- The field of this invention of that of moving pipe into a generally horizontal hole and drilling at the end of the hole. The distance at which the pipe can be pushed into a generally horizontal hole is limited by the forces available and the column buckling characteristics of the pipe.
- Pipes are used to push in horizontal directions for activities such as drilling in oil and gas wells as holes are drilled horizontally thru shallow but wide pockets or reservoirs of oil or gas. Once the wells are drilled, cleanout or secondary production operations can be enhanced by a smaller string of tubing being inserted into the horizontal runs. The use of the smaller but faster strings has been limited due to the limited load which can be put on a bit at the end of the tubing.
- A variety of other pipes exist in which improved “bit load” can be useful includes sewage systems, water lines, and pipelines.
- Especially in the case of thin wall pipe such as coiled tubing which can be unreeled into a pipe, column buckling strength is low. As the pipe is not actually assured of being straight in the first place, column buckling resulting in a spiral configuration in the well will cause high friction with the wall of the hole. This friction will limit and/or stop forward movement of the pipe, and eliminate or limit the available end loading available to a drilling bit at the end of the tubing.
- When the generally horizontal hole begins with a vertical hole such as in an oil or gas well, the transmission of force around the curve between vertical and horizontal further limits the forces available in the generally horizontal section.
- The object of this invention is to provide a method which will provide a forward motive force for tools and pipes which are in generally horizontal holes.
- A second object of the present invention is to provide a motive force which will increase the load on a drill bit while the drill bit is drilling.
- A third object of the present invention is to provide a method of providing lower pressures at the drilling bit to enhance drilling penetration rate.
- A fourth object of the present invention is to provide means to move the jetting head of a pipeline blockage remediation system forward while pumping into the internal string of pipe and taking returns up the larger annulus rather than pumping down the annulus and having to take the returns back up the smaller internal diameter of the internal string.
- Figure no. 1 is a section of the earth showing a well being drilled with the system of this invention being in place.
- Figure no. 2 is a closer view of a portion of
FIG. 1 showing the general area of the drilling system without the benefits of the present invention for comparison. - Figure no. 3 is a closer view of a portion of
FIG. 1 showing the general area of the drilling system with the benefits of the present invention for comparison. -
FIG. 1 shows a drilling system 1 in a well bore 3. The drilling system generally comprises adrill bit 5, abooster pump 7, asealing cup 9, and adrill motor 12. A drilling and circulatingstring 14 is used to push the drilling system along well bore 3 and provide hydraulic power fordrill motor 12. Drilling system will often also includedirectional control systems 16 which requirecontrol cables 18. - A relatively
vertical casing 20 is shown with awhipstock device 22 shown to divert the drilling operations from vertical to more horizontal as is well known in the art. The figure illustrates that awindow 24 has been milled in the side of thecasing 20 off whipstock 22 to start the diversion of the string from near vertical to near to horizontal, or in some cases fully horizontal. For clarity on the drawing the turn to horizontal is shown to be almost within the size of the casing, whereas in reality the turn to horizontal can take hundreds of feet. -
Numerous flow arrows 26 shown that the fluids flow down from thesurface 28 thru the internal diameter of thesmaller string 14, thru the drilling system, and back up the annular area within the internal hole of the bore being drilled to thesurface 28. - Referring now to
FIG. 2 , drilling system is shown 1 in awell bore 3 which does not have the means of the present invention. The figure shows thedrill bit 5, amud motor 12, drilling and circulatingstring 14, andflow arrows 26. - For purpose of discussion of this figure we will presume that the operations are occurring at a depth of about 1000 feet, such that the ambient or non-flowing pressure is 1,000 p.s.i. at locations P1, P2, P3, and P4. This would reflect that the pressure gradient of the drilling fluid system to be about ½ p.s.i. per foot which is a relatively light weight drilling fluid.
