Abstract

A method and apparatus for stopping at a given level and orienting selected tools at selected depths within a well tubing is presented. The well tubing is equipped with a plurality of tubing connectors located at selected depths with each of the level and orientation stopping connections defining a different internal level stopping profile and having an adjustable skid defining a point facing towards up and an orientation slot and having helical guide ramp surfaces extending from the point towards the orientation slot. A level and orientation stopping tool is adapted for placement in the tubing and said tool has an external tubular body mandrel that positions a plurality of level stopping stops for its level stopping engagement with a level stopping profile of one of the tubing connectors and the positioning of an orientation pin for the guided engagement with the helical guide ramp surfaces and for the engagement of the tool orientation within the orientation slot. The level and orientation stopping tool has an internal tubular actuator mandrel linearly positionable in an actuating position where the level stop stops and the orientation pin can yield radially to pass over internal obstacles in the tubing die and one position of orientation lock are locked in relation to the corresponding level stop profile of a level and orientation stop connection. The tool being actuated passes through the orientation and level stop connections that do not correspond and stops only when the level stop stops have a level stop profile that corresponds to the profile of a level stop connection and orientation

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to wells 3 for the production of petroleum products and more specifically said invention refers to lateral branches from a primary perforation. More specifically, the present invention relates to providing a method and apparatus for stopping at a level and guiding the drilling tool at well depths established by means of casing connectors to enable the efficient performance of subsequent drilling operations. As a specific example, the present invention is useful during the operation of providing multiple rails from a primary perforation and its future reentry at tr = > - '-s of the 3 hole pipe test. A < '< n more specifically, 3 =? invention relates to providing a method and apparatus that has the primary function of positioning, orienting and locking milling or deflection assemblies relative to a level and orientation connection of the well tubing die and locking the apparatus within the stopping profile level of 3rd level connection and selected orientation. DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED TECHNIQUE In oil and gas production wells, either in water or steam wells, conventional methods of diversion that have been used to drill lateral branches from a main drilling generally require the establishment of a device for temporary placement inside the tubing of the primary perforation. A temporary locating device for this purpose may be a shutter, deflection, or have any suitable type of expansion device that is fixed within the well tubing by frictional engagement with the inferred surface of the tubing. Obturators are sometimes unstable due to frictional retention within the tubing, so that they can not be relied upon to provide a reliable depth and orientation reference within the tubing. They remove friction seals to good deviators of this nature, and their reference of angular depth for lateral surfaces is lost, therefore, to enter again on a lateral branch that has been perforated, the depth and angular reference It must be reestablished in a precise way This is often difficult, time consuming and is an expensive procedure that negatively influences the cost of making the well.Therefore, it is desirable to provide the well casing with devices to establish an angular reference and depth permanent and a known orientation from which it is possible to selectively enter the lateral branches again. It is desirable to simplify the construction of multiple lateral drilling branches and reduce the risk of failure during the desalination process. Until a few years ago, virtually all wells drilled and finished for the production of petroleum products were vertical pores. It has recently been found that it is beneficial to drill and compile horizontal or lateral perforations in such a way that a substantial length of the perforation is present in a production formation and consequently, particularly in marginal zones, provide a greater opportunity to produce the petroleum products that are present there, horizontal drilling procedures and equipment have been developed to drill wells that deviate from the vertical to a particular depth and result in the location of a well section that It is horizontal to almost horizontal or selectively oriented to position itself in a production zone More recently well drilling and determination procedures and equipment have been developed to achieve the drilling of mul- ti-ternal branch lines from wells, icamen e wells that have perforations lined with well casing. Typically, multiple strands are drilled by first milling a window in the tubing to a desired depth. A milling diverter is located within the well casing at a selected depth and provides an orientation geometry to guide the diverting of a casing milling tool from a hole designed to cut the hole in a casing window that has an angle. desired for subsequent operations of lateral branch drilling at a desired lateral branch angle and with a desired azimuth. Lateral branches of the well are then drilled from one or more casing windows and completed in order to achieve the desired production of petroleum products. After having drilled the tubing windows and after having removed a drilling diverter that facilitates the milling of a tubing window and the drilling of a lateral branch well of the well tubing, when it is desired to enter the window again In casing, it has been found to be exceedingly difficult to locate such windows and locate the equipment within the well casing to the proper depth and in the proper position to enter the casing windows and achieve operations on lateral branches. To re-enter a lateral branch, a diverting tool, such as a milling diverter, deflector reader or similar to one, must be precisely passed. Desired depth of hole and must be rotated precisely with respect to the desired azimuth of the lateral branch to be drilled. Such pssic lonami ept is quite comp 1? C -ido and requires a lot of time to be achieved. Even in the case of small errors