Abstract

In one embodiment, a top drive system for drilling with casing is provided with an access tool to retrieve a downhole tool. The top drive system for drilling with casing comprises a top drive; a top drive adapter for gripping the casing, the top drive adapter operatively coupled to the top drive; and an access tool coupled to the top drive and adapted for accessing a fluid passage of the top drive system. In another embodiment, a method for retrieving a downhole tool through a tubular coupled to a top drive adapter of a top drive system is provided. The method comprises coupling an access tool to the top drive system, the access tool adapted to provide access to a fluid path in the top drive system and inserting a conveying member into the fluid path through the access tool.

Claims (36)

1. A top drive system for drilling with casing, comprising:
a top drive;
a top drive adapter for gripping the casing, the top drive adapter operatively connected to the top drive; and an access tool operatively connected to the top drive and adapted for accessing a fluid passage of the top drive system.
2. The system of claim 1, wherein a conveying member is inserted into the fluid passage of the top drive system.
3. The system of claim 1, wherein the conveying member comprises a wireline.
4. The system of claim 1, wherein the access tool comprises a sealing member adapted to prevent leakage of fluid from the access tool.
5. The system of claim 1, wherein the access tool comprises a sealing member for maintaining a pressure in the access tool.
6. The system of claim 1, further comprising a sheave assembly to facilitate movement of a conveying member.
7. The system of claim 1, wherein the access tool is disposed on an upper portion of the top drive.
8. The system of claim 1, wherein the access tool is disposed between the top drive and the top drive adapter.
9. The system of claim 1, wherein the access tool is disposed below the top drive adapter.
10. The system of claim 1, wherein the access tool comprises a central bore and a side entry bore in fluid communication with the central bore.
11. The system of claim 1, wherein the access tool comprises a manifold that separates a fluid flow in the access tool into at least two flow paths.
12. The system of claim 1, wherein the top drive adapter comprises a torque head or a spear.
13. The system of claim 1, wherein the access tool comprises a launching tool.
14. The system of claim 13, wherein the launching tool is adapted to release a ball.
15. The system of claim 13, further comprising a plug.
16. A method for retrieving a downhole tool through a tubular coupled to a top drive adapter of a top drive system, comprising:
coupling an access tool to the top drive system, the access tool adapted to provide access to a fluid path in the top drive system;

22. The method of claim 21, further comprising providing an access tool adapted to provide access to a fluid path in the top drive system.
23. The method of claim 22, wherein the actuating device is initially dropped into the access tool.
24. The method of claim 22, wherein the actuating device travels through the top drive adapter.
25. The method of claim 21, further comprising performing a cementing operation.
26. The method of claim 25, further comprising releasing a plug.
27. The method of claim 26, wherein the actuating device causes the plug to release.
28. The method of claim 27, wherein the plug is coupled to the top drive adapter.
29. The method of claim 27, wherein the plug is coupled to the casing.
30. The method of claim 21, further comprising blocking off fluid communication in a path of the top drive system.
31. The method of claim 30, wherein a flow of a drilling fluid is block off.
32. The method of claim 31, further comprising supplying a cementing fluid into the launching tool.
33. A method for performing a cementing operation using a top drive system, comprising:
providing the top drive system with a top drive, a top drive adapter, and a cementing tool;
operatively coupling the top drive, the top drive adapter, and the cementing tool;
gripping a casing using the top drive adapter; and supplying a cementing fluid through the cementing tool.
34. The method of claim 33, further comprising releasing an actuating device from the cementing tool.
35. The method of claim 33, wherein the cementing tool is disposed between the top drive and the top drive adapter.
