Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system including a conduit having a longitudinal axis, and a device which is radially expandable relative to the conduit from a retracted mode whereby the device is radially spaced from the conduit, to an expanded mode whereby the device is radially expanded against the conduit.
- Systems of this kind are used, for example, in the industry of hydrocarbon production from the earth formation whereby expandable devices such as expandable packers or expandable anchors are applied in wellbore tubulars. A problem frequently occurring in such applications relates to the generally contradicting operational requirements for the expandable devices.
- the device in the retracted mode the device must be freely movable relative to the conduit in order to install the device at the desired location, and in the expanded mode the device must provide sufficient axial holding power (for e.g. wellbore packers) or sealing capacity (for wellbore seals). The problem is even more pronounced for applications in which the device is to be installed at remote locations.
- a system according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from US patent No. 5,215,145.
- a wedge-shaped sealing member is actuated by a shape memory metal element to deform from a contracted into an expanded shape.
- US patent No. 5,253,705 discloses another expandable packer assembly.
- the spacing between the device and the conduit allows axial movement of the device relative to the conduit during installation of the device.
- the memory metal element transforms from the first shape to the second shape and thereby expands the device from the retracted mode to the expanded mode.
- no complicated remote controlled expansion equipment is needed to expand the device, only a heating or cooling source is applied.
- the memory metal element is capable of providing a large force upon transformation so that adequate holding power can be achieved and/or, when the device and the conduit are made of metal, a reliable metal-to-metal seal is achieved by the expansion of the device against the conduit.
- the system further includes a branched wellbore system formed in an earth formation, the branched wellbore system comprising a main wellbore provided with a main casing, a branch wellbore provided with a branch casing, and a casing junction member having a main bore and a branch bore in fluid communication with the main bore, the main bore being an extension of the main casing, the branch bore being an extension of the branch casing, and wherein said inner conduit is formed by the branch casing and the outer conduit is formed by the branch bore.
- a branched wellbore system comprising a main wellbore provided with a main casing, a branch wellbore provided with a branch casing, and a casing junction member having a main bore and a branch bore in fluid communication with the main bore, the main bore being an extension of the main casing, the branch bore being an extension of the branch casing, and wherein said inner conduit is formed by the branch casing and the outer conduit is formed by the branch bore.
- US patent No. 5,318,122 discloses a Y-shaped casing junction member which connects a casing of a main wellbore to a liner installed in a branch wellbore, the casing junction member having a branch member into which an end part of the liner extends with a seal between said end part and the branch member.
- a problem of the known system is that a reliable seal which is capable of withstanding the high wellbore pressures generally encountered, is not available. Therefore the known casing junction has to be positioned relatively deep in the main wellbore, i.e. in the reservoir zone or in the cap rock overlaying the reservoir zone, where the fluid pressure difference between the interior and the exterior of the casing is relatively low and where leaks are unimportant.
- the cap rock layer has sufficient low permeability to prevent migration of fluids from the reservoir zone to the overburden layer above the cap rock.
- the system according to the invention allows the casing junction member to be positioned anywhere, and preferably relatively high in the main wellbore, i.e. in the overburden layer.
- This is advantageous because the branch wellbore then starts deviating from the main wellbore relatively high in the earth formation so that, for a given maximum curvature of the branch wellbore, the lower end of the branch wellbore can be drilled to a larger horizontal distance from the main wellbore than in a conventional situation where the junction between the main wellbore and the branch wellbore is located in the reservoir zone or the cap rock layer.
- the junction between the main wellbore and the branch wellbore can be positioned in the overburden layer where the difference between the pore pressure in the overburden layer and the pressure of hydrocarbon fluid flowing through the wellbore system, is high.
- the sealing device in the expanded position thereof provides a metal-to-metal seal.
- a wellbore system 1 including a main wellbore 3 extending from a wellhead 5 at the earth surface 7 through an overburden layer 9 and a cap rock layer 11 to a reservoir zone 14 which contains a hydrocarbon fluid.
- the cap rock layer 11 is relatively tight and prevents migration of the high pressure hydrocarbon fluid from the reservoir zone 14 to the overburden layer 9.
- the main wellbore 3 is provided with a tubular steel main casing 16 which is fixed and sealed into the main wellbore 3 by a layer of cement 17 and which has an open lower end.
