BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates, in general, to apparatus and methods usable for abandoning without a probe and the formation of a geological testing space that can be used to relocate the use of, for example, drilling platforms, to carry out abandonment and test or prove a new technology for other uses, including the use of proven technology with said drilling rigs to promote the development of underground deposits in existing fields and new fields. Various new technologies, which can be usable, testable and demonstrable during abandonment without a probe, include the new technologies discussed in previous patent applications by the present inventor, for example: UK patent 2465478, entitled "Apparatus and Methods for Operating a Plurality of Wells through a Single Bore "; UK patent application number GB 1011290.2 and PCT patent application GB2010 / 051108, both entitled "Apparatus And Methods For A Sealing Subterranean Borehole And Performing Other Cable Download Rotary Operations" and both filed on July 5, 2010; United Kingdom patent application with patent application number GB 1021787.5, entitled "Managed Pressure Conduit Assembly Systems and Methods for Using a Passageway through Subterranean Strata", filed on December 23, 2010; UK patent application number GB 1015428.4, entitled "Shock Absorbing Conduit Orientation Sensor Housing System," filed on September 16, 2010; Patent Cooperation Treaty Patent Application number US2011 / 000377, entitled "Manifold String For Selectively Controlling Flowing Fluid Streams of Varying Velocities In Wells From A Single Main Bore", filed on March 1, 2011 and UK patent application GB1104278.5, with the same title, deposited on March 15, 2011; PCT patent application number US2011 / 000372, entitled "Pressure Controlled Well Construction and Operation Systems and Methods Usable for Hydrocarbon Operations, Storage and Solution Mining", filed on March 1, 2011 and UK patent application number GB 1104278.5 , with the same title, presented on March 15, 2011; United Kingdom patent application number GB 1116098.3, entitled "Rig-less Abandonment Testing", filed on September 19, 2011; United Kingdom patent application number GB1121741.1, entitled "Rotary Stick, Slip And Vibration Reduction Drilling Stabilizers With Hydrodynamic Fluid Bearings And Homogenizers", filed on December 16, 2011 and United Kingdom patent application number GB1121743.7, entitled "Cable Compatible Fluid Hydrodynamic And Homogenizing Bearing Rotary Steerable System For Drilling And Milling", filed on December 16, 2011, each of which is incorporated in its entirety, by reference, in this patent application.

The present invention claims priority to patent application number GB1111482.4, which can be used to, for example, provide a space of four (4) dimensions, including the extra dimension of geological time. Before this invention and related to the creation and use of a space of four (4) dimensions, previous works by the present inventor discussed the creation and use of spaces of two and three dimensions, for example, the patent application GB 1011290,2, describes methods and systems usable to provide a usable three (3) space within a well and GB patent application number 1116098.3 discloses a useful method for, for example, testing the sealing of three and / or four dimensions spaces, which are sealed by cement or a configurable material.

Although several aspects of these earlier works, including patent applications GB 1011290.2 and GB1111482.4, describe an apparatus and methods for hydraulically driven pistons, the present invention describes the use of a well piston apparatus, which comprises an opening of a well without a probe that can be activated by hydraulic cylinders, explosions, cable, or their combinations, to form a geological test space. In addition, the embodiments of the present patent application include apparatus and methods for using the geological testing space to test one or more unproven intra-bore apparatus, for operation within a proximal geology of similar age to that of a senescent well, another well senescent (79), a new well (80), or a field of wells (79, 80), generally called Brownfields (79) and Greenfields (80).

In addition, the embodiments of the present patent application, which claims priority for GB 1121741.1, provide an apparatus and methods for forming a hydrodynamic bearing motor, usable for, for example, driving a milling surface by means of an arm of a milling device, or form the shock and vibration reduction part of fluid and / or electric motors, which can be used by the present invention, during the formation of an underground space.

Despite having significant merit, several new technologies revealed in previous patent applications from other inventors can be difficult to implement, due to the risk tolerance of operators and the oligopolistic practices of the large service providers that dominate the industry that, understandably, prefers use technology with the greatest immediate return, thus making the development of new technologies difficult.

Ultimately, before being accepted, the new technology must use field tests and further development, with several adjustments to the original invention, to provide a robust solution. However, few professionals are willing to risk the consequences of such tests of new technologies, particularly given the explosive nature of hydrocarbons and historic catastrophic events in the oil and gas industry.

Well operators face a series of challenges at each stage of the well's life cycle, as they seek to balance the need to maximize economic recovery and reduce the net present value of abandoning a liability to meet its obligations related to operations and safe and environmentally prudent abandonment. When wells lose structural integrity, which can be defined as the apparent or probable presence of future loss of pressure or fluid carrying capacity and / or general operability, all or portions of a well can be closed for maintenance or suspension, until definitive abandonment, or it may require immediate buffering and abandonment, potentially leaving reserves within strata that would not justify the cost of the intervention or a new well.

Some of the most frequently reported structural integrity problems include the lack of centralization of production tubes that leads to erosion of the ducts due to the movement caused by thermal cycles; corrosion in the well's canalization system, for example, from biological organisms or H2S which forms leaks in the pipelines or destroys them and the equipment; and / or failures in the valves associated with subsurface safety valves, gas lift valves, annular valves and other equipment. Other common problems include unexplained pressure in the annular space, connector failures, deposits, wear of casings from drilling operations, the growth or shrinkage of the wellhead and malfunction or leakage of the Christmas tree or valve tree on the surface or underwater . Such issues include areas where operators are able to, or choose to test, and there are others (such as the inside of a tube) that they cannot, or choose not to test, that can pose a serious risk to economic viability and environment. Problems in various parts of a well, in particular the annular spaces, may not be accessible in a conventional manner without significant intervention or breaking down barriers in the well, for example, with a drilling rig. Thus, these significant operations are expensive and offer considerable security risk for operators, which are unsuitable for less conventional platform operations.

