Description
- In the hydrocarbon recovery arts control of fluids flowing into a borehole is an important consideration to avoid the production of unwanted fluids as well as balancing production to avoid breakthrough of unwanted fluids. There are many devices and methods to support these goals. Some of these devices include in-flow control devices (ICD) that function in various ways to preferentially admit desirable fluids while also tending to exclude undesirable fluids. Such devices are highly advantageous and are well liked by the industry but still there are drawbacks. In some cases a drawback is identifiable as a resistance to allowing passage of injected fluids. More specifically, while the ICD facilitates flow of desirable production fluids into the production tubing, it will inherently resist injection fluids flowing in the production tubing exiting the ICD toward the formation. This can frustrate or even prevent formation treatment in some cases. Since at times during the useful life of a well, treatment may be desirable to improve return on investment, the art would well receive arrangements that enhance the function of ICDs while maintaining their present utility in preferentially allowing passage of fluids into the production tubing.
- A flow control and injection arrangement includes an injection resistant inflow control device in fluid communication with an inside of a production string and with an environment outside the arrangement; and an injection valve in fluid communication with an inside of a production string and with an environment outside the arrangement, the injection valve being responsive to a threshold pressure in the production string to allow fluid flow from inside the production string to the environment outside of the arrangement.
- A flow control and injection method includes producing a selected fluid through an injection resistant inflow control device; pressuring up on a production string to exceed a threshold pressure in an injection valve; and opening the injection valve and applying an injection fluid to a formation.
- The following descriptions should not be considered limiting in any way. With reference to the accompanying drawings, like elements are numbered alike:
-
FIG. 1 is a quarter section view of a flow control and injection arrangement in an injection condition; -
FIG. 2 is the view ofFIG. 1 in a production condition. - A detailed description of one or more embodiments of the disclosed apparatus and method are presented herein by way of exemplification and not limitation with reference to the Figures.
- Referring to
FIG. 1 , a flow control andinjection arrangement 10 is illustrated in a condition in which injection flow is taking place. The arrangement includes anarrangement housing 12 disposed radially of abase pipe 14 to define a chamber 16 (one or more of them as intended by the term “a”) therebetween that is fluidically connected to a formation 18 (when the arrangement is in a borehole). It is to be appreciated that the chamber may have a multitude of shapes including annular, part annular, branched, or any other shape providing thechamber 16 is ultimately fluidically connected to an environment outside of thehousing 12. The fluidic connection serves to provide fluids from the formation to an injectionresistant ICD 20 within thechamber 16 such that the ICD can do what it does with respect to admitting fluids to the production string, a portion of which is here represented as thebase pipe 14. In one embodiment the ICD may be an RCP AR7 valve available commercially from Baker Hughes Incorporated Houston Tex. Between thechamber 16 andformation 18 in some embodiments may be afiltration media 22 such as a sand screen as shown. - Also disposed between the
base pipe 14 and theformation 18 is aninjection valve 24.Injection valve 24 may be positioned within thechamber 16 or may be positioned without the chamber but still in fluid communication with the inside of thebase pipe 14 and theformation 18. In either case, the purpose of theinjection valve 24 is to be closed during production and opened via tubing pressure inside of thebase pipe 14 in order to supply fluid from within thebase pipe 14 to the formation. Such fluid may be a fracture fluid, an acidizing fluid, or any other treatment fluid. - The
valve 24 is configured with avalve housing 26 including asupport portion 28 and aflow portion 30. Within thesupport portion 28, aspring housing 32 is positioned and in some embodiments sealed at seal 34 to thesupport portion 28. Thespring housing 32 is configured to accept avalve stem 36 and aspring 38 to bias thevalve 24 to a closed position. The rate of the spring and the preload that is imposed uponspring 38 by anut 40 andwasher 42 may be selected for the particular circumstances that are anticipated for the arrangement while in use. Selection criteria include but are not limited to at what base pipe internal pressure theinjection valve 24 should open to allow flow to the formation.Spring housing 32 may further include an optionalvalve stem seal 44 as illustrated to prevent fluid movement through the spring housing and hence avoid entrained particulate matter becoming resident within the spring housing. Such particulate matter resident in the spring housing can affect normal operation of the valve stem with respect to smooth movement in response to pressure. - As illustrated the
support portion 28 also includes a flow passageway 48 that fluidly connects an inside of thebase pipe 14 with theflow portion 30 of thevalve housing 26. Increasing pressure inflow portion 30, due to increasing pressure inbase pipe 14, will cause avalve head 50 to unseat fromvalve seat 52 and fluid may then flow from thebase pipe 14 to theformation 18, in the illustrated case, through thescreen 22. In alternate embodiments ahead seal surface 54 may comprise a radiused geometry or an angled geometry and theseat 52 may comprise the opposite of the head seal surface, i.e. the other of the radiused geometry or the angled geometry. In different environments one or the other may provide enhanced erosion resistance. It is to be understood that other geometries for the seat and head seal surface are also contemplated. - As constructed in
FIG. 1 , thevalve housing 26 is fixedly attached to thebase pipe 14 with such as a weld joint. Welds 56 and 58 are illustrated. It will be appreciated that in one embodiment, at least one of thewelds valve housing 26 and thebase pipe 14. Finally, a seal 60 that may in some cases be a bonded or molded seal or O-ring is illustrated ensuring that thevalve housing 26 is sealed to the arrangement housing 12 to prevent fluid leaking in that area. - As illustrated in
FIG. 1 , there is pressure in thebase pipe 14 that is greater than a pressure necessary to in seat the valve head and allow injection fluid to pass through the injection valve. This is illustrated by the small arrows indicating fluid flow direction. InFIG. 2 , the pressure in thebase pipe 14 is not sufficient to unseat the valve head so instead the valve head stays seated on the seat and the arrangement operates to pass production fluid through into thebase pipe 14. The fluid flow direction is illustrated inFIG. 2 with small arrows. - It is to be understood that although the injection valve is illustrated in a chamber with the ICD, it is not required to be so. Further, although the fluid from the
base pipe 14 is shown accessing theinjection valve 24 through a port 60, this is only one iteration. It is equally possible to build the injection valve such that the flow portion has direct access to the inside of thebase pipe 14. Further, there is no particular reason that thevalve 24 need be in thechamber 16 at all. Rather, the injection valve need merely be placed to allow injection fluid from thebase pipe 14 to reach theformation 18 if pressure in thebase pipe 14 exceeds a selected threshold value, that value being selected based uponspring 42 selection andnut 40 preload. - In use, the arrangement allows for control of fluid inflow while allowing injection when needed even though the inflow control device is resistant to injection. To this end, the flow control and injection method enabled by this disclosure includes: producing a selected fluid through an injection resistant inflow control device; pressuring up on a production string to exceed a threshold pressure in an injection valve; and opening the injection valve and applying an injection fluid to a formation.
