Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a downhole artificial lifting system for introducing fluid into a production casing from an annulus outside the production casing.
  • the production casing has a casing wall with a wall thickness, and the system comprises the production casing which at a first part is surrounded by an intermediate casing creating the annulus which is downwardly closed, and a fluid delivering means pumping fluid into the annulus.
  • the invention also relates to a tool and a method.
  • Artificial lift refers to the use of an artificial means to increase the flow of liquids, such as crude oil or water, from a production well. This is generally done by using a mechanical device inside the well, e.g. a pump or a velocity string, or by decreasing the weight of the hydrostatic column by injecting a fluid, often a gas, into the liquid a certain distance down the well. The latter is often called a gas lift system.
  • the injected gas aerates the fluid to reduce its density.
  • the formation pressure is thereby able to lift the oil column and force the fluid out of the wellbore.
  • Gas may be injected continuously or intermittently, depending on the producing characteristics of the well and the arrangement of the gas lift equipment.
  • the known gas lift systems may consist of a mandrel, which is a device installed in the tubing string of a well..
  • mandrels There are two common types of mandrels.
  • a gas lift valve is installed as the tubing is placed in the well.
  • the tubing string must be pulled up. This is a cumbersome operation.
  • Another known mandrel is the side-pocket mandrel.
  • the valve In a side-pocket mandrel, the valve is installed and removed by means of wireline while the side-pocket mandrel is still in the well. This may eliminate the need to pull up the tubing to repair or replace the valve, however, side-pocket mandrels are complicated systems to operate and are furthermore installed as the tubing is placed in the well. Furthermore, mandrels occupy a lot of space outside the production casing, which complicates other operations performed outside the production casing.
  • the known gas lift system is installed in the tubing, i.e. the casing, however, the known gas lift system is difficult or nearly impossible to retrofit into existing production wells.

  • the blocking means may have a flow providing means for allowing fluid to pass the blocking means.
  • This flow providing means may be a valve means connectable to the fluid delivering means, allowing the fluid of the fluid delivering means to flow past the top part of the annulus and into the confined annulus area.
  • the system may comprise a plurality of blocking means so that a first blocking means creates a confined annulus area between the first blocking means and the packer, and a second blocking means creates a confined annulus area between the first blocking means and the second blocking means.
  • valve means may be a one-way valve.
  • the first part of the casing wall may have at least one valve outside each confined annulus area, allowing fluid to flow from that confined annulus area into the production casing through the valve.
  • the downhole inflow control valve may comprise a housing having an inlet and an outlet; a piston element sliding within the housing and comprising a face and at least one side abutting the housing and extending from the face towards the outlet of the housing, the face facing the inlet and having a piston hole allowing the fluid from the inlet to flow through the piston hole and out through the outlet; and a spring element arranged between the housing and the piston, wherein the side of the piston element is able to, at least partly, close the outlet in order to reduce the inflow of fluid into the casing.
  • the inflow control valve may comprise a fastening means for fastening the valve to an opening in the casing.
  • This fastening means may comprise a thread or a plurality of projecting parts for projecting into a groove in a hole in a wall of the casing, such as a bayonet lock.
  • the inflow control valve may comprise a unique identifier, such as a chemical or radioactive tracer.
  • the inflow control valve may comprise a gas detection means, a water detection means or a density detection means which is able to close the valve if the density is lower or higher than a predetermined density.
  • This gas or water density detection means may comprise closing means for closing the outlet or the inlet.
  • valves may be controllable from above the well.
  • valves may be remotely controllable from above the well.
  • the gas may flow directly into the production casing through the valve.
  • the inflow control valve may have a height and a diameter, and the height is substantially equal to the wall thickness of the casing.
  • the inflow control valve may be connected directly or indirectly to the delivering means.
  • valve is in fluid communication with the delivering means, e.g. through of the annulus.
  • the delivering means may be submerged into the intermediate casing on the outside of the production casing.
  • the delivering means may have a tubing part for connection with the valve.
  • the inflow control valve may comprise a connection means for connection with the tubing part of the delivering means.
  • the system may further comprise a tool for placing a valve in a casing, the tool comprising a milling means for creating an opening in the casing wall.