The main advantage of using specific drilling rigs for the intervention in the well, is the removal of ducts and access to the annular spaces during the intervention and abandonment of the well, in which the ability to access and determine the condition of the coatings' of the spaces annular and the primary cement behind the production pipeline or pipe, can be used to make important decisions regarding future production and / or abandonment. If the well linings are corroded or lack an outer cement sheath, corrective measures, for example, milling of the liner, can be taken by a drilling rig to provide a permanent barrier. On the other hand, the problem can be exacerbated by conventional abandonment without a well probe when blind decisions are made without access to the cement register of the annular spaces and attempts to place cement fail and thus pose yet another barrier over problems of potentially serious and deteriorating well integrity that can represent, both technically and economically, a significant future challenge, even for a drilling rig.

Various embodiments of the methods of the present invention can be useful to develop benchmarking, test and improve new technologies related to, for example, collection of empirical information that conventional operations without probes cannot do, by providing access and / or space for both measuring devices and sealing materials. Once such information is collected, yet other embodiments of the method can be useful for benchmarking, developing, testing and improving barriers placed without a probe and milling or crushing ducts and / or housings to expose and bridge the impermeable hard layers, or cover rock formations, for the placement of permanent barriers, without cementing equipment, to guarantee structural integrity.

In general, age is believed to be the main cause of well structural integrity problems. The combination of erosion, corrosion and general fatigue failures associated with prolonged time in the field, particularly within wells that have already exceeded their designed lives, along with poor design, poorly installed and failures to implement integrity assurance standards associated with the inventory of senescent wells, are generally responsible for increasing the frequency of problems over time. These problems can be exacerbated, for example, by increasing the levels of water cut, stimulation of production and elevation by gas later in field life.

However, the prevailing conventional consensus is that, although age is undoubtedly an important issue, if properly managed, it should not be a cause of structural integrity problems that can cause premature production interruption. In addition, completely depleting production areas by increasing production, before abandonment, provides an environment of underground pressure depletion that may be more suitable for the placement of permanent barriers given the decrease in the propensity of lighter fluids such as penetrating gas, for example, in cement during laying.

The embodiments of the present invention provide lower cost methods, which do not require probes, usable for benchmarking, developing, testing and improving access to annular spaces and for placing pressure containment ducts and barrier elements in the well at underground depths required, in the annular spaces, when intervening, maintaining and / or abandoning portions of a well, to isolate portions affected by erosion and corrosion. This, in turn, extends the life of the well until the reservoir is completely depleted and, further, reduces the risk associated with placing the barrier element in the well and the liability for pollution by an improperly abandoned well.

The level of operations required for the maintenance, intervention and restoration of wells is restricted by the substantial conventional costs required for this work. The limited levels of production of senescent goods often do not justify the conventional practice of using higher-cost drilling platforms, and conventional probeless technology is generally unable to access the various galleries or all the annular spaces within the well.

Therefore, well operators generally place an emphasis on eliminating problematic assets from their portfolio and seek to prevent future problems with better designs, rather than trying to remedy a poorly designed well, which in turn hastens a greater focus on asset disposal, well design, installation and / or integrity guarantee. Passing the problem on to others, by selling a well, however, does not mean resolving the issue of abandoning existing and senescent wells from the point of view of responsibility.

When intervention is required, major risk-averse oil and gas companies generally prefer operations such as asset sale and replacement, rather than remediation and favor the sale of senescent well assets to smaller companies, at lower costs and greater tolerance at risk. Smaller companies, which require a smaller profit margin to cover the marginal cost, are generally anxious to acquire such marginal assets, but in the future, they may be unable to afford the costs of abandoning the well and thus transferring the responsibility back to the original owner and prevent the sale or create false savings for the seller. Probe-free placement of reliable, low-cost well barrier elements to delay or carry out abandonment is critical for large and small businesses if senescent assets are to be bought and sold and / or to avoid such false savings. Thus, the probeless methods and components of the present invention, usable for placing and checking well barrier elements for reliable abandonment, are important for all companies that operate, sell and / or buy senescent wells.

Therefore, the structural integrity of wells in production and abandonment is fundamental, since the responsibility for abandoning the well cannot be transmitted if a well ultimately leaks pollutants to the surface, groundwater or maritime environments, as most governments retain all previous owners of an asset as responsible for its abandonment and the environmental impacts associated with subsequent pollution. Therefore, the sale of a well's liability does not necessarily mean eliminating the risk when the asset is sold or abandoned, unless the final abandonment guarantees permanent structural integrity.

Embodiments of the method of the present invention are usable for benchmarking, development, testing and improvement of intervention and maintenance without probe in wells, to extend the life of a well, by placing barrier elements in the well in order to isolate or abandon a part of the well; and then operate another part of the well until no economic production is possible or the integrity of the well prevents further extraction and storage operations. Thereafter, the well can be completely and permanently abandoned for an indefinite period of time, using the embodiments of the present invention to, without a probe and selectively, access the annular spaces for both the placement and verification of well barriers, including those barriers that provide a space for geological tests for said benchmarking, development, testing and improvement of new technologies.

