Wellhead tools are essential equipment used on the drill floor for wellhead operations. These tools include elevator links, elevators, slips, safety slips, manual tongs, and roller Kelly bushings. Mastering their use is crucial, as oilfield workers interact with them daily during drilling and well servicing operations.
Structure and Working Principle
The elevator link is a specialized wellhead tool used to support and suspend elevators during drilling and well-servicing operations. It must have a high load-bearing capacity, be impact-resistant, lightweight, and ensure operational safety. The upper ear of the elevator link attaches to the hook’s side latches, while the lower part connects to the ears of the elevator. The connections between the elevator link, elevator, and hook comply with SY5288-2000 standards.
Types of Elevator Links Elevator links are available in two types: single-arm and double-arm.
- Double-arm elevator links – Commonly used for shallow wells with a load capacity of up to 1350 kN. The most frequently used models in drilling equipment are DH1350 and SH1350.
- Single-arm elevator links – These are forged from ultra-high-strength steel for maximum durability.
- Double-arm elevator links – Manufactured using high-quality alloy steel through forging and welding processes.
Both types undergo precision heat treatment and surface finishing to achieve superior toughness and strength.
