Definitions
- the present invention relates to a dual rotating centralizer for a borehole used in wellbores drilled for the extraction of oil or gas. More particularly, the present invention relates to a dualizer having two rotating bodies rotating on a ring, clockwise or anticlockwise on its own axis.
- the process of extraction of hydrocarbons such as oil and gas is a multi-step process.
- a wellbore is generally formed by rotating a drill bit on the end of a drill string.
- the drill string is maintained substantially on the longitudinal axis of the wellbore by a plurality of casings which are generally referred to as "centralizers" and which are mounted on the drill string at predetermined intervals.
- the casing is then cemented into place by cement between the inner diameter of the bore hole and the outer diameter of the casing.
- the cement displaces the heavy, sticky drilling mud left over from the drilling operation.
- the casing is rotated and/or reciprocated longitudinally to promote a uniform distribution of cement around the casing along its length.
- Centralizers are commonly secured at intervals along a pipe string, such as a casing string, to provide stand-off between the exterior wall of the casing string and the wall of a borehole in which the casing string is installed. Whilst this arrangement is quite satisfactory for drilling conventional vertical wellbores problems arise in deviated drilling in which it is desired to drill one part of a wellbore at an angle to a vertical wellbore. In particular, as the drill string changes direction enormous lateral loads are placed on the centralizers. At the present time the construction of the low duty centralizer is such that there is a high probability that they will disintegrate leaving undesirable debris in the wellbore.
- centralizing blade assemblies that are attached to the outside of the casing. These blade assemblies are positioned along the length of the casing at regular intervals and held in place with setscrews, clamping collars, and the like.
- One problem with these blade assemblies is that they commonly became loose due to the rotation and reciprocation of casing and due to which they often slide along the casing. When this happens, they tend to bunch up at one or more locations. This results in poor centralizing of the casing and consequently, a poor cementing job.
- Another problem with these blade assemblies is that the setscrews often cut the casing as the blade assemblies slide under high torque rotation of the casing. These cuts reduce the integrity of the casing.
- US Patent no 5,095,981 discloses a casing centralizer which comprises a circumferentially continuous tubular metal body adapted to fit closely about a joint of casing, and a plurality of solid metal blades fixed to the body and extending parallel to the axis of the body along the outer diameter of the body in generally equally spaced apart relation, each blade having opposite ends which are tapered outwardly toward one another and a relatively wide outer surface for bearing against the well-bore or an outer casing in which the casing is disposed, including screws extending threadedly through holes in at least certain of the blades and the body for gripping the casing so as to hold the centralizer in place.
- U.S. patent No. 6,006,830 discloses a casing centralizer which comprises an annular body, a substantially cylindrical bore extending longitudinally through said body, and a peripheral array of a plurality of longitudinally extending blades circumferentially distributed around said body to define a flow path between each circumferentially adjacent pair of said blades, each said flow path providing a fluid flow path between longitudinally opposite ends of said centralizer, each said blade having a radial outer edge providing a well-bore contacting surface, and said cylindrical bore through said body being a clearance fit around casing intended to be centralized by said casing centralizer, the centralizer being manufactured wholly from a material which comprises zinc or a zinc alloy.
- the problem with locating a stop collar longitudinally between sliding end collars is that the thickness of the stop collar prevents the Centralizer ribs from completely radially inwardly collapsing to lie flat along the length of the casing to which the Centralizer is slidably secured. This causes the stop collar to consume valuable annular space and thereby prevents optimal sizing of subsequent casing.
- An exemplary centralizer is the Lirette et al. centralizer of U.S. Pat. No. 5,575,333 .
- This centralizer uses movable, flexible spring bows to space the casing from the sides of the bore hole.
- the Lirette et al. centralizer includes threaded ends that allow it to function as a casing coupling that connects sections of an inner casing within an outer casing.
- Such movable, flexible spring bows tend to prohibit the rotation of a casing within a bore hole because the spring bows are not typically able to withstand the high torque developed by rotation of the casing relative to the inner surface of the bore hole.
- the present invention provides a dualizer which rotates in both directions and thus induces extra swirl during cementing.
- the said duallizer need not to be floated between the stop collars as even when the Centralizer is fixed it would allow easy rotation since the two bodies will rotate itself along with casing rotation.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,830,105 discloses a borehole centralizer having an elongated shank member on which opposed head members are slidable and are connected to movable articulated arms.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,261,488 discloses a device for well casing having spring strips. In this invention an additional energizing device is required to increase the bowing spring strips.
- US 2004/0026131 A1 discloses a centralizer which is interposed between two rods of a drilling string. This centralizer clearly distinguishes from the centralizers mentioned before which comprise a casing mounted on the drill string.
