Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an annular barrier to be expanded in an annulus between a well tubular metal structure and an inside wall of a borehole downhole for providing zone isolation between a first zone and a second zone of the borehole.
  • the invention also relates to a downhole system comprising a well tubular metal structure and an annular barrier.
  • annular barriers are used for different purposes, such as for providing an isolation barrier.
  • An annular barrier has a tubular part mounted as part of the well tubular structure, such as the production casing, which is surrounded by an annular expandable sleeve.
  • the expandable sleeve is typically made of metal and fastened at its ends to the tubular part of the annular barrier.
  • the pressure envelope of a well is governed by the burst rating of the well tubular metal structure, e.g. the production casing, and the well hardware, e.g. other completion components, used within the well construction.
  • the expandable sleeve of an annular barrier may be expanded by increasing the pressure within the well, which is the most cost-efficient way of expanding the sleeve and setting such metal packer.
  • the pressure rating of a well defines the maximum pressure that can be applied to the well for expanding the sleeve without damaging other components of that well, and it is desirable to minimise the expansion pressure required for expanding the sleeve in order to minimise the exposure of the well to the expansion pressure since many wells have a lower pressure rating than required to expand an expandable metal sleeve of an annular barrier.
  • annular barriers When expanded, annular barriers may be subjected to a continuous pressure or a periodic high pressure from the outside, either in the form of hydraulic pressure within the well environment or in the form of formation pressure. In some circumstances, such pressure may cause the annular barrier to collapse, which may have severe consequences for the area which is to be sealed off by the barrier as the sealing properties are lost due to the collapse.
  • annular barrier to be expanded in an annulus between a well tubular metal structure and an inside wall of a borehole downhole for providing zone isolation between a first zone and a second zone of the borehole, comprising
  • the first bore may comprise a sixth opening arranged between the fifth opening and the third opening and in fluid communication with the annulus.
  • the sixth opening may be in fluid communication with the annulus through a filtering element.
  • the second piston may move between the fourth opening and the fifth opening so that fluid flows between the fourth opening and the fifth opening via the second fluid channel.
  • sequence piston may have a first piston part and a second piston part and an intermediate piston part connecting the first piston part and the second piston part, the intermediate piston part having a smaller outer diameter than that of the first piston part and the second piston part so as to fluidly connect the second opening and the fifth opening when the sequence piston is in the second sequence position.
  • sequence piston may have a first piston part and a second piston part and an intermediate piston part connecting the first piston part and the second piston part, the intermediate piston part having a smaller outer diameter than that of the first piston part and the second piston part, providing an annular cavity between the first bore and the sequence piston to enable fluid passage.
  • sequence piston may have a through-bore having a bore diameter being larger than the outer diameter of the connecting rod so that fluid is allowed to pass between the connecting rod and the sequence piston.
  • the outer diameter of the first piston part and the second piston part of the sequence piston may correspond to the inner diameter of the second bore part.
  • the second piston part of the sequence piston may be provided with at least two sealing elements arranged at a distance between them that is larger than the diameter of the fifth opening.
  • the outer diameter of the connecting rod may be smaller than the first outer diameter and the second outer diameter.
  • the outer diameter of the connecting rod may be smaller than the first outer diameter and substantially equal to the second outer diameter.
  • first piston may move between the second opening and the third opening.
  • first piston and/or the second piston may have metal seals, ceramic seals or similar seals, and not elastomeric seals or O-rings.
  • the annular barrier may comprise a second outer diameter being more than 1.5 times larger than the first outer diameter, preferably more than 2 times larger than the first outer diameter, and more preferably more than 2.5 times larger than the first outer diameter.
  • the pressure-intensifying unit may comprise a second bore having a first aperture fluidly connected with the expansion opening and a second aperture fluidly connected with the first fluid channel, a third piston and a fourth piston connected by means of a second connecting rod being arranged in the second bore, and in a deployment position, the third piston and the fourth piston being arranged on either side of the second aperture, preventing fluid from entering the expandable space.
  • the second bore may comprise a third aperture in fluid communication with the annulus and a fourth aperture in fluid communication with the expandable space.
