Abstract
The present invention relates to a tubing rotator assembly for attachment to an existing casing head for purposes of suspending and rotating a tubing string in an oil well. In the preferred embodiment, the tubing assembly includes a rotation surface, such as a bearing, in which a tubing mandrel rests and allows one to rotate the tubing manually above the wellhead. It provides a low profile reducing the distance between the casing head and the pumping tee, which may eliminate the need for one to raise the pumping unit to fit on the rotator. In addition, the conventional seals above the rotation surface have less chance of leaking fluids located between the casing and tubing due to the seals potentially installed in the present invention. In addition, if the conventional seals do start to leak, then one can change the packing rubber without having to remove the tubing rotator assembly or tubing string (thus, not requiring a rig to change the sealing elements). The tubing assembly includes a mandrel bowl that rests inside the casing head. The mandrel bowl has an interior ledge in which the bearing may be placed on top of the ledge. A tubing mandrel is partially contained within the interior of the mandrel bowl with one end exiting the bottom of the bowl and attached to the tubing string in the well, and the opposite end of the tubing mandrel exiting the top of the bowl. The tubing mandrel has a ledge which is rotatably mounted to the mandrel bowl. Said ledge of the tubing mandrel is supported on the bearing, which bearing rests on the interior ledge of the mandrel bowl. The ledge of the tubing mandrel therefore engages and rotatably rides against the bearing. This arrangement allows the tubing to rotate by rotating the tubing mandrel resting on the bearing located inside the mandrel bowl.

- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates to a tubing rotator assembly that sits inside a casing head for purposes of suspending and rotating the tubing string in an oil well.
- 2. Brief Description of Prior Art
- A typical wellhead is often comprised of a casing head which engages or is otherwise mounted to a casing string contained within a wellbore of a well at the surface. A mandrel bowl is mounted to the casing head and provides a support mechanism for the tubing string which is contained within the wellbore.
- The production of fluids from an oil and gas well often involves the use of a downhole pump that can pump fluids to the surface through the tubing string. This downhole pump is often mechanically actuated through the use of a rod string located within the tubing string. The rod string is usually reciprocated up and down at the surface or, rotated at the surface to impart motion on the pump. The reciprocation or rotation of the rod string causes the rods to wear against the tubing, which may cause the tubing string to wear thin and develop a hole in the tubing. This wear action also wipes off chemical inhibitors that may be placed into a well to minimize corrosion of the tubing and rods by the production fluids. Thus, the wear action can also lead to tubing holes due to corrosion since the inhibitors are wiped off. These wear related holes in the tubing causes inefficient lift or no lift of the fluids to the surface and typically requires a rig to service the well. Reducing the failure frequency of the tubing strings will not only reduce operating costs but also will allow additional oil to be developed by reducing the economic production rate limit of each well.
- Since 1927, several patents have been obtained on variations to tubing rotators that generally rotate the tubing manually or automatically to attempt to reduce the frequency of tubing holes developed due to the wearing action of the rods. Conventional casing heads are not typically able to be retrofitted to accommodate the necessary structure of a tubing rotator. Further, the tubing rotators of the prior art typically use gears and drive assembly to rotate the tubing. As a result, a housing is normally required to be attached above the casing head to provide room for the gearing and allow a rod to exit the tubing rotators of the prior art to allow manual rotation or automatic/continuous rotation of the tubing string.
- These prior art designs therefore often include several seals to seal off the rod attached to the gears, seal the fluids between the casing and tubing, and further seal fluids produced up the tubing from exiting the tubing string into the atmosphere, ground, or annulus between the tubing and casing. The rotators with continuous rotation commonly have more corrosion holes due to wear than a manual or intermittent rotator, and fail when a gear mechanism fails and may damage the rotator or wellhead assembly due to the torque imparted on the gears. In addition, the positioning of a housing on top of the casing head is more costly and may involve the need to raise the pumping unit due to large spacing requirements between the casing head and the pump tee.
- As will be seen from the subsequent description, the preferred embodiments of the present invention overcome these and other shortcomings of prior art.
- There is need for a compact tubing rotator that may be operated manually, reduces the height clearance between the casing head and the pump tee, is inexpensive, has minimal seals to potentially fail and leak fluids, provides for replacement of rubbers or seals that protect the atmosphere and environment from leaking fluids without removing the tubing rotator or tubing string from the well, provides additional seals to minimize or stop contamination of the grease packed bearing housing from wellbore or external fluids, utilizes commonly available equipment to reduce costs of repairs, and provides ease of installation and use.
