two joints of pipe in a spaced apart and substantially horizontal position with the ends of the pipe positioned in a non-contact relationship with respect to the booms. The drive assembly is operably connected to the pipe support lugs in such a way that the pipe support lugs are movable in unison so as to move the joints of pipe between the proximal end and the distal end of the booms. | 04-30-2015 |
20160017673 | TUBULARS HANDLING SYSTEM AND APPARATUS - System and apparatus ( | 01-21-2016 |
20160160587 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HANDLING RISER PIPE - System and method for handling riser pipes on an offshore vessel having two reciprocally spaced trolleys provided with engagement means able to engage with respective ends of the riser pipe. | 06-09-2016 |
20160168930 | SYSTEM FOR HANDLING RISER PIPE | 06-16-2016 |