  • the third piston and the fourth piston may both be arranged on one side of the third and fourth apertures, providing fluid communication between the third and fourth apertures.
  • a shear pin may be arranged for preventing the third piston and the fourth piston from moving before a predetermined pressure is obtained in the well tubular metal structure, acting on the third piston.
  • the third piston and the fourth piston may move, providing fluid communication between the first and second apertures.
  • the pressure-intensifying unit may comprise a first chamber having a first chamber opening fluidly connected to the second bore part for accumulating fluid from the second bore part.
  • the first chamber may be an accumulating chamber.
  • the first chamber may have a second chamber opening fluidly connected with the first fluid channel, and the first chamber may comprise a first chamber piston being spring-loaded by means of a spring so that the first chamber piston is forced towards the first chamber opening, the first chamber piston being allowed to move between the first chamber opening and the second chamber opening.
  • the pressure-intensifying unit may comprise a second chamber fluidly connected with the second bore part via the first chamber.
  • the second chamber may comprise a third chamber opening in fluid communication with the first chamber, the second chamber comprising a fourth chamber opening fluidly connected with the annulus, the second chamber comprising a second chamber piston being spring-loaded by means of a spring so that the second chamber piston is forced towards the fluid connection to the second bore part and forced to move between the third chamber opening and the fourth chamber opening.
  • the invention relates to a downhole system comprising a well tubular metal structure and an annular barrier as mentioned above, wherein the tubular metal part is mounted as part of the well tubular metal structure.
  • Fig. 1 shows an annular barrier 1 which has been expanded in an annulus 2 between a well tubular metal structure 3 and an inside wall 4 of a borehole 5 downhole, providing zone isolation between a first zone 101 and a second zone 102 of the borehole.
  • the annular barrier comprises a tubular metal part 7 which has been mounted as part of the well tubular metal structure inserted into the borehole.
  • the annular barrier comprises an expandable metal sleeve 8 surrounding the tubular metal part, each end 9 of the expandable metal sleeve being connected to the tubular metal part, providing an expandable space 10 between the expandable metal sleeve and the tubular metal part, and an expansion opening 11 in the tubular metal part 7.
  • the annular barrier further comprises a pressure-intensifying unit 20 through which fluid having entered through the expansion opening is pressure-intensified before entering into the expandable space to expand the expandable metal sleeve 8 at a higher pressure than the pressure of the fluid entering the expansion opening in the tubular metal part.
  • the pressure-intensifying unit 20 is shown having a first bore 21 and a piston unit 22.
  • the first bore has a first bore part 23 having a first inner diameter ID 1 and a second bore part 24 having a second inner diameter ID 2 .
  • the piston unit has a first piston 25 having a first outer diameter OD 1 corresponding to the first inner diameter and a second piston 26 having a second outer diameter OD 2 corresponding to the second inner diameter.
  • the second piston is connected to the first piston by means of a connecting rod 27.
  • the connecting rod 27 has a smaller outer diameter than the second piston.
  • the first outer diameter is smaller than the second outer diameter, as a result of which the fluid having entered through the expansion opening 11 is pressure-intensified before entering the expandable space 10 to expand the expandable metal sleeve 8 to obtain a higher pressure than the pressure of the fluid entering the expansion opening in the tubular metal part 7 due to the diameter difference between the first piston and the second piston.
  • the first bore part 23 has a first opening 31 in fluid connection with the expansion opening 11 through a first fluid channel 41, and a first non-return valve 28 is arranged in the first fluid channel 41, allowing fluid to enter the first opening.
  • the first bore 21 has a second opening 32 fluidly connected with a part of the first fluid channel upstream of the first non-return valve 28.
  • the first bore part 23 has a third opening 33 in fluid communication with the expandable space 10 through a second non-return valve 29.
  • the second bore part 24 has a fourth opening 34 for entry of fluid in order to allow the first piston 25 to move in a first direction, ejecting fluid through the third opening and into the expandable space, and for exit of fluid in order to allow the first piston 25 to move in a second direction opposite the first direction.
