INTRODUCTION
Short about Lidan Engineering.
The company is linked back to 1909,
when the Lidan Motor Company
designed and manufactured marine
winches driven by semi diesel engines.
After a time span of about 75 years
these winches developed into large
hydrostatic driven mooring winch
systems for offshore semisubmersible
platforms. To-day the responsible
company for offshore winches is Lidan
Marine AB, while Lidan Engineering
AB is responsible for diesel-hydraulic drive and braking control systems of
drawworks for offshore/ onshore drilling and workover. Since Lidan Engineering
installed the first Band Brake Control System on a Transocean semi-submersible
drillrig in 1985, the company has included an Autodriller System and an Anti
collision System to its product range.
Through the years the company continuously has developed and improved these
systems and has received DNV (Det Norske Veritas) type approval for the
systems for application on drillrigs world wide. The systems comply with:

The drawworks for land and offshore drillrigs are traditionally composed by a
drum assembly, driven by SCR controlled electromotors through a chain
transmission. The drum is disconnected by an air clutch. At lowering, the drum is
controlled by two independent braking systems; the main brake and the auxiliary
brake. The auxiliary brake is normally an Eddy Current Brake (ECB), which is
connected to the drawworks main shaft through a coupling. The main brake
consists of two brake bands, acting onto the drum rims, and controlled by a heavy
steel lever through a linkage system
Over the years, Lidan Engineering has gained a solid reputation for upgrading of
drawworks of the band brake type, by marketing a unique band brake servo
control system.
Along with increased drilling complexity, improvement of drawworks control
properties has become an important issue. The most significant are:
-
the Autodriller system, which aids the driller to maintain a steady weight on
the drill bit (WOB) and a continuous line Feed Off in order to increase the
drilling parameters and to save the bit wearing for fewer round trips.
the Block Control System, which protects for collision of the travelling block
against the drillfloor, the crown block, racking arms or dolly retract failure
the Servo Control system of the band brakes, increases braking precision
when controlling heavy loads at high speeds and, at the same time, the small,
but rigid servo handle eliminates stress and physical workload to the driller,
which is applied at operating the traditional heavy brake lever.
There are several brands and types of Autodriller systems available on the market.
While other Autodriller systems, require the ECB to be substituted by a Disc
Brake, Lidan can offer the Autodriller still keeping the ECB auxiliary brake as is,
to be utilized for the purpose it was originally designed for!
This has been made possible because the Lidan system controls the drill line Feed
Off by means of the existing brake bands. At the same time, in addition to the
Autodriller system, Lidan can offer a Block Control and Band Brake Servo
Control system.

When designing the Automated Driller system for drillrigs with the drawworks of
band brake type in mind, the key issue was to create a high sensitive band brake
actuator. The development work, with many improvements implemented
gradually over the years, finally resulted in an in-line dual function servo brake
actuator. It incorporates one active and one passive part. The active part is for
responding on the hydraulic signals from the Autodriller system, as well as, when
operating in tripping mode, the signals from drillers brake handle. The passive
part is for an emergency fail safe brake to full stop function. This dual in-line
actuator is the heart of the Lidan Autodriller Feed Off function, which has no
analogues on the market.
The Autodriller control functions and the Brake handle is on one common
console, which, when it is time to add a new stand, the shifting from
autodrilling to manual control simply is by pushing a button on the console.
The console comes either as a pedestal or alternatively, as a panel for integration
with a drillers main console.
The Lidan Autodriller controls the Feed Off through the band brakes without any
influence on the electric brake as is the case when drilling by hand.
In order to prevent for too much of Feed Off , the driller often must apply a short
moment of electric brake activation, with overheating problems as consequence!
2.1.
Lidan ADS Autodriller system for land rigs, jack up and platform rigs
is user-friendly and its functions easy understandable. The ADS Autodriller
system is designed for a high degree of precision in drum line pay out (Feed Off)
and Weight on Bit (WOB) control. This will assure maximum Rate of Penetration
(ROP) utilization, adjustable between 0-120 m/h (on request up to 300 m/h).
With a servo hydraulic encoder motor, linked to the drum shaft via a chain
transmission and hydraulically connected to the brake actuator, a closed loop feed
back system is created, which delivers an absolute steady Constant Speed drill
line Feed Off. Co-ordinated with the WOB electronic function, the system keeps
bit weight within very narrow limits, sometimes as little as +/-100 kg. Feed Off
setting is stored during shift of drill pipes and setting of WOB is fully repeatable.

