Definitions
- ABSTRACT This invention describes a working barrel for a deep [52] U.S. administrat. —.92/l69, 29/l56.4
- the working barrel comprises an outer steel pipe which is lined with a thin tubing of [51] int.
- This invention is in the field of oil well pumping devices. More particularly, it is related to the working barrels of a sucker rod type pump.
- a working barrel which comprises a long cylindrical pipe formed of relatively inexpensive metal, such as steel, with a thinwalled tubular liner pressed inside of the pipe.
- the inner corners of the pipe are beveled to a relatively sharp edge at the outer surface.
- the liner is formed in close contact with this beveled portion, and the liner and the edge of the barrel are welded together at the outer corners.
- FIG. 1 shows in elevation a cross-section of a working barrel and pump.
- FIG. 2 is a cross-section of the working barrel taken along the line 2-2 of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 is a detail in section of the end of the working barrel showing the manner in which the pipe and the liner are formed and welded together.
- a borehole 30 in the earth 32 This borehole extends from the surface down to a great depth, where it engages the porous rock of an oil reservoir, so that oil can be pumped from the bottom of the borehole to the surface.
- a string of tubing 16 extends downward from the surface attached together by couplings 18.
- a pump At the lower end of the tubing string is a pump, generally indicated by the numeral 10.
- This comprises a working barrel 12, which is a long straight pipe with the internal surface carefully bored to be a true smooth cylinder, and finally honed to provide a smooth surface so that the pump piston 34, with rubber seals 40, which is attached to a string of sucker rods 38, can reciprocate up and down inside the smooth internal cylindrical surface of the working barrel.
- a standing valve 22 is fastened into the system at the lower end of the pump.
- This comprises a seat portion 42, with a sealing ball 23 which sits on the circular seat.
- the sucker rod pump piston 34 is provided with rubber cup sealing means 40 and a valve seat with a seal ball 36.
- the rubber cups 40 are adapted to snugly seal against the smooth internal surface of the pump cylinder, or barrel, so that as the sucker rod 38 is lifted, the piston 34 rises, the ball 36 seals the seat in the lower end of the pump piston and any oil above the piston is lifted upward toward the surface.
- the pump barrel or cylinder 12 is a fairly expensive piece of equipment since it must be rigid. It must be bored as a true cylinder and must be smoothly finished or honed on the inside so as to protect the rubber seals 40 of the piston. Furthermore, because many of the fluids pumped from the well are of a corrosive nature, the pump barrel is generally made out of a noncorrosive material such as stainless steel, monel metal, etc., which are very expensive alloys. In order to avoid this large expense, this invention covers the use of a conventional steel pipe 12, with a non-corrosive metal liner 14.
- the pipe is first beveled on the inside corners as shown at 26 and 26'.
- the liner 14 which may be. of noncorrosive material, such as stainless steel, monel, etc., is placed on the inside of the pipe and is press fitted outwardly against the barrel itself.
- One way of doing this is to spin the tubing into the inside of the barrel by a rotating member which is slightly oversize and, by being turned inside the tubing exerts an excessive force outward, to cause the tubing to be tightly fitted to the inside of the barrel.
- modern techniques of explosive forming may be used to expand the liner 14 into the inside of the pipe 12.
- the liner can be of a selected thickness, which is generally in the range of one thirty-. second to three thirty-seconds inch, and is preferably about one-sixteenth inch thick.
- the liner is formed outwardly against the sloping edges of the beveled portions 26, 26 and the liner and the pipe itself are welded in a bead 28 at the outer edge of each end. This is shown in more detail in FIG. 3.
- the barrel now comprises a rigid pipe with a tight fitting liner of noncorrosive material, so that the internal finishing boring and honing can provide a smooth cylindrical pump barrel as is required.
- the liner covers the complete surface of the barrel so that there is no possibility of corrosion. The welding prevents leakage of well fluids between the liner and the barrel which would cause corrosion and ill fitting of the liner to the barrel.
- the outer surface of the pipe 12 is undercut below the root diameter of the threads 44 so as to provide clearance in the threads of the couplings for the weld bead 28.
- a subterranean oil well sucker rod type of pump for use in pumping well fluids from a deep borehole in the earth, including a string of tubing supporting a working barrel for said pump, and a string of sucker rods to reciprocate the pump piston in said working barrel, the improvement in said working barrel comprising:
- a thin-walled tubular liner of stainless steel extending within said pipe, along its entire length, the ends of said liner beveled outwardly against said beveled portions adjacent each end of said pipe, said liner forming the inner periphery of said barrel for said pump piston for at least the operative stroke of said pump;