in the location of the diverter, it is likely that the re-entry of the tool does not reach the tubing window or is placed on the edges of the window. It is also likely that these small errors will cause the tool to be slightly mal-responsive from the point of view of the azimuth or inclination such that branch drilling is not accurately traced by it. tool. It is therefore desirable to provide a device for posi- tively locating the shaft well drilling and terminating equipment within a well casing to facilitate the drilling of side branch wells and which, after removal or drilling equipment, will be able to be drilled. Well shaft casing shaft, facilitate the precise location of • the length and 3rd orientation of precise rotation of various types of equipment for a re-entry of the lateral branch with precision. It is also desired to offer a device for efficiently drilling and terminating lateral branch perforations to facilitate the simple and efficient repairing of a well having multiliter branch perforations at depths and azi ztes selected for its completion and Subsequent production, as well as provide a new efficient entry of multiliter branches selected for well service activities. COMPENDIUM OF THE I VENTION It is a main characteristic of the present invention to offer a method and apparatus that allows the orientation and stoppage of a tool at a selected level within a plurality of; Orientation ions and level stop of a well casing row in such a way that well tools supported and positioned there will be used efficiently to carry out activities in the well that require orientation at a specified angle. It is another feature of the present invention to have a novel level stop orientation tool which is driven to connect with a diverter in the 3s of the window milling in the tubing and adapted for connection to a diverter diverter in the tubing. the passage of a reentry operation from ra to the laterals. It is also a feature of the present invention to offer a novel velocity-stop tool that has the facility to select one of a plurality of level stop and orientation con- nections of a well casing while passing other orientation and level stop connections for 3rd selective placement of a tool connected to it at a desired depth within the well casing. It is a further aspect of the present invention to provide a novel orientation level stop tool which has level stop stops of a particular profile that allows the tool to stop at a given level within a cane; Orientation and stoppage of the level of the well end that has a corresponding profile while passing the leveling and orientation stopping onei ions that have different profiles. It is another feature of the present invention to provide a plurality of level and orientation stopping connectors connected at various selected depths within a tubing die and one to one having an adjustable skid device defining a tubing. e < upper pointed spine and defining an orientation groove and having curved guide ramps that extend opposite from the tip to the orientation groove and that function to establish the angular orientation of a well tool passing through the connection Stop level and orientation. It is a further feature of the present invention to provide a novel orientation level stopping tool having an orientation pin that projects radially therefrom and that is adapted to engage curved line ramps of an adjustable skate of a level and orientation stop connection and for engaging within the orientation slot of a fitting shoe to provide effective tool orientation in relation to the level and orientation stop connection. It is a further and additional aspect of the present invention to provide a novel locking tool which has an orientation pin that defines a generally pointed end facing downward defining a surface. Angularly oriented roller bearings that are oriented at said angle that the angle of Hs helical curved guide ramps of the adjustable slide of a level and orientation connection to provide a supporting function as well as a guide function in relation to the 3rd helical guide ramp that is being engaged. Briefly, the various objects and features of the present invention are realized through the provision of a tubing connection that does not lose pressure connected to the bottom of a tubing section whose purpose is to open for deflection. This special tubing connection is designed and constructed in such a way that tools can be located and oriented accurately and reliably in relation to the local coordinates of the well at the location of the lateral branch. The level and orientation stop device consists of a centering section that determines the working position or placement of tools in the cross-sectional plane of the well to one or that of a ram junction. Another characteristic provides the ability to construct a reference area c? 3 índpca with narrow tolerances at the top of the level and orientation stopping device to allow various tools and devices to be located within the well casing with considerable precision from the point of view of depth and angular orientation. A longitudinal indication system is provided which determines the working location or placement of tools 3 along the longitudinal axis of the primary bore by providing a circular internal groove having a specific profile 3 with which corresponding pins may be worn or worn. The work tool or col ction as is real will usually be in production tubing pipelines. An orientation locator is also designed which determines the angular position of the work tools to be placed around the longitudinal axis of the primary perforation. This orientation locator proposes, an orientation groove located at the bottom of a cam profile so that a corresponding orientation pin of a tool passing through the perforation tubing can fit into the orientation slot from any angular position by means of a cam edge orientation of an orientation device known as a "justeable skate". This angular reference again copies the position of 3 orientation pin on the outside of the connection. The duck connection and the orientation of the tubing connection that does not lose pressure provides an internal locking area that allows work tools or fixtures to be set at the preset position relative to the level stop connection. and orientation. The longitudinal groove 4e is used to support forces developed by the tools along and perpendicular to the axis of the primary bore. In the same way, the torque developed by the tools is supported by the orientation slot, corresponding pins are provided in working or positioning tools and are designed in such a