  • the tool may further comprise a means for creating a fastening recess or threads in the opening or an insertion means for inserting a valve into the opening.
  • the system may comprise a tool for placing a valve in a casing, the tool comprising a milling means for creating an opening in the casing wall, a means for creating a fastening recess or threads in the opening, and an insertion means for inserting a valve into the opening.
  • the system may comprise a tool for retrieving a valve in a casing wall, the tool comprising a key means for inserting into a recess in the valve and for unthreading the valve, or for releasing the fastening means of the valve in order to retrieve the valve.
  • This invention also relates to a method for fitting a downhole inflow control valve into an existing production casing downhole, the casing having a casing wall, the method comprising the steps of introducing a tool into the casing and lowering the tool to a predetermined position, providing an opening in the casing wall, inserting the downhole inflow control valve into the opening, and fastening the downhole inflow control valve to the casing wall.

  • fastening means such as a thread
  • the invention furthermore relates to a method for replacing a downhole inflow control valve in a production casing downhole, the casing having a casing wall, the method comprising the steps of introducing a tool into the casing and lowering the tool to the valve to be replaced, unfastening the valve from the casing wall, retrieving the valve from the casing and thereby exposing an opening in the casing wall, inserting a new valve into the opening, and fastening the new valve to the casing wall.
  • the invention relates to a method for providing artificial lift in a well downhole using at least one inflow control valve in a production casing downhole, the production casing being enclosed by an intermediate casing creating an annulus, the method comprising the steps of connecting a fluid delivering means with the annulus, pumping fluid into the annulus by means of the fluid delivering device, wherein the fluid has a density lower than that of crude oil or is gas, opening the inflow control valve being connected to the annulus, allowing the fluid to enter through the inflow control valve into the production casing, whereby the fluid in the production casing starts to flow, or flows faster.
  • the invention relates to a method for detecting during production a position of a specific downhole inflow control valve among a plurality of inflow control valves arranged spaced apart in a casing wall of a casing downhole, wherein each valve comprises a unique identifier, the method comprising the steps of analysing a fluid for the purpose of locating the existence of unique identifiers, comparing the analysis of the fluid with the unique identifier of each valve, and determining the specific valve based on the comparison.
  • the invention relates to a downhole artificial lifting system 100 for introducing fluid into a production casing 4 from an annulus outside the production casing.
  • the production casing 4 has a casing wall 102 with a wall thickness t.
  • the downhole system 100 comprises the production casing 4 which at a first part 107 is surrounded by an intermediate casing creating the annulus which is downwardly closed, and a fluid delivering means 108 pumping fluid into the annulus.
  • the system 100 further comprises at least one inflow control valve 1 arranged in the first part 107 of the casing wall 102, and having an axial extension which is substantially the same as the wall thickness t.
  • the thickness of the casing does not increase, which makes other operations easier. Furthermore, the complicated prior art solution of having a valve incorporated in a surrounding mandrel is no longer the only solution. In addition, such an inflow control valve makes it possible to easily mount the system into an existing well, and the valve is easily replaced later on if necessary.
  • the casing 4 is a production casing enclosed by a surrounding intermediate casing 18, and the fluid which is pumped down into the intermediate casing 18 and into the valves of the production casing is gas.
  • Packers 19 are arranged between the production casing 4 and the intermediate casing 18.
  • Fig. 1 shows a downhole artificial lifting system 100 according to the invention when creating an opening 103 in the casing 4 in order to insert an inflow control valve 1.
  • a downhole tool 101 comprising a milling means 106 is inserted into the first part 107 of the production casing 4.
  • the tool 101 comprises a downhole tractor which controls and moves the milling means 106 into position and maintains the milling means in position while creating the opening 103 in the well.
  • the milling means 106 may also be held into place by an anchor section which is submerged into the well without using a downhole tractor.
  • the milling means 106 may comprise means for creating a recess in the opening 103, enabling the projecting fastening means 13 of the valve 1 to unfold in this recess and thus be fastened.
  • the tool 101 comprises a means for creating a thread in the opening 103, allowing the valve to be mounted by screwing it into the opening.
  • the tool 101 is moved so that the insertion means 104 is positioned outside the opening, enabling mounting of the valve 1 in the opening as shown in Fig. 2 .
