Definitions

  • This invention relates to a flow tube and more particularly a flow tube of an apparatus for use in providing a liquid seal around a variable diameter conduit which may be moved through the apparatus.
  • Wireline refers to a strand of wire that is used to run a variety of tools down a wellbore for several purposes. It is used during well intervention and monitoring operations in the oil and gas industry.
  • Wirelines are electric cables that transmit data about the well and are used for both intervention and formation evaluation operations.
  • a liquid seal stuffing box incorporating a grease injection control head is used to provide a pressure seal around the wireline cable thereby preventing escape of well fluids to the environment.
  • the grease injection control head is typically deployed on top of the pressure control equipment used to control pressure in the well.
  • the control head typically comprises a housing with a bore extending from one end to the other.
  • a flow tube assembly comprising a plurality of steel flow tubes extend through the bore providing a path for the slick line through the housing.
  • the methodology for this sealing mechanism is to pump a high viscous grease into the tight annulus between the outer surface of the cable and the inner surface of the flow tubes.
  • the flow tube assemblies consists of a number of close fitting steel tubes through which the wire line passes. Each flow tube is approximately 14 inches (35.5cm) long and these are slipped onto the wire and connected together with a fast collar connection to build up the required length.
  • Viscous grease is injected between the inner surface of the bore of the flow tube and the outside of the wire and travels along the length of the flow tube stack creating a pressure drop.
  • Grease injection pressure can then be increased to about 20% - 25% more than the well pressure to create a liquid seal that allows the wire to move but prevents the escape of well fluids.
  • the inside diameter of the flow tubes needs to be from 0.003 to 0.008 inches (0.0076 to 0.02 cm) larger than the actual wire diameter for the seal to be effective so the flow tubes must be selected based on the wire being used. As the diameter of the wireline increases, the internal diameter of the flow tubes must therefore be increased.
  • the geometry and the viscosity combine to provide sufficient back pressure that can be practically maintained by the grease control head such that the pressure generated exceeds the pressure of the well.
  • the well pressure is effectively controlled and the escape of well fluids is prevented providing the grease pressure exceeds the well.
  • With the seal in place it is then possible to deploy or remove the wire into the well to perform the necessary downhole operation.
  • the length of the flow tubes required depends on a number of different factors such as the well pressure, the wire size, the flow tube size, the grease viscosity and pump rate.
  • the effectiveness of the seal will depend on the pull out speed of the wire.
  • the relationship for the pressure drop can be expressed mathematically by Couettes flow equation. This shows that the clearance between the wire and the flow tube has a great effect on the pressure drop created as so this is the most important parameter to consider.
  • Figure 1 shows a typical wireline cable passing through a flow tube of a control head.
  • the actual diameter for the wire must be measured and recorded to allow the correct diameter of flow tube to be selected.
  • the condition of the wire must also be considered as mud or rust can cause the wire to swell which would affect the measured diameter of the wire. Consideration also needs to be given to the wear of the flow tubes as these tend to wear in the middle where it is most difficult to measure the bore. All of these factors will affect the efficiency of the grease seal around the wireline and therefore the ability for the control head to seal around the wireline against well pressure.
  • the grease is injected above the first flow tube in the flow tube arrangement and exists after the last one. Since the grease is continuously moving along the flow tubes within the housing, and some is being lost to the well, the injection process is continuous. In order to create sufficient flow rate it may be necessary to inject at two locations depending on the well pressure.
  • the main challenge with this grease sealing method is the relationship between the outside diameter of the cable and the inside diameter of the flow tube. It is desirable to have the annular gap as small as possible but the tolerance on the diameter of the cable and the flow tube must be considered to ensure that the cable does not become stuck. Typically, a gap of 0.006 inch (0.015cm) diameter clearance is sought, which requires careful measurement of the wire and selection of the flow tube bore to ensure safe operation. Within these limitations there would be a need for four or more flow tubes of 12 inch (30.48cm) length to practically seal against typical well head pressures.
  • the number of flow tubes can be varied depending on well fluids (gas) and the clearance that has been used between wire and flow tube and also the viscosity of the grease being used. This can lead to complexities in the planning of the rig up and can also lead to restricted running speed of the wire as that can disrupt the annular flow of the grease.
  • a flow tube for a control head for an apparatus for forming a liquid seal around a conduit, cable or wire for intervention into a well comprising a flexible body capable of stretching to accommodate localised variations in the external diameter of the conduit, cable or wire while maintaining a close contact with the external surface of the conduit, cable or wire.