way that the tools can be seated in only one of a number of connections predef inadas by means of the coincidence of the profile of the corresponding pins with the profile of the respective seats. Conversely, a level stop and individual orientation tubing connection may have a specific pin profile and the tools may be equipped with a standard pin that can match any of a given set of connections. This feature is commonly used in various termination tools in the well. The location, orientation, and orientation tubing connection may have an additional feature that allows the orientation pin to adjust in orientation at the well site when the tubing die is constructed. This important feature allows batteries of several tubing sections equipped with their respective pa, level and orientation connections are oriented in relation to each other with a desired relative angle of motion. The no-stop tubing connection and orientation may have an additional feature that isolates it from the torque produced in the connection below the orientation pin. This feature allows the orientation of the entire upper section of the 3rd row of tubing or of part of it when the tubing is placed in the perforation so that the arcion of the friction torque can not be taken into consideration. the lower section of the tubing row. This can be achieved by integrating a rotary connection at the lower end of the level and orientation stop connection. The level connection and orientation can be fixed on the tubing section with threaded ends, in the same way as in the case of conventional tubing connections. It is also possible to construct the stop section of level and orientation in the same part as the tubing section whose purpose is to make a lateral connection. The level and orientation stop connection does not alter the standard mechanical properties of a tubing die. The tubing row can support the required number of level and orientation stop connections to construct one or more lateral branches during the construction of the well. Some connections can be installed to provide future branch construction. As an additional alternative, lateral branches can be constructed just after the placement of the tubing row in the perforation and its foundation in place or, alternatively, it can be constructed later during the third way of the well from the connections with the same. of level and orientation that are provided in the well casing for that purpose. The same concept is applied recursively to branches, which means one or several lateral branches can be constructed following the same technique in a primary lateral branch. The tubing connection section can be of any standard steel tubing used for the tubing of wells. It can also be made from any material that would facilitate the process of creating branches in particular by facilitating the tubular window cutting procedure to start the construction of the lateral well. The connection section and tubing may also be combined with any prefabricated branch line forming element or, for example, in pre-stressed tubing or composite connections which are installed in line with the primary tubing. From the point of view of the apparatus, it is provided It connects a well tubing which is connected thereto at well-sealed depths with a plurality of piped connectors each having a different internal level stop profile. A level stop orientation tool is provided that has replaceable level stop stops that have a level stop profile that corresponds to the profile of one of the level and orientation stop ions in the well of ta3 so that when the level-orientation stop tool moves through the well, avoids cutting: level and orientation stop ions that do not have an internal level stop profile that corresponds and stops at a level and orientation stop connection which has a profile that corresponds to the profile of the level stop stops. When the child-stop tool enters each of the ^ >; nozzle stop connections and orientation of the tubing die, a tool orientation pin will be engaged on a helical guide ramp of an adjustable skate within the level and orientation stop connection and will be rotated by 3a action of the guide ramp to a predetermined angular position for entry into an adjustable skate orientation slot. If the tool that has entered a cone; With the stop level and orientation of the tubing row with a level stop profile that does not correspond, the orientation pin will leave the orientation slot as the tool follows its movement towards the bottom of the hole. When the ptopping-stop tool has entered a cone; level and orientation stop ion with an internal level stop profile that corresponds to the level of stop stop ion level with which the equipment is equipped, the tool can be locked in relation to the internal level stop profile of the level and orientation stop connection to allow the realization of l = - > Selected well operations, such as, for example, the milling of the windows and tubing and the re-entry of lateral branches of wells. The level-orientation stop tool can subsequently be unlocked from the internal profile of the level and orientation stop connection in such a way that it can be removed from the well. When it is desired to remove the level and orientation stop connection, the mechanism of the tool responds to a force of fraction of a predetermined amount to unblock the stop stops level from the perf i 3 of pare, internal level of the tubing connector, thereby releasing the tool for extraction from the tubing. The tool can be adapted to stop leveling with another of the many connections ci pa. level and orientation simply by changing the tool level stop stops so that level stop stops are provided that have a level stop profile that corresponds to the internal level stop profile of a connector. 