  • Fig. 3 shows yet another embodiment of the system where the inflow control valve 1 has been inserted, and the tool is being retracted from the well.
  • the well is now ready for performing artificial lift by pumping gas down into the annulus between the intermediate casing 18 and the production casing 4.
  • the gas enters the production casing 4 through the inflow control valves 1, and the gas is thus pumped into the fluid in the form of bubbles, and the weight of the hydrostatic column in the first part 107 of the well decreases. In this way, the flow of the well fluid is initiated, or the well fluid already flowing is accelerated.
  • the inflow of lifting fluid is controlled to obtain an optimal mix with the well fluid, and thereby an optimal artificial lift of the well, .
  • the annulus is closed by a packer 110 dividing the production casing 4 in a first 107 and a second part, causing the first part of the production casing to be situated above the packer.
  • a blocking means 109 is arranged outside the first part 107 of the production casing 4, dividing the annulus into a top part 113 and a bottom part 114, causing the bottom part to be a confined annulus area 115 between the blocking means 109 and the packer 110.
  • the blocking means 109 has a flow providing means 112 for allowing fluid to pass the blocking means, and a tubing is connected between a gas delivery means 108 and the flow providing means 112 in order to fill the confined annulus area 115.
  • one of the inflow control valves 1 is connected to a tubing, and gas is thereby provided directly from the gas delivery means 108 into the valve, and the blocking means 109 is no longer necessary, but may be used to hold the tubing in place.
  • the system 100, 115 comprises a plurality of blocking means so that a first blocking means creates a confined annulus area between the first blocking means and the packer 110, and a second blocking means creates a confined annulus area between the first blocking means and the second blocking means.
  • the first part 107 of the casing wall 102 has at least one valve 1 outside each confined annulus area 115, enabling fluid to flow from that confined annulus area into the production casing 4 through the valve.
  • the system 100 may comprise a plurality of inflow control valves 1 situated in the same level spaced apart along the diameter of the casing 4.
  • the valves 1 are arranged spaced apart along the longitudinal extension of the casing 4.
  • the inflow control valve 1 of the system 100 may be the valve described below in connection with Figs. 4-7 , or it may have other designs and configurations as long as it is able to control the inflow of fluid, and as long as it has an extension which is substantially the same as the wall thickness t of the production casing 4.
  • the downhole artificial lifting system 100 may comprise a screen 20 causing the fluid to flow through the screen before entering the inflow control valve 1. In this way, the fluid is slowed down, and large solid elements are prevented from entering the valve.
  • the system 100 On the inside of the production casing 4 outside the outlets 7, the system 100 may have a sleeve which is able to close off the outlet 7 of the valve 1.
  • the inflow control valve 1 of the system 100 may also comprise a chamber filled with a unique identifier.
  • system 100 may comprise a control means for controlling the closing of each valve 1 from the surface.
  • the system 100 may also comprise a tool 101 which is inserted into the casing 4 in order to close the outlets 7 of the valves 1.

  • it comprises a tool 101 for retrieving the valve 1 in a production casing wall 102, which tool comprises a key means 105 for inserting into a recess in the valve and for unthreading the valve, or for releasing the fastening means 13 of the valve in order to retrieve the valve.
  • the key means 105 has to retract a sleeve retracting the projecting fastening means, which has unfolded in the recess, back into the valve, and the valve can then be retracted from the opening in the casing wall 102.
  • the system 100 comprises an insertion means 104 for inserting a valve 1 into the opening 103.
  • a tool 101 is introduced into the production casing and lowered to the valve to be replaced.
  • the valve 1 is subsequently unfastened from the production casing wall 102 and retrieved from the casing 4, causing an opening in the casing wall to be exposed.
  • a new valve 1 is inserted in the opening 103 and fastened to the production casing wall 102.
  • oil By well fluid present in the well before performing a gas lift is meant any type of fluid which may be present in oil wells, such as oil, oil mud, crude oil, water etc.
  • oil By oil is meant any type of oil composition, such as crude oil, an oil-containing fluid etc.
  • Oil and water fluids may therefore all comprise other elements or substances than oil and/or water, respectively.
