Abstract
A method and device for closing a well with a casing in a formation in the ground are provided. The method has the steps of moving a cutting tool down into the well; removing a longitudinal portion of the casing by cutting the longitudinal portion into pipe wall pieces; removing the cutting tool; and setting a plug against the formation in the longitudinal portion from which the casing has been removed.
Description
- This invention relates to a method of closing a well in the ground. More particularly, it relates to a method of closing a well in the ground wherein the well has a casing. The invention also includes a device for practicing the method.
- When production from a ground well, particularly a petroleum well, has been discontinued, it is necessary to close the well in a way that protects against future outflow of well fluid and other substances from the well.
- Above each pressure-bearing zone, it is common practice to place at least two independent barriers; including a suitable plugging material which is arranged to seal the well. In some cases, it is necessary to remove a section in the longitudinal direction of a casing in order for a barrier or a plug to be placed against the formation wall.
- According to the prior art, the casing material is machined away by means of a hard-metal blade which is arranged on a pipe string. The pipe string is connected to a drilling vessel or an installation with the necessary drilling equipment. Chips from the machining must be transported up to the surface because the chips, which may be magnetic and may include relatively long chip coils, prevent tools from passing the portion if they are not removed.
- Machining the longitudinal portion away from the casing by means of the prior art may take several days and is a very expensive operation.
- One of the objectives of the invention is to remedy or reduce at least one of the drawbacks of the prior art.
- The objective is achieved in accordance with the invention through the features which are specified in the description below and in the claims that follow.
- A method is provided for closing a well with casing in a formation in the ground. The method has the steps of:
-
- moving a cutting tool down into the well;
- removing a longitudinal portion of the casing by cutting the longitudinal portion into pipe wall pieces;
- removing the cutting tool; and
- setting a plug against the formation in the longitudinal portion from which the casing has been removed.
- The cutting tool may be a tool which is arranged to make cuts through the pipe wall as opposed to machining tools which are arranged to remove pipe material by chipping.
- By cutting the longitudinal portion into pipe wall pieces, the production of voluminous chips is avoided. Alternatively, the pipe wall pieces that are produced are relatively easy to handle.
- Further, the method may involve cutting the longitudinal portion by means of a fluid jet. By using a fluid jet, the further induction of magnetic forces into the pipe wall pieces is avoided and the pipe wall pieces may be allowed to fall down and remain in the well. If desired, the pipe wall pieces may be carried to the surface, for example, by means of a magnet.
- The method may further have the steps of:
-
- filling the lower portion of the well with filler;
- cutting an inner casing at a lower position in the well than the position at which the longitudinal portion is located; and
- removing the upper portion of the inner casing.
- The method may further have the step of connecting the cutting tool to the surface by means of coiled tubing. The method thereby makes it possible for the well to be shut down without the use of a drilling rig.
- The method can be practiced by means of a cutting tool for cutting the longitudinal portion of a casing. The cutting tool may have a nozzle head rotatable around its longitudinal axis. The nozzle head has at least one nozzle and is connected to coiled tubing. The coiled tubing may extend to the surface, and the cutting tool is connected to the casing by means of an anchor.
- The anchor may be a fixed anchor or a rolling anchor, and the cutting tool may be provided with an actuator for moving the nozzle head axially.
- In an embodiment in which the anchor is fixed, the actuator may be used for axial movement of the nozzle head during the cutting operation. If a rolling anchor is used, the coiled tubing can be moved axially in the well without the use of a separate actuator.
- In a further embodiment, the cutting head may be provided with a pendulum nozzle. The pendulum nozzle, which is of a design known in the art, is arranged to pivot the fluid jet while the nozzle head is kept stationary.
- The cutting tool may be provided with a change-over valve which is arranged to selectively direct a fluid flow to a desired nozzle. For example, the fluid flow may be directed to a cutting nozzle during the cutting operation and then directed to a cleaning nozzle during a subsequent cleaning operation.
- The method and device according to the invention enable a considerable reduction in the time spent on closing petroleum wells while, at the same time, using considerably simpler equipment compared with the prior art. The invention thereby provides for a substantial reduction in costs connected with closing and finishing off wells.
- The following is a description of an example of a preferred embodiment which is visualized in the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 shows schematically a well which has been prepared for a cutting operation according to the invention. -
FIG. 2 shows schematically a section, on a larger scale, of a cutting head. -
FIG. 3 shows a cutting pattern in the wall of the casing. -
FIG. 4 shows schematically, on a smaller scale, a well after a plug has been set. - In the drawings, the
reference numeral 1 indicates a petroleum well in aformation 2. Aninner casing 4, a secondinner casing 6 andother casings 8 are cemented into aborehole 10 by means of acementation mass 12. - A
seal 14 is created between theinner casing 4 and the secondinner casing 6. - In
FIG. 1 , thewell 1 is shown after preparatory work has been carried out. The preparatory work may involve filling the lower portion of theinner casing 4 withfiller 16, cutting theinner casing 4, and removing the upper portion (not shown) of theinner casing 4 from thewell 1. - Coiled
tubing 18 with acutting tool 20 fitted thereon is shown in thewell 1. Thecutting tool 20 may be positioned and held fixed inside the secondinner casing 6 by means of ananchor 22. - The
cutting tool 20 includes atool housing 24 with necessary components known in the art, not shown, for controlling the cutting operation. Anactuator 26 is arranged to move arotatable nozzle head 28 in the longitudinal direction of thewell 1. - In this preferred embodiment, the
nozzle head 28 includes a change-overvalve 30 for selectively directing pressure fluid, which is supplied via anactuator channel 32, from thecoiled tubing 18 to acutting nozzle 34 or acleaning nozzle 36, as shown inFIG. 2 . - The change-over
valve 30 may be a so-called sequence valve which changes its position every time the fluid pressure is relieved. - When the
cutting tool 20 is positioned in thewell 1, the cutting may be initiated by fluid containing abrasive material flowing to thecutting nozzle 34 at a relatively high pressure via thecoiled tubing 18 and the change-overvalve 30. - The
nozzle head 28 moves thecutting nozzle 34 along a predetermined path forming, for example, thecutting path 38 in thepipe wall 40 of the secondinner casing 6 as it is shown inFIG. 3 . - By subsequently cutting along the
paths 42,pipe wall pieces 44 are formed from thelongitudinal portion 46 of the secondinner casing 6. - By switching the change-over
valve 30, pressure fluid is carried to the cleaningnozzle 36, resulting in thepipe wall pieces 44 being washed down or into thewell 1. - The part of the
cementation mass 12 that may be behind thelongitudinal portion 46 of the secondinner casing 6 is also removed by means of fluid jets from thenozzles nozzle head 28. - After the
well 1 has been prepared, the coiledtubing 18 and thecutting tool 20 are pulled from thewell 1, after which aplug 48 is set against theformation 2 in thelongitudinal portion 46 in a manner known in the art, as shown inFIG. 4 . In the present embodiment, arubber type plug 48 is shown. A person skilled in the art will understand that any suitable plug may be used. - In an alternative method, not shown, the
longitudinal portion 46 may be chosen to be a location at which two ormore casings formation 2. - Although exemplary systems, methods, and structures are described in language specific to structural features and/or methodological acts, the subject matter defined in the appended claims is not necessarily limited to the specific features or acts described. Rather, the specific features and acts are disclosed as exemplary forms of implementing the claimed systems, methods, and structures.
