Patent number: 9637984Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for installing control lines and pipe into a well. The pipe-holding spider that is normally mounted on the rig floor is adapted for easy disassembly and reassembly when the pipe slips within the spider are not engaged with the outer surface of the pipe string so that upon disassembly, a control line guide becomes vertically movable. The control line guide is adapted for being controllably elevated to a distance above the rig floor, thereby providing personnel access to a portion of the length of the pipe string below the elevated control line guide and above the rig floor for securing control line to the pipe string using a fastener.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2014Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: Frank's International, LLCInventors: Charles Michael Webre, Vernon Joseph Bouligny, Jr., Brian David Begnaud, Mark Stephen Sibille

Publication number: 20090126536Abstract: Method and apparatus to make-up or break-out a threaded tubular connection using an integrated power tong and back-up tong (10). The power tong (20) may be disabled upon sensing a predetermined threshold amount of displacement of at least a portion of a back-up tong (14). The sensed displacement indicates that the back-up tong (14) is slipping, and power tong (20) rotation may be disabled to prevent damage to the pipe string (16) or surrounding equipment. A slippage sensor (40) may be disposed to sense displacement of at least a portion of the back-up tong (14) relative to a supporting frame (12). In one embodiment, the slippage sensor (40) may be operatively coupled to a valve (50) disposed in communication with a fluid line (46) supplying power fluid to the power tong (20). The power tong (20) may be disabled by impairing flow to the power tong (20) upon sensing a predetermined displacement of the back-up tong (14).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2007Publication date: May 21, 2009Applicant: FRANK'S CASING CREW & RENTAL TOOLS, INC.Inventors: Brian David Begnaud, Mark Stephen Sibille

Patent number: 7182133Abstract: At least one sensor is mounted for monitoring the vertical position of an elevator relative to selected features on a tubular string. A variety of sensor types is provided. Optional mounting arrangement permits the sensors to be situated close to a tubular and free to move laterally. Excess lateral movement of the tubular moves the mounting; thus, reducing the shock to the sensors. In an additional embodiment, a sensor can provide position indication for tools or other equipment being lowered into the wellbore or into a tubular. In yet another embodiment, sensors are mounted to both indicate selected features on a tubular string and the position of tools being lowered into the tubular string.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2003Date of Patent: February 27, 2007Assignee: Frank's Casing Crew and Rental Tools, Inc.Inventors: Charles Michael Webre, Michael Wayne Olivier, Jeremy Richard Angelle, Vernon Joseph Bouligny, Jr., Mark Stephen Sibille, Richard J.
