Integrated managed pressure drilling riser joint
An apparatus comprises a telescoping marine riser action and one of a rotating control device and an annular blow out preventer. The telescoping marine riser section comprises an inner barrel and an outer barrel. The one of a rotating control device and an annular blow out preventer is disposed inside the outer barrel.
1. A method comprising:
Providing an annular blowout preventer retainably coupled in an outer barrel of a telescoping marine riser;
Coupling the outer barrel to a buoyancy component;
Coupling a lower end of an inner barrel of the telescoping marine riser to the outer barrel;
Coupling an upper end of the inner barrel of the telescoping marine riser to a flex joint; and
Uncoupling the inner barrel from the outer barrel to thereby remove the inner barrel from the telescoping mariner riser.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising retainably coupling a rotating control device in the outer barrel.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising coupling a rotating control device to the annular blowout preventer.
4. The method of claim 1 , engaging a lower surface of the annular blowout preventer to a landing device coupled to the outer barrel.
5. The method of claim 1 , actuating a locking device to couple the annular blowout preventer to the outer barrel.
6. The method of claim 2 , actuating a locking device to couple the rotating control device to the outer barrel.
7. A method comprising:
Providing a drilling component in a marine riser, the drilling component comprising:
An inner barrel; and
An outer barrel, a lower end of the inner barrel coupled telescopically to the outer barrel, the outer barrel having at least one of a rotating control device and an annular blow out preventer coupled therein;
Uncoupling the inner barrel from the outer barrel to thereby remove the inner barrel from the drilling component;
Retrieving one or more components of at least one of the rotating control device and the annular blow out preventer through the outer barrel.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the servicing or retrieving comprises running a service tool through the outer barrel.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein an upper end of the inner barrel is coupled to a flex joint.
10. The method of claim 7 , further comprising inserting the at least one of the rotating control device and the annular blow out preventer through the outer barrel.
11. The method of claim 7 , the drilling component further comprising a buoyancy component, wherein the retrieving the at least one of the rotating control device and the annular blow out preventer through the outer barrel is performed without disassembly of a riser system below the buoyancy component.
