Description
Patented Apr. 25, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE MULTIPLE STAGE CEMENTING Duncan, Okla.
Application January 23, 1937, Serial No. 122,012
6 Claims.
This invention relates to the cementing of oil wells or the like, and more particularly to an arrangement for cementing long strings of casing or pipe in stages so that all the cement which fills the annular space surrounding the casing may be supplied thereto without passing around the bottom of the casing.
The multiple stage cementing of wells is now well known to those skilled in the art. A method and apparatus for accomplishing this is fully disclosed in the U. S. patent to Halliburton, No. 1,860,669, granted May 31, 1932, and in the reissue thereof, No. 19,570, reissued May 14, 1935.
In the multi-stage cementing of wells a valve structure, usually called a multi-stage unit, is made up with the casing. The arrangement is such that at the proper time the valve in this unit is opened so that cement can flow outwardly therethrough to the annular space surrounding the casing. The valve may be a sleeve valve, as taught in the patents mentioned above, and may be opened by one of the cementing plugs used in the multiple stage cementing operation.
As taught in the above mentioned patents, a multiple stage cementing operation may employ several plugs. Thus, for example, in the illustration of Figs. 9 and of the Reissued Patent No. 19,570, two plugs travel through the multi-stage unit without afiecting it, a third plug enters the multi-stage unit and opens the valve and a fourth plug follows the upper slug of cement, this being the cement which flows through the multi-stage unit.
After the cement has passed through the multistage unit some means should be provided for preventing thatv cement from flowing back into the casing. The Reissued Patent 19,570 discloses spring-pressed valve 31 on the multi-stage unit for this purpose.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a sleeve valve arrangement for preventing cement from flowing back into the casing after it has passed outwardly through the multi-stage tuiit incorporated therein.
It is another object of the invention to provide a multi-stage cementing unit in which valve means will be opened and then closed by action of the cementing plugs used in the cementing operation.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a novel method of multi-stage cementing in which the plugs used in the operation actuate means which opens and then closes valves in the multi-stage unit.
Other objects and advantages reside in certain novel features of the arrangement and method, as will be more apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the casing of an oil well with a multiple stage unit constructed in accordance with the present invention incorporated therein and showing the parts in their relative position as they are lowered into the well.
Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the arrangement of Fig. 1, but illustrating the relative position of the parts during the time that cement is flowing outwardly through the multiple stage unit; and
Fig. 3 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the same apparatus as that shown in Fig. 1, but showing the parts in their final position after the cement has been placed around the casing through the multiple stage unit.
The various parts in the drawing are shown with certain elements exaggerated in size for the purpose of better illustrating the principles of the invention, but it will be understood'by those skilled in the art that the various parts will be of the proper size to bear the strain for which they are designed and yet not occupy any more space than is necessary. 4
Referring to the drawing in detail, it will be seen that a multiple stage unit is there shown as consisting essentially of a collar or casing member ll within which a sleeve i2 is positioned for longitudinal movement therethrough.
The upper end of the member II is provided with screw threads l3 adapted to receive and be secured to a stand or section of the casing ll while the lower end of the member II is provided with similar threads l5 adapted to receive and support a lower section or stand of casing I 6. Thus the member H may be made up with the casing of the oil well.
The casing member II has a number of openings or ports l'l circumferentially spaced therearound approximately midway between its ends. These ports are adapted to be opened and closed by movement of the sleeve l2 into successive positions.
Normally the sleeve l2 occupies the position shown in Fig. It is held in this position by means of shear pins l8 welded or swaged to the casing member II. In the arrangement illustrated in the drawing three pins iii are used but it is obvious that their number and also their size may be varied to make them have the requisite strength.
Located beneath the shear p ns I8 are a second set II which are preferably somewhat larger than the pins I8 and also greater in number. In the arrangement of the drawing four shear pins 18 are employed.
The casing member II also is provided with latching means 28, these consisting merely of catch members mounted on leaf springs 2I secured on the inside of the casing member II in recesses 22 as illustrated. The sleeve I2 is provided with circumferentially spaced ports 23 which serve the double purpose of allowing fluid to fiow through the ports IT in the member I I when the ports i1 and 23 are in alignment and also as means for cooperating with the latch members 20 to hold the sleeve I2 in one position as will be explained further hereinafter.