  • the bore is concentrically aligned with the bore 13 through the outer mandrill of the control head portion.
  • a continuous pathway is formed through the bore of the housing within the outer mandrel.
  • Figure 4 is an enlarged cross sectional view of a part of the metallic housing 14 within the control head portion of the apparatus.
  • a flow tube comprising a flexible liner 16 is mounted within the bore 15 and passes from the opening of the bore at one end of the housing to the other end of the housing.
  • the liner replaces the known rigid flow tube assemblies that are shown in the prior art stuffing box shown in Figure 1 .
  • the liner comprises plastic and or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
  • PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene
  • the liner comprises a coating of metal such as for example bronze or carbon. Bronze has been identified as giving particularly good wear characteristics to the liner.
  • particles of the metal may be incorporated into the material of the flexible liner as it is formed, providing similar attributes to the liner.
  • the liner comprises a plurality of liner sections 17, each section having a substantially T-shaped cross-section. Four such sections are shown in Figure 4 .
  • Each section of liner comprises a first longitudinal portion 18 that extends co-axially within the bore 15 of the housing 14 and a second radial portion 19 that extends perpendicularly from one end of the longitudinal portion.
  • the radial portion of the liner forms an annular lip around one end of the longitudinal portion of the liner.
  • the annular lip is provided substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal portion 18 of the liner.
  • the annular lip of the liner is integrally formed with the longitudinal portion of the liner.
  • Each liner section 17 is mounted within an annular bushing 20. As shown in figure 4 , the annular bushings are mounted within the bore 15 in the housing 14. Each bushing 20 has a cylindrical form with an internal diameter which substantially matches the external diameter of the liner sections 17 and an outer diameter which provides a close fit with the internal diameter of the bore 15.
  • Sealing means are provided between the outer surface of the bushings 20 and the internal surface of the bore 15. As shown in Figure 4 , an annular groove 21 is provided in the outer surface of the bushing and a sealing means such as for example and O-ring or gasket 22 is seated within the groove.
  • Each bushing 20 has a male pin 23 at one end and a female socket 24 at the other such that a number of bushings can be mounted within the bore of the housing, each bushing providing a female socket within which the male pin of the subsequent bushing can locate.
  • the outer diameter of the male pin 23 at the first end of the bushing matches the outer diameter of the annular lip of the liner.
  • the internal diameter of the female socket 24 of the bushing is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the male pin member 23 to enable a male pin member of one bushing to fit closely and be received securely within the female socket of an adjacent bushing.
  • annulus 25 is formed between the outer surface of the liner and the inner surface of the central bore 15 through the housing.
  • the bushings 20 close off the annulus at each end of the housing.
  • the sealing means 22 provided around the bushings provide a seal to close off the annulus.
  • the grease injection ports 9 are provided along the control head portion 4 for injecting grease both into the interior of the liner but also into the annulus formed between the outer surface of the liner and the inner surface of the bore through the housing.
  • Grease return ports are also provided along the control head portion for the return of injected grease from both the interior of the flexible liner and the annulus between the liner and the interior of the housing. Grease is therefore recirculated between the injection ports and the return ports to provide a continuous supply of grease along the length of the wireline as it passes through the liner and also along the annulus between the outer surface of the liner and the inner surface of the housing.
  • the grease injection ports and return ports are standard and work in the same way as in a conventional stuffing box as shown in Figure 2 .
  • a wireline 2 is inserted through the liner 16 within the bore 15 of the housing of the control head portion 4 to provide for intervention into the well.
  • the flexibility of the liner 16 ensures that the liner can accommodate any localised variations in outer diameter of the wireline 2 while still ensuring that the gap between the outer diameter of the wireline and the inner surface of the liner is sufficiently small to allow a supply of high pressure grease to be pumped into the liner to form a grease seal around the wireline.
  • the liner can expand to accommodate any variation in outer diameter of the wireline while still maintaining a light contact on the outer surface of the wireline along the whole length of the liner.
  • Grease is then pumped via the grease injection ports 9 both into the liner between the internal surface of the liner and the wireline, but also around the liner between the outer surface of the liner and the inner surface of the bore of the housing. As grease is injected into the liner, a grease seal is provided around the wireline. As the liner is flexible, any localised variations in the diameter of the wireline can be accommodated and the liner will stretch over any localised area while maintaining a close fit along the whole length of the wireline.
