Definitions
- the present invention relates to a fluid operated pump for use in a wellbore.
- Oil and gas wells include a wellbore formed in the earth to access hydrocarbon-bearing formations.
- a borehole is initially formed and thereafter the borehole is lined with steel pipe, or casing in order to prevent cave in and facilitate the isolation of portions of the wellbore.
- steel pipe, or casing is lined with steel pipe, or casing in order to prevent cave in and facilitate the isolation of portions of the wellbore.
- at least one area of the wellbore casing is perforated to form a fluid path for the hydrocarbons to enter the wellbore.
- natural formation pressure is adequate to bring production fluid to the surface for collection. More commonly however, some form of artificial lift is necessary to retrieve the fluid.
- FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a wellbore with a gas operated pump disposed therein.
- the pump 30 is located adjacent perforations in the wellbore 10.
- the pump operates with pressured gas injected from a high pressure gas vessel 24 into a gas supply line 80 to a valve assembly 40 disposed in a body of the pump 30.
- the valve assembly 40 consists of an injection control valve 70 for controlling the input of gas into an accumulation chamber 34 and a vent control valve 90 for controlling the venting of valve assemblies for a gas operated pump have an internal bypass passageway 32 for injecting gas out of the chamber.
- the internal bypass passageway 32 must be a large enough diameter to facilitate a correct amount of gas flow from the chamber. These internal structures necessarily make the valve large and bulky. A bulky valve assembly is difficult to insert in a downhole pump because of space limitations in a wellbore and in a pump housing.
- US Patent 2336683 Hatfield discloses a method and apparatus for pumping well fluid from a well utilising gas as the lifting medium.
- a valve assembly is insertable on the end of a macaroni through well tubing into a seating member, and the valve assembly is then actuable by a weight bar that is lowered through the macaroni on the end of a wireline.
- a fluid operated pump for use in a wellbore, the pump comprising a housing with at least one longitudinal bore therethrough; a first fluid path formed in the housing and opening at a port into the bore for communicating a pressurized fluid from the bore to an area below the housing; and a second fluid path formed in the housing and opening at a port into the bore for communicating an exhaust fluid from an area below the housing to the exterior of the housing; characterised by a removable valve assembly axially insertable into the bore of the housing and having ports that are constructed and arranged in an outer cylindrical valve surface to communicate with the first and second fluid paths by way of the ports opening into the cylindrical bore when the valve assembly is inserted into the bore and to selectively direct the pressurized fluid and the exhaust fluid along the first and second fluid paths; respective fluid actuating control conduits for communicating motive fluid to the valve assembly within the bore, and control valve means, actuable by the motive fluid from the control conduits, within the valve assembly for supplying (i) pressurized fluid along the first fluid path in
- Such a pump with a removable valve assembly and with fluid actuating control conduits for communicating motive fluid to operate the valve assembly within the bore enables particularly efficient operation of the valve assembly, whilst enabling an internal bypass passageway to be dispensed with so that the valve assembly is less bulky.
- the invention also provides a method of operating a fluid operated pump within a wellbore, the method utilizing a removable valve assembly within a cylindrical bore in a housing of the pump, wherein a first fluid path in the housing opening at a port into the bore is provided for supply of pressurized fluid from the bore to an area of the pump below the housing, and a second fluid path in the housing opening at a port into the bore is provided for exhaust fluid from an area below the housing to the exterior of the housing, the method comprising lowering the valve assembly to a location in the wellbore proximate the bore in the housing; and aligning the valve assembly with the bore; characterised by the steps of axially inserting the valve assembly into the bore such that ports in an outer cylindrical valve surface communicate with the first and second fluid paths by way of ports opening into the cylindrical bore to selectively direct the pressurized fluid and the exhaust fluid along the first and second fluid paths; sealingly retaining the valve assembly in the bore during pumping of fluid by the pump; and actuating control valve means within the valve assembly, by motive fluid
- FIG. 2 is a sectional view through a housing 200 of a gas operated pump in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- the housing 200 includes two longitudinal bores 215, 225 as well as a number of internally formed motive fluid paths to operate a valve and to direct gas through the pump. More particularly the housing 200 includes an internally threaded portion 205 at its upper end for connection to a string of tubulars (not shown) and an externally threaded portion 210 at its lower end for connection to an accumulator chamber (not shown).
- the housing 200 has a first longitudinal bore 215 therethrough having an internally threaded portion 220 at its lower end for connection to a diptube (not shown). In use, the bore 215 serves as a conduit for production fluid pumped towards the surface of the well.
- the housing 200 also has a second longitudinal bore 225.
- An aperture 235 formed in a wall of the housing 200 provides communication between the second longitudinal bore 225 and the exterior of the housing 200.
- a third bore 230 provides communication between an injection port 250 in the wall of the second longitudinal bore 225 and the lower end of the housing 200 for injection of pressurized gas into the accumulation chamber (not shown).
- the second longitudinal bore 225 further includes a first profile 240 and a second profile 245 formed within the bore 225 to receive a removable valve assembly (not shown) that is insertable in the upper end 255 of bore 225.
- the profiles 240, 245 are continuous grooves and are formed to permit mating formations of the valve assembly to mate therewith as will be more fully described herebelow.
- FIG 3 illustrates the removable valve assembly 300 disposed on the end of a coiled tubing string 325 for insertion into the housing 200 of Figure 2 .
- the removable valve assembly 300 includes an inlet control valve 305, a vent control valve 310, a valve stem 315 and an actuator 320.
- the valve stem 315 is connected to both the inlet control valve 305 and the vent control valve 310.
- the actuator 320 moves the valve stem 315, alternatively opening and closing the inlet control valve 305 and the vent control valve 310.
