Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to wellbore lock systems and to methods and apparatus for their use in tubular members disposed within a wellbore; and more particularly relates to such wellbore lock systems of a design particularly useful in relatively large or "full bore” applications.
- locks are run into the wellbore on either wireline or slickline.
- the lock configuration provide minimal drag against the tubular string as the lock is inserted within the string. It is also desirable that the lock be capable of being set relatively simply, and therefore relatively inexpensively.
- the present invention provides a new lock system and method of its use which includes a lock which includes selectively radially extendable engagement members, and radially expandable sealing elements, thereby facilitating optimal use of the lock in full bore environments.
- a lock which comprises a housing assembly; an actuation assembly operatively associated with said housing assembly and movable in relation to said housing assembly; at least one engagement member coupled to said housing assembly, said engagement member being movable from a first position wherein said engagement member is substantially radially retracted relative to said housing assembly, to a second position wherein said engagement member is operatively extended relative to said housing assembly; and a sealing assembly coupled to said housing assembly, said sealing assembly comprising an expandable seal element and an expandable backup member, said seal element and backup member each having an interior surface, said seal element operatively associated with said actuation assembly to facilitate radial expansion of said interior surfaces of said seal element and said backup member upon predetermined movement of said actuation assembly.
- a lock assembly adapted to traverse an assembly of tubular members disposed in a wellbore and to selectively engage a profile including recesses installed within said tubular member assembly
- lock assembly comprises a housing assembly; an actuation assembly operatively coupled to said housing assembly in longitudinally movable relation thereto; a plurality of engagement members operatively coupled to said housing assembly, said engagement members movable from a first position wherein said engagement members are substantially radially retracted relative to said housing assembly and facilitate traversal of said lock through said tubular member assembly, to a second position wherein said engagement members are operatively extended relative to said housing assembly to operatively engage said recesses in said profile; an annular seal element operatively associated with said housing and said actuation assembly, said annular seal element movable from a first condition wherein the exterior diameter of said seal element facilitates the traversal of said lock through said tubular member assembly, to a second condition wherein the exterior diameter of said seal element is expanded to sealingly engage
- the actuation assembly will be, at least in part, longitudinally movable relative to the housing assembly, and will extend at least partially therein.
- the lock includes at least one engagement member operatively coupled to the housing assembly which is movable from a first position, which is relatively radially retracted relative to the housing, to a second position, where the engagement member is relatively radially extended relative to the housing assembly.
- the first position facilitates the movement of the lock assembly through a tubular string while minimizing dragging against the interior sidewalls of the string, while the second, relatively radially extended, position allows the lock to selectively mechanically engage a profile within the tubular string to facilitate mechanically securing the lock in position.
- the lock assembly also includes a sealing assembly which includes a seal element which is operated by expanding the internal diameter of the seal element, resulting in expansion of the external diameter.
- expansion will be accomplished through use of an actuation sleeve which includes a first section having a first diameter, and a second position having a second, larger diameter.
- the first, relatively smaller, diameter of the actuation sleeve in an unactuated position, will radially underlie the seal element, and allow the seal element to remain in a relatively relaxed, and therefore unexpanded, state.
- the lock will include a sealing assembly which includes not only at least one expandable seal element, but also may involve one or more expandable backup member generally adjacent to the seal element and formed of a material adequate to prevent undesirable extrusion of the seal element. This backup material may also be incorporated into this seal element as a one piece sub assembly.
- the invention further contemplates the use of a lock assembly having more than one seal elements in longitudinally spaced relation to one another, and adapted to engage a nipple having a control line inlet therein.
- the spaced seal elements preferably lie on opposed sides of the port, and thereby facilitate fluid communication between a control line and the interior of the lock assembly.
- the lock will be coupled to a surface controlled, flow control device, such as, for example, a subsurface safety valve, thereby facilitating control of the flow control device through lock 10.
- Figs. 1A-B depict one exemplary embodiment of lock in accordance with the present invention, illustrated in an operative attachment to an exemplary running tool, and disposed within a tubular string including a nipple.
- Figs. 2A-B depict the latch member actuation portion in varying stages of actuation; depicted in Fig. 2A with latch members 24 in a "locating" position; and depicted in Fig. 2B in a locked position.

- Figs. 7A-B depict the backup ring of Fig. 6 installed in an operational relation on a lock; depicted in Fig. 7A in an unexpanded state; and depicted in Fig. 7B in an expanded state.
- Figs. 8A-D depict an alternative embodiment of a lock in accordance with the present invention, depicted in a combination with a subsurface safety valve forming an equipment string in accordance with the present invention.
- Fig. 9 depicts an alternative embodiment of a dual sealing arrangement in accordance with the present invention.
