Abstract

A float shoe/collar apparatus (14) and method is disclosed for multipurpose use in running a tubular string (11) such as a casing string or liner into a wellbore and for optimizing cementing operations. In one presently preferred embodiment, the present invention permits auto filling of the tubular string (11) as the string (11) is lowered into the wellbore. If desired, circulation can be effected through down jets (30) for washing the wellbore as necessary. After the tubular string (11) is positioned, the down jets (3) can be blocked off and up jets (33) opened to thereby direct cement upwardly to optimize cement placement. Check valves (31) can also be activated in accord with the present invention to prevent flow from the wellbore into the tubular string (11). In one embodiment, the invention comprises an inner member (27) and an outer tubular member (25). The inner member (27) is movable upon release of shear pins (28) to cause longitudinal movement relative to the outer member (25). The movement of the inner member (27) may close a plurality of downward jets (30) and may also open a plurality of upward jets (33) if desired. The apparatus (14) may also be equipped with a set of check valves (31) which can be held open on run in, and subsequently activated to thereby automatically close upon cementing to prevent "u-tubing" of fluids back into the casing (11).