  • the fluid may also be a combination of gas, oil, water and small solids in the fluid.
  • fluid for performing the gas lift operation by forcing this fluid into the production casing gas is meant any type of gas composition or fluid having a density lower than that of crude oil.
  • a casing 4 is meant all types of pipes, tubings, tubulars etc. used downhole in relation to oil or natural gas production.
  • the downhole inflow control valve 1 comprises a housing 5 having an inlet 6 and an outlet 7. As can be seen in Fig. 4 , the housing 5 is arranged in the casing wall 102 by means of a threaded connection 13 and has substantially the same extension as the wall thickness t of the production casing 4.
  • a piston element 8 is arranged, which slides back and forth to narrow the outlet hole of the housing 5.
  • the piston element 8 comprises a face 9 facing the inlet 6 of the housing 5.
  • the piston element 8 further comprises a side 10 abutting the inside of the housing 5 and extending from the face 9 towards the outlet 7 of the housing 5.
  • the face 9 has a piston hole 11 allowing the fluid from the inlet 6 to flow through the piston hole 11 and out through the outlet 7 of the housing 5.
  • the valve 1 further comprises a spring element 12 arranged between the housing 5 and the piston 8, wherein the side 10 of the piston element 8 is able to, at least partly, close the outlet 7 in order to reduce the inflow of fluid into the casing 4 and thus reduce the flow rate of the fluid.
  • a self-actuated valve 1 By having a piston element 8 moving inside the valve housing 5, a self-actuated valve 1 with a very simple design which is able to control the inflow of fluid is obtained.
  • This simple design makes the valve easier to manufacture, and furthermore, it may cause fewer parts to fail when the valve 1 is inserted downhole.
  • the valve When inserting the inflow control valve 1 downhole, the valve must be easy to mount, which is not the case when holes of the valve have to be aligned with existing holes.
  • the inflow control valve 1 is easily installed in an existing production casing 4 by milling a hole in the casing with a threaded connection 13, and the valve can then be installed without any further alignments.
  • the housing 5 has a first 14, a second 15 and a third 16 wall, and the second wall 15 is arranged between the first 14 and the third wall 16, ensuring that the first 14 and the second wall 15 do not abut one another.
  • the inlet 6 is arranged in the first wall 14 of the housing 5, and the outlet 7 is arranged in the abutting second wall 15.
  • the spring element 12 is arranged within the piston 8 and presses against the face 9 of the piston 8 from the outlet 7 towards the inlet 6.
  • the housing is shaped like a hollow cylinder, and the piston 8 is shaped like a hollow cylinder without a bottom.
  • the face 9 of the piston 8 is thus circular, and the side 10 of the piston 8 is a circumferential side extending from the face 9 towards the third wall 16 of the housing 5 and the outlet 7.
  • the housing 5 may have a square cross-section, meaning that the housing 5 has four second walls 15 between the first 14 and the third wall 16.
  • the side 10 of the piston 8 is also a circumferential side which has two openings arranged outside and in alignment with the outlet 7 of the housing 5, enabling the fluid to flow out of the housing 5 and into the production casing 4. If the outlet 7 is to be narrowed, the side 10 of the piston 8 is displaced away from the inlet 6 in the housing 5.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that if the pressure in the annulus drops because the inlet 6 is blocked by e.g. debris, or if the filter or screen is blocked, the spring element 12 forces the piston 8 towards the inlet 6, whereby the outlet 7 is closed.
  • the side 10 of the piston 8 On the outside of the side 10 of the piston 8, between the opening and the end farthest away from the piston face 9, the side 10 of the piston 8 is arranged with a barb or a projection which enters the outlet 7, causing the piston 8 to be unable to move downwards again.
  • the barb or projection is maintained inside the wall of the piston side 10, and when possible, it swings outwards towards the outlet opening.
  • the inflow control valve 1 is permanently closed, which makes it possible to arrange a new valve elsewhere in the casing wall 102, or to replace the valve. If the valve was not locked, and the feature blocking the flow passage over time was removed, the valve would begin to let fluid flow into the production casing 4 again. This is not a desirable situation as it makes optimal management of the production impossible.
