Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for the remote actuation of equipment used in connection with pipes in which a fluid circulates.
  • the actuation is carried out by circulation of a fluid flow rate, this being lower than the service flow rates.
  • annular piston having two faces and a throttle member comprising a needle nozzle with variable passage section is used.
  • One side of this piston is subjected to the pressure forces existing on one side of the throttle member, the other side is subjected to the pressure forces on the other side of the throttle member.
  • the nozzle is carried by the piston and the needle is fixed relative to a conduit containing the assembly and in which the piston can move to effect the desired actuation.
  • the piston includes return means which maintain it in a rest position corresponding to a relatively large cross-section of the throttle member causing a low pressure drop for service flows.
  • patent FR-2575793 The prior art can be illustrated by patent FR-2575793.
  • this device operates by increasing the speed compared to the service speeds.
  • drilling conditions may prohibit such an increase in flow.
  • the consecutive increase in pressure losses downstream of the device can cause fracturing in the ground or destabilize the walls of the well, which can jeopardize the safety of the operation.
  • an increase in power compared to the power used in drilling is often impossible because the pumping equipment is frequently already requested at its full power for the drilling operation itself.
  • Patent FR-2641320 solves the problem of the precision of the threshold flow rate by using a nozzle or a needle carried by the piston, but movable relative to this piston.
  • This nozzle or this needle is sensitive to a flow threshold in a precise manner, but the actuation always has the major drawback of being triggered by an increase in flow. compared to service rates.
  • the present invention makes it possible to solve these two problems by using a needle-needle system or an appropriate equivalent which in particular allows actuation to be triggered by using a flow threshold lower than or equal to the service flows, while providing an activation force. important as necessary for actuation.
  • the method which consists in sending a ball or another obturation member, in the fluid circulation pipe.
  • This ball falls or is pumped on a piston having a seat.
  • the pipe being closed by the ball cooperating with the seat, the pumping can then develop an actuating pressure on the piston without requiring a large flow.
  • this method has many disadvantages. Indeed, the operation time can be relatively long depending on the drilling depth, the total closure of the circulation channel requires a complex and delicate system for ejecting the ball after actuation. Failures of such a system can be catastrophic for continued operations.
  • the present invention allows control of the actuation at low flow rate without requiring the sending of a ball, and leaves the circulation channel free of any major obstacle which would risk eliminating the possibility of circulating a fluid in the borehole.
  • the present invention relates to a device for the remote actuation of equipment by a variation in the flow of a fluid, possibly incompressible, comprising means of coupling between said device and said equipment, an assembly comprising at least two elements cooperating with each other to control the value of the opening of the passage channel of said fluid.
  • This device is characterized in that it comprises control means which regulate said opening value to make it take one or the other of two particular values, for the same flow rate of said fluid, in that the actuation the equipment is remotely carried out for predetermined flow characteristics when said control means adjust to one of the two particular opening values of said elements, and in that for the same flow conditions the actuation is not not obtained when said control means set the other opening value of said elements.
  • the assembly comprising two elements can be an assembly comprising a nozzle and a needle.
  • Said coupling means can comprise one of these elements and the other element can be slidably mounted in the pipe.
  • control means may comprise means for blocking the sliding of said element mounted to slide in the pipe which limit said sliding along two stroke lengths, which correspond to said two predetermined opening values.
  • the element mounted to slide in the pipe may include a return means, said return means adjusts the value of the opening of the fluid passage channel to a value significantly lower than said predetermined opening values.
  • the hydrodynamic force created by the flow of the fluid at the level of said element mounted to slide in the pipe opposes in particular the force developed by said return means and said hydrodynamic force causes said element mounted to slide from one or the other. sliding stroke value.
  • the device is also characterized in that said element mounted on said coupling means can be mounted to slide relative to said coupling means and in that this element comprises a return means whose force is opposed to the hydrodynamic force created by the flow of fluid at said element carried by said coupling means.