  • the second bore part 24 has a fifth opening 35 in fluid communication with the third opening 33 through a second fluid channel 42 for allowing fluid to pass from one side of the second piston 26 to the other side of the second piston when the second piston moves back and forth.
  • the second fluid channel functions as a kind of bypass channel so that the second piston 26 is able to move as the fluid is in liquid form downhole and thus more or less incompressible and needs to be displaced elsewhere in order to be able to move the second piston.
  • the pressure-intensifying unit 20 further comprises a sequence piston 30 surrounding the connecting rod 27.
  • the sequence piston 30 has a first sequence position in which the sequence piston prevents fluid communication between the second opening 32 and the fifth opening 35 so that the fluid from within the tubular metal part 7 passes through the expansion opening 11 and into the first fluid channel 41 through the first non-return valve 28 and in through the first opening 31 and presses onto the first piston 25 to move the first piston in a second direction towards the second bore part 24.
  • the sequence piston 30 has a second sequence position in which the sequence piston allows fluid communication between the second opening and the fifth opening in order to move the piston unit 22 in the first direction and pressing the fluid in the first bore part 23 in through the third opening 33 and the second non-return valve 29 and into the expandable space 10 to expand the expandable metal sleeve 8 of the annular barrier 1.
  • the sequence piston 30 In the second sequence position, the sequence piston 30 straddles the second opening and the fifth opening.
  • the sequence piston 30 isolates the second opening so that all fluid through the expansion opening is forced to flow in through the first fluid channel and the first non-return valve and into the first bore part.
  • the sequence piston 30 has a first piston part 43 and a second piston part 44 and an intermediate piston part 45 connecting the first piston part and the second piston part
  • the intermediate piston part has a smaller outer diameter than that of the first piston part and the second piston part so as to fluidly connect the second opening 32 and the fifth opening 35 when the sequence piston 30 is in the second sequence position and so that the first piston part is positioned on one side of the fifth opening 35, and the intermediate piston part straddles the second opening 32 and the fifth opening 35, and the second piston part 44 is arranged on the other side of the second opening 32.
  • the intermediate piston part has a smaller outer diameter than that of the first piston part 43 and the second piston part 44, providing an annular cavity 47 between the first bore 21 and the sequence piston 30 to enable fluid passage between the second opening and the fifth opening.
  • the sequence piston 30 has a through-bore 46 having a bore diameter ID B being larger than the outer diameter of the connecting rod 27 so that fluid is allowed to pass between the connecting rod and the sequence piston along the bore diameter.
  • the outer diameter of the first piston part 43 and the second piston part 44 of the sequence piston corresponds to the inner diameter of the second bore part 24.
  • the sequence piston 30 is arranged in the first bore part 23.
  • the first bore 21 comprises a sixth opening 36 arranged between the fifth opening 35 and the third opening 33 and in fluid communication with the annulus 2.
  • the annulus is used as an accumulator.
  • the sixth opening is in fluid communication with the annulus through a filtering element preventing well fluid particles from entering the pressure-intensifying unit 20 and damaging its function.
  • the second piston part 44 of the sequence piston 30 is provided with at least two sealing elements 72 arranged at a distance between them that is larger than the diameter of the fifth opening 35. In this way, the second piston part of the sequence piston is sealing off the fifth opening until the sequence piston straddles the fifth opening and the second opening, and there is no risk of stranding opposite the fifth opening 35, where fluid may flow from the second opening 32 past the second piston part 44 and directly into the second bore part 24 without being forced through the second fluid channel 42, as shown in Fig. 4C .
  • the outer diameter of the connecting rod 27 is smaller than the first outer diameter and the second outer diameter.
  • the outer diameter of the connecting rod is smaller than the first outer diameter and substantially equal to the second outer diameter.
  • the sequence piston 30 has an internal key 73 moving in a groove 74 of the connecting rod for bringing the sequence piston to move from the first sequence position to the second sequence position. The movement of the sequence piston from the second sequence position to the first sequence position is performed by the second piston 26.