3 installed between the tubing connectors of the tubing row,) The vel-open t.c ion stop tool of this invention is specifically useful during the operation of constructing multilayer branches from a borehole and for the subsequent reentry of multilateral wellbores through the pipeline. Even though it is useful to carry many different activities in the well, the main function of the tool of stoppage of non-velocity, in accordance with what is described here, is the positioning, orientation and blocking of assemblies. of casing or diverting window router inside the stop connection of level and orientation. At least one and preferably a plurality of level stop and orientation connections will be located in the perforation at selected depths and will be connected in the tubing die as integral components thereof. The stop tool of i el-o tentac ion provides the precise positioning of a 'mill diverter in the case of window milling operations or a deflector diverter in the case of a lateral reentry operation. I connect it; Level and orientation duck system consists of the body of the connector itself that has threaded threads for connection to well tubing sections and sfa provides internally with an adjustable skid that has helical guide surfaces to guide a pin. orientation and therefore rotate the level-orientation stop tool until the pin encounters a longitudinal orientation slot. A desired level stop configuration profile is provided in l a. inner part of the body of the curie; I n stop level and orientation. The vibration-freeing tool consists of a main body mandrel having a plurality, typically three level stop stops and an orientation pin projecting externally from the body mandrel to engage with the corresponding internal profile of the level and orientation stop connection that is defined by means of the level stop connector From the operational point of view, in accordance with a possible method of operation of the equipment, one row ae tubing consisting of level and orientation stopping connections stacked in line with conventional tubing and tubing connections => lowered in drilled, fixed and cemented tub The number of level and orientation stop connections and the position in The tubing width of these connectors is recorded during the production of the tubing row, in each case, when several levels of level stop or stop must be continually stacked. In the sense of direction, the angular reference of each connection must be recorded to facilitate the subsequent construction of branch perforations, to rection rates as well as to subsequent reentries. In the case of the use of adjustable pins, each level stop and orientation connection is adjusted with reference to a lower stop and level stop connection. The row of tubing is lowered in 3 rd fora ion. The cementing of the ring was achieved with a preference for a cementing row through the skid plate and through the upper part of the ring to avoid any cement contamination of the level and orientation stop connections within the tubing. A revision of the address can be carried out, preferably by means of a wireline tool to accurately locate the depth and orientation of one or several specific level and orientation stop connections, the results of the monitoring can be used to prea use the tool orientation pin that supports the diverter another deflection tool. A derailleur equipped with a no-stop tool on its side is put in place and a side window is cut in the tubing, preferably by means of a milling operation. E3 bottom hole assembly can include a rotary connection that allows the rim tool to neither rotate when it engages the cam profile of the stop connection nor the >and oientation. Such rotation can also be achieved by the use of a positive displacement motor, either by a turbine or by another motor in the borehole in the pit bottom assembly fixed on the stop tool of neither the operator nor the operator. "After the opening of a window in the tubing section, a drill assembly pierces the lateral branch using any type of shaft. drilling technique i rece ion 1 suitable to the conditions that are desired for the lateral branch. The branch can be covered with a lining, if desired, or it can be left open. After the branch perforation is completed, the diverter is removed and other branches of the well can be constructed the same way. It can subsequently be re-entered into a branch, in a subsequent arrow, by simply placing a deflection tool in the respective connection of level stop and orientation in such a way that the equipment which will 3 in the tubing will deviate from the tubing of the primary step, through the third tubing window and in the respective branch perforation. A terminating mechanism such as a flow diverter, flow restriction element, or an artificial lifting device or other driving devices can be installed permanently or temporarily in a level and orientation stop connection without that no additional fixing system is required. A plug that isolates the lower part of the primary well tubing or a specific ram drilling from the upper primary well can be installed permanently or temporarily in a level-and-direction stop connection without requiring any additional system of fi ation Accordingly, the fact of providing a primary well tubing with level and orientation stop connections in the above-mentioned manner provides simply and efficiently several construction, service and operation techniques for wells that require angular alignment and precise depth. of the devices inside the well tubing.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED MODE With reference now to the drawings and first to figures i, 2A and 2B , a stop-and-go tool or temptation that represents the principles of the present invention is generally illustrated at 11 and has at its upper end an upper coupling 32 adapted at 14 for connection to a service tool, shown in FIGS. FIGS. 6A, for the purpose of placing the level-orientation stop tool in a well casing 16 illustrated in FIG. 2A. As another aspect of the present invention, the well casing 16 is equipped with a level and orientation stop connection 18 having its upper and lower ends in a threaded connection with sections of the well casing 16 in such a way that the connection Stop level and orientation 18 becomes an integral component of the well casing row. The level and orientation stop connection 18, in accordance with the present invention, is equipped with a particular internal level stop profile 20 which is adapted to be engaged by a plurality of level 23 stop stops, each having a profile corresponding to the internal level stop profile of the level and orientation stop connection. As shown particularly in FIGS. 2A and 2B, and as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the temp stop tool 11 defines a main body mandrel 22 of an elongated tubular configuration and having in its its bottom end a bottom cover 24 connected by means of a threaded connection 26. At its upper end, the main body mandrel 22 is equipped with an externally threaded section 28 to which an upper cover 30 is connected defining a central opening 32. E3 main body mandrel 22 defines a blocking section? 