Therefore, there is a need to improve the stability of drilling sets and directional drilling for articulated and rotating flexitube column operations.

There is a need for devices and methods usable for benchmarking, development, testing and improvement of new technologies that can be used to delay abandonment, with low-cost probe-free operations to place barrier elements in a well to increase return on capital invested for both substantially hydrocarbon and substantially water wells, by means of a probe-free diversion to improve marginal production, suspend and / or abandon parts of a well, to restore or prolong the well's structural integrity for production and storage of senescent well assets and preventing pollution of underground horizons, such as groundwater, or surface and ocean environments.

There is a need for devices and methods usable for benchmarking, development, testing and improvement of new technologies that can be used in operations of placement of barrier elements without a probe in small operational wells, which are usable for the control of costs and / or performing operations in a limited space, for example, operations on power lines or wire, on platforms, usually unmanned, from boats above underwater wells or in an environmentally sensitive area, for example, permafrost areas, where the hostile environment and environmental impact are a cause for concern. There is also a related need for devices and methods usable for benchmarking, development, testing and improvement of new technologies usable for working, inside a closed enclosure with controlled pressure, to avoid exposing both operating personnel and the environment to the risk of loss of underground pressure control if a well intervention column by heavy damping fluid is lost in, for example, underground fractures.

There is a need for devices and methods usable for benchmarking, development, testing and improvement of new usable technologies to avoid the high cost of drilling rigs by a system without a probe capable of suspending, diverting and / or abandoning onshore and offshore wells from surface wells and submarines, substantially hydrocarbons and substantially water, using conventional best practices published for the placement of industrially acceptable and permanent barrier elements for well abandonment.

There is a need for devices and methods usable for benchmarking, development, testing and improvement of new technologies that can be used to prevent risks and remove the cost of protecting personnel and the environment from well equipment contaminated with radioactive materials and precipitated by placement without abandonment barriers and drop the intra-hole equipment. There is also a need for devices and methods usable for benchmarking, development, testing and improvement of new technologies usable to divert or fracture, without a probe, portions of a well for the elimination of hazardous materials that may result from the circulation of the well's fluid column. during suspension, lateral deviation and abandonment operations.

There is a need for devices and methods usable for benchmarking, development, testing and improvement of new technologies that can be used to probe annular spaces to measure whether acceptable seal cementation exists behind the coating, and, without a probe, to mill the coating and add cement if there is no acceptable cementation. There is still a need for devices and methods usable for benchmarking, development, testing and improvement of new technologies usable in verifying the positioning of the well barrier elements, during operation without a probe, to guarantee the successful adhesion of the configurable material and the seal the galleries of a well occurred or whether continuity of repair work is necessary.

There is a need for devices and methods usable for benchmarking, development, testing and improvement of new technologies that can be used to, without a probe, access annular spaces currently inaccessible, mainly with operations without probe of minimum footprint of conventional wire, including bypass. annular space blocks, created, for example, by production shutters, during the placement of permanent well barrier elements within selected parts of the well, in front of the cover rock and other impermeable formations necessary to isolate underground pressures over geological time .

There is a need for devices and methods usable for benchmarking, development, testing and improvement of new technologies that can be used in a plurality of permanent well barriers that are verifiable via galleries of annular spaces selectively accessed with operations without a probe, usable with conventional tools of registration to maintain the structural integrity of the well before final abandonment and also to provide access for the placement of permanent barriers to guarantee the structural integrity of the drilling of the strata and thereafter.

There is a need for devices and methods usable for benchmarking, development, testing and improvement of new technologies that can be used to improve marginal production that can be used to offset operating costs until the final abandonment occurs, including without a probe that provides the integrity of the wells, while waiting until an abandonment campaign that permeates a plurality of wells can be used to further reduce costs.

There is a need for devices and methods usable for benchmarking, development, testing and improvement of new technologies that can be used to reduce abandonment liabilities for operators, without neglecting their obligations for the structural integrity of the well for safe and environmentally sensitive operations in well, for suspension and abandonment, in an economical way, that is consistent with the supply of more capital for the exploration of new reserves in order to meet the growing demand of our world for hydrocarbons, by minimizing the cost of operation, suspension and abandonment through the lower cost of technologies without suspension, diversion and abandonment probe.

There is a need for devices and methods that can be used for benchmarking, development, testing and improvement of new technologies that can be used in the soneless verification of well abandonments to make possible a market in which the reduction of well abandonment liabilities allows companies with higher operating costs sell marginal well assets to smaller companies, with lower operating costs, that is, by decreasing the risk of a residual abandonment liability, to prevent marginal recoverable reserves from being left within the strata, due to costs higher general operating costs have made such recoverable reserves economically unviable.

Finally, there is a need for systems and methods that can be used with existing and new technologies to provide sufficiently inexpensive methods, which require less or low-cost resources, for the formation of a geological testing space to test new or unproven intra-hole devices .

Although the embodiments of the present invention can be considered to create a new market from an existing market, this generalization may be evident in several previous significant inventions, for example, the invention of the steam engine, which resulted in the formation of a new market, which has historically been summarized as the industrial revolution; the invention of a recording device during drilling, which formed a directional drilling market; and the invention of the positive displacement mud engine, which formed the horizontal drilling market, in which conventional and prior art equipment from existing markets, at the time of each of these inventions, could not satisfy such demanded needs. Thus, the present invention may result in the formation of an unproven intra-puncture device testing market, simply because such a market for intra-puncture device testing does not currently exist.

