Hydraulic quick
release system
Wirth mud pumps premium line
products are equipped with
a fully integrated, patented
hydraulic quick release system.
This enables safe and easy
maintenance of fluid end parts, i.e.
fast-change tensioning system
for fluid ends, for liner retention,
changing valves and easy opening
of valve covers.
The hydraulic quick release system allows the maintenance
crew to carry out routine operational piston / liner changes
and fluid end maintenance with ease and a minimum of tools
in complete safety.
This system ensures the highest possible degree of safety
during maintenance procedures and therefore complies with
current HSE requirements.
This hydraulic system is a significant factor with regards
to our philosophy concerning safe, effective and easy
maintenance.
The unique hydraulic tensioning system employs a hydraulic
hand pump or a hydraulic power pack with connection hose
and snap connector. Once the correct pressure is applied to
relevant components, retaining nuts can be removed by hand.
This system ensures that an equal and correct, precalculated
torque, which cannot be exceeded, is applied to all bolting,
thus substantially increasing equipment lifespan when
compared to traditional mechanical maintenance routines.

Wirth active heave compensated The Wirth heave compensated drawworks control system is
designed with an anti-collision system as an integral part of
drawworks the control system to prevent the main hoisting equipment
(travelling block or top drive) from being run into the crown
block or drill floor, as operating conditions may be as follows:

n Hoisting/lowering and related operations are automated

The AC powered Wirth heave n The speed of the operation involved is too high for the

gear system and offer a design
unique to the industry, available in
a range from 4 500 hp to 13 000 hp.
The heave compensated drawworks embodies the same
basic principle as any other drawworks. A wire rope runs
from a deadline anchor over a crown block and a travelling
block to a rotating drum powered by several motors. The
heave compensated drawworks is used in normal drawworks
operation to raise and lower drill string, liner and casing
assemblies.

operating station
The Wirth heave compensated drawworks is equipped with
the required system condition monitoring system which is
available on the drilling console to facilitate detection of
abnormal conditions which may lead to critical malfunctions.
Alarms are triggered in the event of abnormal conditions
arising.
These alarms include:
n Anti-collision
n Slack-wire detection
n Failure in the hoisting system
n Fluid systems: temperature, flow and level
n UPS status and charge condition of batteries
n Primary power supply status

n Activation of emergency stop

The heave compensated drawworks is used in heave
compensation mode when connecting the BOP, drilling,
testing, etc, during fixed-to-bottom operations. Heave
compensation is realised by measuring the vessel
movements in the vertical plane and dynamically adjusting
the position of the traveling assembly accordingly.

The primary goals of the heave compensated drawworks

are improved safety, optimum performance and control, and
high reliability. The drawworks package is delivered complete
with all necessary hydraulics, lubrication systems, cooling
systems, instrumentation and controls and is fully operational
from a remote location.

The following are the essential functions of the Wirth

heave compensated drawworks:
n Normal operation to raise and lower the drill string, liner and

 casing assemblies
n Heave compensation function during fixed-to-bottom

 operations
n Hoisting and lowering functions when facilitating

Regenerative braking can preferably manage braking at
low speed or no speed conditions, and can stop the load at
predetermined positions.

Secondary active braking system:

The second braking system is an Eddy current brake, which
is a dynamic electromagnetic braking devicee. This brake is
a high energy absorption device thus maintaining appropriate
braking torque at higher drawworks speeds. Under low-
speed or nospeed conditions the eddy current brake can only
produce low or no braking torque. Under these conditions
the regenerative brake takes on most of the load. The eddy
current braking energy is dis- sipated by water cooling.

Emergency and parking brake system:

The disc brake represents the third braking system and is
used for emergency braking and parking only. The disc brake
and the associated callipers are kept open by a hydraulic
system thereby providing a fail-safe mechanism. In case of an
emergency such as loss of power, hydraulic failure or system
failures of the drives, all callipers will be applied.

Under normal operation conditions the callipers are only

applied for parking, holding the load in a static condition and
thus preventing its uninten- tional lowering or raising.

the primary braking system. The second braking system
operates in combination with the primary braking systems.

The drawworks main drive motors, supplied by Aker
Solutions, not only have a driving function but are also
used for regenerative braking. For braking, the drawworks
motors will operate in generator mode and feed-back the
braking energy into a resistor bank or to the mains until the
load is stopped. Re generative braking can stop the load at
predetermined positions.

drive and delivered 4 500 hp. The drilling depth of 9 101 m was
limited by extremely high rock temperatures.

KCA Deutag’s T 208 rig is designed to meet Europe’s demanding

environmental standards. The T 208 has a 1 500 hp rating for
drilling depth up to 5 000 m. The rig’s modular design makes
moving locations easy because of its box-on-box substructure.
In 2006 Aker Solutions delivered oilfield drilling equipment such
as Wirth belt-driven 1 600 hp mud pumps, and Wirth gear-driven
drawworks 1 500 hp (ATEX certified).

The two new SAIPEM 3000 hp land rigs 5946 and 5947 operate in
Kazakhstan since 2010 and are designed for harsh environmental
conditions.

Aker Solutions was selected as partner for highly efficient drilling

equipment consisting of three chain-driven HP mud pumps
(Wirth TPK 2200), one two gear-driven drawworks
(Wirth GH 3300 EG-AC-2G) and one electric-driven rotary
table (Wirth RTSS 37 ½”) for each rig.

Aker Solutions recently supplied drilling equipment for seven

3000 hp onshore rigs operated by a Middle East drilling contractor.
The rigs are installed on artificial islands on the upper ZAKUM field
in the Persian Gulf. The scope of supply comprises twenty-one
belt driven mud pumps Wirth TPK 2200 AC-RB, seven two-gear
drawworks Wirth GH 3300 EG-AC-2G, seven rotary tables Wirth
RTSS 49 ½” E w/o gear, seven top drives MH DDM 1000 AC-2M
and seven travelling blocks 750.

Aker Solutions delivered complete drilling equipment packages

for seven deepwater drillships for the Brazilian market. The drilling
units will be delivered between 2015 and 2019. The new vessels
are capable of operating at 10 000 feet water depth and drilling
depths of 40 000 ft. They will be operated by the Norwegian
drilling operators Seadrill and Odfjell Drilling (three each) and one
from Sete Brazil. We supplied four gear driven mud pumps Wirth
TPK 2200 AC-TG-WJ, one multi gear drawworks Wirth GH 6000
EG-AC and one rotary table Wirth RTSS 60 ½” H.

The “Developer”, one of the three new built ultra deep water semi
submersible rigs from MAERSK is designed for the search of
new finds in deep waters and areas with complex soil conditions,
capable to operate in water depths up to 3 000 m (10 000 ft.)
and to drill 10 000 m (30 000 ft.) into the subsoil, measured from
the seabed. Pushing the high advanced technology of this semi
submersible Aker Solutions delivered a multi gear, gear-driven
drawworks type Wirth GH 6000 as main unit together with an
auxiliary drawworks Wirth GH 4500 and four gear driven HP mud
pumps Wirth TPK 2200 with top mounted single AC motor.