  • Said element carried by the coupling means can be the nozzle and the other element is then the needle.
  • the coupling means can be an operating shaft.
  • the control means of the device may comprise a system of cooperating fingers with a groove of variable depth and the shape of which regulates the sliding stroke of said element mounted to slide in the pipe according to said two particular values.
  • the needle may have different straight sections along its length. The cooperation of these straight sections with the nozzle can create a notable variation in the flow regime of the fluid and this variation can be measured from a distance.
  • the device can be applied to the actuation of equipment integrated into a drill string.
  • An application of said device can be characterized in that the device, by actuating one or more stabilizers with variable geometry or an elbow fitting with variable angle, can allow control of the direction of the trajectory of a drilling.
  • the main idea of the invention is based on a device for partially closing off the passage of the flow of fluid flowing in the pipe in which said device is installed.
  • This device can be adjusted according to at least two shutter levels: one corresponds to the shutter value allowing the actuation of said equipment, the other to a minimum shutter value, ie in fact the maximum opening of said device which corresponds to fluid circulation conditions which can allow various conventional operations, in particular drilling.
  • the actuation is done according to the prior art thanks to the pressure drops created by said obstruction of the circulation channel. This pressure difference being sufficient to act on actuating means, such as a piston, to allow actuation of equipment.
  • actuating means are not activated when the shutter value corresponds to the second level of adjustment.
  • the level the obturation of the channel can be such that the flow necessary for the creation of the actuation energy is notably lower compared to the service flows.
  • the adjustment assembly can be remotely controlled by any known means, in particular by pressure waves in the pipe, by electromagnetic waves, by axial forces on the pipe, by rotation of the pipe or by other means of remote communication with the device.
  • Figure 1 schematically shows a partial closure system of the pipe 1, separating the pipe into a downstream part 2, and an upstream part 3 relative to the sealing system.
  • Game comprising a nozzle 4 secured to the pipe and a needle 5.
  • the needle 5 is carried by an adjustment device 6 and can slide relative to the nozzle 4.
  • the control of the adjustment device is done by a set 8.
  • This figure shows a control principle involving the circulation of fluid through the closure system.
  • Figure 1 shows more particularly the so-called rest position of the closure system when there is no fluid circulation.
  • the action of a return means 7 keeps the needle 5 in its position of greatest penetration into the nozzle 4.
  • Figure 1A shows the closure system in its position of greatest passage of the fluid.
  • the command received by the assembly 8 adjusted the apparatus 6 so that the sliding of the needle 5, from the position illustrated in FIG. 1, has the longest stroke.
  • the return means 7 is thwarted by the flow of the fluid at the needle 5, which causes the needle 5 to recede.
  • the flow of the fluid represented by the arrows 9 causes only a minimum of loss load between zones 2 and 3 of the pipeline.
  • FIG. 1B shows the closure system in the actuation position.
  • the command received by the assembly 8 adjusted the apparatus 6 to limit the sliding stroke of the needle 5 so as to have a restriction in the passage of the fluid thanks to the cooperation of the nozzle 4 with the needle 5.
  • the pressure drop created between 2 and 3 activates the equipment located upstream of said device.
  • Figure 1C shows the same principle of closure system but in the case where the needle 10 is fixed in the pipe and the nozzle 11 slides relative to the needle.
  • a return means 7 positions the nozzle at the location shown 13 when there is no flow. The two positions are obtained according to the setting of the assembly 8 which acts on a retaining element 12. The nozzle moves back as much as possible under the effect of the circulation when the retaining 12 is retracted, the setting then corresponds to the drilling position . The nozzle sees are limited sliding in position 14 when the retainer 12 is released, the adjustment corresponds to the actuation position.
  • the invention may not include a so-called rest position as shown in FIG. 1, in fact the adjustment system 6 may be able to pass in an indifferent order from the drilling position of FIG. 1A to the actuation position of Figure 1B without having to go through a rest position.
  • the shutter system can in particular remain in the position it previously occupied.
