Abstract
A cable (10) for use in the deployment of services in a wellbore as described which comprises a conductive core (12) which is insulated from at least one layer (18, 20) of armour wires by an insulating layer (16). To control the migration of well fluids through the pressure control equipment, the voids (24) between the armour wires (22) are filled with a resilient material to prevent well fluids from seeping into the voids (24) between the armour wires causing damage to the cable (10). The resilient material binds strongly to the armour wires (22) preventing the armour wires from separating, even after repeated use or loss of tension. Thus, the armour filled with resilient material provides satisfactory mechanical strength for bearing relatively large loads. The resilient material also provides the cable with a smooth outside surface.
Description
CONDUCTIVE SL~CKLINE CABLE
The present invention relates to a cable, and particularly but not exclusively, to a cable for use in the deployment of services in a well bore.
Various cable assemblies have been proposed for the deployment of services in a well bore. Typical cable assemblies include electric lines and slickline cables.
An electric line comprises a central conductive core formed from between one and seven electrical conductors.
The core is surrounded by a layer of insulating material, which in turn, is surrounded by an inner layer and an outer layer of armour wires. The armour wires of the inner layer are wrapped around the longitudinal axis of the cable in the opposite direction to the armour wires of the outer layer. The arrangement provides the cable with mechanical strength and helps to prevent the cable from untorquing during use.
Such electric lines may be used to deploy relatively large loads in wellbores and may be used to communicate with and power downhole equipment in real-time. However, electric lines have an uneven surface which requires the use of pressure control equipment incorporating grease control flowtubes, which prevent the migration of well fluids and gases through the voids between the cable armours. A further disadvantage is that the armour wires may separate with repeated use or loss of tension. In such situations, special techniques are required to allow safe recovery of the line from the well bore.
A slickline comprises a single strand of alloy or steel wire used for the mechanical manipulation of various equipment in a well bore. The outside surface of a slickline is smooth; thus, the frictional force in raising or lowering a slickline is relatively low. In addition, the complexity of pressure control equipment used to deploy slickline is considerably less than that which is necessary to deploy an electric line.
Slicklines, however, cannot be used to transmit WO 99!48111 PCT/GB99/00717 electricity and, accordingly, cannot be used to communicate electrically, and, accordingly, cannot be used to power downhole equipment.
It is among the objects of embodiments of the present invention to obviate or mitigate at least one of the disadvantages associated with the existing cable assemblies.
It is a further object of embodiments of the present invention to provide a conductive cable having a smooth outside surface, high mechanical strength and which is resistant to damage by well fluids.
This is achieved by providing a cable comprising a conductive core which is insulated from at least one layer of armour wires by an insulating layer. To control the migration of well fluids through the pressure control equipment, the voids between the armour wires are filled with a resilient material to prevent well fluids from seeping into the voids between the armour wires causing damage to the cable. The resilient material binds strongly to the armour wires preventing the armour wires from separating, even after repeated use or loss of tension. Thus, the armour filled with resilient material provides satisfactory mechanical strength for bearing relatively large loads. The resilient material also provides the cable with a smooth outside surface.
According to the present invention, there is provided a cable comprising:
a conductive core, at least one layer of insulating material surrounding said conductive core, at least one layer of armour wires disposed around said layer of insulating material, said wires defining voids therebetween, and a resilient material disposed in said voids between said armour wires.
The cable of the present invention may be used for the deployment of services in a wellbore, and is suitable, for example, for communicating electrically and powering downhole tools in real time. Additionally and/or alternatively, the cable may be used to raise or lower relatively large loads in a wellbore. The resilient material fills the voids between the wires so that the armour wires are bound together and are resistant to separation, even after repeated use. The outside surface of the cable is relatively smooth; thus, the frictional losses involved in raising and lowering the cable are relatively low. The cable has a high degree of mechanical strength and is resistant to damage by well fluids and permits deployment utilising the minimum of pressure control equipment.
Preferably, the cable comprises an even number of armour wire layers. Preferably also, each layer is wrapped around the longitudinal axis of the cable in an opposite direction to the layer immediately adjacent to it. In a preferred embodiment, the cable comprises an inner layer and an outer layer of armour wires. The armour wires of the inner layer are wrapped around the longitudinal axis of the cable in the opposite direction to the armour wires of the outer layer. The arrangement provides the cable with mechanical strength and helps to prevent the cable from untorquing during use.
The conductive core may be formed of one or more electrical conductors. Any suitable metal or metal alloy wire may be used as an electrical conductor. In one embodiment, the conductive core comprises a bundle of seven copper conductors. In a preferred embodiment, a single conductor comprising a bundle of seven #20AWG, 7/,126"BCu copper strands is employed.
The conductive core is insulated by a layer of, for example, a plastics material. Suitable plastics insulators include, for example, EPC, PVC and PTFE. In a preferred embodiment, a layer of 0.05842cm (0.023") Wall EPC is used.
The armour wires may be formed from Incalloy, stainless steel or carbon steel.
Preferably, the armour wires are formed from galvanised improved plough steel (IPS). In a preferred embodiment, an inner armour layer of 12/0.024" wire and an outer armour layer of 15/0.03" wire are used.
The voids between the armour wires are filled with any resilient material, for example, a plastics material.
Suitable plastics include polypropylene, TPX, Tefzel and Teflon PTFE. Most preferably, however, the voids are filled with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
Polytetrafluoroethylene molecularly bonds to the armour wires, preventing the wires from separating even after extensive use. The polytetrafluoroethylene also provides the cable with a protective seal and a smooth outside surface. The resulting cable withstands conditions, for example, of pressure and temperature within a well bore, and is resistant to damage by well fluids. The cable is also suitable for supporting relatively large loads by virtue of its high mechanical strength, and permits deployment utilising the minimum of pressure control equipment.
Advantageously, the bond formed between the resilient material bonds to the armour wires is consistent throughout the length of the cable. In one embodiment, this is achieved by applying the resilient material to the cable at the time of applying the armour wires. Alternatively, the resilient material may be applied using a pressurised die process similar to that employed in the construction of heavy duty marine umbilicals.
Preferably, the cable is surrounded by a further protective layer.
Advantageously, each kilometre length of cable weighs approximately between 60 and 120 kg. Typically, each kilometre length of cable weighs approximately 80 to 100 kg. In a preferred embodiment, the mass of the cable is 94kg per km.