- a branch wellbore 18 extends from a wellbore junction 19 located in the overburden layer 9, through the overburden layer 9 and the cap rock layer 11, into the reservoir zone 14.
- the branch wellbore 18 is provided with a branch casing 20 having an open lower end and being connected to the main casing 16 by a casing junction member 22 in a sealing relationship therewith as described below.
- the casing junction member 22 is located at the wellbore junction 19, i.e. in the overburden layer 9.
- the branch casing 20 is sealed into the branch wellbore 18 by a layer of cement 24.
- the branch casing can be sealed in the branch wellbore by any suitable means such as by sealing packers.
- the casing junction member 22 has a tubular main bore 24 having longitudinal axis 24a, the main bore 24 being aligned with the main casing 16, and a tubular branch bore 26 having longitudinal axis 26a.
- the branch casing 20 extends into the branch bore 26 with an annular space 28 therebetween.
- An annular sealing device 30 is arranged in the space 28, which sealing device 30 is movable between a radially retracted mode and a radially expanded mode. In the retracted mode the sealing device is radially spaced from the branch bore 26 and from the branch casing 20 as shown in Fig. 2. In the expanded mode the sealing device 30 is expanded against the branch bore 26 and the branch casing 20 as shown in Fig. 3.
- the casing junction member 22 is a monolithic structure and has a generally circular transverse cross-section, as shown in Figs. 2A and 2B. Such structure and shape provide adequate collapse resistance to the casing junction member 22, which should not be less than the collapse resistance of the main casing 16.
- the sealing device 30 includes a metal annular body 34 having two sealing rings 36a, 36b and an annular wedge 38 which is arranged between the sealing rings 36a, 36b and is in operative relationship therewith so as to radially press sealing ring 36a against the branch bore 26 and sealing ring 36b against the branch casing 20 upon axial movement of the wedge 38 into the annular body 34.
- the contact surfaces between the wedge 38 and the sealing rings 36a, 36 b are serrated so that the wedge becomes locked to the sealing rings once such inward axial movement has occurred.
- a number of circumferentially spaced rods 40 extend through corresponding holes 41 provided in the wedge 38, each rod having a threaded end 40a connecting the rod to the annular body 34 and a T-shaped head 40b at the other end.
- the rods 40 are made of shape memory metal and assume an axially extended shape below a selected transition temperature and an axially retracted shape above the transition temperature. In the axially extended shape, the wedge 38 is in an initial position whereby sealing ring 36a is radially spaced from the surface of the branch bore 26 and sealing ring 36b is radially spaced from the outer surface of the branch casing 20.
- the wedge 38 is pulled by the rods between the sealing rings 36a, 36b whereby sealing ring 36a becomes pressed against the surface of the branch bore 26 and ring 36b against outer surface of the branch casing 20 so as to form a metal-to-metal seal between the branch bore 26 and the branch casing 20.
- Annular body 34 is connected to a lock nut 42 by a bearing 44 which allows rotation of the lock nut 42 relative to the body 34 about longitudinal axis 26a.
- Lock nut 42 is connected to the branch casing 20 by screw connection 46.
- Fig. 4 furthermore shows a locking and centralising assembly 48 arranged between the branch bore 26 and the branch casing 20, the assembly 48 including a self-expanding lock ring 50 which is supported on a shape memory metal actuator ring 52 which in turn is supported on a tapered landing ring 54.
- the landing ring 54 rests against an annular shoulder 55 provided at branch casing 20 and has an outer annular groove 56 in which a split actuator ring 58 of shape memory metal is arranged.
- the assembly 48 is retained between an annular retaining ring 60 and an annular shoulder 62 provided at the outer surface of the branch casing 20.
- the retaining ring 60 can be shrink fitted, screwed, snap fitted or welded to the branch casing 20.
- the actuator ring 52 assumes an axially retracted shape below a selected transition temperature and an axially extended shape above the transition temperature.
- the split actuator ring 58 assumes a radially retracted shape below the selected transition temperature and a radially extended shape above the transition temperature.
- An annular groove 64 is provided in the branch bore 26, into which the assembly 48 fits with some axial and radial clearance if the actuator rings 52, 58 are below their transition temperature. If the actuator rings 52, 58 are above their transition temperature the lock ring 50 is pressed against shoulder 62 by the axially expanded actuator ring 52, and the landing ring 54 is centralised in the branch bore 26 by the radially expanded actuator ring 58.