  • the grease exerts a pressure against the end of the first flexible liner section 17 and pushes the flexible liner section forwards such that the annular lip of the flexible liner portion is forced against the female socket 24 of the subsequent bushing 20 mounting the next flexible liner section.
  • the annular lip of the flexible liner section within the subsequent bushing is forced in the same way against the female socket of the next bushing within the housing. This maintains a seal at each annular lip of the respective liner sections against the female socket of the next bushing in the housing.
  • the flexible liner of the present invention can accommodate wireline of a much larger range of diameters.
  • the gap between the cable and the flexible liner acting as a flow tube is always effectively zero and as such the flow rate required is greatly reduced as is the length of the flow tube required.
  • This provides additional benefits of reduced rig heights, the ability to safely seal on a variable diameter of cable and avoid the contact stress on the encapsulated surface of the cable.
  • the present invention can be useful in retrofitting to an existing stuffing box which incorporates rigid flow tube sections such as that shown in Figures 2 of the drawings.
  • the rigid flow tube sections can be stripped out of the housing and a cylindrical housing 14 incorporating a flexible liner 16 as described above can then be mounted in the control head portion.
  • existing equipment can be retrofitted with a flexible liner to provide the same advantages as those described above while avoiding the need to redesign or replace existing equipment. This leads to significant benefits in relation to cost savings as existing equipment can be quickly and efficiently upgraded with the flexible liner of the present invention.
  • the present invention provides significant environmental benefits as there is no need to decommission existing equipment which will significantly reduce wastage of original operating equipment. Reconfiguring existing equipment with the present invention not only ensures that the operating life of the equipment is increased, but also ensures less material is wasted.
  • the flexible liner 16 of the present invention provides for smoother operation of the control equipment, it is anticipated that this will lead to less seepage of grease through the control head portion, thereby reducing the amount of grease lost to the environment surrounding the control head in use, thus leading to a reduction in contamination of the seawater surrounding the subsea control equipment. Therefore, the present invention provides additional environmental advantages over known equipment.
  • the overall length of the string required using rigid flow tube sections can be decreased when replacing the rigid flow tube sections with a flexible liner 16 as described above because the annular gap between the outer surface of the wireline cable and the inner surface of the liner is effectively zero as the flexible liner stretches over any localised variation in diameter of the wireline whilst remaining in close contact with the outer surface of the wireline along the entire length of the wireline cable. Furthermore, as the gap between the outer surface of the cable and the inner surface of the liner is effectively zero, this leads to a reduction in leakage of grease from between the outer surface of the cable and the inner surface of the liner which provides a further significant advantage both in terms of operational costs and also environmental factors.
  • the liner sections may be formed as tubular sections with only a longitudinal portion 18 rather than the T-shaped sections of the previous embodiment.
  • the liner sections are mounted between a bottom sub 26 at one end of the housing and a top sub 27 at the other.
  • a spacer 28 may be provided between the first two flexible liner sections to provide an end stop to locate the liner axially within the housing. As grease is pumped into the liner, this creates a force that pushes each liner section forwards against the end of the next respective tubular liner section.
  • This embodiment may be particularly advantageous for use in operations where the flow tube is required to operate at higher pressures as all of the force applied to the liner sections is transferred through the subsequent sections without any significant axial force being transferred into a radial lip.
  • small holes may be drilled through the side walls of the tubular sections of the liner to further aid in balancing the pressure across the liner, especially when a wireline cable is being removed from the liner.
  • Figure 6 illustrates a liner section in which holes 29 are drilled as described above.
  • the bushings 20 may be redesigned as substantially cylindrical bodies.
  • the bushings at either end of the string would be modified such that the internal diameter of these bushings would be reduced to provide an undercut within the body at each end bushing.
  • the flexible liner of this embodiment would be provided within the bushings and extend from the internal shoulder of the undercut at one end bushing to the internal shoulder of the undercut at the other end bushing.
  • each bushing would similarly be provided with an external annular groove to seat a sealing means such as an O-ring or gasket.
  • the flexible liner can accommodate any localised variations in outer diameter of the wireline thus ensuring that the effective gap between the outer surface of the wireline and the inner surface of the liner is zero thus reducing the flow rate required to maintain a grease seal around the outer surface of the wireline to allow the wireline to move longitudinally within the liner during well operations.