Therefore, the present invention not only provides an important solution to the need for intra-puncture device testing and proving, but provides a new market in intra-puncture testing which is necessary because conventionally operating an intra-puncture device is in practice more art than science. Science can literally be considered "blind as a bat," because, for example, it relies entirely on surface indications and signals transmitted underground and reflected from intra-hole tools, which are located within a dangerous geological environment that is subject to forces , substances, pressures and extreme temperatures, kilometers below the earth's surface. Thus, professionals generally rely more on empirically proven operations than on scientific theories of the operation.

The substances, pressures and temperatures associated with alternating layers of permeable and non-permeable underground strata are not predictable by the use of signal bounces reflected over underground geology reflectors, geological fractures and an almost infinite number of subsysmal resolution, stratigraphy and lithology events . Therefore, a geological environment cannot be scientifically predicted on the accuracy of empirical operational data from intra-hole devices in said geology.

Therefore, professionals often avoid the use of unproven technology within a geological environment and use devices with empirically proven functioning within the expected geology, due to the potentially extreme costs and risks associated with operating within geological forces, substances, pressures and extreme temperatures, kilometers below the earth's surface.

Consequently, operation within a comparable geological environment is, after all, the conventional measure of acceptance, as professionals are generally not willing to accept the risk of being the first to try and use an unproven device in any particular geology.

In general, conventional professionals would prefer to live with a known problem, such as the harmonic resonance and vibration of a drill string, than to accept the risk of testing an unproven device, only to see it, for example, break and cause significant damage. more risks and damage in the process of removing parts lost inside the well.

Consequently, there is a need for a system with lower risk and cost and a method for verifying unproven technology.

Various aspects of the present invention respond to these needs.

With reference to Figure 1, it shows a flow diagram of a space supply system (10), materialization (10A), showing the identification of wells available for abandonment (82) and the execution of a contract (83) that represents, for example, a rental contract or sales contract (84) between the technology holders (85) and the abandonment liability (86) for the rights to use the space (87) and, optionally, rights to use the infrastructure (88), for the purpose of forming a space for geological tests to prove the operation of an unproven intra-drilling device (78, 92) within a mature geology, during the soneless abandonment of a senescent well.

A space supply system can be used to compress apparatus and debris (91) from the well with a compression device (92) to form a geological space that can be used to place an abandonment plug (89), to meet the abandonment liability criteria and provide integrity for the development of new technologies (78), for example, additional space-forming devices (92) to reduce the resources required by abandonment, or bypass drilling (59) and milling sets (9) or hydrodynamic bearings (1) to, for example, more effectively exploit brownfields (79) and greenfields (80), with less resources, for the benefit of public and private and regional and global benefits (90) .

Empirical measurements (93) can be made with recording tools or a transponder can be placed in a shock-absorbing protective housing (66 of Figure 22) to provide empirical data for the design, redesign, testing and field verification of new technologies ( 78) in the development of wells (57) greenfields (80) and brownfields (79). Various technologies described in the following patent applications: UK patent number 2465478 and UK patent applications number GB 1011290.2, PCT GB2010 / 051108, GB1021305.6, GB1111482.4, GB1104278.5, - GB1104278.5, - GB1121743.7, GB1121741.1 and PCT patent applications numbers US2011 / 000377 and US2011 / 000372, can be tested and developed with the present space supply system. While the new technology of the present invention is emphasized, virtually any intra-hole technology that accommodates along the well bore (57) can be tested and proven in the field, as long as resources are available. Thus, the present space formation system can be even more useful in creating a market for tests and field proofs of new technologies, in which that useful space becomes a marketable product.

The cost of drilling rig resources (58 A in Figure 18) and even some drilling operations without a probe (58C in Figure 19) is, in general, such that a usable space for field tests and proof of intra-bore tools, implantable within realistic environments made available during well abandonment (57) and through probeless operations with articulated tube (58B of Figure 17) and flexitube column (58D of Figure 20) that require much less resources, represent a significant improvement in the development of new technologies and is therefore marketable. For example, a company that has the rights to use the usable space formed during abandonment may offer to test and prove in the field technologies in exchange for a share in the ownership of such technologies or for monetary appreciation.

Given the relatively low capital investments required for probe-free abandonment, in which the current space supply system represents a new technology that requires minimal resources and the lack of competitive forces in the current oligopolistic market for service providers, well abandonment represents a significant resource cost for liability owners and an opportunity for new technology companies to compete with the gigantic service providers that dominate the market. Alternatively, ownership of minimal resources and the opportunity to test new technologies with one of the so-called gigantic service providers, will force competition in a relatively uncompetitive market, compared to the 1970s and early 1980s. In some cases, the use of fewer resources provides significant benefits for regions and our global society (90), which faces peak oil demand and dramatic increases in liquid hydrocarbon prices, because these resources could be reallocated to the needs of brownfield development ( 79) and greenfields (80) necessary to limit the said dramatic increases in liquid hydrocarbon prices associated with peak oil demand.

Referring to Figures 17 to 21, which illustrate various profile views of probes (58) that can be used with the system and method of the present invention and which show what is conventionally described as drill rig arrangements (58A) and without probe (58B, 58C and 58D) on exemplary cuts through underground wells (57) and strata (60). Drill rigs (58A) require more resources for operation, with a large turret (94) and associated lifting equipment often capable of lifting more than five hundred tons, with massive fluid pumping capabilities and associated storage capacity. Although both flexitube and articulated tube columns can be used in a drilling rig (58A), high power and torque articulation tubes are generally used. In general, drilling rigs have the most inflexible and robust equipment specifications that can represent costs of operating resources with orders of magnitude of difference compared to flexitube columns and other arrangements without a probe. Flexitube drilling platforms, often referred to as "drill-less" drilling, generally require significantly less resources than drill rigs, but much more than, for example, hinged column arrangements without a probe (58B) and cable without probe (58D). Consequently, when well abandonment and drilling column operations use non-rigged arrangements, these operations will require less resources.