  • the fluid in the annulus has a first pressure
  • the fluid after passing the inlet 6 has a second pressure
  • the fluid after passing the piston opening has a third pressure
  • the fluid after passing the outlet 7 has a fourth pressure.
  • the second pressure is greater than the third pressure and a spring force of the spring element 12
  • the piston 8 is pushed by the second pressure to, at least partly, close the outlet 7. In this way, the valve is able to control the inflow of fluid into the production casing 4.
  • the housing 5 comprises a cavity in which the piston 8 slides.
  • the piston 8 divides the housing 5 into two parts, a first cavity part and a second cavity part which still remain one cavity.
  • the fluid in the annulus has a first pressure P 1
  • the fluid in the first cavity part after passing the inlet 6 has a second pressure P 2
  • the fluid after passing the piston opening in the second cavity part has a third pressure P 3
  • the fluid after passing the outlet 7 has a fourth pressure P 4 .
  • the inflow control valve 1 comprises two outlets 7. In another embodiment, it may comprise more outlets 7.
  • the spring element 12 is shown as a helical spring.
  • the spring element 12 is a disk spring of discs in layers.
  • the spring element 12 may be any kind of suitable spring means, such as a leaf spring or a rubber element.
  • the inflow control valve 1 is fastened to the production casing 4 by means of threads, but it may also have other fastening means 13, such as a plurality of projecting parts for extending into a groove in the casing wall 102.
  • the fastening means 13 may in this way be a bayonet lock.
  • the valve has fastening means 13 in the form of projections functioning as barbs when released into the groove in the casing wall 102.
  • the inflow control valve 1 may also have the shape of a tapering cone fitting into a cone-shaped opening in the casing wall 102.
  • the valve In order to fasten the valve when inserted into the production casing 4, the valve is provided with fastening means 13 in the form of arms 13 which are spring-loaded and released when the tip of the valve enters the outside of the casing 4 as shown in Fig. 7 . In this way, the inflow control valve 1 is easily insertable into existing wells from within the well.
  • sealing means 22 may be arranged between the piston side 10 and the second wall 15 of the housing 5.
  • the sealing means 22 may be fastened in a circumferential groove in the piston 8 as shown in Fig. 4 , or in a circumferential groove in the housing wall as shown in Fig. 5 .
  • the sealing means 22 may be an O-ring or any other suitable sealing means 22.
  • the inflow control valve 1 may comprise a filter 17 preventing solid elements in the fluid from entering the valve through the inlet 6.
  • the filter 17 is thus arranged in an opening in the housing 5 where it is connected to the housing 5 by means of a threaded connection 13.
  • a screen 20 may be positioned on the outside of the production casing 4, causing the fluid to enter through the screen 20 before entering the inlet 6.
  • the piston element 8 has a bottom face fastened to the face 1 by means of bars, pins or the like elongated elements, and the spring element 12 is arranged between the bottom face and the housing 5.
  • the piston element 8 may also be a hollow cylinder or another hollow element having e.g. a square cross-section as shown in Fig. 7 .
  • the spring element 12 may be arranged between the third wall 16 of the housing 5 and the bottom of the piston element 21.
  • the side 10 On the outside of the piston 8, the side 10 may also be barbed or provided with a projection to inhibit a spring force, causing the projection to enter the outlet 7 and thereby closing it.
  • the inflow control valve 1 comprises a water detection means which closes the valve when the fluid flowing in from the annulus contains too much water.
  • the valve 1 may also comprise a density detection means which detects changes in the density of the fluid, enabling the valve to be closed if the density is lower or higher than a predetermined density.
  • the valve 1 comprises closing means enabling it to close itself when the fluid reaches a too high water content, or the density has changed too much.
  • the valve 1 may also be closed via central control at the surface or by a tool 101 inserted into the production casing 4. By being able to monitor the water content and close the valve when the limit is reached, it becomes much easier to maintain a high quality production.
  • the closing procedure may be performed by drilling a hole in the bottom of the inflow control valve 1 and subsequently pushing up the piston 8 until the projections unfold in the outlets 7 and thereby close the valve 1.
  • the closing means of the detection means may comprise a swellable material arranged in the inlet 6 or in another opening through which the fluid flows, causing the swellable material to swell when the fluid contains too much water.