- The present invention is an apparatus for attachment within an existing casing head or within a casing head modified to accept a bowl or ledge assembly. In the preferred embodiment, this apparatus has a bearing in which a tubing mandrel rests and allows one to rotate the tubing manually above the wellhead. It provides a low profile reducing the distance between the casing head and the pumping tee, which may eliminate the need for one to raise the pumping unit to fit on the rotator. In addition, the conventional seals located above the bowl assembly have less chance of leaking fluids located between the casing and tubing as a result of the seals installed in the present invention. In addition, if the conventional rubber element starts to leak, then one can change the sealing elements without having to remove the tubing rotator assembly or tubing string from the well.
- This invention relates to a tubing rotator assembly that sits in a casing head for purposes of suspending and rotating the tubing string in an oil well. The assembly includes a mandrel bowl or mandrel support that rests in the casing head. The mandrel bowl has an interior ledge with a surface on which a bearing may be placed. A tubing mandrel is partially contained within the interior of the mandrel bowl with one end exiting the bottom of the mandrel bowl and attached to the tubing string in the well, and the opposite end of the tubing mandrel exiting the top of the mandrel bowl. The tubing mandrel has a ledge which is rotatably mounted to the mandrel bowl. Said ledge of the tubing mandrel is supported on the bearing, which bearing rests on the interior ledge of the mandrel bowl. The ledge of the tubing mandrel therefore engages and rotatably rides against the bearing. This arrangement allows the tubing to rotate by rotating the mandrel residing on the bearing disposed on the interior ledge of the mandrel bowl. The top of the tubing mandrel may be connected to a swivel, or be an integral part of the swivel, or connected to a union in such a manner to allow one to rotate the tubing by turning the mandrel and or rotating part of the swivel. Normally, one would use a handle or pipe wrench to manually turn the mandrel or swivel or union that extends above the wellhead or, a device known in the art may be applied to automatically turn the mandrel or swivel or union..
- Seals are provided (but not necessary) to isolate the interior of the mandrel bowl from fluids from the well or outside the well, thereby preserving any lubrication of the bearings and minimizing corrosion or contamination inside the mandrel bowl area. Seals may also be placed on the outside of the mandrel bowl or bowl plate, or inside the casing head, in order to provide additional sealing of the fluids between the casing and tubing strings. A bowl plate is positioned on top of the mandrel bowl with seals preferred to allow sealing between the bowl plate and the mandrel bowl and also between the bowl plate and the tubing mandrel. This allows the tubing rotator assembly to be a self contained unit with connection ends above and below the mandrel bowl to allow connection to the tubing string below the mandrel bowl and connection to a swivel, union, or other material to allow fluids to exit the wellbore from the tubing.
- FIG. 1 is a front view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a tubing saver rotator.
- FIGS.2-4 are front views of the tubing rotator saver of FIG. 1 without the standard equipment generally found on wellheads.
- FIG. 5 illustrates a front view of an alternate embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 6 illustrates a front view of a second alternate embodiment of the present invention.
- FIGS.1-4 illustrate a preferred embodiment of a tubing
saver rotator assembly 100 made in accordance with the present invention. Generally, the present invention is an apparatus for attachment in an existing casing head or a casing head modified to accept a bowl or ledge assembly. This apparatus having a surface, such as a bearing in which a tubing mandrel rests and allows one to rotate the tubing above the wellhead. It provides a low profile reducing the distance between the casing head and the pumping tee, which may eliminate the need for one to raise the pumping unit to fit on the rotator. In addition, the conventional seals above the bowl assembly have less chance of leaking fluids located between the casing and tubing due to the seals potentially installed in the present invention. In addition, if the conventional seals do start to leak, one can change the sealing elements without having to remove thetubing rotator assembly 100 or tubing string (not shown) from the well. In the preferred embodiment, the present invention