ATTORNEY Patented May 27, 1952 pun-[TED "STATES PATENT, oFric-E METHODFOR nuwmonmnnany 7 ,FLOWING GAS WELLS Hush Cyp r, Burger, Tex. Anplic tionFebruary 1*94'lrSerial'N 3 687 This invention relates :to a method of running a liner ina flowing gas well.
Inmany cases-gas wells have been completed for production from open producin formations,
that is, the portion of the bore hole opposite "the producing formation is not lined with perforated casing. As a result, the flow of gas,
particularly when in large volume and under high pressure, will, if no corrective steps are taken, often cause caving of the sand, shale,
'or other =material comprising the producing for- 'mation into the well bore which may completely shut off the fiow of gas or reduce it greatly. in such cases it is often desirable or necessary to insert a perforated liner inside the well bore opposite the producing formation to support the latter against caving while permitting relatively freegiflow of the gas into "the well.
'Heretofore, when it became necessary to insert a liner in such a producing gas well, it was necessary to kill the well, as by pumping heavy mud into the well in order .to shut off the flow of gas to allow "the performance of the operationsnecessary to-insent theliner. This was ,arelatively costly, time consuming and generally unsatisfactory arrangement, .and since the mud fiuid sealed the ,pores of the producing forma.- tion, was often difiicult to bring the well back into satisfactory production.
The method, in accordance with the present invention, employs novel steps and apparatus designed to shut-oft and control the flow of gas in a manner which-will permit the ready inser.-
'tion of a liner without the necessity for killing the well with mud fluid, to thereby avoid the 1 disadvantages of more conventional methods.
Accordingly, a principal object of this inven? tion is the provision of an improved method for running a liner in a flowing gas well.
"important object is to provide a pl gging device which is inserltable in a well casin and which is operative to shut ed the majorportion of the gasfiowing from a well to permit run- 2 lGlaims. (o1. resh-.2 1.)
the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation through aiwell showing the positions therein of the apparatus .duringldiiferent. stages in ;a iineresetting op.- eration;
Fig. 2 is .an enlarged nuarter-sectional opera- .tion of the plugging device showing the details thereof when in the plugging position;
Fig. .3 is a view similar :to 2 showing :the relationship of the plugging device and a liner-at one stagein the liner setting operation; and
Figs. 4, :5 and 6, are views illustrating several stages .in another embodiment .of .a liner setting .operationin accordance with this invention.
Referring to the drawings, and to Figs. :2 and .3 particular, a form of device particularly adapted for use in the method of this invention comprises an upwardly tapering generally conical :body the upper end of which "is provided with ;a laterally extending annular flange M, them:- near surface of which is upwardly and inwardly :taperedto form aconicalseat 'lflwhich surrounds :atubular'boss [3 extending vertically above seat 12. Registering holes 147M tonly .onesshown) extend through opposite sides -:of boss :13. Aphirality of angularly spaced, pipe gripping slips are slidahly mounted on the conical surface :of body :10 .and have upwardlydirected teeth 13 on their outer surfaces. A plurality of coil springs 11 are .held in compression between the :upper ends of :slips 1'5 and the :under surface of flange I l whereby they tend :to gf/orce slips zlfiwdowm wardly and outwardly relative to the sloping surface of body Ill. The latter is provided with an axial passageway it of relatively small diameter, the lower end of which is counterebored to form a socket 19 which is internally threaded. The .flower end of body 1.0 is further counterbored to form an annular seat 20. A conventional gen 'erally'tnbular swab or packer cup 2|, constructed of rubber .or other resilient ruhberlike materials, has :its upper end seatedin seat 20 and its open end downwardly directed. The :upperend 01 cup 2:! is provided with .a central opening :22 .of
' slightly greater diameter than .socket l9, the inher edge of opening 22 :iorming a lip 23.. The a f cup ecreasesjn thickness towardaits lower end terminating a thin outwa dly fl ing edge. tubular nipple :24 has one end portion 2.5 reduced in diameter to form an annular shoulder 2.6, the reduced po t on 5 bein externally threaded for reception in socket ill. Shoulder 161s adapted to grip 111123 by compression against seat 20 when nipple .2 4, 215 inserted through swab. cu 2 and end portion 25 is screwed into socket l9, to thereby hold swab cup 2| tightly in place against the lower end of body It). Nipple 24 has a central passageway 2'! which registers with passageway II in body it).
The above described device is employed for setting a liner in a flowing gas well in the following manner: Referring to Fig. 1, a well 30 has its bore conventionally lined with a casing 3| to a point somewhere above the gas producing formation therein, the unlined portion of the well bore containing the gas-producing formation being often several hundred feet in length. The upper end of easing 3| will normally be conventionally equipped with a master gate valve 32 and a casing head 33 having an outlet pipe 34 equipped with a valve 35. The top of casing head 33 is provided with a flange 36 for the tight connection thereto of a conventional hollow lubricator 31, the upper end of which is closed by the usual oil-saver 38 which forms a stufling'box for a wire line 39 conventionally employed for running tools into a 'well.
