Claims. (01. 255-28) This invention relates to new and useful improvements in means for recovering elements from well bores.
In the well art, it is well known that in the drilling and completion of wells, pipe, in one form or another, is substantially at all times extending into the well bore. During the actual drilling, the drill stem or pipe, which is made up of sections connected by coupling collars, has the drill bit mounted on its lower end and is rotatable so as to rotate the bit and perform the drilling operation. After the well is drilled in, well tubing and easing are disposed within the well bore and, of course, remain therein so long as the well is producing. The pipe extending into the well bore may separate, collapse or for other reasons, may fall downwardly in the bore tothe bottom thereof; or the Wall of the bore may cave in and firmly lodge the pipe, or a portion thereof, within the bore. When any of the foregoing occurs, it is necessary that the pipe be removed or fished out from the bore before the well operations may continue and manifestly, such removal, particularly where the pipe is firmly lodged or stuck within the bore, creates quite a problem.
The former practice has been to attempt to remove the lodged or stuck portion of the drill pipe, which is commonly referred to as the fish,
by grappling the pipe and pulling on the same with very powerful machinery, which often seriously damages the pipe by overstraining the upper portion of the pipe until the pipe is broken near the surface. Such breaking of the pipe causes the elastic stretch in that portion of pipe below to snap the lower portion of pipe downwardly with great force and most generally corkscrews this pipe and bends it over in the cave-' outs and cavities, thereby damaging the same. After this happens, cutters, shooting, left-hand pipe, and other fishing tools are tried in an attempt to recover the pipe. The long sections of pipe are connected together by threaded collars or threaded tool joints. Sometimes the top of the lodged portion of pipe has been rotated to the left to affect disconnection of one of the many threaded joints, but when this is done, there is no way of determining which joint will be unscrewed. A joint at the top of the well, or only a few hundred feet from the surface of the ground will be broken out, because ordinarily the lower joints are made tighter due to the bit drag on said joints during the drilling operation. For this reason, merely rotating the pipe to unscrew the joints is not successful since it leaves the major portion of the pipe in the bore.
It is therefore, one object of this invention to provide an improved means for recovering and removing pipe, tubing, casing and other objects which may have become lodged, or which may have fallen downwardly, within a well bore.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved circulation device for reestablishing circulation around the walls of a string of pipe, or the like, in which it is connected, whereby circulation may be established when the portion of the pipe below the circulation device has become stuck in the well bore.
A further object of the invention is to provide an improved circulation device for reestablishing circulation through the wall of a string of pipe into Which it is connected, and in which the inside diameter is not restricted so as to prevent the passage of tools and other objects that will pass through the string of pipe.
A construction designed to carry out the invention will be hereinafter described, together with other features of the invention.
The invention will be more readily understood from a reading of the following specification and by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which an example of the invention is shown and wherein:
Fig. 1 is an enlarged, vertical sectional view, showing a circulation breaker.
Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1, showing the circulation breaker of Fig. 1 in its operating or open position,
Fig. 3 is a horizontal cross-sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
A circulation breaker or by-pass valve device is shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. The numeral 450 designates a sectional tubular housing. The upper portion 45! of said housing has its upper end internally screw-threaded and its lower por-- tion reduced and externally screw-threaded. The lower portion 452 of said housing is screwthreadedly attached to the lower end of the portion 45l, and the lower end of the portion 452 is reduced and externally screw-threaded so that a tubular pipe 453 may be attached thereto. It is pointed out that a tubular pipe 454 may be attached to the upper end of the portion 45l of the housing 550. Thus the housing may be connected into a string of tubing.
The portion 551 of the housing is provided with an axial bore 455. A plurality of ratchet teeth 455 are provided on the walls of said bore. An annular seat 451 is provided on the lower portion of the lower end of the housing 956 surrounding the bore 455. The housing 452 is pro vided with an axial bore 558 therein, the bore is enlarged at 959 and further enlarged at 459 at the upper end of the portion 352. A valve head 45! has a valve seat 352 on its upper periphery and seats upon the valve seat 957 located on the lower end of the housing 45!. A sleeve 563 depends from said valve head and has its lower end extending into the enlarged bore 459. The head and sleeve have an axial bore 454 extending therethrough. The head ABI is slidable within the enlarged bore 450, while the sleeve 653 is slidable within the bore 459. A coiled spring 955 surrounds the sleeve 452 and has its upper end underlying the head itl, and its lower end resting upon the bottom of the enlarged bore 450. Thus said spring supports the head.
A plurality of orifices 456 are provided in the housing 452 at its reduced portion so that they establish communication between the enlarged bore 469 and the exterior of the housing 152. A disk 491 is disposed above the head 151 and has an axial opening 568 therethrough. Said disk is provided with a plurality of upwardlyextending, flexible fingers 459 which have their uppermost ends 415 bent outwardly so that they may engage within the ratchet teeth M35. Thus the spring 455 will support the head and will close the valve seats fluid passed through the device through the sleeve 463.
In operation, the bore of the device is unrestricted so that any tool may be passed therethrough. In the event the string of tubing becomes lodged or stuck in the well bore and it is desirable to attempt to establish circulation around said pipe, it is only necessary to drop or run into the well bore a suitable tool to close the bore of the sleeve 093. In the drawings, a ball 41! has been shown, however a go-devil or the like may be dropped or run in or a wire line so as to close said bore. With the bore closed, pump pressure is applied to said disk and plugging means and the disk and head are moved downwardly. It is pointed out that when the disk is moved downwardly, the fingers will also move downwardly, and the upper bent ends of said fingers engaging the teeth 55% will hold the disk in that position (Fig. 2) so that the spring cannot move the head upwardly. The washing fluid is free to pass between the fingers and into the bore 4.09 and out through the orifice 466, thus washing the exterior of the pipe. It is pointed out that said fingers and teeth may be left out of said structure and in this instance the pressure of the fluid may be depended upon to hold said head in its downward or ajar position.
This application is a division of my copending application, Serial No. 590,682, filed April 27, 1945, now Patent No. 2,586,015, granted February 19, 1952, for Pipe Releasing Means, which application is in turn a division of application Serial No. 334,947, filed May 13, 1940, now Pat- 551 and 502 so that any ent No. 2,394,759, granted February 12, 1946, for Methods of and Means for Recovering Elements From Well Bores, which latter application is in turn a continuation-in-part of prior application Serial No. 301,762, filed August 24, 1928, now Patent No. 2,214,550, granted September 10, 1940, for Testing Device for Wells.