Drilling rigs (58A) are generally efficient for quickly drilling and building a well within geological periods and times, kilometers and kilometers below the earth's surface. However, this use of resources generally exceeds what is necessary for abandoning wells and developing and testing new technologies. Thus, where the use of relatively low resource probeless operations is relatively inefficient for, for example, building a well (57) at 10,000 feet or 3,048 meters, probeless arrangements (58B, 58C and 58D) are more resource efficient than drilling rigs (58A) if said well is already built and the objective is to place a permanent abandonment plug (89) and test and develop new technologies in regional underground environments, similar to those in which developed tools will be used. Consequently, compared to other non-drilled approaches, the current space supply system will approach and potentially become the lowest resource use system and the industry's method for abandoning wells and testing intra-bore tools, thereby freeing up resources for reallocation to promote the development of new technologies (78), brownfields (79) and / or greenfields (80).

Figure 17 shows an isometric view of the handling (58B) without probe of an articulated tube (72, 72A) with an arrangement similar to the probe (58), where the probe (58) is located above sea level (63 ) or ground level (60) and handles individual articulated tubes (72) (72 A) to form a column of articulated tubes without a probe (67A) operable within the bore (7) of a well (57) through a associated wellhead (61). Such probe-free tube handling systems are usable for testing unproven rotating column devices (67) (78).

Now, with reference to Figure 18, an elevation view is shown with a section through the layers and the well removed. The figure shows a probe (58) and includes a type of drill (58A) with a tower (94), fluid or mud tank (123), pumps (124) and a control room, which is conventionally called the home of dog (125). The well comprises the development of a greenfield (80) that uses a junction chamber (119) and the simultaneous flow column of the junction chamber (122 shown in Figs. 26 and 27) that was proven in a previously abandoned well, in that said technology is particularly useful for fracturing operations, for example shale gas fractures.

Figure 19 shows a front view of a slice through a well and strata, illustrating a flexitube column (67F) and a flexitube drilling platform (58C), with an injection head (126) and crane (94), working in a brownfield (79) to test unproven technology after leaving the bottom end of the well.

With reference now to Figure 20, the Figure shows a frontal view through a cut through a well and the strata, showing a cable drilling platform (58D) using a flexitube column (67) of the cable (67S) through a lubricator (130), eruption preventer (131) wellhead (61) and housing (56A, 56B, 56C, 56D) to implant a pendulum drilling piston (73, 73G) with an engine (17L) and articulated steerable pendulum column (9, 9H), with a hydrodynamic bearing (1, 1U) usable to reduce the friction, shock and vibration associated with the rotary cable drilling tool.

Figure 21 illustrates a schematic diagram of a mud tank arrangement (123) usable with a flexitube column arrangement, for example, (58D) of Figure 20 or (58C) of Figure 19, in which the return fluid (129 ) under controlled pressure can be passed through a separator (132) to remove hydrocarbons or gases (133), eliminate debris (91) and return (129) circulated fluid to a sludge tank (123) or tank system closed, for pumping (124) back to drilling operations. Under-balanced drilling can be performed in this way using soneless operations, to further improve both drilling penetration speeds and the productivity of underground production resources, offering yet another exemplary opportunity to reduce resource costs with the supply system. space of the present invention.

The embodiments of the current space supply system can be operated with probes (58B-58D) to form a geological testing space to test an unproven intra-hole device (78, 92) within a mature geology, during abandonment without a drilling rig. a senescent well to, in use, relocate the operation of said unproven non-proven intra-drilling apparatus to proven operation with probes (58A-58D) within a proximal geology of similar age to that of the senescent well, another senescent well (79) , a new well (80), or a field from said wells (79, 80), commonly referred to as brownfields (79) and greenfields (80).

Figures 2, 2A and 3 show various diagrammatic front views of an underground cut through several wells (57) and types of exemplary strata applicable to the present invention. As underground wells (57 in Figure 2) have many components, simplified well schemes (for example, 57 in Figures 2A and 3) are conventionally used to ensure focus on communicated aspects. Therefore, it should be understood that a schematic diagram of the well (for example, 57 in Figure 2A) is equivalent to a more detailed diagram of the well (for example, 57 in Figure 2, below the line of the Al-Al section) and each of the wells described in Figures 3 to 16 are similar to Figure 2, except where indicated.

In general, the architecture of a well (57) comprises several cemented (64) and cementless (56A to 56D) coatings and boreholes. (7) by strata (60A to 60M). The liners can have various sizes, for example, (56D) can represent a 17.8 cm liner, (56C) a 76.2 cm conductor, (56B) a 33.0 cm liner and (56A) a liner 24.4 cm production line, within which there may be cementless annular space and production tube (56E). For a space formation system, devices can be used to compress, for example, the production tube (56E), which forms debris and potentially contains or covers with confined debris, for example, NORM or LSA precipitates, in which the tube (56E) and other associated apparatus and debris can be compressed within the uncemented annular space of the production tube (56A) to form a usable space within said production tube.

