Fig: L is an elevation, artly in section, showing an embodiment of the core barrel in position in the drill stem for receiving a core;
Fig. 2- is an enlarged fragmentary View; partly in section; showing further details of constructiono! the embodiment of Fig; 1;
Fig; 2A is a view in section taken along the. line 2A-2A of Fig; 2; and,
Fig. 3 is an. enlarged fragmentary view similar to Fig. 2 showing another embodiment of the present invention.
Turning now specifically to the drawing and first to Fig. I, a conventional drill bitA mounted in the lower end 015 drill stem B is shown in posi-' tion for cutting a core at the bottom of a borehole C'.
I e" principal parts of the core barrel shown -D with a packer tion of barrel D has moiznteet on its interior a vertically arranged series ofstops K designated 5 6; 7 8, and 9 ofs rogressively decreasing diam-- eterrin' the upward direction.
Cooperating with series of stops are dogs In the drawing the parts of latch assembly F shown are clogs I 6 and retriev'ahl'e spear head' member [1. Since such latchesare WEIF known to the art, of construction have been omitted 111 order to a pluralitiy'oi'. spaced longitudinally extending slots I 5.
2. Within the barrel D is mounted the circular ing a suitable recess into which spring I3 is arranged to bias dogs i2 outwai'dly into contact with. graduated stops KL Plate 20 is also provideo withslips 20a so as to allow only upward movement of assembly G.
25 having a central passage" with packing ring 26 which embraces and packs off rod 22" of assembly GFa-t-a" point between piston Ll and lower plate 20. Partition 2?, in elfect, divides core barrel D into progressively'decreasmgthe area of fiOW.- In the the annulus becore barrel into the slots, it is desirable to provide a fluid passage from the part of the annulus above packer E to that part below packer E to facilitate the withdrawal oi the core barrel assembly. In the embodiment of Figs. inasmuch as the packer E is mounted on the exterior of the barrel and piston 2| makes contact with the interior of the barrel, thus the thickness of the wall of barrel D allows slots IE to serve as passages even if the upper end of plunger 2! is at the same level as packer E. When piston 25 is raised so that its lower end is past the lower end of slots it an increased flow area is provided by passageways 24 of piston 25 as will later be explained.
The two springs J and I3 are proportioned so that a change in the effective length of J is suincient to cause a predetermined change in the efiective length of l3. Thus, as spring J is cornpressed by core l8 entering the barrel, the plunger assembly G moves upwardly compressing spring l3 and causing the dogs ii to move in turn past the stops I I.
In using the device of the present invention it may either be dropped down the drill stem and then retrieved with a sand line after a core has been cut or alternatively may be lowered on the end of a sand line. In any event, it assumes the position shown in Fig. 1 when in core cutting position. The interior mechanism is initially arranged with plunger assembly G in a lower position with clogs ii in contact with the lowermost stop of the graduated stops l2. The interior of the barrel is, of course, free from a core so that circular plate H is in its lowermost position and spring J is in its extended position. In the position of plunger assembly G described, the upper wall of piston 2! is below the lower ends of longitudinal slots I5.
In cutting the core, the drill stem is rotated and drilling fluid is pumped downwardly through the drill stem in the usual manner. When the drilling fluid reaches the point in the drill collar where the core barrel assembly i arranged, it flows in the annular space between the outer wall of barrel D and the inner wall of drill stem 13 until it reaches packer E where it is forced to flow through slots into barrel D, then downwardly in the flow passage between the wall of barrel D and rod 22, then outwardly through the lower portion of slots [5 and downwardly in the annular space between the outer wall of barrel D and inner surface of drill stem B and then through the mud courses 10 of the drill bit. The mud then flows upwardly in the usual manner between the outer wall of drill stem D and the wall of borehole C.
As core 5% is cut it necessarily forces circular plate II upwardly in order to enter the core barrel. This upward movement of plate H in turn causes spring J to compress. Since springs J and spring l3 are selected to have a predetermined relationship, the compression of spring J a certain initial amount causes such a force to be exerted through plunger assembly G as to compress spring 13 and move it past stop 5, which is the lowermost series of stops K. Upon movement of plunger assembly G, piston 2| of the assembly is forced upwardly until its upper end is above the lower portion of longitudinal slot [5 thus reducing the amount of flow area for the drillin fluid and causing an indication at the surface by an increase of pump pressure in the mud pumps. As additional core enters the barrel D, plate II is forced upwardly an additional amount, in turn additionally compressing spring J and when this compression exceeds a predetermined amount the dogs 12 are pushed past stop 6, the second stop of the series of stops K, piston 2| moving upwardly and further reducing the flow area of slots l5 and causing another increase of pump pressure.
The device as shown is proportioned such that as dogs l2 move upwardly against stop members 5, 6, and 1 piston 2| progressively reduces the flow area of slots is thus causing three stepwise increases in mud pressure. However, in the embodiment shown, when the dogs I2 reach this position, the upper end of piston 2! has moved up even with the lower end of packer E so that the pump pressure remains substantially constant while dogs I2 move along stop member a. Further upward movement of piston 21 (at which time dogs l2 are in contact with stop 9) causes the lower end of piston 2! to rise above the lower end of slot 15 and fluid may flow through passages 24 of the piston and out through the exposed lower portions of slot l5 which will cause a reduction in pump pressure. Summarizing, the five stepwise movements along stops 5, 6, 1, 8, and 9 result in three stepwise increases in pump pressure, then a step where the pump pressure remains constant and a. final step where the pump pressure decreases. When the pump pressure decreases or drops suddenly (the final step) this is an indication to the operator that the desired amount of core is in the core barrel. At this point the lower end of piston 2! is above the lower ends of slots It, thus affording a bypass for the flow of mud around cup packer E which allows the entire assembly to be easily withdrawn.
It will be understood that if difilculty is encountered during the coring operations so that core is not entering the barrel, the stepwise increases in mud pump pressure will not occur, and this will indicate to the drilling crew that some correction of the coring operation should be made. Thus, the device of the present invention enables a signal to be transmitted to the drilling crew at the surface at the time a core is being cut in the borehole so that it is unnecessary to withdraw the core barrel in order to determine whether or not the attempt to take the core is successful.
When the core barrel is to be removed from the drill stem, as when a core has been cut, it may be removed in the usual manner with a sand line.
As a further embodiment of the present invention, instead of a single series of longitudinal slots 15, two series of longitudinal slots, an upper series and a lower series, may be used. Such an embodiment is shown in a fragmentary View in Fig. 3. In Fig. 3 barrel D is provided with an upper series of longitudinal slots 36 arranged above packer E and a lower series of longitudinal slots 3i below packer E. This embodiment will operate in exactly the same way as in the embodiment of Figs. l and 2 except that bypass passages are not provided adjacent cup packer E for flow of fluid.
From the description of the present invention, it will be seen that I have provided a retrievable core barrel having a construction which causes stepwise changes in pressure in the mud pump as a core enters the core barrel during the cutting of a core. Thus, the crew is provided with a signal which indicates the success of the coring operation.