8 tubular 34 having therein a plurality of locking windows as shown in figure 38, equally spaced around the locking section 34. A plurality of stoppers df stoppage 23 are installed in a replaceable manner in assembly within the tool and position themselves with portions thereof extending through locking windows 38 such that the outer profile 40 of each level stop stop 23 is exposed externally in relation to the locking section 34 and by Thereafter, it is posi- tioned for a locking engagement with the internal velocity stop profile 20 of a corresponding connection of the level and orientation stop connections 18. As explained in more detail below, each of the plurality of connections of l1-! However, the orientation and orientation 18 that is employed in the well casing 36 will have a different internal profile and consequently PGA operatively engaged by the stop stops of a stop tool or the orientation only if the stops of level stop have a profile that corresponds to the internal profile of a particular level and orientation stop connection. This feature of the invention will be more apparent when reviewing the detailed discussion presented below in connection with Figures 10-15. 5 The main body mandrel wall in the > :! e ^ > or Lock 34 defines a shoulder projection 44 in each of the locking opening 38 that extends beyond the lower end of the locking opening and thus provides a restraining shoulder to restrain movement toward the exterior of the stops. Stop level 23. Accordingly, each of the level stop stops 23 can move radially outwardly only to the extent permitted by the shoulder projection 44. The upper end of each of the level stop stops 23 is limited in the same way by the lower end 46 of the upper cover 30 which extends beyond the upper end of the blocking window and thus provides a restriction of the e; The upper stops of the level stop stops 23. Each one of the stop stops of level 23 can, however, move radially inwards from the position shown in FIGS. 2A, 8 and 9, by > - > example, to allow the stop stops in level to pass internal objects into the well casing, including clearance of a cone profile; I n level stop and internal orientation of a tubing connector that does not correspond to the profile of stop stops ci level. A pair of compression springs 4 B and 50 is provided for each of the pa or level stops, with respective ends 52 and 54 being located within respective spring receptacles. The internal ends ÍO 56 and 58 of each of the compression springs 48 and 50 are received within spring recesses of respective spring reaction plates 60 which are provided for each of the level stop stops 23. At its lower end, the No 22 body mandrel defines an orientation window 62 within which a steering pin 64 is radially pushed outwardly by a pair of compression springs 66 and 68. The outer ends 70 are movably positioned. and 72 of the compression springs are located within receptacles for the orientation spits 64 with the inner ends 74 and 76 located within spring receptacles? of the spring reaction plate 78. The orientation or guide 64 is constrained at its upper end by a restriction projection 80 of the main body mandrel 22 which is located above ii upper part of the orientation window 62 and is restricted at its lower end by the upper end part 82 of the bottom cover 24. In the absence of other forces, the compression springs 66 and 68 maintain the orientation pin 64 projecting it radially outwards in the maximum amount allowed by the restriction projections 80 and 82, as shown in Figure 2. In the case of obstructions For example, tubing connections, level and orientation stop connection profiles, tubing windows and the like that can be encountered during tool travel, the orientation pin 64 will come into contact with these obstructions and will move radi In this case, inwardly inwardly against the compression of the springs 66 and 68, to allow the orientation pin 64 to trip 3 as the tool is released into the tubing die. To help i iona} With the clogging passage capacity of the orientation pin 64, the upper and lower ends 84 and 86 of the orientation pin 64 have a tapered configuration thereby providing a. Such cam-like activity during the movement of the tool in relation to an internal obstruction of the casing in such a way that the internal obstruction develops a force that pushes the orientation pin 64 radially inward against the compression of the springs 66 and 68 of the casing. Such a way that it passes over the obstruction and prevents the tool from hanging. The tool for stoppage of the velor orifice 11 is equipped with an elongate internal mandrel 88 having the upper end thereof extending to through the central opening 32 of the mandrel of the main body 22 and the lower end thereof extending through the opening 2-5 defi spcia by the bottom cover 24. The internal mandrel 88 can be linearly displaced within } main body mandrel 22 within limits defined by a pair of guide grooves 90 and 92 engaged by the internal parts of a pair of guide screws 94 and 96 that are threadably received within chucks of mandrel guide screw 22 of main body. The inner mandrel 88 is of a tubular configuration, defining a central flow passage 98 through which the fluid is allowed to flow. At its lower end, 3rd level-orientation stop connection 18 is equipped with a sub-assembly of adjustable skid 100 having a connection welded at 102 to the lower end of the level and orientation stop connecting body and providing a " curved guide geometry "located internally d 3 tubing connector and which is known in the art as" adjustable skid ", which serves the purpose of rotationally orienting an object that moves downward in the stop connection of level and orientation . Typically, the adjustable shoe will be in a welded assembly within the tubing connector by a circumferential weld bead 10, even though it may be in a connection or it may be connected to the tubing casing by any other suitable means. The lower end of the aj -it-ible skid sub-frame 300 has an internal thread for connection to a >section- Pore-pocketed 16 and is positioned sufficiently far beyond the bottom end of the bottom cover 24 to define an internal receptacle 104 for receiving a fin member 1 fixed on the lower end of the inner mandrel 88 by means of IOS locking bolts 110. The lower rowing member of the fin member 106 is tapered as it is at 112 to provide the third guide of the nozzle stopper tool 11 as it descends in the row of tubing. and in the foremost level and orientation stop connection 18, E3 member fin 306 may be fi xed on the lower end of the internal mandrel 88 by any other suitable device without departing from the spirit or scope of the a. present invention. The inner mandrel 88 is movable within a low position as shown in FIG. S and a locked position as shown in FIG. 9. In the released condition, the fin member 106 is retained in the locked position. a substantial support with the lower end of the bottom cap 24 by means of a plurality of shear bolts 114 and 136 fixed within suitable receptacles of the bottom layer 24 and having projecting shear elements. the corresponding defined at the lower end of the inner mandrel 88 is shown as shown in FIGS. 2B and 8. In the locking position of the internal mandrel 88. or is shown in the fineness. 