Abstract:
A high trip rate drilling rig has first handling equipment to transport stands in/out of setback, second handling equipment to deliver stands to/from well center, and a hand-off position to set down stands for exchange between first/second equipment. Second equipment can include a top drive and a delivery arm translatable along the mast past each other, and a clasp on the arm slidable on the stand for constraint below the upper end, which can allow the top drive to engage/disengage the constrained stand above the arm. A high trip rate method transports stands in/out of setback, delivers stands to/from well center, and sets down and hands off stands at hand-off position between the setback transportation and well center delivery. The delivery can include engaging/dis-engaging the top drive and a stand constrained by the clasp.

Claim (Index 125):
The method of  claim 124 , further comprising:\n (10) engaging the top drive assembly and the upper portion of the one tubular stand while engaging the one tubular stand connected to the drill string in the rotary table; (11) disengaging the rotary table and translating the top drive assembly along the mast to hoist the one tubular stand and connected drill string above the rotary table; (12) engaging the drill string in the rotary table below the lower portion of the one tubular stand; (13) while clasping the upper portion of the one tubular stand with the clasp of the tubular delivery arm below the top drive assembly, disengaging the top drive assembly from the one tubular stand; (14) translating the tubular delivery arm along the mast to raise the clasp at the upper portion of the one tubular stand in the well center position for the engagement in (1); (15) retracting and translating the top drive assembly along the mast past the tubular delivery arm; and (16) repeating (10) to (15) for the next one tubular stand.