  • the second outer diameter is more than 1.2 times larger than the first outer diameter, preferably more than 1.5 times larger than the first outer diameter, more preferably more than 2 times larger than the first outer diameter, and even more preferably more than 2.5 times larger than the first outer diameter.
  • the pressure intensification factor of the pressure-intensifying unit 20 is given by the piston area difference between the first and the second piston and thus the difference between the second outer diameter and the first outer diameter (OD 2 /OD 1 ) ⁇ 2.
  • the pressure-intensifying unit 20 further comprises a second bore 51 having a first aperture 52 fluidly connected with the expansion opening 11 and a second aperture 53 fluidly connected with the first fluid channel 41.
  • a third piston 54 and a fourth piston 55 connected by means of a second connecting rod 56 are arranged in the second bore.
  • the third piston and the fourth piston are arranged on either side of the second aperture 53, preventing fluid from entering the first fluid channel 41 and thus the expandable space 10.
  • the second bore 51 is arranged in parallel to the first bore 21, but could be arranged in any angle to the first bore.
  • the third piston 54 and the fourth piston 55 are prevented from moving in the deployment position by a shear pin 59 until the expansion operation starts and a pressure builds up inside the tubular metal part 7; when a predetermined pressure is obtained in the well tubular metal structure 3 acting on the third piston 54, the shear pin is sheared, and the third piston and the fourth piston move, providing fluid communication between the first aperture 52 and the second aperture 53 and fluid communication to the first bore 21.
  • the shear pin function is arranged in an additional shear pin valve block (shown in Fig. 5 ) in fluid communication with the second aperture and arranged fluidly between the expansion opening 11 and the second aperture.
  • the shear pin could also be replaced by a shear disc arranged in the fluid communication between the expansion opening and the second aperture.
  • the second bore 51 further comprises a third aperture 57 in fluid communication with the annulus 2 and a fourth aperture 58 in fluid communication with the expandable space, as shown in Fig. 4A .
  • the third piston 54 and the fourth piston 55 are both arranged on one side of the third aperture 57 and the fourth aperture 58, providing fluid communication between the third and fourth apertures.
  • the role of the third piston 54 and the fourth piston 55 is also to ensure that there is no trapped pressure in the annular barrier, i.e.
  • the third aperture 57 and the fourth aperture 58 are in fluid communication on the "back" side of the third piston 54 and the fourth piston 55 as the second aperture 53 is arranged on the "front" side of the third piston 54 and the fourth piston 55, while the third piston 54 and the fourth piston 55 are arranged on either side of the second aperture.
  • the pressure-intensifying unit 20 further comprises a first chamber 61 having a first chamber opening 68 fluidly connected to the second bore part 24 for accumulating fluid from the second bore part.
  • the first chamber is a kind of accumulating chamber or accumulator.
  • the first chamber has a second chamber opening 69 fluidly connected with the first fluid channel 41, and the first chamber comprises a first chamber piston 62 being spring-loaded by means of a spring 63 so that the first chamber piston is forced towards the first chamber opening 68.
  • the first chamber piston is allowed to move between the first chamber opening 68 and the second chamber opening 69.
  • the first chamber is able to accumulate fluid in the second bore part 24 which cannot bypass the second piston 26 in the second fluid channel 42 when the second piston 26 moves in the second direction.
  • This is primarily the situation which may occur towards the end of the movement in the second direction as shown in Fig. 4C , where the first piston 25 moves the sequence piston 30, blocking the fifth opening 35 even though the second piston has not moved entirely to the end (as shown in Fig. 4D ), and the remaining fluid can then enter the first chamber.
  • no fluid/liquid is trapped preventing the second piston from moving to the end, and the first piston is not prevented from moving the sequence piston to the second sequence position opening for fluid passage to push the piston unit 22 in the first direction.
  • the first chamber is thus a safety precaution to ensure that the sequence piston is able to move to the second sequence position.
  • the first chamber piston is preloaded by the pressure in the expansion fluid pressing through the second chamber opening 69 and on the first chamber piston.