9, a sufficient downward force will have been applied on the inner mandrel 88 to cut the displacement shear bolts 114 and 116 and thereby allow the downward movement of the inner mandrel 88 from the sliding position shown in the figure 8 to 3a locking position illustrated in FIG. 9. The internal mandrel 88 defines a pair of spaced receptacles 118 and 120, each having tapered upper and lower walls and adapted to receive receiving end portions 122 and 124 of the orientation pin. 64 when the internal mandrel 88 is in the tweeters i > The displacement ion relative to the main body mandrel 22 is shown in FIG. 8. In this position, the orientation pin 64 can plan radially inward against the compression of its springs 66 and 68 in the case of an object is encountered during the movement of the tool through the row of tubing. When the inner mandrel 88 had been moved down towards the position illustrated in FIG. 9, when the displacement shear bolts 134 and 116 were cut, the receptacles 318 and 320 would be out of correspondence with the appropriate end portions 122. and 124 of orientation pin 4 as shown in the figure < ? in such a way that the upper and lower ends of the orientation pin 64 will be restricted in relation to a radial movement inwardly by the external cylindrical surface 326 of the internal mandrel 88 and consequently blocked in the maximum radial extension thereof. Obviously, the orientation pin 64 in the position illustrated in FIG. 9 will be located within the bottom portion of an orientation slot defined by the adjustable shoe such that the torque-orientation tool 11 will be oriented to rotating shape in relation to the tubing 16. This feature will be described in greater details below in relation to the detailed description of the adjustable slide and the ratio of the slow stop tool -or slow motion 31 with e3 p > Adjustable tine according to the third tool is moved to its level stop position within the selected level and orientation stop connection 38. An intermediate portion of the internal mandrel 88 defines receptacles for receiving upper and lower end portions respective to each of them. stop stops of level 23, when the slow stop tool 13 is in its travel condition as shown in figure 8. As shown, the internal mandrel 88 defines upper and lower receptacle tines 128 and 130 of tapered wall that are adapted to receive the e; respective displacements 332 and 134 of the associated stop stop 23 associated with the receptacles are positioned in relation to the main body mandrel 22 in the condition of displacement of the tool as shown in FIG. 8. Therefore, when the ends respective inclines 126 or 138 the stop stops of level 23 find an object inside the well casing during the tool deployment operation, the inclined forward ends of the stop stops of level 23 cause the stops to move radially inward against the force of the compression springs 48 and 50 and thereby allowing the level stop stops 23 to grip the object without causing the tool to hang from the object. As soon as the obstruction has been passed and the internal force is visited on the stop stops of level 23, the compression springs 48 and 50 fold. z 3 r'án again the stops of pars of level 23 radially towards > - »l external to the maximum limit allowed by the restriction elements 44 and 46» Therefore, when the tool is traveling through a 13-row row orientation orientation connection, if the profile The internal stop connection level and orientation does not correspond to the external profile of the level stop stops, the level or level stops will simply yield inwardly and will not settle within the profile of the connection Stop level and orientation. When this condition occurs, the tool will simply be displaced through the level and orientation stop connection and will continue to be sheared down the tube row until it penetrates a level and orientation stop connection that has a profile corresponding to the profile stop stops level. When a level and orientation stop connection having a corresponding internal level stop profile is found, the compression springs 48 and 50 will displace the stop stops at level 23 radially outward to their maximum magnitude by engaging this form totally ls stop stops of n? ve3 23 with the corresponding internal profile of the connection of stop level and orientation 38 as shown in figures 8 and 9. Citing is a level stop connector that has a corresponding level stop profile, stop stops of level 23 will settle within the corresponding profile ^ -will oppose an additional downward movement of the tool. Deap is the settlement of the level-orientation stop tool in this way, when a sufficient force is applied to the tool of stop of velocity orientization by means of a tool of displacement, s > They will cut the displacement shear points and 134 and 116. A3 cut l s ß screws 134 and 116 the shear displacement force, the internal mandrel 88 will move down towards the blocked pinion illustrated in figure 3? thus causing the receptacles 128 and 130 of the inner mandrel 88 to move downward towards a position of misalignment of the receptacles relative to the displaced ends 132 and 334 of 3 stop stops of level 23. This causes the ends displaced from the level stop stops are supported against radially internal movement by the external cylindrical surface 126 of the internal mandrel 88 as shown in 3a figure 9. In this condition of the tool, the level stop stops 23 will be locked in a safe and secure relationship with the corresponding internal level stop profile of level and orientation stop connection 18. E3 upper link 32 can be of the configuration illustrated in Figure 2A and can be connect to: i to e; The upper end of the internal mandrel 88 is provided by means of a threaded connection 33. In the same manner as shown in FIGS. 8, 9 and 10, the upper coupling can have the configuration illustrated in 340, being connected to the e: upper end of internal mandrel 88 by a cone; Threaded element 142 and having a lower circular support 144 placed for a supporting contact with the upper end element * 146 of the upper cover '. The intermediate part of the upper coupling 140 is displaced at 148 defining an inner receptacle 150 to receive a portion of lower diameter amp > 3? 