Abstract: Top drive casing running tool, because of its convenience, speed and safety, has been widely received by the research enterprises of petroleum mechanism and instrument. Now, there have been developed several kinds of casing running tools which have gradually been used by the drilling corporation at home and abroad. The slips system’s parameters, such as the axial thrust, slips length, teeth form, teeth interval, etc., directly affect the performance and safety of casing running tools. Those have no reports about correlative theoretical investigation results. Here, we found the mechanical analysis model between slip and casing and gain the minimum primitive axis thrust of slips. Then the minimum teeth interval of the slips is deduced by contact mechanics. And then the slips available working length is worked out through the shell theory and empirical formulas. Finally, based on finite element method, we obtain tooth form angles’ recommendable range by studying the tooth form. This study supplies theoretical basis to structural design of slips system of the top drive casing running tool.

Abstract: It is very important to process acid and fracturing treatment in oil field to improve permeability. The fracturing pump is one of the key equipment for Acid and fracturing treatment. The valve box of fracturing pump is fundamental, costly and wearing parts. Based on the data from domestic and abroad, the life of the valve box is short. Fatigue cracks caused by alternating stress and erosion account for the most invalidation of the valve box. Only increasing structural size and improving material property are not efficient to prolong service life. Related studies show that hydraulic self-enhancement technology is an effective method and it is used widely to improve service life of fracturing pump’s hydraulic parts. Here hydraulic self-enhancement process was simulated by finite element method and 600 Horse Power fracturing pump was studied. The optimal self-enhancement pressure and loading-unloading treatment method are suggested. This study offers a method to found valve box's production technics by hydraulic self-enhancement technology.
