" seating nipple " is meant the braced structures of one, for example, housing or other member, described braced structures can support the various parts that comprise flow control apparatus and isolated component.The seating nipple of one is different from traditional solution, in traditional solution, flow control apparatus and packer for example typically be arranged on by be threaded or some other bindiny mechanism's independent seating nipple connected to one another on.
Another module 204 comprises incorporate flow control apparatus 214 and the isolated component 216 that is arranged on the shared seating nipple 218 equally.Isolated component comprises expandable potted component 220.
In Fig. 2, each isolated component 208 and 216 potted component 212 and 220 make to isolate to be arranged between different zone 222,224 and 226 at expanding position.As shown in Figure 2, perforation 228 be formed at 224 adjacent stratum, zone in so that zone 224 and can being communicated with between the stratum on every side.Similarly, perforation 230 be arranged on 222 adjacent stratum, zone in so that zone 222 and can being communicated with between the stratum on every side.
Fig. 3 schematically shows the parts that make isolated component 208,216 and flow control apparatus 206,214 form the integrated module (202,204) of one.Isolated component 208,216 comprises actuating mechanism 300, and flow control apparatus 206,214 comprises can be along the sliding sleeve that vertically moves 302 of seating nipple 210,218.Sliding sleeve 302 has block fluid flow and crosses the primary importance that is formed at the radial port 304 in the seating nipple 210,218 and port 304 is opened fully to provide fluid the mobile second place.Sliding sleeve 302 can also move to the positions that increase in the middle of one or more, and the position that increases in the middle of described is provided for controlling the position that partially opens by the fluid flow of port 304.Sliding sleeve 302 can move by the actuating mechanism 306 of flow control apparatus 206,214.
As further specifying among Fig. 3, shared control pipeline 308 is used to control isolated component actuating mechanism 300 and flow control apparatus actuating mechanism 306.Control pipeline 308 can extend into the well from ground location, and is connected to the control pipeline part 310 that extends through seating nipple 210,218.Control pipeline part 310 in the seating nipple 210,218 functionally is connected to isolated component actuating mechanism 300 and flow control apparatus actuating mechanism 306.In an example, control pipeline 308 can be the hydraulic control pipeline with hydraulic starting actuating mechanism 300,306. Actuating mechanism 300 and 306 can be set at different hydraulic pressure and activate, or alternatively, actuating mechanism 300,306 can respond the different period of hydraulic pressure.The hydraulic pressure of circulation is meant the hydraulic pressure of a series of risings and the hydraulic pressure of reduction.A plurality of hydraulic pressure circulations are meant this rising of a plurality of series and the hydraulic pressure of reduction.First period that isolated component actuating mechanism 300 can respond hydraulic pressure activated, and activated and flow control apparatus actuating mechanism 306 can respond second period of hydraulic pressure.
In alternative embodiment, control pipeline 308 can be electrical control pipeline or fibre optics control pipeline.In these cases, actuating mechanism 300,306 is provided with suitable control circuit, with coded electrical signal or optical signal.
In addition, alternative embodiment can adopt the control pipeline more than, to handle and to activate the difference in functionality of integrated module 202.Hydraulic pressure, combination electric or fibre optics control pipeline can be used to control integrated module, and feedback is provided to ground.The common use of other integrated module (for example, 204) that in these control pipelines some are tasked in the well 100 by branch also can be mutually continuous with described integrated module, so that reduce to minimum to the quantity of ground control pipeline.
Fig. 4 shows a kind of alternative embodiment of integrated module 400, and described integrated module comprises isolated component 208,216, flow control apparatus 206,214 and instrument part 402.Instrument part 402 comprises can be one or more instruments of sensor 404 and control device 406.Sensor 404 is used to measure some down-hole states, for example, and temperature, pressure, flow, density, strain, resistivity etc.Control device 406 is used to provide the control task about some underground components, for example, starts logging probe (downhole tool).Integrated module 400 comprises shared seating nipple 408, and isolated component, flow control apparatus and instrument partly are arranged on the described seating nipple.
Fig. 5 shows another embodiment of the integrated module 500 with shared seating nipple 502.In module 500, two flow control apparatus 504 and 506 are provided with together in company with isolated component 508.Flow control apparatus 504,506 and isolated component 508 all are arranged on the shared seating nipple 502.Module 500 provides the dual-flow control function in conjunction with isolation features.
Fig. 6 has shown another embodiment in conjunction with the module of a plurality of isolation and FLOW CONTROL function.Module 600 comprises upper and lower isolated component 602 and 604, limits specific flow interval with the axis along well.Flow control apparatus 606 be placed between isolated component 602 and 604 and with isolated component 602 and 604 on identical seating nipple.
What may arouse attention especially to some structures of Fig. 6 is applied as isolated component 602 and the 604 isolated material manufacturings by self swelling.These materials (for example, BACEL rigid foam or aquogel polymer) are designed to when being exposed to various fluid environment swelling and form sealing with sleeve pipe or well bore wall.Similarly, described isolated component does not need to activate any control pipeline, and easily joins the outside of seating nipple, and adds at the several position place if desired.
According to some embodiment, by a plurality of functions being attached to the more efficient use that can realize space in the well on the single seating nipple (module).The assembling of compacter (shorter and smaller) of integrated permission parts makes it possible to achieve shallow subregion and isolates.In addition, the shared control pipeline of integrated permission is to raise the efficiency.In addition, because the misalignment issues of different parts in tool string can be eliminated or reduce to a plurality of parts integrated in a module.Other advantage comprises owing to having eliminated screw thread or other connection, having reduced the connection and splicing lower leakage possibility that quantity caused and because the configuration faster of the integrated job site that causes in advance that are used to control pipeline.
Though the embodiment about limited quantity discloses the present invention, open thus will be understood by those skilled in the art that and can making multiple improvement and change of being benefited to described embodiment.Mean appended claims and cover this improvement and the change that falls in true spirit of the present invention and the scope.