With regard to the development of new technologies (78), brownfield (79) and greenfield (80), or the testing of unproven devices (78), it is essential to understand that the referred new technologies (78) will be subjected to various pressures , stratigraphy temperatures and forces that are very different from one well to the next and that have formed over hundreds of millions of years. Consequently, the technique and practice of the well construction and production industry is to rely more on empirical data than on theoretical data given the dangers of exposure to ground substances, pressures and temperatures, where geothermal water can be so dangerous, in several cases, as for explosive hydrocarbons. Thus, field testing and proof of new technology under conditions similar to those expected is of fundamental importance for professionals. Unfortunately, the common test well for service providers is typically shallow, unmatched, and generally discredited by those skilled in the art.

The space delivery system presently described can be used to test and prove new technologies in the field, such as hydrodynamic bearings (1) and directional hydrodynamic bearing columns (9), tested in the controlled environment of an underground well, in that the lower end has been made relatively safe by the abandonment space supply system, which leaves space inside the well to test new technologies in conditions close to the real ones. It should be understood that the strata below the Al-Al line of Figure 2, Figure 2A and Figure 3 represent any of the periods of the Neogeno and Quaternary periods, with the layers below the A2-A2 line representing any of the Oligocene, Eocene periods and Paleocene of the Paleogene period and strata below ABAS represent any of the early, medium or late periods of the Cretaceous, Jurassic, Triassic, Permian, Carboniferous periods. The strata below lines A-A in Figure 17, B-B in Figure 18, C-C in Figure 19 and D-D in Figure 20 represent any epoch of the geological period of lines Al-Al, A2-A2 or ASAS.

Figures 2 and 2A show frontal section views through the well and schematic, respectively, of a well (57) with a valve tree (62) and illustrate a cut through said underground portions of the well and the wellhead (61 ), protective coating (56A-56C) cemented (64) below strata level (60), which can be both at ground level and in the mud line below sea level (63).

The valve tree (62) above ground (60) or at sea level (63), as shown, can be adapted for subsea use, where the conventional valve tree configuration represents a primary master valve (61B) and a secondary (61A), which can be used with the production valve (62C) to flow production through the flow line (62F). If the tree cap (62E) is removed and equipment (for example 58D in Figure 20) is erected at the top end of the tree, the piston valve (62D) and master valves (62A, 62B) can be opened to access the production pipe (56D) by the safety valve (65), wherein said safety valve can be operated by a control line (65A). A conventional wellhead (61) generally uses several valves in the annular space (61A, 61B) to access the annular space between the various tubes in the well (56A, 56B, 56C) with the larger superficial annular spaces exposed to the normally pressed formations left open or without valves (61C).

The access by any well hole (57) to the strata (60) can be generally classified by chemical and mineral composition, by the texture of the constituent particles and by the processes that formed them, which separate the rocks into igneas, sedimentary and metamorphic. The igneous rocks can comprise, for example, granite and basalt, which are particularly difficult to drill. While granite is often drilled into wells, most target drilling strata comprise sedimentary rocks formed on or near the earth's surface by depositing both elastic sediments, organic matter and chemical precipitates (evaporites), followed by compaction of the particulate material and cementation during diagenesis. Sedimentary rocks can comprise, for example, mud rocks, such as lamite, shale, claystone, siltstone or sandstones and carbonate rocks such as limestone or dolomite. Metamorphic rocks are formed by subjecting any type of rock (including previously formed metamorphic rock) to different conditions of temperature and pressure than those in which the original rock was formed, and therefore can be prevalent in many well holes.

Referring now to 'Figure 3, the Figure illustrates the use of an embodiment (10H) of a space supply system (10), shown as a compression device (92), comprising an annular block by an insulating sliding piston bypass (92C) and is used to compress the debris (91), for example precipitates chemically and hydraulically struck in the well and strata before placing an abandon plug (89) to allow the well to deviate from Figure 2A , using a reel pendulum drill column (67, 67A), comprising a drill piston (73), the embodiment (73A) with a reactive torque tractor (74) steerable drill column (9, 9A), using a motor (17L) to rotate an articulated column implantable by profiling cable (75, 75G) and a second inline motor (17) to rotate an upper and lower cutting structure (112), which can be used to drill the said lateral deviation (59), embodiment (59A), which it can be placed, recoverable and operable by means of said tractable flexitube column (67) and it can pump pressure through said previously formed hole (7), with the fluid pressure applied through and around said drilling piston tube by one or more surfaces or tubes of fluid pumps or motors. The space supply system (10) can be used to drill a second lateral deviation (59B) and optionally produce from any marginal production resources found before placing a final abandon plug to permanently isolate said lateral deviations (59A, 59B). Also shown in Figure 3 are the hydrodynamic bearings (1, IB, 1C and 1D).

Referring now to Figures 1, 8 to 12 and 22, the Figures include the space supply system (10) elements (10D, 10E, 55, 66) and the prior art (51, 52). Figures 8 and 9 show isometric views of a prior art shotgun (51) and cartridge components (52) that illustrate, respectively, a capsule (52) with the plastic tube (52A) that can be placed in the gun chamber (51B) . The contact of a firing pin with the fuse (54) embedded in the hole (52B) of the breech starts a powder explosion inside the capsule, comparable to an implantation tube (56E, 56B, 56C), which can be used to fire a chuck (53, 95A) and act as a piston (95) to push several projectiles, which is comparable to the cracked end of the crushed tube (56E, 56A, 56B, relative to the tubes containing them) of the gun barrel (51A ), which can be comparable to the tube containing them (56A, 56B, 56C, relative to the compressed tubes), with an inner cementless hole. For example, the bushing (92) can: compress the tube (56E) into the jacket (56A), compress the tube (56A) with the jacket (56B) and so on. A pinout arrangement can be used to anchor several well tubes during explosive compression or milling as described in Figure 12. Alternatively, several compression devices (92) can use cables to enlarge a hole by compressing debris at the bottom end of the well, as described. In addition, empirical measurements can be made during and after compression and / or during intra-puncture testing of unproven devices using various embodiments.