- the transition temperature of the actuator rings 52, 58 is selected slightly below the transition temperature of the rods 40.
- the main wellbore 3 is drilled and the main casing 16 with the casing junction member 22 incorporated therein is lowered and cemented into the main wellbore 3.
- the branch bore 26 is at the lower end thereof closed by a plug (not shown) which can be drilled out.
- a whipstock (not shown) is then positioned in the main casing 16 and casing junction member 22 so as to direct a drill string (not shown) into the branch bore 26.
- a removable wear bushing (not shown) is temporarily arranged in the branch bore 26 to prevent contact of the drill string with the surface of the branch bore 26.
- the drill string is then lowered through the main casing 16 and guided by the whipstock into the branch bore 26.
- the drill string is rotated to drill out the plug and to drill the branch wellbore 18.
- the wear bushing is removed from branch bore 26 and the branch casing 20 is lowered through the main casing 16 and guided by the whipstock (or by any other suitable guiding means) into the branch wellbore 18 until the self-expanding lock ring 50 latches into annular groove 64.
- the branch casing is supported by landing ring 54 and shoulder 55.
- the sealing device 30 is lowered through the main casing 16 and guided into branch bore 26 whereby the annular body 34 enters the annular space 28 until lock nut 42 arrives at the upper end of the branch casing 20.
- the lock nut 42 is then screwed to the branch casing using a suitable setting tool (not shown) whereby the bearing 44 allows the annular body 34 to be non-rotating while the lock nut is rotated.
- a suitable setting tool not shown
- a heating device (not shown) is lowered through the main casing 16 and guided into branch bore 26. Heat is transferred from the heating device to the shape memory metal elements 52, 58 and 40.
- actuator ring 52 expands axially and actuator ring 58 expands radially thereby axially locking and centralising branch casing 20 in branch bore 26.
- the rods 40 axially retract upon reaching their respective transition temperature and thereby pull wedge 38 between the sealing rings 36a, 36b whereby ring 36a becomes pressed against the surface of the branch bore 26 and ring 36b against the outer surface of the branch casing 20 so as to form a metal-to-metal seal between the branch bore 26 and the branch casing 20.
- the wedge 38 becomes locked to the rings 36a, 36b by virtue of the serrated contact surfaces between the wedge 38 and the rings 36a, 36b.
- the heating device is turned off and the temperature of the rods 40 drops below the transition temperature thereof, the rods axially expand through the respective holes 41 of wedge 38 while the wedge remains locked to the sealing rings.
- Cement is pumped between the branch casing 20 and the branch borehole 18 to form cement layer 24 which seals the branch casing in the branch borehole 18.
- the secondary conduit can be, for example, a hydrocarbon fluid production conduit for separate production of hydrocarbon fluid from the branch wellbore and main wellbore e.g. in case of a high fluid pressure difference between the main wellbore and the branch wellbore.
- the secondary conduit can be a service liner for guiding a wellbore tool from the earth surface into the branch wellbore, such as a drill string for further drilling of the branch wellbore.
- An advantage of the application of such service liner is that fluid production through the main wellbore is continued while wellbore operations in the branch wellbore are carried through the service liner which isolates such operations from the remainder of the main wellbore and any other branch wellbores thereof.
- the secondary conduit is preferably provided with a latching mechanism which latches into the branch bore.
- the branch casing can be provided in its upper end part with a flow control valve which is retrievable to surface by wireline or coiled tubing.
- the flow control valve controls the flow of hydrocarbon fluid through the branch casing and is operated by telemetry or by a selected property of the fluid under control.
- a safety valve can be installed in the far end part of the branch casing which operates by telemetry or by a property of the fluid under control, for example a selected fluid pressure difference across the safety valve.
- the flow control valve and the safety valve each have a reverse flow bypass which permits the reverse flow of fluids upon the occurrence of a selected reverse fluid pressure difference across the valve.
- these wellbores can produce from mutually spaced reservoir zones.
- the casing junction member being a monolithic structure, it can be assembled form separate parts. Further, the cross-sectional shape of the junction member can be elliptical or polygonal instead of circular.
- memory metal elements which are to be heated to reach the transition temperature
- memory metal elements can be applied which are to be cooled to reach their respective transition temperatures. In that case a cooling device is lowered into the wellbore system instead of a heating device.
