Definitions

  • a slip or expansion joint for use in a drill string includes a mandrel telescopically disposed within a housing with splines to prevent relative rotation.
  • the housing includes a bottom sub having attached thereto a tube extending upwardly in spaced relation to the adjacent housing section to provide an annular cavity that is placed in communication with the well annulus by ports.
  • a seal assembly is mounted on the upper end of the tube and seals against the lower portion of said mandrel which is slidably received in said tube.
  • SHEET 2 BF 2 I DRILLING EXPANSION JOINT APPARATUS This invention relates generally to well tools and more particularly to an expansion joint used in the drill string when drilling offshore wells from a floating drilling vessel.
  • a drilling expansion joint apparatus comprising an inner member that is telescopically disposed within an outer member with a slidable spline connection to prevent relative rotation.
  • the lower end portion of the inner member is sealingly slidable within a seal tube havingits lower end attached to the outer member and with a seal assembly mounted on its upper end.
  • the seal tube is sized and arranged to provide an annular cavity between its outer periphery and the inner periphery of the outer member, and a plurality of ports communicate the lower end of the cavity with the well annulus.
  • the outer member is formed in parts that can be readily separated near the lower end of the seal tube without disconnecting the joint from the pipe string, thereby exposing the seal tube and seal assembly for maintenance or replacement of parts.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a well drilling operation from a floating vessel
  • FIGS 2A and 2B are longitudinal sectionalviews
  • a drill bit 12 is connected to the lower end of a series of drill collars I3 which provide the necessary weight on the bit, and a string of drill pipe I4 extends upwardly for suspension from the derrick l5.
  • a slip or expansion joint [6 constructed in accordance with the principles of this invention.
  • the expansion joint 16 provides the capability forlongitudirial relative movement between the drill pipe 14 and the drill collars l3'while transmitting torque typical of a rotary drilling'operation.
  • the rig operator lowers the drill pipe I'3to place the expansion joint 16 in an intermediate or partially closed condition so that the vessel l0 'and' the drill pipe can oscillate vertically as previously described without causing any corresponding movement of the drill collars l3,,thereby enabling the application of aconstan't weight on the bit 12.
  • the operator can tell when the bit 12 has proceeded sufficiently that he should lower the drill pipe 14 somewhat to maintain the free telescoping action of the expansion joint 16.
  • the drilling expansion joint 16 is shown as including an'upper, inner member or mandrel 20 telescopically disposed within a lower, outer member or housing 21.
  • the upper end of the inner member has an internally threaded box 22 and the lower'end ofthe outer member has an externally threaded pin 23 for connecting the members in the pipe string.
  • the inner member 20 has upper and lower sections 24 and 25qcoupled together by a collar 26, whereas the outer member has threadedly connected sections 27 and 28 with the upper section being attached to an upper sub 29 and the lower section attached to a lower sub 30.
  • the inner member 20 has outwardly projecting splines 31 that mesh with spline keys 32 which are fixed within longitudinally extending grooves 33 provided in an inwardly thickened portion 34 of the upper section 27 as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the upper end of each spline key 32 engages a downwardly facing shoulder 35 on the upper sub 29 and the lower end thereof engages an upwardly facing shoulder 36 provided by the lower end of each groove 33.
  • the spline keys 32 function to prevent relative rotation between the inner and outer members 20 and 21 so that drilling torque can be transmitted through the expansion. joint 16.
  • the keys 32 are preferably made of a soft ring 37 that is fitted within an internal recess 38 in a keeper sleeve 39 that is connected to the top of the upper sub 29.
  • the wiper ring 37 is provided with an internal configuration corresponding to the cross-section outline of the splines 31 as shown in FIG. 4 so that the ring has inwardly extending portions 40 received between the splines.
  • the wiper ring 37 functions to pre vent particulate matter or other debris in the well fluids from entering at the top between the inner and outer member and 21 during telescoping movement thereof.
  • a jar collar 42 having a stepped outer diameter is threadedly fixed to the upper section 24 'of the inner member 20 at the lower end portion thereof and is sized such that the upper part 43 has a relatively close sliding fit with the inner wall 44 of the upper section 27.
  • the collar 42 has an upwardly facing surface that can be engaged with a companion surface at the lower end of the housing section 34 below the keys 32 to impart an upward bumping or jarring blow upon complete extension of the members 20 and 21.
  • a downward jarring action can be effected by engagement of the lower face of the box 22 with the upper end of the retainer sleeve 39.
  • a plurality of grooves 45 are formed in the upper part 43 to enable free fluid passage during telescoping movement.
  • a ring 46 is suitably fixed within the lower section 28 of the outer member 21 and has a bore sized for a close sliding fit with the outer surface 47 of the lower section.
  • a seal assembly designated generally at 50 is provided between the members 20 and 21 to prevent fluid leakage.
  • the seal assembly 50 is mounted at the upper end of an upwardly extending seal tube 51 which is rigidly fixed to the'bottom sub by threads 52.
  • the outer wall surface 53 of the seal tube 51 is spaced laterally inwardly with respect to the inner wall surface 54 of the outer member 21 to provide a substantial dead" space or chamber 55 which is in communication with the well annulus by a plurality of ports 56 extending through the wall of the outer member 21 at the lower end of the chamber.
  • a seal retainer sleeve 60 is fixed by threads 61 to the upper end of the seal tube 51 and is provided with a typical wiper ring 62 at its upper end.
  • the retainer sleeve 60 has an internal annular recess 63 that receives a seal sleeve 64 with spaced packing elements 65 and 66 in sealing engagement with the inner member 20.
  • External sealing rings 67 and 68 prevent fluid leakage between the seal and retainer sleeves 64 and 60.
  • a grease port 69 is provided in the retainer sleeve 60 so that grease can be injected through a port 70 in the seal sleeve 64 above a lower packing element 71, the composite seal assembly providing a long lasting and relatively wear proof structure.
  • the parts are assembled as shown in the drawings and coupled into the drill string for drilling operations such as those conducted from a floating drilling vessel that moves vertically under the influence of wave and tide action.
  • the splines 31 and keys 32 transmit torque through the expansion joint 16, and the relative longitudinal movement afforded by the joint accomodates the vertical vessel motion and permits a constant weight to be applied on the bit.
  • the seal assembly 50 prevents fluid leakage of the drilling mud to the well annulus.
  • the pumping action that occurs upon extension and contraction of the expansion joint 16 draws in and expells drilling fluids from the chamber 55, however debris such as cuttings and sand particles and the like are confined to the chamber and do not contact the outer seal surface of the inner member 20.
  • the location of the ports 56 at the lower end of the chamber 55 ensures that such materials are flushed therefrom during closing movement of the joint and cannot settle out within the tool to any appreciable extent.
  • Apparatus for use in a well bore comprising: an inner member telescopically disposed within an outer member; means for preventing relative rotation of said members; a tube connected to a lower section of said outer, member and extending upwardly inside said outer member, a portion of said inner member being slidably received within said tube; said tube and outer member being laterally spaced to define an annular chamber; means for communicating the lower end portion of said chamber with the well bore externally of said outer member; and coengageable means on said inner member portion and said tube for preventing fluid leakage.
  • said coengageable means includes a seal assembly mounted to the upper end of said tube and having seal elements in sealing contact with the outer periphery of said inner member portion.