Referring now to Figure 22, which shows an isometric view of the shock absorber (66) of the present inventor and which can be used to place a transmitter inside a borehole for measurements around or below components, tablets by a space supply system of the present invention (for example, those described in Figures 5-7 and 10-11). The transmitter can be fitted inside a transmitter housing (66D), which can be placed in contact with the casing (for example, 56A-56D of Figures 2 and 2A) by means of a cover (66C) or the housing ( 66A), in which said contact may remain when the sensor is damped (66B) against shocks and adverse forces when, for example, the well components are compressed using the operations of the space supply system, thus allowing the transmission of empirical data through the wellhead coatings on the surface.

A sensor and / or transponder can be separated from the compression and percussion forces by at least one shock-absorbing structure, spring, movable bearing arrangement, gelatinous material or protective stabilizer that provides, in use, continuous ultrasonic or electrical contact with the tube wall extending to the conductor at the wellhead for the transmission of a signal through said tube wall, while inhibiting voltages transmitted to said sensor or transponder, due, for example, to crushing tubes below a piston of crushing of annular tube space, which can be used to expose the production coating for the registration of rear primary cementation, placement of a well barrier element, and / or benchmarking, development, testing and improvement of new technologies.

Conventional registration generally occurs within the innermost gallery and is unable to determine the state of the primary cementation around the coatings because the registration tools within the production tube cannot make contact with the coatings. Various embodiments of the method of the present invention can be used to form a geological space where registration, to confirm primary cementation adjacent to tubes, can occur. Signals can, for example, be transmitted from the reflected signal recording tool acquired by a different part of the recording tool, or signals can be transmitted between the wellhead, surface or submarine location and an intra-bore transmitter or receiver . Using embodiments of the recording tool methods of the present invention, the measurement signals can be coupled with the circumference of the tube walls to provide sonic, acoustic or various other forms of measurement signals, for example, the response time of the signals that pass through the bonded cementation and not adhered to the tube to measure the degree of adhesion and / or the cementation present. The process can be visualized as touching or hitting a glass and measuring the noise or vibration received to determine whether the glass is free standing in a liquid or firmly cemented in one location.

Signal transmitters and / or receivers can be coupled with tubes or fluids from the annular space through penetrations or through wellhead openings into the annular space. A signal can be sent from the wellhead, or from an external transmitter that works in a similar way to a VSP recording tool used to calibrate seismic data, where it can be used to see the existence of primary cementation adjacent to the hole strata and can be calibrated with registration data made during and / or after the construction of a well.

Depending on the result of the log measurements, several other elements of the system of the present invention can be used to place temporary or permanent well barrier elements within the well in the appropriate underground depths to meet industry best practices and avoid future potential leak paths and / or simulate the abandonment of equipment by placing cement plugs through the coverings. In addition, the embodiments can be compatible with rope and column and are therefore usable with both the probe-less arrangement and minimalist controlled pressure arrangements to permanently abandon an underground well in a probe-free manner.

Figure 12 illustrates a schematic front view of a pipe fixing arrangement (55), with only a portion of the hole (7) of the well (57) in frontal radial cross section shown below the cross section in front view of the right transverse side (55A, 55B, 55C) of the diameters of the cable fixing elements, in different configurations on the left and right side of the cable fixation, shown in the upper right corner. The flexible cable (55A) and the drill bit (55D) can be used to drill various coatings (56) tubes (56A, 56B, 56C), with the flexible cable (55A) which can be used as a spine for the arrangement (55) of connected pin tube (55C), which can be combined to secure and / or reinforce the partial tube element (55B) to hold the tubes together (55A, 55B and 55C). Such pin arrangements can be used, for example, in the drilling, milling and space supply operations shown in Figures 3 to 7 and weapon compression such as Figure 10.

Figures 10 and 11 illustrate the schematic front cuts through an underground well, showing the example of the space supply system (10), the embodiment (10D) of the compression device (92) by explosive element and embodiment of the cable element ( 10E), respectively. The UK patent applications previously described GB1011290.2, PCT GB2010 / 051108, GB 1111482.4 and GB1116098.3 describe elements of the space supply system (10) that can also be used, for example, axial compression devices and / or radial compression plug and / or diaphragm piston compression (92) or hydraulic striker and / or explosive compression devices (92), to form usable underground spaces with low-cost resources, and thus reallocate resources that would be used to satisfy an abandonment liability.

Referring now to Figure 10, the Figure illustrates a schematic front view of a cut through the hole (7) of the underground well (57) and shows an explosive piston space supply system (10) embodiment (10D) of the element compression device (92). The capsule element (96) is shown fitted to an articulated column or flexitube column of a probe-free arrangement and contains an explosive that can be started by a firing head (98) to launch the expandable type piston (95) ( 95B), for example, a bladder, diaphragm, or loofah variety, which can be used to compress the separate 'portion of the implantation tube (56E, 56A, 56B), not cemented into a surrounding tube (56A, 56B, 56C, with respect to the respective separate implantation tube). An orifice or a one-way valve (97) can be used to release the liquid trapped under the piston (95B) of the compression device (92), of a type of striker (92A), which moves inside the tube that the contains. The upper end of the implantation tube (56E, 56A, 56B) to be separated, can be anchored with a pin arrangement (55) to allow the explosive to separate said tube and move it axially downwards in relation to its anchored portion holding the capsule element (96) and the articulated or flexitube implantation column. Alternatively, the implant can be separated before being axially compressed, downwards, to form the debris (91).