- Lock 10 is depicted coupled to an exemplary running tool 100 in an exemplary operating application.
- Lock 10 and running tool 100 are depicted within a casing string 11 including a nipple 120.
- Lock 10 includes a mandrel assembly, indicated generally at 12, a housing 14, and a lower sub 16.
- Mandrel assembly 12 includes a coupling sub 18 which is threadably coupled at 20 to an internal mandrel 22.
- Mandrel assembly 12 extends generally coaxially with, and partially within, housing 14.
- the plurality of engagement members such as latching members (or “dogs") 24 are each retained at least partially within a respective aperture 25 in housing 14.
- Each latch member 24 is retained in an operative relation relative to the remainder of lock 10 by an actuation spring 26 and actuation sleeve 28.
- Actuation sleeve 28 extends generally concentrically relative to internal mandrel 22, and in slidable relation thereto.
- Actuation sleeve 28 includes a first portion of a first diameter 29 and a second portion of a second larger diameter 31.
- a shoulder 33 is formed at the transition between the first and second portions.
- Actuation sleeve 28 further includes a plurality of longitudinal grooves 35, each in registry with a respective latch member 24, with each groove 35 having a bottom surface configured to form a radially extending detent portion 30 proximate its lower end.
- Actuation sleeve 28 further includes a generally annular recess 32 which is engageable with an external locating shoulder 34 formed on internal mandrel 22.
- Each actuation spring 26 includes a retaining tab 36 which engages a recess 38 in housing 14. Each actuation spring 26 then includes a central "dog leg” portion, indicated generally at 40, including two bends 42 and 44, forming an actuation surface shoulder 46. Each actuation spring 26 terminates in an extension 48 which extends into a central aperture 50 of each latch member 24, and which is engageable with a generally radially inward tab 52 and a relatively radially outward shoulder 54. The interaction of extension 48 with tab 52 and shoulder 54 allows actuation spring 26 to selectively urge latch member 24 radially outwardly, as will be described later herein, and also to retain latch member 24 in an operative relation relative to housing 14.
- Inner sleeve 54 is threadably coupled at 56 to housing 14.
- Inner sleeve 54 has a generally upwardly extending annular portion 58 which includes a longitudinal groove 60 therein.
- a generally lower portion 62 of inner sleeve 54 defines a portion of the internal bore through lock 10.
- Lower sub 16 is threadably coupled at 64 to inner sleeve 54, and includes an upwardly extending annular portion 66 which cooperates with housing 14 to define a sealing assembly retention recess, indicated generally at 68.
- Housing 14, inner sleeve 54, and lower sub 16 also cooperatively define an annular chamber 70.
- a packing element actuation sleeve 72 is slidably retained within chamber 70.
- Packing element actuation sleeve 72 includes a longitudinal recess 74 which engages an actuation lug 76 coupled to inner mandrel 22, and extending through longitudinal groove 60 in upper portion 58 of inner sleeve 62.
- Packing element retention recess 68 is an annular gap, which facilitates the placement of a packing assembly, indicated generally at 78, around packer element actuation sleeve 72.
- packing element assembly 78 will include a generally annular elastomeric seal element 80, with a solid, but radially expandable backup ring 82 on each side of elastomeric seal element 80 in recess 68.
- elastomeric seal element 80 will be a nitrile element, of approximately 80-90 durometer.
- each backup ring 82 will be a solid, but expandable, element, such as may be formed of unfilled virgin polyetheretherketone ("PEEK").
- PEEK unfilled virgin polyetheretherketone
- Packing element actuation sleeve 72 includes an annular recess 74 which, in a first, unactuated, position will underlie the elements of packing element assembly 78. Also in such first position, a seal surface 86 will underlie and sealingly engage a conventional O-ring seal 88a on annular extension 66 of lower sub 16. Similarly, a conventional O-ring seal 88b will sealingly engage the external surface of packing element actuation sleeve 72.
- Lock 10 will be designed to be placed within casing (or another tubular member), having an internal diameter of 2.992 inches. In such application, a profile 122 will preferably have a seal surface diameter of 2.875 inches (the landing nipple inside diameter seal bore).
- housing 14 of lock 10 will preferably have an external diameter of approximately 2.83 inches.
- backup rings 82 will each have a nominal internal nonexpanded diameter of approximately 2.310 inches and a nominal external diameter of approximately 2.790.
- Elastomeric seal element 80 will preferably have a nominal internal diameter of approximately 2.250, and a nominal external diameter of approximately 2.810.
- Annular recess 84 preferably has a diameter of approximately 2.265 inch, or .117 inch smaller than the outer diameter of the remainder of packing element actuation sleeve 72.
- running tool 100 of a type suitable for use in placing lock 10 within a well.
