Buckling Considerations
Introduction
Phuel Pressure Control Equipment is designed to be operated with the Phuel
Turnaround Sheave which increases the available tool string length by placing
the grease head assembly in parallel with the riser, while still containing the
well pressure. The equipment arrangement is not fixed and will depend on
both the operation being performed and the rig environment. The purpose of
this document is to determine the maximum stack height for the planned
operation so that the riser stack does not buckle.
Since the wire runs around the sheave and exits at a distance of 20 inches
from the axis of the riser then the bending forces induced by the line force
must be considered along with the buckling stresses. Internal pressure will not
be considered, as even low pressures will create a significant tensile force
that will counteract the effect of the riser weight and any applied line force.
The pressure control equipment can also be used for slickline operations,
which results in the wire existing at a parallel distance of 18 inches from the
riser. Since the maximum line pull for slickline operations is significantly less
than that for braided line then we will not consider this small difference and
treat both operations as the same.
In all operations the top of the riser is attached to the mast to prevent
excessive movement and normally a small amount of tension is applied to
keep the top of the riser in place. The calculations used do not take this into
consideration and results in a conservative maximum stack up height to
maximise safety. The practice of attaching to the mast, however, is still
recommended.