2.2
The DBS Brake Actuator incorporates dual functions, one active and one passive.
The active function is directed from drillers brake handle for general block
travelling operations, or, when drilling in
automated mode, from the ADS Autodriller
system. The passive actuator, with its fail safe
spring function, is triggered to apply
automatically at a situation when, without
drillers notice, an emergency situation is about to
occur.
The latest model, with the active and passive
functions integrated in one compact in line
actuator, is designed especially with land rigs in
mind. With its reduced dimensions it fits into all
types and sizes of drawworks with band brakes.

The pedestal console is intended for standing driller. For seated driller, as
option, a drillers chair with arm rest consoles is available.
Normally, the direction for the Brake handle for Brake On position is to the
right. This direction conforms to the direction of action of the (replaced) steel
lever, thus keeping up drillers habitual reflexes.
An adapter is welded to the servo actuators brake arm for temporary housing of
the steel lever, which shall be cut to an appropriate length and used only when
adjustment of the brake band adjusting bolts is required.
Pushbuttons and indication lamps for start and stop of the HPU electromotor
and, for emergency use, in case of lost electric power, a second stand by
pump, driven by an air motor.

AUTODRILLING OPERATION:
From the Control Console the driller directs the Brake Actuator and activates the
Autodriller Feed off and WOB functions. Drillers transition from Autodrilling
mode to Pipe handling mode is instant, which is an important aid to reduce the
effect of a drillstring torqueing up.
FEED OFF MODE
The qualities of the Autodriller function goes back to the performance of the
servo brake system as executive body.
The extraordinary creep speed braking characteristics of the brake servo and
brake actuator system makes the ADS Autodriller system to a tool for a highly
increased drilling efficiency.
The Feed-Off system is a fully hydraulic system, integrated with the brake servo
actuator system.
The Feed Off system works as a regulator loop composed by an integral system of
1) The active brake actuator, hydraulically connected to the servo hydraulic
encoder motor and mechanically connected to the brake shaft and the brake
band linkage.
2) The hydraulic encoder motor, which is mechanically connected to the wire
rope drum via a chain transmission, provides feed back information of the
motion of the wire rope drum to the active brake actuator
The feed back system delivers an absolute steady Constant Speed drill line Feed
Off. The hydraulic encoder motor is powered by the HPU and its rotating speed
is controlled from drillers Control Console by means of the Feed Off control
knob. The adjusted setting of the R.P.M. of the encoder motor is proportional to
the Feed Off Rate on hook. The Feed Off can be adjusted from 0 to120 m/hour
(as option up to 300 m/h).
The equilibrium point, where the drum rotation aligns with the Feed Off rate, the
Sweet Spot, is automatically and immediately established, independent of string
weight and Feed Off speed. This feature can easily be observed by temporarily
putting the old mechanical lever into the adaptor to demonstrate how the
indicator distinctly enters into its equilibrium position at an angle which
corresponds to the actual load in the string. Always, from hold through increasing
Feed Off speed, it can be noticed a near to identical angle of the indicator,
oscillating gently around the equilibrium angle, which in turn visualizes that very
stable and even dynamic forces are applied to the string and the brake linkage.
In fact, by using the Feed Off constant speed control as a single means for
drilling, the driller would consider it as an efficient drilling assist tool per say!

Should a drill break happen, the regulated Feed Off decent will simply stay firm
a drop in bit weight only would be indicated on the Weight Indicator.
2. WOB MODE:
The driller uses the Feed off mode until he reaches the desired WOB, indicated
on the Weight Indicator. At pressing the WOB On push button, the WOB is
set and the Autodriller computer becomes active. The bit weight remains
initially within a preset span e.g. +/- 300 kg. Along with the computers
calculating against a dedicated algorithm, the fluctuation of the bit weight
successively gets reduced to as much as 50% or less, which means a WOB set
target value, e.g. 10 ton +/- < 150 kg.
Two indication lamps remain steady green lightning confirm that WOB is within
permitted span. If by any reason the WOB should come outside of the preset
span on plus or minus side, he corresponding indication lamp will start flashing,
i.e. should the green lamp for WOB low start to flash, it will notice the driller to
increase Feed Off . Typically, WOB low flashing would apply in case of a drill
break, thus immediately alerting the driller about the situation!
Within a few seconds the drilling mode may be switched over to hoisting mode,
e.g. when it is time to shift for a new drill pipe stand, or, in an emergency
situation, should a torque up tendency call for an urgent drill string pull up. By
pushing the Feed Off button, the Autodriller function interrupts, indicated by the
shut off of the green light indications. The driller may now release the brake by
means of the servo control handle and operate the clutch and drawworks throttle
as usual. When again driller wishes to resume drilling, the Feed Off rate and
WOB setting remains stored as was previously adjusted and he simply proceeds
the drilling operation by pushing ROP and WOB on.