includes a pin end projecting upwardly from the mandrel or from the swivel joint. This allows a rig to pick up the mandrel and attach it to the pump tee above the wellhead and to the tubing string below the mandrel by simply screwing on two connections as will be further described. A conventional screwdriver or hex wrench will allow replacement of all the seals in the bowl and tubing mandrel assembly if replacement becomes necessary. If the fluids between the casing head and tubing string start to leak around the wellhead, sealing elements may be tightened to effect a good seal, or the seal elements may be replaced and tightened without removing the tubing rotator or tubing string with a rig. This provides ease and speed of repair by one person in lieu of a conventional rig job, which may help the environment and lower operating costs. - Referring to FIG. 1, the tubing
saver rotator assembly 100 includes amandrel bowl 1 having aledge support 1A, saidmandrel bowl 1 positioned on aninterior lip 17A within acasing head 17. Atubing mandrel 2 having an extendingmandrel ledge 10 is rotatably mounted to themandrel bowl 1. In the preferred embodiment, saidmandrel ledge 10 of thetubing mandrel 2 is substantially perpendicular to the length of thetubing mandrel 2 however, it is understood that themandrel ledge 10 may be disposed at other angles in relationship to thetubing mandrel 2 and achieve the objectives described herein. - Said
mandrel ledge 10 may be supported on the surface of theledge support 1A of themandrel bowl 1 or, as shown in the drawings, may be supported on abearing 3, whichbearing 3 rests on theledge support 1A of themandrel bowl 1. Themandrel ledge 10 and theledge support 1A therefore captures thebearing 3 therebetween. Themandrel ledge 10 of thetubing mandrel 2 therefore engages and rotatably rides against thebearing 3. Abowl plate 4 is attached to themandrel bowl 1 with bowl plate screws 5 selectively located around thebowl plate 4. A lowerinterior bowl seal 6, abowl plate seal 7, and amandrel plate seal 8 prevents fluid from contaminating saidbearing 3. - The lower end of the
tubing mandrel 2 is attached to the tubing string (not shown) with alower connection 9, and the opposite end of thetubing mandrel 2 is attached to aswivel 12 with anupper connection 11. Said lower and upper connection means 9, 11, is known in the art. As shown in FIG. 1, theswivel 12 is attached to anupper end 2A of thetubing mandrel 2, which allows alower part 12A of theswivel 12 to rotate with thetubing mandrel 2. Anupper part 13 of theswivel 12 may be attached to a stationary pump tee (not shown). Aswivel cap 14 connects thelower part 12A of theswivel 12 to theupper part 13 of theswivel 12, and seals 15, 16, and 21 are provided in theswivel 12 to prevent leakage or entry of fluids from thetubing mandrel 2 or environment. A union (not shown) could be used in lieu of theswivel 12 as well as substitution of other types of mechanisms known in the art to allow rotation or, thetubing mandrel 2 may be attached directly to the pump tee with the pump tee designed to allow some movement or rotation. - A rubber or packing
element 18 is disposed on top of thebowl plate 4. Atop plate 19 is then disposed on top of the rubber or packingelement 18, saidtop plate 19 is compressed down to squeeze therubber element 18 between thetop plate 19 and thebowl plate 4 by acasing head dognut 20. Thedognut 20 may be removed to grease thebearing 3 area if desired or to replace thetop plate 19,rubber element 18,bowl plate 4, bowl plate screws 5,bowl plate seal 7, ormandrel plate seal 8. This arrangement allows most seals to be easily replaced by one person without removing thetubing mandrel 2 andmandrel bowl 1 which would normally require a rig in prior art designs. Thedognut 20 may be tightened down from time to time if any wellbore fluids start to leak out of thecasing head 17 or it may be tightened after replacing therubber element 18. Theseals rubber element 18 will leak and thereby provides extra sealing protection. - FIG. 2 illustrates the
rotator assembly 100 shown in FIG. 1 without the standard equipment normally on certain wellheads. Thus a rig only needs to pick up the entirepre-assembled rotator assembly 100 and stab the bottom pin into the tubing string, lower themandrel bowl 1 into the well with the rig, and then attach the swivel and/or pump tee (depending on if the rig desired to install the swivel separately or as one piece). Thebowl 1 may then be packed off in the wellhead with the plates and rubber element that are standard equipment for that wellhead. - Various options may be chosen to enhance or reduce the cost of the