- When a sample flow is started, the annulus pressure P1 still approximates 1000 p.s.i. P2 is also 1000 p.s.i. as it is the same space and there is minimal flow loss up the large annulus area. The reason for identifying the pressure in these two similar places will be understood in figure no. 3. P3 is inside the bit and reflects the flow loss across the
jet nozzles 30, increasing to 1300 p.s.i. or a 300 p.s.i. differential. Pressure P4 is 1400 p.s.i. or a 100 p.s.i. differential to hydraulically provide the power to drive the motor to turn the bit. - Referring now to figure no. 3, drilling system has a
booster pump 7 in the annulus above thedrilling bit 5 and aflexible cup seal 9 to seal on the formation hole or I.D. of the pipe the unit is passing thru.Booster pump 7 is shown with bearing andseal sets turbine blades 44,stationary turbine blades 46,lower centralizer ring 48,upper centralizer ring 50,upper connection 52, andhoses 54. Lower andupper centralizer rings sealing cup 9 generally centralized so that it will remain in sealing contact with thewell bore 3.Upper connection 52 prevents thesealing cup 9 from being turned backward and inside out when the system is pulled out of the hole. - The rotating
blades 44 of the turbine type booster pump is spun on the same shaft as thedrilling bit 5 and in combination with thestationary blades 46, it produces a pumping differential, in this sample case about 20 p.s.i. P1 remains at 1,000 p.s.i., but P2 is reduced to 980 p.s.i. Inside thedrill bit 5 with the same 300 p.s.i. differential across thejets 30 the pressure is reduced to 1,280 p.s.i. The motor is taking an extra 100 p.s.i. to power the rotating blades 32, so the pressure is increased by 100 p.s.i. but reduced by the 20 p.s.i. from thebooster pump 7, giving a net pressure of 1480 p.s.i. - The 980 p.s.i. at P2 above the bit is a relative vacuum in comparison to the expected 1000 p.s.i., so in a sense, the system works by vacuuming the bit towards the end of the hole.
- If we presume we are drilling a 6⅝″ diameter hole, the seal engagement between the bore and the cup seal provides an area of the 34.471 sq. in. The 20 p.s.i. differential from the booster pump across this area yields a force on the bit of 34.471*20=689.4 lbs.
- This is 689.4 lbs of bit force for drilling at a location where otherwise zero force might be available.
- The example given is a nominal set of values which will be achieved as desired. As larger bores are encountered, less of a pressure differential will be desired to prevent overloading the bits. A 20 p.s.i. differential in a 20″ bore will provide a 10,000 lb. load on the bit. In smaller bores, a longer impeller will be desired to provide higher differentials for loading.
- It is understood in the art that reducing the head pressure on the formation at the point of drilling will often speed the drilling rate. This is called underbalanced drilling. Complex systems of percolating some nitrogen in the annulus of drilling wells is sometimes used to implement this principle. This system literally reduces the head pressure specifically on the drilling area by 20 p.s.i. in this case. When properly balanced, it will allow an overbalance in the bore of the hole away from the drill bit and an under balance in the area of the bit to optimize drilling.
- Remediation of a blockage in a pipeline requires that access to the blockage is achieved with a small circulating string of pipe within the pipeline, usually coiled tubing. Pushing a string of coiled tubing into a horizontal pipeline is typically hindered by the difficulty in pushing coiled for significant distances. Pushing coiled tubing is generally limited to about one mile before the coiled tubing buckles into a helical pattern and friction locks in the pipeline. One solution is to place a sealing cup on the end of the pipeline and pressuring the backside of the cup. This has the limitation of the returns having to come back the smaller bore of the I.D. of the coiled tubing.
- The present invention offers the advantage of the high pressure pumping down the I.D. of the coiled tubing and the return back up the much larger annulus area. It can also offer higher pressures to power the drill motor to provide the motive force for the end of the coiled tubing of a relative vacuum.
- The particular embodiments disclosed above are illustrative only, as the invention may be modified and practiced in different but equivalent manners apparent to those skilled in the art having the benefit of the teachings herein. Furthermore, no limitations are intended to the details of construction or design herein shown, other than as described in the claims below.

Accordingly, the protection sought herein is as set forth in the claims below.
