Definitions

  • This invention relates to a sand filter for producing fluids through well bores from subsurface formations. It relates especially to a multi-layer sand screen for removing the sand before it is produced through the well bore.
  • Oil and gas are produced from underground formations through well bores drilled from the surface to the formation. Some oil and gas are contained in the pores of consolidated rocks or sand. When this oil is produced through the well bore, it is relatively free of any rock particles or sand. However, many oil and gas wells produce fluid from underground formations which are not consolidated. That is, the various sand particles are not strongly attached to each other and when the fluid is produced it carries entrained sand with it. This sand causes serious damage to well equipment. In producing oil and gas from such unconsolidated formations some method must be provided to restrain the sand inflow into the well. There are four primary methods previously in use for this. These are:
  • FIG. 2 illustrates an enlarged view of the sand filter of this invention shown partly in full face and partly in cutaway.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates typical cumulative screen analysis curves of sand samples.
  • Curve 42 represents a sample of a Miocene sand in the High Island Field, Galveston County, Texas.
  • Curve 44 represents a sample of the Miocene sand in the Edgerly Field, Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. The method of obtaining these curves is rather straightforward. The sample is passed through a large screen and the weight of the sample retained is noted. Progressively smaller sized screens are used and the retention of sand on each such screen is recorded. From these data a cumulative screen analysis curve can readily be plotted. It has been found that the spacing of the wire in the various layers 30, 32 and 34 has a relationship to the cumulative screen analysis curve.
  • This filter device when properly sized can merely be set opposite the producing formation.
  • the unconsolidated sand will fill the annular space between the casing and the screen but it will not plug the screen because of the gradation of the openings.
  • the multi-layered screen could be gravel packed" in place by filling the annulus between the filter and the casing with a large sized sand.
  • the use of the multi-layered screen in this instance will allow the use oflarger sized gravel than normally used and would still resist plugging from any sand particles penetrating the gravel pack, and would provide greatly increased resistance to erosional failures, since erosion of a hole in the outer layer would not prevent the other layers from filtering.
  • the filter was mounted in a flow test model as shown in FIG. 5.
  • This includes a screen filter assembly 50 mounted within a cylindrical cell 52 which has inlets 54.
  • Screen filter assembly 50 is connected to an upper pipe section 56 and a lower pipe section 58. These two sections are sealed with cell 52.
  • Cell 52 has a top 60 so that sand 62 can be placed within the cell.
  • sand 62 was a clean Athabasca Tar Sand which has a fifty percentile grain diameter of about 0.0058 inch. Its grain size distribution falls between the two curves of FIG. 4.
  • Diesel oil was flowed inwardly through inlets 54 through the sand 62, the screen filter assembly 50 and out the lower pipe 58 and valve 64.
  • Table 1 The data obtained in the performance of this test are summarized in Table 1 below:
  • a triple wire wrapped screen as described in FIG. 2 and having spacings of a" of 0.030, b" of 0.020 and c" of0.0l was built and then placed on test in the Edgerly Field, Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. For months now the well has produced 120 barrels of fluid per day with about a 60 percent water cut. No sand has been produced and no apparent restriction in the flow capacity of the screen has been observed. Only future production history will determine the duration or time that this filter is effective. In the past, gravel pack sand retention means had been provided. The gravel pack causes a certain amount of flow restriction and ordinarily has to be replaced and cleaned every /:24 months.
  • a screen filter assembly as defined in claim 1 in which the radial distance between the first layer of wire screen and the second layer of wire screen is at least as great as the dimension b.
  • a sand screen filter assembly as defined in claim 1 including a third layer of wire screen positioned about said second layer, the dimension of the spacing between adjacent wires of the third layer of wire screen beinglgreater than b.”
  • a screen filter assembly as defined in claim 5 in which the slots of said slotted section of pipe are sufficiently large so as to have essentially no filtering effect.
