Los Angeles,
Calif., a corporation of California` Application February 15, 1936, Serial No. 64,007
14 claims. 4(ci. 16s- 17) 4 My invention relates to We'll heating devices and methods, and among the objects of my invention are:
First, to provide a Well heating device which utilizes Thermite as a heating medium.
Second, to provide a heating device of this character which is particularly adapted to melt paraffin or other low melting solid accumulations in and around the perforations of a well liner 1o or within the casing above the liner, as well as generally heating and thereby decreasing the viscosity of the well iiuid.
Third, to provide a heating device adapted to be suspended from a cable so that it can be 4lowered l5 and raised quickly.
Fourth, to provide a heating device 4which generates a substantial quantity of heat within a short time. n
Fifth, to provide a heating device for wells which serves to prepare a well for re-production after idle periods.
Sixth, to provide a heating device which is self-contained, efficient in its operation, and both simple and economical of manufacture.
Seventh, to provide on the whole a novel method of heating wells.
With the foregoing and other objects in view as may hereinafter appear, attention is directed to the accompanying drawing in which:
Fig. 1 is an elevational view of my well heating device shown suspended from a cable within a cased well bore.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view of the heating device taken through 2--2 of Fig. 1 showing the upper portion of the heating chaml ber and the means of connection with the cable head.
Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view through 3--3 of Fig. 2 looking downwardly on the relief valve deck.
Fig. 4 is another transverse sectional view through 4-4 of Fig. 2 looking upwardly at, the valve deck.
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary sectional view through 5-5 of Fig. 2 along the axis of one of the relief valves.
Fig. 6 is a fragmentary, longitudinal, sectional view of the lower portion of the heating device taken through 6-6 of Fig. 1.
Fig. '1 is a modified form of the heating device in which heat radiating ns are incorporated.
My well heating device comprises generally a heating chamber I adapted to receive Thermite or analogous material, a connecting member 2, a cable head 3, and cable 4.
The heating chamber includes a length of tubing forming a shell 5 which is internally threaded at its lower end to receive a plug Ii. The shell 5 is provided with a lining of refractory material, Apreferably in the form of tubular sections 1 shaped REISSUE at their ends to form telescoping portions 8. The bottom lining section fits into a cup-shaped end member 9 also formed of refractory material. By substituting shells 5 of different lengths and adding lining sections 1, a receptacle of any desired length is formed.
This receptacle is filled with Thermite I0 or analogous material having a high endotherrnic reaction and generating a minimum amount of gaseous products. The lining 1 preferably extends well above the level of the Thermite to prevent material from coming in contact with the upper portion of the shell. y
'Ifhe upper extremity of the lining 'l receives a relatively deep socket member Il of refractory material which is'positioned with its open endup. The socket member is provided with channels I2 in its lower end and is spaced from the walls of the shell 5 to provide free passage for any gases that may be generated or expanded by reason of the heat created.
The upper end of the shell 5 is internally threaded to receive the enlarged lower end of the connecting member 2. Said connecting member decreases in diameter above the shell forming a valve deck I3. The valve deck is provided with passages I4 therethrough which receive valve seat members I5 engaged by ball valves I6. 'I'he ball valves seal against external. pressure and are urged against their seats by springs I1. 'Ihe -socket member is made large enough to catch any drippings from the valves I6 to prevent such moisture from falling upon the Thermite.
The connecting member central bore IB therethrough which is constrlcted at its lower portion. The upper or larger portion of the bore I8 is internally threaded at its upper end to receive the lower end of the cable head 3 which is, in turn, secured to the cable di.
The cable 4 is a special type of wire rope having sufficient strength to support the well heater` and provided with a central conductor core I9.
The conductor core extends to the lower end of the cable head where it is attached to a terminal 20 supported by an insulating disk 2l, as shown 2 is provided with a` in Fig. 2. The disk 2l is held in place by a p threaded, hollow nipple 22 projects therethrough.
The connecting member 2 likewise receives an insulating disk 23 which is held in placeby a hollow nipple 24. The insulating disk 23 carries a yieldable terminal member 25 engageable with the terminal 20 when the connecting member and cable head are screwed together.
A double lead conductor 26 is attached by one lead to the terminal below the disk 23 and is grounded by its other lead to the `connecting member. The conductor extends through the bore I8 of the connecting member around the socket member II and into the lining 1. The
and the terminal lower extremities of the conductor are connected to an igniting cartridge 21 of any suitable design and is embedded in the Thermite. Said cartridge may comprise a shell 28 of inflammable insulating material containing the igniting mixture 29 commonly used for rI'hermite, and having embedded therein a wire 30 adapted to be heated to incandescence when current is passed therethrough.
In order to minimize conduction of heat to the cable head, the bore I8 of the connecting member may be packed with asbestos or other heat insulating material 3|.
Operation` of my well heating device is as follows:
When electrical energy is supplied to the igniting cartridge, the Thermite is ignited thereby and burns. The heat generated by the Thermite is transferred to the surrounding well uid, raising it to a temperature suiiicient to melt paraiiin deposits along the sides of the casing, or the perforated liner through which the well fluid enters from the formation. The heating device is raised or lowered as the Thermite burns to distribute the heat where desired.
'I'he purpose of the lining l is to prevent damage to the shell 5 but, particularly in the heaters of smaller diameter, the liners may be omitted to increase the available area. In such case, of course, the shell 5 is renewed each time.
Dissipation of heat from the heater may be increased by providing heat radiating fins 32, as shown in Fig. 7.
Ihe check valves serve to permit escape of any gases that may be generated, and the socket member not only traps any water that may leak in, but also serves to protect the lower end of the connecting member 2 from the direct heat of the Thermite.
Though I have shown and described a particular embodiment of my invention, I do not Wish to be limited thereto but desire to include in the scope of my invention the constructions, combinations, and arrangements embraced in the appended claims.