- Running tool 100 will preferably be of a conventional design such as the model R running tool manufactured by OTIS Engineering Corporation of Dallas, Texas. The use of the model R running tool is familiar to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the structure and operation of running tool 100 will be described here only briefly.
- Running tool 100 includes a central mandrel assembly 102 telescopingly retained relative to a housing 104. Central mandrel assembly 102 is coupled through a shear pin 106, to inner sleeve 54 of lock 10. Running tool 100 also includes a plurality of nipple locating members 110 which will engage a lower shoulder of a nipple, but will retract into recesses 108 of mandrel assembly 102 upon relative movement of central mandrel assembly 102 relative to housing assembly 104.
- nipple locator members 110 will engage a locating shoulder 121 of nipple 120. Further upward movement applied through the running tool 100, through central mandrel 102, will act through shear pin 106 to exert a generally upward pull on lower sub 16, inner sleeve 62 and housing 14.
- these components, as well as packing element actuation sleeve 72, actuation spring 26 and latch members 24 will move upwardly relative to inner mandrel 22 and particularly relative to detente portion 30 of actuation sleeve 28.
- This movement will preferably be relatively short, on the order of .375 inch.
- This movement biases extension 48 of actuation spring 26 relatively outwardly, thereby biasing latch members 24 to a radially outward, but spring biased, position, as depicted in Figs. 2B and 3A-B.
- nipple locator members will retract into recesses 108 in mandrel assembly 102 and facilitate movement of running tool 100 and lock 10 upwardly through nipple 120.
- latch members 24 of lock 10 will retract to enter nipple 120, but are spring biased outwardly, and will extend to engage complimentary recesses 127 formed in nipple profile 122.
- Latch members 124 and nipple profile 122 preferably have complimentary tapered surfaces 124 which facilitate upward movement of latch members 24 through nipple profile 122, but which resist downward movement.
- nipple profile 122 includes two longitudinally spaced shoulders which extend generally perpendicularly relative to the longitudinal axis of nipple profile 122.
- This expansion facilitates establishing of a sealing engagement between elastomeric seal element 80 and nipple 120, with backup rings 82 being similarly expanded to avoid extrusion of elastomeric seal element 80.
- the movement of packing element actuation sleeve 72 concentrically to inner sleeve 54 facilitates inner sleeve 54 providing structural support for actuation sleeve 72 as it serves to expand packing element assembly 78. This support facilitates actuation sleeve 72 being formed as a relatively thin annular component.
- Backup ring 140 may be utilized in place of either or both of backup rings 82, formed of PEEK, as described earlier herein.
- Backup ring 140 is a solid ring having a circumferentially tapered (or "scarf") cut 142 therein.
- Backup ring 140 is formed such that in an unexpanded condition, as depicted in Figs. 6C-D, relative ends 144 and 146 on either side of tapered cut 142 will overlap, thereby establishing a reduced diameter state of backup ring 140.
- Tapered cut 142 is oriented to facilitate ends 144 and 146 moving toward an adjacent, overlapping, relation when ring 140 is not subjected to an expanding force.
- Backup ring 140 is also formed such that when in an expanded condition, both the internal and external diameters, 147 and 148, respectively are, or closely approximate, perfect circular shapes. Such conformity assures that in an operating environment, backup ring 140 will establish a uniform backup surface for an associated elastomeric seal (element 80 in Fig. 1).
- a reduced diameter portion 150 of an actuation sleeve 152 allows ends 144 and 146 to overlap. Expansion of backup ring 140 around a larger diameter section 152 causes backup ring 140 to assume a planar, circular, shape.
- backup ring 140 also contemplates a method of constructing backup ring 140.
- an exemplary backup ring will be described which is constructed to have a final outer diameter in a relaxed state of approximately 2.80 inches, and an outer diameter in an expanded state of approximately 2.865 inches.
- Ring 140 in this embodiment will have an internal diameter in an expanded state of approximately 2.379 inch, and a thickness of approximately .010 inch.
- Backup ring 140 may be formed of any appropriate material having a suitably low modulus of elasticity.
- backup ring 140 will be formed of titanium, because of both its relatively low modulus of elasticity, and its suitability for use in hydrogen sulfide (H2S) environments.
- H2S hydrogen sulfide
- ring 140 will be machined with a slightly oversized outer diameter and a slightly undersized internal diameter.
- tapered cut 142 will be made into solid ring, typically removing approximately .032 inch of material.
- the ring will be generally uniformly compressed such that the external diameter decreases. This compression will induce permanent deformation in the ring.
- the ring may be expanded to where relative ends 144 and 146 are engaged, and ring 40 forms a continuous annular member.