- US 4 635 736 A discloses a drill steering apparatus comprising an upper body and a lower cylindrical body securely attached. The purpose of this apparatus is to control the direction of drilling of a wellbore.
- US 4 984 644 A discloses a centralizer consisting of a single cylindrical body.
- US 2 659 439 discloses a centralizer having longitudinally spaced end rings/collars, to which a plurality of longitudinally extending ribs/blades are secured. If desired, a duplicate centering arrangement can be used as shown in fig1 of US 2659439 .
- the Centralizers in the prior art faced one of the major problems during rotation of the casing.
- the solid Centralizers in the prior art were not able to allow the proper rotation of casing and moved from its position when the casing was in place. Further when casing was reciprocated the Centralizer again displaced and was not static while the pipe was being moved.
- the dual rotary centralizer of the present invention overcomes the disadvantages associated with the prior art casing centralizers by providing the two bodies of the centralizer which are able to rotate on its axis both in clockwise and anticlockwise direction with the centralizer itself being in place due to locking of allen screw onto the casing pipe.
- the dualizer of the present invention overcomes all these problems. It is able to withstand the high torque rotation and reciprocation of the casing without slippage, while allowing cement to flow smoothly, evacuating the drilling mud easily, reducing insertion and pumping pressures, and increasing cement flow rates.
- the object is to provide a bi - directional centralizer.
- Yet another object is to provide a dual rotary centralizer which can rotate clockwise or anticlockwise through its own axis.
- Yet another object is to provide a centralizer apparatus which is able to float freely while rotating around its own axis.
- Yet another object of one or more aspects is to meet aforementioned industry need.
- Yet another object is to provide a dual rotary centralizer for borehole which is particularly suitable for cementing job.
- Yet another object is to provide a dual centralizer which may be disposed at one end with a casing joint and other with the one side of the axis.
- the other side of the axis is disposed with the other body of the centralizer in free flow rotation.
- Yet another object is to provide a centralizer which withstands high torque rotation and reciprocation without slippage.
- Yet another object is to provide such a dual rotary centralizer which is economical, very inexpensive to manufacture, efficient and easy to use.
- a dual rotary centralizer for cementing a casing in a wellbore comprising a ring, an upper cylindrical body longitudally placed on the upper rim of the ring, a lower cylindrical body longitudally placed at the bottom rim of the ring, and an array of equiangularly-spaced blades integrally formed with the body of upper and lower cylindrical bodies.
- the upper cylindrical body and the lower cylindrical body are arranged to rotate on the axis of the ring both in clockwise and anticlockwise direction, wherein the centralizer is in position due to an inbuilt locking screw.
- the apparatus comprises two rotating bodies and a stop ring.
- the said rotating bodies rotate clockwise or anticlockwise on its own axis.
- the upper and lower bodies have blades which help in swirl motion during the cementing operation.
- the upper and lower bodies can have various angles as per the requirement of the operation.
- the two bodies are fitted onto a ring by a locking mechanism.
- the centarlizer of present invention has a construction wherein the two bodies of the centralizer is able to rotate on the axis of a stop ring both in clockwise and anticlockwise direction with the centralizer itself being in position due to the inbuilt locking screw onto the casing pipe. It allows cement to flow smoothly, evacuating the drilling mud easily, reducing insertion and pumping pressures, and increasing cement flow rates.
- the present invention therefore, relates to a dual rotating centralizer for a borehole used in wellbores drilled for the extraction of oil or gas and a method of centralizing a casing tubular in an oil or gas wellbore with the help of said centralizer. More particularly, the present invention relates to a dualizer having two rotating bodies rotating on a ring, clockwise or anticlockwise on its own axis.
- the dual rotary centralizer is formed as a bi-directional centralizer and is economical, very inexpensive to manufacture, efficient and easy to use.
- the present invention relates to an apparatus for use in a wellbore, which comprises two rotating bodies and a stop ring.
- the said rotating bodies rotate clockwise or anticlockwise on its own axis.
- the present invention provides a dual rotary centralizer with a unique dual rotating design with an advantage of an integral stop. This combination enables a free rotation on the axis of the casing pipe which allows easy casing rotation while the dual rotary centralizer stays in its position onto the casing pipe eliminating altogether the need for stop collars.
- the clockwise and anticlockwise rotation of two bodies induces extra swirl action.
- the locking mechanism employed in the dual rotary centralizer provides excellent rotational performance in mud. They provide exceptional wear resistance, Torque reducing performance which increases the swirling of cement slurry. The rotating dual body ensures that axle shear stresses remain within elastic limits.
