HOISTING SYSTEM

PREPARED BY: MUHAMMAD FARID AFIQ B ZOLKIFLI

Hoisting System
The function of the hoisting system is to get the necessary equipment in and
out of the hole as rapidly as is economically possible. The major components
of the hoisting system are:
(1)derrick,
(2)crown block & travelling block
(3)drilling line
(4)drawworks
(5)dead anchorline

Derrick
1) The function of the derrick is to provide the vertical height required to
raise sections of pipe from or lower them into the hole.
2) Derricks are rated according to their height and their ability to withstand
compressive and wind loads.
3) The greater the height of the derrick, the longer the section of pipe that
can be handled.

Crown block
1. The crown block is a stationary pulley located at the top of the derrick.
2. Contains number of sheaves at which the drilling line is wound around the
crown block.
3. The crown block is stationary and firmly fastened at the top of the derrick.
4. Provide a means of taking the drilling line from hoisting drum to the
travelling block

Crown block spec:

Travelling Block
1. Contained number of sheaves less than number of sheaves in crown block.
2. The drilling line is wound in the sheaves of the travelling block.
3. The end of drilling line is wound on the hoisting drum and the other end
attached to the deadline anchor.

Drilling line
1. Drillling line is reeved round the crown block and travelling block sheaves
with the end line going to an anchoring clamp called Dead Line Anchor
2. The static line is called the deadline
3. The line section connecting the drum with the crown block is called
fastline
4. During hoisting operations, if there are 10 lines between the crown and
the travelling block, the fastline travels 10 times faster than the travelling
block.
5. The cut and slip is done in order to replace the drilling as it exceed the
preset tonne miles.

The Hook
1.

The hook is located beneath the traveling block. This device is used to pick up
and secure the swivel and kelly.

2. The hook is designed in such away that it will allow the string to rotate while at
the same time holding the travelling block steady so as not spin all the line as the
block is moving. But it can be lock into a given position for the drilling mode.
3. The second major function is to relieve some of the shock when a load is picked
up.
4. By allowing the hook to open under control whilst picking up the driller can creep
into the load, thus saving a lot of ware and tear on the drilling line and the sheave
bearings.

Top Drive

Link
1. Lifting tools include the bails ( Links) and the elevators.
2. These are often classed as drilling tools but they are part of the hoisting system and must be treated
with the same respect as you would other more obvious parts.
3. The links fit onto the lugs of the hook and elevators. Once in position the flaps are closer and locked
using a bolt.

Elevator
The final components that go to make are the hoisting assembly are
the lifting elevators.

Specification
Model: 760TB750
Load Capacity: 1,500,000 lb (680,389 kg)
Lift Eye Capacity: 300,000 lb (136,078 kg)
Number of Sheaves: 7
Sheave Diameter: 60 (1524 mm)
Shaft Diameter: 12 (305 mm)

Drawworks
The drawworks is a mechanical system with many functions:
1. To lift drill string, casing, or tubing string, or to pull in excess of these string loads
to free stuck pipe.
2.

Provide the braking systems on the hoist drum for lowering drill string, casing

string, or tubing string into the borehole.

3.

Transmit power from the prime movers to the rotary drive sprocket to drive the

rotary table
4.

Transmit power to the catheads for breaking out and making up drill string,

casing and tubing string.

The input power to the drawworks is calculated by taking into account the efficiency of the chain drives and
shafts inside the drawworks. The efficiency factor E is given by the following equation:

Where K is sheave and line efficiency per sheave; K = 0.9615 is in common use.

Crown o Matic
1. Crown-O-Matic's and crown savers are designed to provide crown and floor protection by
ensuring that the rig's braking system can stop the block before the draw work's brake is
overrun.
2. Derrick designs generally incorporate extra space at the crown area to allow for safer
operation of the travelling block in an area that is hard for the driller to see, and also to allow
for potential travelling block overrun of the upper mechanical stop caused by high block
ascending speeds near the crown.
3. By installing and setting up the crown-o-matic properly, safe operation of the travelling block is
maintained to the maximum upper block travel limit.

Dead Line Anchor

Anchor Point:
This is a fixed position in one corner of the rig floor and would normally be on the other side of the rig
floor from the draw-works.
This is done to help distribute the load being moved.
