Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a stripper/packer, also referred to as a stuffing box.
- Packers are used in oil and gas wells for a number of purposes.
- One type of packer used in a stack at the wellhead to provide a seal for high downhole pressures is commonly referred to as a stuffing box and maybe referred to herein as a stuffing box and/or a stripper/packer.
- the stuffing box provides a seal so that various operations may be performed below the wellhead while safety is maintained above the wellhead.
- the packer or sealing element utilized in a stuffing box is made of a polymeric material that is deformed to seal against the tubing being injected and/or withdrawn from the wellbore through the stuffing box.
- One type of stuffing box utilizes a generally cylindrical sealing element having bushings thereabove and therebelow.
- An energizer will often be disposed about the sealing element.
- a piston will cause the bushings to move together, which will cause the energizer and the sealing element to compress so that the sealing element will seal against the tubing being injected and/or retracted from the wellbore.
- the bushings also prevent extrusion of the sealing element. If an energizer is not used, the bushings push directly on the sealing element to cause it to seal against the tubing.
- the sealing element is typically made of a pliable polymeric material, movement of the tubing through the stripper/packer causes abrasion of the surface of the sealing element requiring regular replacement of the element. Replacement of such elements can be expensive and dangerous since the sealing elements must be changed on the well without being uncoupled from the stack at the wellhead.
- the stuffing box shown therein is a side-access stuffing box which is particularly adapted for use with coiled tubing and which provides for easier replacement of worn packer elements. Although replacement of the packer elements in the side-access stripper/packer is easier than with other types of stuffing boxes, there are still some difficulties associated with the use of such a stripper/packer, especially at locations where the wellbore pressure is at about 5,000 psi or higher.
- the packer or sealing element utilized in the side-access stuffing box is generally a polyurethane which, as is well known in the art, is a pliable plastic.
- the stripper/packer described in the '753 patent is utilized in locations where the wellbore pressure is about or exceeds 5,000 psi, the polyurethane packer elements abrade and wear at an unacceptable rate. This causes leakage, and requires that the packer element be replaced. Further, the worn elements may blow out releasing large quantities of well fluid and very high pressures which can be dangerous to workers at the site. Constant replacement is time-consuming and can be expensive.
- the pressure must be isolated below the stripper/packer with other apparatus in the stack, such as blowout preventers. Further, each time a seal fails, the safety of the workers is placed at risk.
- the present invention comprises a stripper/packer that provides for extended stripping of tubing in and/or out of a wellbore.
- the stripper/packer of the present invention provides for such extended usage without the need for the repetitive placement of sealing elements, since the sealing elements utilized in the stripper/packer of the present invention are comprised of material that alleviates, and can virtually eliminate, failures and/or blowout of the sealing element.
- the invention provides a stripper/packer for sealing against tubing as it is moved therethrough in and out of a wellbore, the stripper/packer comprising: a body having a longitudinal central opening therethrough, said body defining a pair of opposed lateral chambers intersecting said longitudinal central opening; a pusher plate slidably disposed in each lateral chamber; a sealing element connected to each pusher plate for sealingly engaging a cylindrical tubing disposed in said longitudinal central opening, said sealing elements being comprised of an ultra-high molecular weight plastic; and actuator means for moving said pusher plates and said sealing elements laterally between a disengaged position and an engaged position, wherein in said engaged position said sealing elements engage and seal against said tubing.
- the invention provides a stripper/packer for use in high pressure wellbores, said stripper/packer comprising: a body having a longitudinal opening therethrough, for receiving a cylindrical tubing therethrough; and a non-pliable sealing element disposed in said body; wherein said sealing element is selectively movable between a closed position wherein said sealing element sealingly engages said cylindrical tubing, and an open position wherein said sealing element disengages said cylindrical tubing, wherein said sealing element will maintain a seal with said cylindrical tubing as said tubing is being injected or withdrawn from a wellbore through said stripper/packer.
- the stripper/packer of the present invention includes packer elements comprised of an ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) plastic.
- the packer elements are urged against a tubing being moved through the stripper/packer to isolate wellbore pressure therebelow.
- the stripper/packer may comprise a body having a longitudinal central opening and a pair of opposed lateral chambers intersecting the longitudinal central opening.
- the sealing elements are connected to pressure plates slidably disposed in each lateral chamber. The pressure plates are urged laterally from a disengaged position to an engaged position wherein the UHMW sealing elements engage and seal against the tubing being moved through the stripper/packer.
- the UHMW sealing elements are non-pliable and preferably have a hardness of about 60 Durometer ("D") to 80 D.
- Strippers/packers utilizing UHMW sealing elements may be utilized at any well location, and are especially useful at locations where the wellbore pressure is approximately 5,000 psi or higher. At such locations, the stripper/packer utilizing such sealing elements is preferred since several thousand feet of tubing can be moved through the stuffing box in or out of the wellbore and the sealing elements will not fail, rupture or cause a blowout like prior art sealing elements.
- strippers/packers utilizing UHMW sealing elements provide distinct advantages over the prior art.
- Fig. 1 depicts a typical stack 10 that may be used at a wellhead.
- the stack may include a stuffing box 14, a standard quad blowout preventer 16 and blowout preventer 18 above wellhead 12.

- Seal assembly 170 is movable between closed and open positions 230 and 232.
- the packer is actuated, or energized and moved to closed position 230 through energizing ports 106 and 110, to cause pistons 142 and 144 to move toward tubing 22 so that opposed seal elements 174 seal against tubing 22.
- Elements 174 are released or moved to open position 232 by the application of pressure through packoff ports 108 and 112.
- Sealing elements 176 of the present invention are preferably comprised of a non-pliable material and are more preferably comprised of an ultra-high molecular weight (“UHMW”) plastic material.
