Troubleshooting techniques for slow rising speed of top drive plug valve

The installation of Xinjiang top drive plug is very simple, just fix it at the end of the drill pipe, insert the drill pipe into the well, and pull up the entire well control system. Control the operation of the top drive plug from the ground. If it needs to be disassembled, simply tighten or remove it. Top drive plug is a professional equipment used for oil and gas well drilling, also known as "drill pipe cover" or "plug valve". This device can prevent mud leakage or other debris from entering the wellbore halfway through the drill pipe, and also prevent the danger generated during the operation of the drill pipe.

The working principle of the top drive plug is very simple and easy to understand. After drilling into the pipe, the top drive plug will automatically support the wellhead and seal it. When underground operations such as water injection and pressure testing are required, simply cut off the power and rotate the motor load to open the sealed part. Therefore, the top drive plug has the advantages of convenient use, easy operation, and reliable performance.

Troubleshooting techniques for slow rising speed of Xinjiang top drive plug valve

When the top drive plug rises too slowly, there are generally two possible reasons: insufficient system pressure and excessive chuck load.

For the first scenario, the following solution can be adopted:

1. Check if the system pressure meets the minimum requirement for the top drive plug. If not, increase the pressure, adjust the manifold network, or increase the number of pump stations.

2. Check if the pump station is operating normally, and repair it promptly if there are any faults.

For the second scenario, the following solution can be adopted:

1. Reduce drill string length or adjust drilling parameters to reduce chuck load.

2. Check if the friction of the chuck is too high, and if lubricating oil is needed.

The top drive plug still plays an important role in the connection of drilling equipment. It can connect drill rods together to make them more sturdy, thus enabling better execution of drilling tasks. The top drive plug and drill pipe work together to support drilling operations and improve efficiency and effectiveness. It can effectively reduce the risks for operators during the drilling process, while also protecting equipment from damage.

The application range of top drive plug valves is very wide. In oil and gas exploration and production, it is commonly used for drilling deep wells and repairing wellbore wear. In geothermal development, the top drive plug is mainly used for supporting the wellhead structure in wells with high wellbore difficulty and small diameter, as well as before drilling. In water well drilling, it can be used for sealing and supporting deeper wellheads, with good performance.