152 of a service or recovery tool 154. Accordingly, the upper coupling 140 fixes the lower end of the service or recovery tool 154 on the internal mandrel 88 and allows the internal mandrel to be manipulated upwards or downwards or the tool to be lowered into the tubing according to the configuration of the level and orientation stop connection found by the tool. The tool can be provided with a sealing or packing capability inside the tubing. To achieve this purpose, a capper 156 is arranged around the upper coupling 140 with a lower ircul section 358 thereof which is normally understood below the lower extremities of the upper coupling 140 as shown in FIG. 8. When the mandrel of FIG. Prmc? pa3 22 has been stopped within the level and orientation stop connection 18 by the stop stops of level 23 which engage the corresponding internal level stop profile, the internal mandrel 88 is moved or down to lock the main body mandrel 22 in the cone; Orientation level stop motion 38. In the final portion of this stroke, the lower end of the lower circular section 158 of the capper 156 will come into contact with the upper end 146 of the top cap 30. A movement Further descending of the inner mandrel will bring the lower end of the upper coupling 140 into a supporting engagement with the upper end of the upper cap 30 and cause the compression of a capper seal 360 by deforming the capper to the condition illustrated in FIG. 9 and causing a sufficient radial expansion of the cap seal to cause its seal engagement with the inner wall surface of the tubing 16 immediately above the level and orientation stop connector. Conversely, the capper seal 160 will return to its original condition 3, not sealing, as shown in 3a figure 8 when an upward movement of 3 a service or recovery tool 154 is made. Inside the top cap 30 , a plurality of ratchet segments 162 are provided as shown in Figure 2A which are placed around the outer cylindrical surface of the intern mandrel 88 and, a. 1 move up the internal mandrel 88, they are driven in a restrictive engagement with the inner mandrel 88 by a tapered inner surface 164 of the ratchet detent 166. The detent catch 16 is fixed on the upper wall 30 medially. of one. plurality of releasing shear bolts 168 received within suitable receptacles in the top cap 30 and having internal shear limbs engaging with appropriate recesses of the ratchet detent 166. When releasing shear bolts 368 they have been cut by sufficient force upwards in the internal mandrel 88 by the service or recovery tool, the ratchet segments 162 will release their grip relationship with the outer surface of the inner mandrel 88 and thereby allow the inner mandrel to be moved upwardly relative to the main body mandrel 22 until the end portions disengage 3 * >; To this, the force upwards on the stop stops of level 23 will be able to move in the receptacles 128 and 130 of the internal mandrel 88. In this condition, the force upwards on the stopping stops of level 23 will apply. = t a cam-like reaction on the corresponding inclined surfaces 370 thus causing the pa or level ji to move radially inward to their unlocked positions. When this has occurred, the nozzle stop tool can be moved upward for recovery from the well casing. Figures 3-7 are essentially schematic illustrations of various aspects of the present invention. However, for detailed details, the structure of the mechanism illustrated in Figures 1-2B, 8 and 9 should be considered. The service tool for the inti la tion of the stoppage tool 11 is illustrated in Figures 6, 6A and 7. In Figure 3, a well casing 16 and a connection of level and orientation pairs 18 in a threaded connection are shown. Figure 4 illustrates a stopping tool of neither the orientation 13 in accordance with the first invention that is lowering in the tubing 16 and which supports a cutter diverter 21 having a window milling apparatus 2 for milling operations. in tubing. 1.3 level 11 stop orientation tool is presented with its level 23 retracted stops and in re3a?

The perforation line supporting the window milling apparatus 27 may include a cone; What is it that allows the slower speed stop tool? 11 and the apparatus that 3a carries turn freely both in the direction of the clockwise direction and in the bet direction when they engage the cam profiles of the level and orientation stops connections 18 »F-" > ta feature allows The operation tool, stop level 11, passes through numerous connections of level and orientation without inducing a revolution in the line of perforation and in the assembly of bottom hole Alternatively, a positive displacement motor, either a turbine or another bottom motor can provide the desired rotation As shown in Fig. 5, the level-orienting tool 3r of the present invention it appears with its stop stops of level 23 engaged and locked in relation to the profile of p3 ro of internal level 20 of the tubing or of the casing copectur and with the orientation cassette 64 thereof in a relation received inside the casing. The piosi ne zone is defined by the internal adjustable skate of the tubing connector. As shown in Figure 5, g > } element 42 may be a diverter having a tapered deflection surface 29 which allows the apparatus that is stripped away through the tubing die to be diverted through the side aperture} 17 of the well casing 16 to traverse the side branch drilling 19 for appropriate well operations. In accordance with the schematic illustration of Fig. 6, the ni-3 stop tool, shown in Fig. 11, is shown with its level bumps 23 retracted for downstroke activities and representing a service tool, generally illustrated in 31, connected in a desperate manner with a deflection 61"to stop the tool 11 at a level in the level profile as shown in Fig. 6A.After achieving the level of the tool. , the service tool 31 can be disconnected from the diverter 61 and re-routed from the well, thereby leaving the diverter 61 or the milling diverter, depending on the case, firmly seated, oriented and locked inside the well tubing in such a way that the inclined surface 29 thereof is appropriately oriented in relation to the side aperture 37 to deflect a service row of the well or bore through the side opening 37 and into the branch bore 19 In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 6A, a service tool generally illustrated as 31 is provided with a connection subassembly 33 defining an internal fluid passage 35 and an internal circular seat 37, At its upper end, the connection subassembly 33 is adapted to its cone; ion to a service line 39. From a-í?

