Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a downhole completion device configured to be mounted as part of a well tubular metal structure. Furthermore, the invention relates to a downhole completion system.
  • the senor When having electrical components downhole, such as a pressure or temperature sensor, the sensor is subjected to both high temperature and high pressure.
  • the sensor is often comprised in a housing, but when the temperature in the well increases, the pressure in the housing also increases, which jeopardises the functionality of the sensor.
  • a downhole completion device configured to be mounted as part of a well tubular metal structure, comprising:
  • the electrical component is protected from any temperature and pressure changes that naturally occur downhole in a well during production, fracturing, aciding, gas lifting or other activities taking place downhole during the service life of a well.
  • the second housing section may be made of a non-metallic material.
  • the electrical component may be a sensor.
  • the electrical component may be a piezoelectric element, a strain gauge, a coil or an anemometer.
  • the second thickness may be less than 50% of the first thickness.
  • the second thickness may be less than 33% of the first thickness, preferably less than 25%.
  • the housing may have an outer face and the outer face may be provided with a thread.
  • liquid may be silicone, grease or any liquid suitable for electrical components.
  • the housing may have a third housing section having a third thickness, the third thickness being smaller than the first thickness.
  • the second housing section may have a projected state in which the liquid has a second volume being larger than the first volume, and a retracted state in which the liquid has a third volume being smaller than the first volume.
  • the downhole completion device may further comprise a communication unit connected with the electrical component.
  • the downhole completion device may further comprise a storage unit connected with the electrical component.
  • the downhole completion device may further comprise a power supply arranged in the space.
  • the housing may comprise a filling nozzle.
  • the present invention furthermore relates to a downhole completion system comprising:
  • the downhole completion device may be configured to be mounted in the well tubular metal structure.
  • the downhole completion device may be configured to be mounted on an outer face of the well tubular metal structure.
  • the downhole completion device may be configured to be mounted on an inner face of the well tubular metal structure.
  • the housing of the downhole completion device and the outer face of the well tubular metal structure may enclose the space.
  • the electrical component may abut the outer face of the well tubular metal structure.
  • the downhole completion device may have a longitudinal extension which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and extends radially from the longitudinal axis.
  • the downhole completion device may extend through the wall of the well tubular metal structure.
  • the downhole completion device may extend through the wall of the well tubular metal structure in a sealing manner.
  • the downhole completion device may at least partly project from the outer face of the well tubular metal structure.

  • the well tubular metal structure may comprise one or more annular barriers, each annular barrier comprising:
  • Fig. 1 shows a downhole completion device 1 configured to be mounted as part of a well tubular metal structure 2 in a borehole 30.
  • the downhole completion device 1 comprises a metal housing 3 enclosing a closed space 4 and an electrical component 5, such as a coil 32, arranged in the space inside the metal housing.
  • the metal housing 3 is filled with a liquid 41 having a first volume V 1 of 1 bar at 20°C.
  • the metal housing 3 has a first housing section 6 and second housing section 7.
  • the first housing section 6 has a first thickness t 1 and the second housing section 7 has a second thickness t 2 , and the second thickness is smaller than the first thickness so that the second housing section is more flexible than the first housing section.
  • the electrical component is hereby protected from any temperature and pressure changes that naturally occur downhole in a well during production, fracturing, aciding, gas lifting or other activities taking place downhole during the service life of a well.
  • the liquid inside the downhole completion device 1 surrounds the electrical component and thereby protects the electronics from these bumps during installation of the well tubular metal structure since the liquid fills out the space and has a substantially dampening effect when such bumps and shakings occur.
  • the second housing section 7 may be made of metal or a non-metallic material.
  • the second housing section 7 is in Figs. 1-3 a separate part fastened to the first housing section 6, and in Fig. 4 , the second housing section 7 is made as a thinner part of the metal housing 3 and not as a separate part.

  • the downhole completion device 1 extends through a wall of the well tubular metal structure 2 and partly projects from the outer face 28 of the well tubular metal structure 2.
  • the downhole completion device 1 has a longitudinal extension 15 being perpendicular to a longitudinal axis 12 and extends radially from the longitudinal axis.
  • the electrical component 5 is a sensor, such as an anemometer having a hot wire 17, extending from the metal housing 3 into the borehole 30 and is thus in connection with the well fluid.

  • the electrical component 5 may be connected with the communication unit 18, the energy harvesting unit 22, the power supply 10, the control unit 23 or the storage unit 24.
  • the energy harvesting unit 22 may obtain energy from a downhole tool 16, and the downhole tool 16 may also communicate with the downhole completion device 1.
  • the electrical component 5 is a sensor having access via a line 27 to measure a condition, such as temperature or pressure, of the well fluid in the borehole 30.
