Abstract

A system including a hydrocarbon extraction system (10), including a well boring apparatus (12) configured to drill through a subterranean formation without rotating a drill string, and a seabed support system (14) configured to support drilling operations of the well boring apparatus.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A system, comprising:
 a hydrocarbon extraction system, comprising:
 a well boring apparatus configured to drill through a subterranean formation without rotation of a drill string; and 
 a seabed support system configured to support drilling operations of the well boring apparatus. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the well boring apparatus comprises one or more interchangeable modules that facilitate drilling a well. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the seabed support system comprises one or more modular systems. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the seabed support system comprises one or more drones or robots. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the one or more modular systems comprises a coiled tubing system configured to couple to the well boring apparatus. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the one or more modular systems comprises a blowout preventer. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the one or more modular systems comprises a power generation system. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the one or more modular systems comprises a separator system. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the one or more modular systems comprises a material storage system. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the one or more modular systems comprises a control system configured to control the one or more modular systems. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the one or more modular systems comprises a drone garage. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the one or more modular systems are supported on one or more subsea platforms. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the subsea support system comprises a plurality of platforms mechanically coupled together. 
     
     
         14 . A system, comprising:
 a hydrocarbon extraction system, comprising:
 a seabed support system, comprising:
 one or more modular systems configured to support drilling operations of a well boring apparatus. 
 
   
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the seabed support system comprises one or more platforms configured to support the one or more modular systems. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the seabed support system comprises a plurality of platforms configured to support the one or more module systems. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein the plurality of platforms are mechanically coupled together. 
     
     
         18 . A system, comprising:
 a hydrocarbon extraction system, comprising:
 a well boring apparatus configured to drill through a subterranean formation without rotation of a drill string; and 
 a seabed support system, comprising:
 one or more modular systems configured to support drilling operations of the well boring apparatus; and 
 one or more platforms configured to support the one or more modular systems. 
 
   
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 18 , wherein the one or more modular systems comprise at least one of a coiled tubing system, a blowout preventer, a power generation system, a water treatment system, a separator system, a drone/robot garage, a material storage system, a pump system, a mixing system, a control system, or a communication system. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 19 , wherein the well boring apparatus comprises one or more interchangeable modules that facilitate drilling a well.