- the outer diameters and interior diameters will then preferably be machined to finish diameters.
- FIG. 8A-D therein is depicted an alternative embodiment of a lock and full bore nipple in accordance with the present invention, and incorporated in a system with a surface controlled subsurface safety valve, in an exemplary configuration also in accordance with the present invention.
- a surface controlled subsurface safety valve which are operated through use of a hydraulic control line extending to the surface has long presented a problem to the use of full bore nipples.
- the complexity of providing a hydraulic fluid passage from the surface, into the tubular member and subsequently to the safety valve has required relatively restricted nipple configurations.
- Figs. 8A-D depict a full bore nipple and lock design, indicated generally at 160, in combination with a subsurface safety valve, indicated generally at 162.
- Nipple 163 includes a seal bore 165 and a recessed profile 167. Seal bore 165 is in fluid communication with a central fluid passage 167, which is coupled in a conventional matter to a control line 169. Fluid to control the subsurface safety valve will be applied through control line 169 in a manner known to those skilled in the art.
- Lock assembly 164 operates in a manner similar to that described relative to lock 10. The portion of lock 164 above actuation lug 76 is preferably essentially identical to that as described relative to lock 10. Elements of lock 164 which are essentially identical to those described relative to lock 10 have been numbered similarly, and elements which are functionally similar though possibly of a slightly different configuration have been indicated with primes. As can be seen in Fig.
- lock assembly does not include a lower sub 16, but includes a coupling sub 166 which facilitates coupling of lock 164 to subsurface safety valve assembly 162.
- Coupling sub 166, housing 14, and inner sleeve 62' cooperatively define an annular passage 70' within which packing element actuation sleeve 172 may move.
- Coupling sub 166 and housing 14 cooperatively define a packing element retention recess 68' housing packing element assembly 168.
- Packing element assembly 168 includes two seal assemblies 78a, 78b, each of which may be essentially identical to seal assembly 78 of lock 10. Seal assemblies 78a, 78b are separated in spaced relation by a ported spacer ring 170, including, preferably, a plurality of ports 172 therethrough.
- ported spacer ring will be formed of virgin PEEK, as are backup rings 162.
- packer actuation sleeve 172 includes two recesses 174, 176 which will underlie a respective seal assembly 78a, 78b when lock 164 is in an unactuated position, but which will be longitudinally offset from the respective seal assembly 78a, 78b, when lock 164 is set within nipple 163, as depicted in Figs. 8A-D.
- packing element actuation sleeve 172 includes a port 178 proximate recess 174.
- port 178 provides fluid communication between control line 169 and control fluid passage 167 to an internal chamber 180.
- Coupling sub 166 preferably includes at least one fluid passage 182 which is in fluid communication with chamber 180.
- This fluid passage then communicates with pressure chamber 174 in subsurface safety valve 162 to facilitate selective operation of piston sleeve 176 to operate safety valve 162 in a conventional manner.
- piston sleeve 176 is maintained in a relatively downward position where it retains flapper valve 184 in an open position, as depicted in Fig. 8B. If fluid pressure is not applied to maintain piston sleeve 176 in this position, return spring 188 will urge piston sleeve 176 upwardly, allowing flapper valve 184 to close.
- Subsurface safety valve 162 as depicted herein may be substantially a Series 10 surface controlled subsurface safety valve, as manufactured by Otis Engineering Corporation of Dallas, Texas. The operation of such subsurface safety valves is well known in the art.
- the specification of U.S. Patent No. 4,834,183, issued May 30, 1989, to Michael B. Vizant, Craig D. Hines, Rennie L. Dickson, and Robert C. Hammett, and assigned to Otis Engineering is hereby incorporated herein by reference, as an exemplary description of the structure and operation of such a subsurface safety valve It should be clearly understood that safety valve 162 is merely one of many types of safety valves or other surface controlled flow control devices known to the art and suitable for use in accordance with the present invention.
- sealing arrangement 190 for a lock establishing a flow path with a ported nipple.
- Sealing arrangement 190 is similar to that depicted relative to lock 164. However, sealing arrangement 190 has been modified to shorten the length of the sealing assembly, thereby facilitating the use of a packing element actuation sleeve 192 having a single recess 194.
- Sealing configuration 190 includes a packing element assembly 193 including a central ported backup ring 196, with an elastomeric seal element 80 on each side thereof, and with a backup ring 82 at each end.
- Ported backup ring 170 may be formed similarly to backup rings 82, with the exception that ported space of ring will preferably have an axial dimension of approximately 0.5 inch.
- ported backup ring 196 will be formed of virgin PEEK, as are backup rings 82.
- the operation of sealing configuration 190 is similar to that previously described relative to lock 10 and lock assembly 164.