An upper sleeve 51 is provided with its e; upper tremum connected with thread with the connecting subassembly 33 and with its lower eir adapted pair. a releasing locking connection with a locking section 53 of the diverter 61 which is located in the upper end portion of the level-orientation stopping tool 31 and which is connected to said upper end portion. The upper sleeve 51 defines nail recesses 55 within which locking fingers 57 are received to lock the upper sleeve 51 with the diverter 61. The locking fingers 57 are carried within the latching openings 59 of the derailleur 63 and, in FIG. the locked condition presented in figure 6, are supported against release movement by a locking piston 63. E3 locking piston 63 is normally sealed from the reduced upper diameter end 65 of the locking section 53 by means of a seal of O 67 ring retained within the ring groove of the piston ring. The lower end of the upper sleeve 51 is received around the upper raised diameter oar 65 of the locked section 53 and is sealed therewith by means of a ring seal O 69, the rampole piston 63, in the As illustrated in Figure 6, the upper reduced diameter end '65 of the locking section 53 is fixed within a plurality of shear clamps or screws 71 and can be moved downwards towards the release position of the clamping section. shown in Fig. 6A when cutting the pins or screws 71, as shown in Fig. 6A. The force for cutting the pins or screws 73 develops in the locking piston 73 by means of a fluid pressure that penetrates the the chamber 73 inside which the diverter 61 is located, from the internal fluid passage 35 by means of the passage 43. Since the diverter 63 is not sealed on the upper sleeve 51, the fluid pressure in the e ^ ma -i 7 will act, -? on the surface area of the locking piston or ó3 that is defined by the se-? } that of ring O 67. In order to develop a fluid pressure acting on the piston 63, a ball 75 is allowed to flow through the flow passage of l? service line C? and sits in the circular seat 37, thus blocking the flow passage 43 to the ring 49. When the fluid pressure builds up in the chamber 73, it moves on the piston 63 and develops a force 3; in down = > ob e the piston. When this open force is sufficient to cut the pins or screws 71, the pin 63 will be driven down towards the position illustrated in FIG. 6A, and so position an upper piston recess 77 in correspondence with the locking fingers 57. , and allowing the movement of the locking nails towards the release mechanism of the as 35 as shown in figure 13.

As shown in the upper end of 1 A, the level and orientation stop 18 of Fig. 33, the level and orientation stop connection is equipped with an internally designed level profile of pairs. , generally shown at 20, having a pair of projecting ribs 192 and 394 projecting in, circular, spaced-apart having slits oriented vertically with or shown - > n 196 and 1 ^ 8. The upper circular rib 392 defines an abrupt shoulder which, when it is at the appropriate level, is engaged by a shoulder 202 e corresponding, abrupt profile, which faces downwardly from the level 23 of the corresponding level psaro illus- tration of the figure 12. A circular, tapered shoulder 204, which usually faces towards aba is adapted for its hooking with > a corresponding inclined shoulder surface 206 of the p ro stop of level 23 of 3 rd 32. The lower c 1 cular cos ular of the profile of pairs n 20 defines shoulders 208 and 210 inclined bet taperly engaged respectfully by shoulders 232 and 234 corresponding inclines of the corresponding level stop trip 23. During the descent or ascent of the stop-stop tool within the well casing, if a stop connection is found! -or engagement 18 having an external level stop profile which does not correspond to the level stop profile of the tool level stop stops, the lower guide surface 138, inclined of the level stop stops 23 will simply guide the level stop tapes through the profile of non-corresponding level pairs so that no settlement will occur. The level 23 stop stops will simply be radially inwardly biased against compression of their compression springs 48 and 50 to allow passage of the level-orientation p.ro tool through the level and orientation stop connection. . As shown in FIG. 3, a level and orientation stop connection 18 appears which in many aspects is identical to the level and orientation stop connection illustrated in FIG. 31. The difference is that the ribs 212 and 214 internal rounds are provided, which have a vertical side that differs from the vertical spacing of the ribs > "go> _u] = ¡i is 1 ° 2 and 194 of the fi fure 31.

The level and orientation stop connection 3R illustrated in FIG. 15 is different from the level stop and opentae ion connections of the three figures 13 and 13 = > It is important to note that a profile of internal level p-srcs is provided which is defined by means of a circular, internal, circular projection 216 which slots see 11 > The orientation is shown at 238.

The level pair stops in figures 32, 14 and 16 are identical to, but 3 identical with the exception of the particular ruble stop profile of the ismes. The level stop stop of FIG. 16 defines an abrupt level stop shoulder 224 facing ab or adapted to settle on the level stop shoulder 220 facing upwardly of the circular rib 216 and to settle an inclined shoulder facing upwards 226 corresponding to the inclined guide 222 facing downwardly of the internal level stop plate of the level and orientation stop connection. An important aspect of the present invention is presented by the configuration of the orientation pin 64 illustrated in FIG. 18. The lower part of the orientation pin 64 defines an inclined surface 86 that 3 lev = < perform a function similar to a cam to force the orientation pager in its corresponding recipes 318 and 120 if it finds an internal obstruction.

Since the surfaces 228 or 230 will be in surface-to-surface contact with the respective guide edges of the adjustable skid, there will be little tendency to cause a structural defrosmation to either excessive wear of the ramp surfaces of the adjustable tine during the Upward movement of the level stop tool -orientation. Accordingly, the orientation pin will essentially establish a support function to ^ i as a guiding function to ensure against excessive wear or structural deformation of the guide ramp surface of the level and trim stop connection. on In view of the foregoing, it is evident that the present invention is well adapted to achieve all objects and features previously discussed, together with other objects and features inherent in the apparatus presented herein. As will be easily observed by experts in the field, the. The present invention can be made in other specific ways without departing from its essential features.