Figure 11 shows on the left and right sides schematic views in plan above the frontal in cross sections through the hole (7) of an underground well (57) and the figure shows the embodiment (10E) of the compression device (92) cable type (92B) of a space supply system (10) shown on the left side before activation and on the right side after activation. The compression device (92B) can be implanted by means of a cable (67) of type (AD 67) of bending (99) of the tube, which cable, anchored (102) at its lower end, passes through a plurality eccentric holes (100) in plates (101) that can be spaced inside a compressible cementless tube inside the tube that surrounds it, in which said fractioning cable can bend said cementless tube by aligning the holes (100) ) with the axis of the pull cable (67AD), 'thus allowing axial compression in relation to the anchor of said bent tube (99). Debris (91) can be formed by bending and plastic deformation of the tube. The cable compression device (92B) can be combined with, for example, an explosive device (92A) of the present invention and / or axial compression plug and / or radial compression and / or diaphragm piston compression devices (92 ) or hydraulic striker and / or explosive compression devices (92) of the present inventor to further bend and compress the bent tube.

Referring now to Figures 4, 5, 6 and 7, which show the embodiment (92D) of a compression device (92) and the embodiment (9B) of the drill column for opening directed hole (9) in Figure 4 , with embodiments (92E), (92F) and (92G) in Figures 5, 6 and 7, respectively, of the cable compression device (92).

Figure 4 illustrates a schematic front view of the cut through holes and linings of a well describing the embodiment (92D) of a compression device (92) and the embodiment (9B) of the hole-opening drill (9), which may comprise a cable (67B) embodiment (73B) of the implantable piston column (73), which uses a tractor reactive torque (74), which can be operated by a motor (17F) to rotate the solid pendulum axes of the embodiment ( 17A) of a milling motor (17), similar to the milling arrangement (9AA) of Figures 13 to 16. The tension of the cable (67B) and the tractor (74) provide an upward movement, despite the fluid pressure downwards applied to the piston column (73B), in which the tubes can be fixed by the pin (55) in place to avoid adverse lateral movement and stabilize the arched walls (4), which comprises extensible arms of an elbow screw, arms that can be extended radially to cut tubes with the ass knife used and / or cutting structures equipped with wheels (112) on said arms to assist and stabilize said set of hole-opening drill (9) milling layers and / or coating. The debris (91) can be compressed into the lower end of said well by said well milling apparatus into smaller particles which can be compressed downwards, with pressure exerted from above.

Referring now to Figure 13, the Figure shows a schematic front view of a cross section of a milling column (9AA of Figures 14 to 16) and of the motor arrangement (17E), which can deflect jointly to engage holes successively larger (7) in effectively increasing rotary diameters (23A) to mill the tubes (56E, 56D, 56A, 57B, 56C), where the outer wall (5) has cutting surfaces (112), which also act as walls arched (4).

Figures 14, 15 and 16 illustrate a plan view of the EE line, a frontal cross section o along the EE line and an isometric projection section along the EE line, respectively and show the embodiment (IBM) of a fluid bearing (1) with the outer wall (11AE) bearing sleeve (12AD) bearing (69) with an articulated sleeve at the upper end (71), where the fluid (23) enters (32) between the profiles (3AB) and (6AG) to rotate the sleeve (12) on the shaft (2). The discharge holes (33) are shown in Figure 15. The embodiment (17E) of the formation of an engine (17), is achieved by the use of a fluid flow (23) through the passage (22) inside the articulated journal ( 71) to rotate the outer wall of the sleeve (5) and associated with the arcuate surface (4), which comprises the milling cut structure (112) that can be used to perform the milling operations (9AA of Figure 13). The sleeve (12) is illustrated to mark the profiles (3AB) and (6AG), by which, in practice, said sleeve extends up to. a sealable hitch on the articulated journal (71).

Referring now to Figure 5, a schematic front view is shown through holes and linings in a well and the Figure shows the embodiment (92E) of a compression device (92), which can be used with a pullable cable (67C) anchored (102, 103) at both ends, with a pulley (105) at the lower end. The tube (56E) can be pinned (55) to the surrounding tube (56A) and traction can be applied to a cable head (77) on the upper anchor (103) via the cable connector (77 A) for, for example, couple the cable head, split the associated cables, separate the coupling (106) and bend the implantation tube (56E) below said separate coupling, using the lower end cable pulley (105) to split the cable between the anchors upper (103) and lower (102). Compression can occur either upwards or downwards, depending on the arrangement of the sheave (105) in the upper or lower anchorage, respectively, with the associated pinning (55) and separating (55) or, for example, explosive, chemical or mechanic of the cementless tube (56E) being compressed inside the surrounding tubes.

Figures 6 and 7 show schematic views in front sections through holes and well casings and show the embodiments (92F, 92G, respectively) of a compression device (92), which can be used with a pullable cable (67D) anchored (102, 103) at both ends, with a pulley (105) at the lower end of the tube, which is also shown pinned (105) to a surrounding tube (56A).