rotator assembly 100. For example, theseals bearing 3 area during installation or operation of the oil and gas well. Seals or packing could also be used between themandrel bowl 1 andcasing head 17 to provide extra backup seals or eliminate the need for thebowl plate seal 7. If care is taken during installation, themandrel plate seal 8 may be eliminated if therubber element 18 is providing a good seal. In addition, themandrel plate seal 8 may be replaced with a seal between the outer diameter of themandrel ledge 10 and themandrel bowl 1, a seal between thetubing mandrel 2 and the inner diameter of thebowl plate 4, and/or a seal between thetop plate 19 and thetubing mandrel 2. In addition, seals may be used between thebowl plate 4 and thecasing head 17, or between thetop plate 19 and thecasing head 17, in order to provide additional backup seals, or to eliminate therubber element 18. - FIG. 5 illustrates an alternate embodiment of a
tubing saver rotator 200. Therotator assembly 200 includes atubing mandrel 32 having an extendingmandrel ledge 38. Saidmandrel ledge 38 may be rotatably supported on atop surface 31A of abottom plate 31 or, as shown in FIG. 6, may be supported on abearing 33, which bearing 33 rests on thetop surface 31A of thebottom plate 31. Themandrel ledge 38 and thebottom plate 31 therefore captures the bearing 33 therebetween. Themandrel ledge 38 of thetubing mandrel 32 therefore engages and rotatably rides against thebearing 33. As shown in FIG. 5, thebottom plate 31 disposed between aninterior edge 50A of acasing head 50 and anexterior edge 32A of thetubing mandrel 32. Thebottom plate 31 therefore supports thebearing 33. Amandrel plate 34 rests on top of themandrel ledge 38 and is disposed between theinterior edge 50A of thecasing head 50 and theexterior edge 32A of thetubing mandrel 32. A lowerinterior bowl seal 36,exterior plate seal 35, and amandrel plate seal 37 prevents fluid from contaminating saidbearing 33. - The lower end of the
tubing mandrel 32 is attached to the tubing string (not shown) with alower connection 39, and the opposite end of thetubing mandrel 32 is attached to aswivel 43 with anupper connection 41. The lower and upper connection means 39, 41 are known in the art. Theswivel 43 is attached to anupper end 32B of thetubing mandrel 32, which allows alower part 42 of theswivel 43 to rotate with thetubing mandrel 32. Anupper part 43A of theswivel 43 may be attached to a stationary pump tee (not shown). Aswivel cap 44 connects thelower part 42 of theswivel 43 to theupper part 43A of theswivel 43, and seals 45, 46, and 51 are provided in theswivel 43 to prevent leakage or entry of fluids from thetubing mandrel 32 or environment. A union (not shown) may be used in lieu of theswivel 43 as well as substitution of other types of mechanisms to allow rotation or, thetubing mandrel 32 may be attached directly to the pump tee with the pump tee designed to allow some movement or rotation. - A rubber or packing
element 47 is disposed on top of themandrel plate 34. Atop plate 48 is then disposed on the rubber or packingelement 47, saidtop plate 48 is compressed down to squeeze therubber element 47 between thetop plate 48 and themandrel plate 34 by acasing head dognut 49. Thedognut 49 may be removed to grease the bearing 33 area if desired or to replace thetop plate 48,rubber element 47,mandrel plate 34, ormandrel plate seal 37. - Other options exist to use existing casing heads or modify the casing head design as shown in FIG. 5 to accept the
bottom plate 31 that provides thetop surface 31A of thebottom plate 31 for thebearing 33 to be rotatably supported on, withseals bottom plate 31, if desired. Further, other options exist to connect themandrel plate 34 to thebottom plate 31 such as using bolts, supports, or other connection means known in the art. - The
mandrel plate 34 may include additional seals (not shown) on the internal and/or external diameter of themandrel plate 34, if desired. It should be further understood that in shallow wells, the bearing 33 may not be necessary to turn thetubing mandrel 32 if a good surface is provided between thebottom plate 31 and themandrel ledge 38. - The purpose of the present invention is to have the mandrel bowl1 (FIG. 1) or bottom plate 31 (FIG. 5) for the support of the tubing mandrel rotatable on the bearing surface attached to the string of tubing in the well. A bearing may or may not be used between the mandrel ledge and the bowl ledge support or bottom plate. The bearing would preferably be a thrust bearing and could be of the cylindrical roller bearing, needle bearing, tapered roller bearing, spherical bearing, and/or ball bearings. Thrust washers or a good surface between the mandrel ledge and the bottom plate could be used if the thrust weight is low enough to allow rotation of the tubing mandrel.
