Abstract

A method for accelerated break out of connected multi-segment tubulars by setting hydraulic fluid pressure to between 100 and 3000 psi, connecting the stationary wrench to a first segment of a multi-segment tubular, connecting a pivoting wrench to a second segment of the multi-segment tubular, and activating a pivoting hydraulic cylinder with a lever to break out the first segment from the second segment and wherein the pivoting wrench is configured to operate right side up and upside down for optimizing pivoting wrench flat fit.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for accelerated break out of connected multi-segment tubulars, the method comprising:
 a. using an accelerated rod and sinker bar break out device with a support beam mounted in parallel to an installed pivoting hydraulic cylinder to prevent collapse of a base of the accelerated rod and sinker bar break out device;   b. setting hydraulic fluid pressure in the accelerated rod and sinker bar break out device to between 100 and 3000 psi;   c. connecting a stationary wrench of the accelerated rod and sinker bar break out device to a first segment of a connected multi-segment tubular;   d. connecting a pivoting wrench of the accelerated rod and sinker bar break out device to a second segment of the connected multi-segment tubular;   e. activating a pivoting hydraulic cylinder of the accelerated rod and sinker bar break out device using a lever to break out the first segment from the second segment, and wherein the pivoting wrench is configured to operate right side up and upside down for optimizing pivoting wrench flat fit; and wherein the stationary wrench extends at an angle of 90 degrees to a plane of the base.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising using an angled wrench head and a pivoting wrench anti as the pivoting wrench. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising using an active radio frequency identification chip for tracking a GPS location of each accelerated rod and sinker bar break out device when deployed, and wherein the radio frequency identification chip communicates via a network to at least one client device having a client device display and a client device processor communicating with computer instructions in a client device data storage instructing the client device processor to position the GPS location of the accelerated rod and sinker bar break out device geographically on a map. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , comprising using a microprocessor connected to at least one pressure sensor for automatically monitoring and comparing detected pressures to preset limits stored in a microprocessor data storage, and computer instructions for instructing the microprocessor to provide an alarm to the client device processor via the network when the pressure falls below or exceeds the preset limits. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising using a hydraulic pressure from 100 psi to 3000 psi in a manifold mounted to the accelerated rod and sinker bar break out device. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising using a pivoting wrench and a stationary wrench each having a thickness from ½ of an inch to 1 inch. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising using a pivoting wrench and the stationary wrench made from a hardened high tensile strength solid steel hardened to a Rockwell 55 hardness, wherein each wrench is a pipe wrench. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising using a pivoting wrench and a stationary wrench, each having a length from 18 inches to 48 inches. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising using a pivoting wrench with a head having a length different than the head of the stationary wrench. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising using a pivoting wrench with an arm having a length different than an arm of the stationary wrench. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising using a stationary wrench with a hook shape to hold the accelerated rod and sinker bar break out device stable as the pivoting wrench head is attached to the wrench flats of the connected multi-segment tubulars. 
     
     
         12 . A method for accelerated break out of connected multi-segment tubulars, the method comprising:
 a. receiving hydraulic fluid from a reservoir through an input port fluidly to a pivoting hydraulic cylinder;   b. transferring the hydraulic fluid to the reservoir an output port from the pivoting hydraulic cylinder;   c. bidirectionally flowing the hydraulic fluid to and from the first pivoting hydraulic cylinder port through a first bidirectional control port to and from the pivoting hydraulic cylinder;   d. bidirectionally flowing the hydraulic fluid to and from the second pivoting hydraulic cylinder port through a second bidirectional control port to and from the pivoting hydraulic cylinder;   e. using a lever engaging a manifold to change hydraulic fluid flow rates to and from the pivoting hydraulic cylinder;   f. adjusting a primary pressure control valve to adjust hydraulic fluid pressure to and from the pivoting hydraulic cylinder, and   g. affixing the first pivoting wrench to a first segment of a connected multi-segment tubular, and a stationary wrench to a second segment of a connected multi-segment tubular; and   h. operating the hydraulic fluid to move the pivoting hydraulic cylinder to break out the first segment of a connected multi-segment tubular from the second segment of a connected multi-segment tubular.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , comprising the step of using a flexible hanger and leveling device for stabilizing the equipment of the method as the method is implemented using a pair of slotted plates mounted in parallel on a top side of a housing holding components of utilized in the method and; a leveling screw installed through slots of the pair of slotted plates; and a shackle moveably mounted around the leveling screw. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising using a wrench stop to control pivoting of the wrenches to within a preset limit. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising using a latching head connected to a cylinder rod of the pivoting hydraulic cylinder and using the pivoting wrench enabling adjustment of the pivoting wrench to adjust a location of the second segment of a connected multi-segment tubular segment.
