Abstract

The power catwalk is the peripheral equipment used in oil drilling rigs to transport various pipe sections, including drill pipes, drill collars, and pipe sleeves. This equipment is responsible for moving pipe sections from the ground up to the drilling platform during drilling and workover operations, as well as lowering unloaded pipe sections from the platform back down to the ground. During the lifting (descending) process, the wire rope pull-type power catwalk may experience significant fluctuations in its pull force, which may result in unstable occurrences such as chattering and impact at certain positions. Using Lagrange equation, a 4-stage dynamic model was established for the power catwalk, taking into account boundary conditions. This model was used to analyze the movement pattern of the catwalk, determine the root cause of its instability, and apply the corresponding control strategy to improve the instability phenomenon, set the stage for further optimization and performance enhancement.
