Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an annular barrier to be expanded in an annulus between a well tubular 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 furthermore relates to a well system and to a method for maintaining a pressure within the annular barrier.
  • annular barriers are used for different purposes, such as for providing a barrier for flow between an inner and an outer tubular structure or between an inner tubular structure and the inner wall of the borehole.
  • the annular barriers are mounted as part of the well tubular structure.
  • An annular barrier has an inner wall surrounded by an annular expandable sleeve.
  • the expandable sleeve is typically made of an elastomeric material, but may also be made of metal. The sleeve is fastened at its ends to the inner wall of the annular barrier.
  • a second annular barrier In order to seal off a zone between an inner and an outer tubular structure or a well tubular structure and the borehole, a second annular barrier is used.
  • the first annular barrier is expanded on one side of the zone to be sealed off, and the second annular barrier is expanded on the other side of that zone, and in this way, the zone is sealed off.
  • 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 the barrier is to seal off, as the sealing properties are lost due to the collapse.
  • a similar problem may arise when the expandable sleeve is expanded by means of e.g. a pressurised fluid. If the fluid leaks from the sleeve, the back pressure may fade, and the sleeve itself may thus collapse.
  • the ability of the expanded sleeve of an annular barrier to withstand the collapse pressure is thus influenced by many variables, such as strength of material, wall thickness, surface area exposed to the collapse pressure, temperature, well fluids, etc.
  • the collapse rating currently achievable by the expanded sleeve within certain well environments is insufficient for all well applications.
  • the collapse rating may be increased by increasing the wall thickness or the strength of the material; however, this would increase the expansion pressure, which, as mentioned, is not desirable.
  • annular barrier to be expanded in an annulus between a well tubular 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
  • tubular part for mounting as part of the well tubular structure, the tubular part having a longitudinal axis,
  • the barrier further comprises a compensation device having a chamber in which a piston is arranged dividing the chamber in a first and a second chamber part, the first chamber part being in fluid communication with the space and the second chamber part comprising gas.
  • the gas may be nitrogen, neon, argon, krypton or xenon.
  • the compensation device may be arranged in the space between the expandable sleeve and the tubular part.
  • any leak of gas from the second chamber will result in gas accumulating inside the space defined by the expandable sleeve.
  • the gas By retaining any leaking gas, the gas will still have the ability to expand and thus equalise the pressure in the space to maintain the expandable sleeve in a sealing position and ensure the sealing capabilities of the annular barrier.
  • the compensation device may be arranged as part of a connection part connecting the expandable sleeve with the tubular part.
  • the annular barrier may comprise an additional connection part wherein a second compensation device is arranged.
  • the chamber of the compensation device may be annular and surround the tubular part.
  • the compensation device may have several chambers in which pistons are arranged.
  • This plurality of chambers may be spaced along a circumference of the tubular part.
  • one end of the sleeve may be fixedly fastened to the tubular part and the other end may be slidably fastened to the tubular part, and the second chamber part containing the gas may be arranged closest to the fixedly connected end of the sleeve.
  • the second chamber part may comprise a valve which is accessible from the inside of the tubular part, allowing refill of the second chamber part with gas.
  • the piston may comprise sealing means for sealing the second chamber part from the first chamber part.
  • the annular barrier may further comprise an annulus pressure compensator comprising a cylinder wherein a piston is arranged, a first end of the cylinder being in fluid communication with the annulus and a second end of the cylinder being in fluid communication with the space defined by the expandable sleeve.
  • the annulus pressure compensator may be integrated in one of the connection parts or arranged in connection with a wall of the expandable sleeve.
  • the pressure inside the space defined by the expandable sleeve may be at least substantially equal to the pressure in the annulus to maintain the expandable sleeve in a sealing position.

  • the annular barrier 1 has been expanded by pressurising the inside of the tubular part, and fluid is now flowing into the aperture to pressurise the space 13 to expand the expandable sleeve 7 .
  • the pressure in the space may drop equally and thus cause a pressure drop in relation to the formation pressure and the pressure in the annulus.
  • a temperature drop may cause the expandable sleeve to collapse locally, undermining its strength, and the pressure to make it collapse, also called the collapse pressure, is somewhat decreased.
  • the piston 18 of the compensation device moves towards the opening, as shown in FIG.
  • the compensation device lets fluid out into the space to equalise the pressure until it reaches the same level as before the temperature drop.
  • the piston When the temperature in the borehole increases, the piston is forced to move to reduce the second chamber part 20 , 20 B due to the fact that the gas in the second chamber part diminishes to equalise the pressure inside the space.