It will be assumed that it is desired to run about 500 feet of perforated liner 40 in the well. The plugging device in accordance with this invention will be connected to a suitable hollow tool 4|, having an axial passageway 42 therethrough, and provided on the exterior thereof with a plurality of radially extending bow springs 42a, by inserting the end of the tool into boss l3 and passing a soft metal shear pin 43 through holes 'l4 and a suitabl opening in the end of the tool. The upper end of tool 4| will be tied to the lower end of wire line 39, and this spring of tools will first be suspended in lubricator 31 in the conventional manner. Master gate valve 32 and valve 35 will both be closed at this stage of operations and the lower end of lubricator 31 will be bolted to the top of the casing head. Master gate valve 32 will now be opened allowing the gas in the well to enter the casing head and lubricating and equalize the pressure throughout this closed system. The plugging device will now be lowered by means of line 39 into the well to a depth somewhat greater than the length of liner to be set in the well. By virtue of the open passageways 21, I8 and 42, and the equalized pressure in the casing, the tools may be lowered through the easing without resistance except for the nominal frictional resistance of slips l and swab cup 2| on the casing wall, but this resistance will be overcome by the weight of the tools.
when the plugging device has reached the desired depth, valve 35 will be opened and the gas in the upper portion of casing 31 vented to the open air. This will immediately reduce the pressure above the plugging device and create a very substantial pressure diiferential across the tool due to the restricted area of the passageways through the tools. The higher pressure gas below the plugging devicewill now act against the interior of swab cup expanding the latter into tight sealing engagement against the casing wall while, at the same time driving body Ill of the plugging device in the upward direction. This movement aided by the opposing pressure of coil springs :1 against slips will drive the teeth of the latter into gripping engagement with the casing wall, thereby setting the plugging device solidly in the casing. A sharp upward pull applied to line 39 will break shear pin 43 and tool 4| will now be drawn back up into'lubricator 31, leaving the plugging device set in the well. The lubricator, containing tool 41 will now be removed from the casing head, leaving the top of the well open.
While some gas will now continue to flow from the hole, the volume and pressure thereof will be relatively small, due to the restriction in flow by the limited area of the passageways through the plugging device and the relatively large open area of the casing section above the plugging device. This volume and pressure will be insuflicient to interfere with the subsequent operations for running liner 40. The latter will now be inserted into the well through the open end of the casing head, using conventional liner running tools, until the desired length of liner has been run into the well. Next, a conventional liner setter (not shown), or other conventional tool, which is attached to the tool string in the lubricator, will be connected to the upper end of the liner and lubricator 31 will be re-attached to the top of the casing head. The liner will now be lowered a sufiicient distance in casing 30 until the lower end of the liner comes to rest on conical seat 12 of the plugging device (see Fig. 3). Valve 35 will now again be closed and the pressure above the plugging device will again be allowed to equalize with that below the device, whereby the force tending to force slips l5 and swab cup 21 into tight engagement with the casing wall will be relieved. With this pressure relieved, the weight of liner 40 will be suificient to push the plugging device downwardly in the well as the liner is lowered therein and when the plugging device reaches the open hole portion of the well it will fall to the bottom of the well out of the way of the descending liner which will be lowered to the desired point in the well and set therein by conventional means. The setting tool willthen be released from the upper end of the liner in a conventional manner and withdrawn into the lubricator. Master gate valve 32 can then be closed. shutting in the well until the usual well head connections are replaced on the casing head, after which the well can be put back on production in the usual manner.
A modification of the liner setting method in accordance with this invention is illustrated particularly in Figs. 4, 5 and 6. In this modification, the tool string connected to line 39, will include a releasable tool 45, such as a conventional over-shot setting tool, which is releasably connected to the upper end of tool 4|, the latter being connected to the plugging device by means of shear pin 43 in the manner previously described. This string of tools is lowered into the well casing and the plugging device set therein in the manner previously described (see Fig. 4). Thereupon, setting tool 45 will be released in any suitable or conventional manner from its attachment to tool 4| and withdrawn from the well, leaving tool 4| connected to the plugging device by means of shear pin 43. (See Fig. 5.) Liner 40 is then run into the well in the manner previously described, and is set down on seat 12. Tool 41 will enter the lower end of liner 40 as the latter is lowered on to seat [2, and bow springs 42a will frictionally engage the inner wall of liner 40 (see Fig. 5). When the pressure in casing 3| is equalized to release the plugging device, in the manner previously described and liner 40 is subsequently lowered to push the plugging device ahead of it as the liner descends to the depth at which it is to be set, the engagement of tool 4! with the liner will hold the plugging device in place in the end of the liner and will prevent its coming loose and lodging cross-wise in the well so as to stop passage of the linerinto the well. When the plugging device reaches the bottom of the well, the liner setting tool is released from the liner and withdrawn from the Well. Thereafter, releasable tool 45 or a similar tool, will be run on line 39 through lubricator 31 and down into the well through the interior of liner 40 and will be hooked on to the upper end of tool 4| (see Fig. 6). An upward strain will then be taken on line 39 sufiicient to break shear pin 43, whereby tool 4| will be released from the plugging device and withdrawn from the well through the interior of liner 63 (Fig. 6).
It will he understood that various changes and alterations may be made in the details of the method steps in accordance with this invention without departing from the scope of the appended claims but within the spirit of this invention.
