Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a device for hydraulically and selectively controlling a set of instruments or tools connected to a casing placed inside a well drilled in the ground, in particular a horizontal well.
  • the invention further provides a valve allowing the implementation of the method, this valve being able to use the device according to the invention.
  • the invention applies to the evolutionary exploitation of geological formations or production areas, such as oil or gas production areas.
  • the tools that can be used can be valves arranged in each of the formations or each of the production zones and controlled remotely using the method or the device according to the invention.
  • Document GB-A-2 117 031 discloses a device for hydraulically controlling a set of at least two tools connected to a casing. To selectively control the tools, it is necessary to provide a hydraulic line for each tool.
  • a notable advantage of the invention is to reduce the number of hydraulic lines which should be used according to the teaching of the prior art. This advantage is more particularly noticeable at the level of the crossing of the seals (when there are any), by the hydraulic lines, these seals being for example of the packer type; from the point of view of the bulk of the lines along the casing, in particular at its periphery; for reducing the cost of hydraulic lines and their implementation that the invention allows.
  • the invention advantageously applies to the production of horizontal wells. Indeed, particularly in oil drilling, the production of a well causes a displacement of the various layers of liquids in the production area, called the cone effect (in English "coning"). In production in horizontal wells, the arrival of undesirable liquids, such as water, is generally carried out irregularly along the well, so much so that a large part of the desired liquid, such as oil, n is not extracted from training.
  • the control member of the distribution means may include an electrical line.
  • the power line can be connected to a first electrical connection member placed inside the casing and adapted to cooperate with a second complementary electrical member connected to the ground surface by a transmission cable.

  • the first or the second line could serve as a conduit for carrying out a circulation of fluid in the casing.
  • the invention also provides a sliding jacket valve that can be used to equip well casings drilled in the ground.
  • This valve makes it possible in particular to carry out in a simple manner the selective production of geological formations traversed by the casing using a very small number of control lines.
  • This reduction in the number of lines is particularly advantageous at the crossing of the seals, by the lines these seals can be of the "packer" type; from the point of view of the size of the lines along the casing, in particular at its periphery and also the reduction in the costs of setting up these lines.

  • This valve is notably characterized in that it further comprises return means, such as a spring, acting on the jacket, the hydraulic control means tending to move the jacket from an initial position, against the action of the return means, so as to modify the opening of the orifices, the return means being adapted to return the jacket to the initial position in the absence of sufficient action from the hydraulic control means.
  • return means such as a spring
  • the first tool or instrument may admit a circulation of hydraulic fluid in the two opposite directions and may include a reservoir adapted to contain a variable mass of fluid, this reservoir being connected by a first of said connections to the first hydraulic line, and for producing in the connection of the first tool or instrument a flow in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the distribution means of the first tool or instrument can be opened and the pressure in the first hydraulic line can be released.
  • a second hydraulic line having at least one connection with at least one of the tools or instruments, and to produce, in the connection with the first hydraulic line of the tool or instrument connected to the second hydraulic line, a circulation. of fluid in a first direction or in a second direction opposite to the first direction, one can open the means of distribution of the tool or instrument connected to the two lines, and one can establish, in the first or second line), suitable pressures to create a circulation of fluid, in the connection with the first line, according to the first or the second direction.
  • the first and second tools or instruments may be placed on the casing and may be adapted to modify the transfer flow rate of production fluid between the interior and the outside of the casing.
  • the distribution means can be controlled electrically by a cable connected to a first electrical connection member placed inside the casing, a second complementary electrical connection member can be inserted and moved into the casing and connected to the ground surface by a transmission cable and the first and second electrical connection members can be made to cooperate, so as to control the distribution means from the ground surface.