  • the pressure-intensifying unit 20 further comprises a second chamber 64 fluidly connected to the second bore part 24 via the first chamber 61.
  • the second chamber comprises a third chamber opening 70 in fluid communication with the first chamber.
  • the second chamber comprises a fourth chamber opening 67 fluidly connected with the annulus 2, and the second chamber comprises a second chamber piston 65 being spring-loaded by means of a spring 66 so that the second chamber piston is forced towards the fluid connection to the second bore part, i.e. towards the first chamber opening 68, and forced to move between the third chamber opening 70 and the fourth chamber opening 67.
  • the second chamber 64 By having a second chamber 64 with a spring-loaded second chamber piston 65, the second chamber is able to provide pressurised fluid in the second bore part 24 to press the piston unit fully to the second non-return valve 29 and push the sequence piston 30 to the first sequence position.
  • the second chamber piston 65 experiences annulus pressure from the fourth chamber opening 67 and expansion pressure (pressure from the tubular metal part 7 through the expansion opening 11) through the third chamber opening 70, and when the sequence piston is opposite the fifth opening 35 as shown in Fig. 4E , the fluid may be prevented from entering the second fluid channel 42 and from pressing on the second piston to move the piston unit further towards the second non-return valve.
  • the sequence piston 30 may then not be fully moved to the first sequence position, and then the pressure difference across the second chamber piston will force the second chamber piston to move, increasing the pressure in the second bore part 24 in fluid communication with the second chamber through the first chamber opening. In this way, the movement of the sequence piston from the position shown in Fig. 4E to the position shown in Fig. 4F is completed, i.e. the first sequence position is ensured so that the movement cycle of the pressure-intensifying unit is completed.
  • the piston unit 22 and thus the first piston 25 and the second piston 26 have to move back and forth 500-5000 times, and the seals of these pistons are therefore preferably metal seals, ceramic seals or similar seals able to withstand such load.
  • Figs. 5A and 5B disclose a shear element valve block 130 having a first block opening 116 in fluid communication with the expansion opening 11 and a block piston 121 having a through-bore 126 in which a shear disc 124 is arranged.
  • a second block opening 117 is in fluid communication with the first fluid channel 41 in Figs. 2A-4F so that, in the first block position shown in Fig. 5A , fluid from the expansion opening is let into the pressure-intensifying unit 20, and in a second block position, as shown in Fig. 5B , the shear element valve block prevents the fluid from entering since the fluid communication between the opening 116 and the opening 117 is blocked.
  • the sixth opening 36, the third aperture 57 and the fourth chamber opening 67 may all be fluidly connected with the annulus 2 through a shuttle valve unit 111, e.g. the one shown in Fig. 6 , having a first inlet 125 fluidly connected with the first zone 101 of the annulus and a second inlet 126 fluidly connected with the second zone 102 of the annulus, and an outlet 127 fluidly connected to the sixth opening, the third aperture 57 and/or the fourth chamber opening 67.
  • the shuttle valve unit 111 has a movable element 20b shuttling from the first valve position where the first inlet is in fluid communication with the outlet and the second valve position where the second inlet is in fluid communication with the outlet.
  • the shuttle valve unit may be any kind of valve unit having these two valve positions.
  • the annular barrier 1 may be part of a downhole system 100 as shown in Fig. 1 , where the downhole system comprises a well tubular metal structure 3 and the above-mentioned annular barrier, and where the tubular metal part 7 is mounted as part of the well tubular metal structure.
  • the downhole system 100 may have a plurality of annular barriers even though not shown.
  • fluid or well fluid any kind of fluid that may be present in oil or gas wells downhole, such as natural gas, oil, oil mud, crude oil, water, etc.
  • gas any kind of gas composition present in a well, completion or open hole
  • oil any kind of oil composition, such as crude oil, an oil-containing fluid, etc.
  • Gas, oil and water fluids may thus all comprise other elements or substances than gas, oil and/or water, respectively.
  • a casing or well tubular metal structure is meant any kind of pipe, tubing, tubular, liner, string, etc., used downhole in relation to oil or natural gas production.