- UHMW material has a hardness of about 60 Durometer (“D") to 80 D, and more preferably a hardness of about 65 D to 75 D. The most preferred material will have a hardness of about 72 D. Material hardnesses are based on measurements utilizing ASTM Method 02240. Although any UHMW material falling within the foregoing hardnesses may be utilized with the present invention, UHMW polyethylene is the preferred material.
- Energizers 174 are preferably comprised of a pliable polyurethane. It is also preferred that upper and lower caps 192 and 194 are comprised of polyurethane.
- Anti-extrusion ring 196 is preferably a brass anti-extrusion ring. Anti-extrusion ring 196 and caps 192 and 194 may be bonded to main body 193 of the energizer 174 in any manner known in the art.
- the stuffing box of the present invention is an advance over prior art stuffing boxes in that seal elements 174 will maintain an adequate sealing engagement with tubing 22 not only at low pressures, but also at high pressure applications, namely any application where the wellbore pressure is 5,000 psi or above, as tubing 22 is injected into or withdrawn from a wellbore through the stuffing box.
- This is a major advance over prior art stuffing boxes since prior art sealing elements often fail and/or blow out at such pressures, which not only causes the loss of time due to the necessity of replacing the seals but also can cause damage to equipment and/or personal injury.
- Prior art sealing elements are typically a pliable polyurethane having a hardness of about 30 D to 50 D.
- Such polyurethane sealing elements are not capable of maintaining a seal with any kind of reliable integrity at high pressures (i.e., above 5000 psi) as cylindrical tubing is moved in and out of the well therethrough.
- high pressures i.e., above 5000 psi
- the stuffing box configured as described herein, utilized polyurethane sealing elements. After 4,000 feet of tubing was lowered into the test well, the direction of the tubing was reversed, and soon thereafter the element failed, resulting in a blowout. The elements were completely destroyed and only small pieces of the elements could be found.
- a 20,000-foot well with up to 10,000 psi wellbore pressure could be serviced without the need for stopping or changing the sealing elements or energizers.
- This is a major advance in tubing services.
- the stuffing box of the present invention may be utilized in all wells, it is most useful in wells having wellhead pressures of 5,000 or more, and its primary application is that wells having ultra-high pressures (i.e., those exceeding about 10,000 psi).
- FIG. 11 shows a stuffing box, or stripper/packer 250 utilizing a UHMW sealing element wherein pressure is applied to the top and bottom of the energizer and sealing element to cause the sealing element to compress around a tubing.
- the configuration of stripper/packer 250 is a conventional stripper/packer and is known. However, the use of UHMW sealings in such a configuration is new.
- Stripper/packer 250 includes a body 252 comprised of a top sub 254 and a bottom sub 256. Body 252 has a piston 258 slidably disposed therein. Stripper/packer 250 also includes a lower bushing 260 and an upper bushing 262. A tapered bushing 264 is positioned above upper bushing 262 which is held in place by a slip bowl 266 threaded to the upper end of body 250. An energizer 268 having an upper end 270 and a lower end 272 is disposed in body 250 between upper and lower bushings 260 and 262. A sealing element 274, comprising a non-pliable sealing element which is preferably a UHMW sealing element having the material properties hereinbefore described, is disposed in energizer 268.
- Sealing element 274 has an upper end 276 and a lower end 278.
- a non-extrusion ring 280 is disposed between the upper ends of the energizer and sealing element and upper bushing 262.
- Piston 258 is operated by pressurization of packoff port 282 and release port 284.
- packoff port 282 urges piston 258 upwardly which presses lower bushing 260 upwardly to squeeze energizer 268, which is preferably a urethane energizer, and sealing element 274, which is preferably a UHMW sealing element, so that sealing element 274 is compressed against tubular member 282 which may be coiled tubing or other tubing disposed in the wellbore.
- energizer 268, which is preferably a urethane energizer and sealing element 274, which is preferably a UHMW sealing element, so that sealing element 274 is compressed against tubular member 282 which may be coiled tubing or other tubing disposed in the wellbore.
- UHMW sealing elements may be utilized with strippers/packers as described with reference to FIGS. 2-10 or with strippers/packers wherein pressure is applied to the top and the bottom thereof to compress the sealing element so that it seals against a tubing.
- UHMW elements have been used in the past in snubbing and/or hydraulic workover (HWO) applications, it had not been previously believed that non-pliable materials such as UHMW elements could be utilized in a stripper/packer.
- UHMW elements are used as inserts in blowout preventer pipe rams as jointed pipe is urged therethrough.
- blowout preventer pipe rams typically, there will be at least an upper and lower set of blowout preventers, both of which include pipe rams that urge the UHMW elements into sealing engagement with the jointed tubing.
- the upper pipe ram will close and the lower pipe ram will open so that the joint can pass therethrough.
- the sealing elements utilized in stuffing boxes are typically at least three and one-half inches in length.
- the distance from the upper end 207 to the lower end 209 of sealing elements 176 shown in FIG. 8 is at least three and one-half inches long and is preferably four to five inches long.
- the distance between upper end 276 and lower end 278 of sealing element 274 is at least three and one-half inches and is preferably four to five inches.
- the element in the stripper/packer must seal against the tubing as tubing is continuously stripped therethrough, as opposed to the "stop-and-go" snubbing operation.
- UHMW elements having the necessary dimensions for use as sealing elements in stripper/packers would provide for an adequate seal against tubing being continuously stripped therethrough.
- non-pliable materials such as UHMW plastic, specifically UHMW polyethylene, are useful as sealing elements in strippers/packers and such elements provide an effective seal that will maintain its integrity for an extended period of time as tubing is continuously stripped therethrough at locations where high and ultra-high pressure exists in the wellbore.