  • the coupling means between said device and the equipment to be actuated can be hydraulic if the actuation means of the equipment reacts to a pressure. They can be in particular mechanical and in this case a piston cooperates with the shutter assembly by coupling means so as to have a face subjected to the differential pressure created between the parts 2 and 3. This piston can be connected by a equipment drive shaft. The displacement of this piston under the effect of the differential pressure provides the actuation energy necessary to obtain the determined actuation movement.
  • the body of the device consists of the assembly of two connectors 15 and 16 according to conventional methods.
  • the upper connector 15 contains the actuation shaft 17 which is hollow.
  • the direction of circulation of the fluid corresponds to the direction of the arrow 18.
  • the end of the shaft 17 carries the assembly made up of a nozzle holder 19, a nozzle 20 and a return spring 21. Seals 22 complete the assembly.
  • a bidirectional valve 50 makes it possible to balance the pressure between the chamber of the spring 21 and the outside.
  • the nozzle 20 thus has the form of an annular piston with differential section, the largest section of which is upstream of the flow.
  • the lower connector 16 contains a piston 23 to which the needle 24 is fixed by means of a spacer 25.
  • This spacer 25 is adapted to allow the circulation of the fluid to pass according to the arrows 26.
  • the annular piston 23 has seals 27 substantially at each end, a return spring 28 and a section restriction 29.
  • At least one finger 30 cooperates with a groove 31 machined in the body of the piston 23.
  • This assembly constitutes a non-limiting example of a system for adjusting the stroke of the piston 23 secured to the needle 24.
  • FIG. 2A shows in a developed manner said groove carried by the piston 23.
  • the groove is continuous around the circumference of the external surface of the piston 23. It consists of an integer number of steps.
  • the M-shaped trace drawn by the groove connecting points a, b, c, d and e represents a step.
  • the arrows 32, 33, 34 and 35 show the direction of movement of the finger 30 in said groove to pass respectively from a to b, from b to c, from c to d and from d to e.

  • adjusting finger was remote-controlled in particular electromagnetically to adjust the sliding of the piston 23 in one of the two positions by cooperating with stops carried by the piston.
  • FIG. 3 represents the device in the drilling position where it is possible to circulate at all flow rates up to the maximum without actuation, at least as long as the pressure drop between parts 2 and 3 remains lower than the differential actuation pressure.
  • the circulation flow along arrow 18 creates a hydrodynamic force on the needle 24 and piston 23 assembly. This force is adjusted as a function of the passage restriction 29 located in the piston. When said force is greater than the force exerted by the return spring 28, the piston descends until it is stopped by the finger 30 in the groove 31 when the latter is in b.
  • Qd the disengagement rate of the needle of the nozzle.
  • the finger 30 is maintained at b. This will be the case in drilling with a flow Qf. If on the other hand, it stops circulating, the action of the spring 28 becomes again preponderant, the needle 24 carried by the piston 23 rises in the nozzle and the finger 30 follows the arrow 33 to be located at c.
  • the position of the device is identical to FIG. 2 except for the position of the finger 30 in the groove 31.
  • Figure 4 shows the device in this position where the finger 30 is at d of Figure 4A.
  • the sliding of the needle-piston assembly is shorter due to the position of point d in the groove.
  • the actuation will be obtained by the translation of the shaft 17 coupling the nozzle 20 with actuation means.

  • FIG. 5 represents the evolution of the differential pressure on either side of the device, as a function of time and relative to FIG. 5A which represents the circulation flow regime at the same time.
  • FIG. 6 represents the evolution of the differential pressure on either side of the device, as a function of time and relative to FIG. 6A which represents the flow rate regime at the same time.
  • the two figures relate to the device when at time zero and at zero flow rate, the finger 30 is in position c.
  • the flow is increased to Qd in order to disengage the needle and visualize the pressure drop dp1.
  • the flow is increased to Qa, less than Qf.
  • the pressure drop created causes the nozzle 20 to slide.