The lower end of the sleeve I2 is provided with a valve seat or "doughnut ring" 24, as it is called in the trade, for cooperating with one of the cementing plugs to maintain a seal and cause the sleeve I2 to move downwardly in its initial movement with respect to the casing member II. The cementing plug which seats on the ring 24 is shown at 25 in the drawing. This plug may be of known construction and consist of a body of wood having an aluminum or other metallic valve member 28 mounted on its lower end and adapted to seat in the ring 24. The plug may also be provided with one or more rubber cups 2'! for maintaining a seal between the plug and the casing.
The drawing also shows another plug 28 which may be similar to the plug 25 except that it does not have a valve member on its bottom.
In cementing an oil well by means of the multiple stage process and using the apparatus shown in the drawing, one slug of cement will be pumped to the bottom of the casing and there distributed in accordance with known practices. If cementing plugs are used with this slug of cement they will pass right through the multiple stage unit without moving the sleeve l2 or otherwise altering the same. Since apparatus for this purpose is well known it has not been shown herein.
The first slug of cement is followed by a body of mud or other fluid and then the plug 28 is placed in the well and the second slug of cement is pumped in on top of this plug. The second slug of cement is followed by the plug 28. As the second slug of cement and the plugs 28 and 28 are pumped downwardly through the well the first slug of cement is forced outwardly around the bottom of the casing. When the plug 25 reaches the ring 24 it seats therein and the pressure of the pump at the surface is raised suiiiciently to cause the pins I8 to shear. This causes the sleeve I2 to move downwardly to the position shown in Fig. 2, thus bringing the ports I1 and 23 into alignment and causing the second slug of cement to flow outwardly through the member II. The second set of shear pins I! are designed to prevent the sleeve I2 moving downwardly further at this time and are preferably of larger diameter than the pins II and greater in number. However, there is but slight pressure exerted on the pins I 8 at this time due to the fact that as soon as the ports II are opened the fiuid pressure tending to move the sleeve I2 downwardly is released, the cement flowing outwardly through the ports. The ports are preferably opened before the sleeve I2 reaches the pins l8.
After all of the second slug of cement has flowed outwardly through the casing II the plug 28 enters the sleeve I2 and rests upon the plug 28. The cups on the plug 28 maintain a seal with the sleeve I2. Upon raising the pressure at the pumps the second time the pins I! will shear and cause the sleeve l2 to move into the position shown in Fig. 3. This will close the ports II by bringing the upper portion of the sleeve l2 into alignment therewith. This will effectively seal the casing and prevent the flow of any cement back through the ports I1 into the casing. Additional sealing means may, of course, be provided by poppet valve on the outside of the ports II in accordance with known practices.
The sleeve I2 is caught in its final position by the upper end of the stand of casing I6. To hold the sleeve I2 in this position the latch members 20 interlock with the ports 23 in the sleeve as shown in Fig. 3. It sometimes happens that changes in pressure within the casing tend to cause the sleeve to move upwardly, and to avoid the danger of the ports I! becoming accidentally opened agan the latch members 20 are provided.
The number of ports I1 and 23 may be varied in number and spacing in accordance with the requirements but the arrangement is preferably such that some of the ports 23 will match up with some of the ports Il when the members are in the proper alignment longitudinally, irrespective of relative rotation. There should also be a sufiicient number of latch members 28 to insure at least one catching in a port 23 at the proper time.
While only one embodiment of the invention has been shown and described herein, it is obvious that the arrangement may be modified in a variety of ways and still accomplish the purposes set forth. The sleeve I2 may be made of two parts, one of which is actuated to open the ports I1 and the other of which is actuated to close the same, and the arrangement may cooperate with the plugs in various ways to bring about the desired action. To facilitate drilling out the plugs 25 and 28 after the cementing operation is completed, it is preferable to provide some means for preventing the sleeve I2 from rotating with respect to the casing member II but this has not been shown in the drawing because its use is obvious. One way of accomplishing this is to provide inter-engaging teeth on the bottom of sleeve I2 and the top of the section ii of the casing. The latches 28 will ordinarily be sufilcient to prevent rotation as well as longitudinal movement of the sleeve, however. Various other changes may be made without departing from the spirit of theinvention or the scope of the annexed claims.