- gas flows down the coiled tubing string 325 into the assembly 300 and out through a gas outlet port 330.
- vent control valve 310 when the vent control valve 310 is in the open position, gas enters a vent inlet port 340 and exits through a vent outlet port 335.
- a first control conduit 345 and a second control conduit 350 are housed inside the coiled tubing string 325.
- the first control conduit 345 and the second control conduit 350 are typically hydraulic control lines and are used to actuate the valve assembly 300.
- electrical power can be transmitted through the one or more of the control conduits 345, 350 to actuate the valve assembly 300.
- the valve assembly 300 may include data transmitting means to transmit data, such as pressure and temperature within the pump chamber, through the control conduits 345, 350 to the surface of the wellbore.
- the valve assembly 300 or the housing 200 may include sensors.
- the transmitting means can include fiber optic cable.
- a first seal 355, second seal 360, and third seal 365 are circumferentially mounted around an external surface of the valve assembly 300.
- the purpose of the seals is to isolate fluid paths between the valve assembly 300 and the housing 200 ( Figure 2 ) when the valve assembly 300 is inserted therein.
- the assembly 300 further includes a first key 370 and a second key 375 to secure the valve assembly 300 axially within the housing 200.
- the first key 370 and the second key 375 are outwardly biased and are designed to mate with the profiles in the interior surface of the housing 200 ( Figure 2 ).
- FIG 4 is a sectional view of the valve assembly 300 disposed in the housing 200.
- the valve assembly 300 is shown at the end of the coiled tubing string 325 that provides a source of pressurized gas to operate the pump.
- the accumulator chamber 415 for collecting formation fluid is secured to the housing 200 by the externally threaded portion 210 at the lower end of the housing 200.
- the tubing string 405 is secured to the housing 200 at the internally threaded portion 205.
- a diptube 410 is secured to the housing 200 by way of the internally threaded portion 220 of the first longitudinal bore 215.
- a vent line 420 is secured to the housing 200 at the aperture 235 to provide a passageway for gas venting from the accumulator chamber 415.
- the removable valve assembly 300 is installed at an end of the coiled tubing string 325 and the string 325 is inserted in tubing string 405 at the top of the wellbore and the valve assembly 300 is lowered on the string 325 towards the housing 200.
- a profile means and guide orient and align the valve assembly 300 with the second longitudinal bore 225 which is offset from the center of the housing 200.
- Profile means and guides are well known in the art and typically include some mechanical means for orienting a device in a wellbore.
- the valve assembly 300 After insertion into the upper end 255 of the bore 225, the valve assembly 300 is urged downwards until the first key 370 and the second key 375 of the valve assembly 300 are secured in place in the first profile 240 and the second profile 245 of the housing 200. Mating angles on the keys and profiles permit the retention of the valve in the housing 200.
- the first seal 355 and the second seal 360 form a barrier on the top and bottom of the injection port 250 to prevent leakage of injected gas into the accumulator chamber 415.
- the second seal 360 and the third seal 365 provide a barrier on the top and bottom of the aperture 235 to prevent leakage of gas exiting the vent line 420.
- FIG. 5 is a sectional view of an alternative valve assembly 500 and Figure 6 is a sectional view of the valve assembly 500 installed in a housing 600 in accordance with a further embodiment of the invention.
- the housing 600 of Figure 6 includes additional fluid paths formed therein but is otherwise similar to the housing 200 of Figure 2 and the valve assembly 500 of Figure 6 includes additional fluid paths formed therein but is otherwise similar to the valve assembly 300 of Figure 3 , and like reference numerals are therefore used in Figure 6 to denote similar parts in these figures.
- Hydraulic conduits 630, 635 are formed in the housing 600 and serve to carry hydraulic power fluid from an upper end of the housing 600 to the longitudinal bore 645 formed in the housing 600.
- conduits 630, 635 intersect the bore 645 at locations ensuring that they will communicate with the valve assembly 500 after it has been installed in the bore 645 and is retained therein with the retention means described with respect to Figure 4 .
- an internal gas line 640 is also formed in the housing 600 providing communication between the upper end of the housing 600 and the bore 645.
- valve assembly 500 is installed in the bore 645 with a selective connector or gripping tool 607 that temporarily retains the valve assembly 500 by gripping a fish neck 580 formed at the upper end of the valve assembly 500.
- Gripping tools typically operate mechanically with inwardly movable fingers.
- a kickover tool can be utilized to align the valve assembly 500 with the offset bore 645. Kickover tools and gripping tools are well known in the art.
- the assembly 500 can be inserted and removed from the housing using wireline or slick line. After completion of the pumping operation and when it is required to withdraw the valve assembly 500 from the wellbore, the valve assembly 500 can simply be retrieved from the bore 645 in the housing 600 on the end of the wireline by exerting sufficient upward force on the wireline to overcome the sealing engagement of the valve assembly 500 within the bore 645.
- Figure 7 is a sectional view of a removable valve assembly 700 in a longitudinal bore 720 of a pump housing 705 with an electrical connection therebetween.
- the assembly 700 is illustrated only partially inserted into the housing 705.
- the housing 705 is electrically wired with conductors 710, 715 that lead to a lower portion of the longitudinal bore 720.
- a contact seat 725 is located within the bore 720 and is constructed and arranged to receive an electrode 730 protruding from the lower end of the valve assembly 700. As the assembly 700 is inserted into the bore 720 and is axially located therein, the electrode 730 is seated in the contact seat 725 and an electrical connection between the housing 705 and the valve assembly 700 is made.
- valve assembly 700 may be actuated electrically through the use of a solenoid switch 735 disposed within the valve assembly 700.
- the housing includes flow paths formed therein that communicate with the valve assembly 700 and reduce the necessary bulk of the valve assembly 700.