- Referring again to FIG. 1, in the preferred embodiment seals are positioned between the
tubing mandrel 2 and themandrel bowl 1, between thebowl plate 4 and themandrel bowl 1, and between thebowl plate 4 and themandrel ledge 10. Additional or alternate seals to prevent installation contamination or contamination from outside fluids if therubber element 18 leaks, or contamination from inside fluids into thebearing 3 area or external of thecasing head 17, may be placed between thetubing mandrel 2 and an interior 4A of thebowl plate 4, between themandrel ledge 10 and themandrel bowl 1, between thetubing mandrel 2 and thetop plate 19, between themandrel bowl 1 and an interior 17B of thecasing head 17, between the interior 17B of thecasing head 17 and thebowl plate 4, and/or between the interior 17B of thecasing head 17 and thetop plate 19. From the above description it should be understood the present invention may allow the use of no seals or the use of any combination of seals between any combination of thetubing mandrel 2,bowl plate 4,top plate 19,rubber element 18,dognut 20,mandrel bowl 1, support ledges, and the casing head interior 17B. Likewise, referring to the embodiment of FIG. 5, it should be understood the present invention may allow the use of no seals or the use of any combination of seals between any combination of thetubing mandrel 32,bowl plate 34,top plate 48,rubber element 47,dognut 49,bottom plate 31, support ledges, and the casing head interior. - Further purpose of this invention is to allow one to attach a swivel or union to the top of the tubing mandrel. Referring to FIG. 3, the
swivel 12 may be attached to theupper end 2A of thetubing mandrel 2 or, as shown in FIG. 4, to allow for an integral part of theswivel 12 to be built as part of the tubing mandrel 2 (to reduce costs and also to reduce the clearance between the wellhead and pump tee). The swivel or union or the tubing mandrel may have edges placed on them to allow easier gripping of the tubing mandrel by a pipe wrench or a handle or automatic rotation device. In addition, one may place attachments to the rotator or swivel assembly to allow gearing or other means to rotate the tubing mandrel. - Referring now to FIG. 6, illustrating a second alternate embodiment of the present invention, a tubing
saver rotator assembly 300 includes amandrel bowl 110 having aledge support 110 A, saidmandrel bowl 110 positioned on alip 117 of aflanged connection 120. Saidflange connection 120 allows for connection to the wellhead with bolts (not shown) placed throughbolt holes 120A and sealing provided by a conventional ring seal (not shown) seated in a ring grove 120B. An alternate arrangement is to integrally combine themandrel bowl 110 and theflange connection 120. - A
tubing mandrel 130 is stabbed into themandrel bowl 110 and rests on the surface of theledge support 110A of themandrel bowl 110 or, as shown in FIG. 6, may be supported on abearing 140, which bearing 140 rests on theledge support 110A of themandrel bowl 110. Abowl plate 145 is attached to themandrel bowl 110 with bolt plate screws 115 selectively located around thebowl plate 145. Fluids are prevented from entering the bearing 140 area through a lowerinterior bowl seal 116, abowl plate seal 118, and amandrel plate seal 119. The lower end of thetubing mandrel 130 is attached to a tubing string (not shown) with alower connection 125, and the opposite end of thetubing mandrel 130 is attached to aswivel 143 with anupper connection 126. Saidswivel 143 attached to anupper end 132 of thetubing mandrel 130, and allows alower part 133 of theswivel 143 to rotate with thetubing mandrel 130. Anupper part 133A of theswivel 143 may be attached to a stationary pump tee (not shown). A union may be used in lieu of theswivel 143 as well as substitution of other types of mechanisms known in the art to allow rotation. Further, as known in the art, thetubing mandrel 130 may be attached directly to the pump tee. - A rubber or packing
element 147 is disposed on top of thebowl plate 145. Atop plate 148 is then disposed on top of the rubber or packingelement 147, saidtop plate 148 is compressed down to squeeze therubber element 147 between thetop plate 148 and thebowl plate 145 by acasing head dognut 149. Thecasing head dognut 149 may be removed to grease the bearing 140 area if desired or to replace thetop plate 148,rubber element 147,bowl plate 145, bowl plate screws 115,bowl plate seal 118, ormandrel plate seal 119. This arrangement allows most seals to be easily replaced by one person without removing thetubing mandrel 130 andmandrel bowl 110 which would normally require a rig in prior art designs. In the preferred embodiment, thread means 149A attaches thedognut 149 to theflange connection 120 as shown in FIG. 6, however other similar attaching means known in the art including flange means may be used. Theseals rubber element 147 will leak and therefore provides extra sealing protection for emissions or entry of outside fluids into the wellhead. - Other enhancements or modifications to the flanged tubing
saver rotator assembly 300 includes the addition of seals between any combination of thedognut 149, theflanged connection 120, thetop plate 148, thetubing mandrel 130, themandrel bowl 110, or thebowl plate 145. In addition, theflanged connection 120 andmandrel bowl 110 may be manufactured as one piece. In addition, the user may rely on theseals mandrel bowl 110, in place of thedognut 149,top plate 148, andrubber element 147. One further example of modification to the tubingsaver rotator assembly 300 as described above, is to have theflange connection 120 and themandrel bowl 110 manufactured as one piece, and usingseals seals - Although the description above contains many specificities, these should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention but as merely providing illustrations of a presently preferred embodiment of this invention.
- Thus the scope of the invention should be determined by the appended claims in the formal application and their legal equivalents, rather than by the examples given.
