The movement of the links (16, 18) is regulated to assure the gripping member (26) moves into proper contact with the casing. Meshing gears (42, 44) or a pin and slot (46, 48) can do this, for example. The gripping member is shaped such that it can still transmit load through the links even if the pin connections (30, 32) fail. The gripping member (26) is preferably contoured to the shape of the casing inner wall to enhance grip.

Description

APPLICATION FOR PATENT
Title: High Expansion Anchor System
Inventor: Yang Xu
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[ 0001] The field of this invention is anchor systems for well tools and, more particularly, high
expansion bridge plugs or packers.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[ 0002] Well tools frequently need to be anchored in casing for proper operation. In situations where the tool has to be delivered through tubing and set in casing, the anchor assembly must extend substantially from the run in position to grab the casing. This happens because the tool must be no
bigger than a small dimension to be run smoothly through tubing and yet must expand substantially in percentage terms to grab the casing. In the case of a plug or packer, substantial directional forces are transmitted to the anchor system when such tools are set.
[ 0003] The designs of anchor systems in high expansion service have shown limited abilities to
retain grip and some have released their grip under load. Generally these designs involve a release
when the wickers on the end of a link that contact the casing simply shear and the grip is lost. In the past, high expansion anchor systems involved rotating individual links that engage the casing with
wickers mounted on an end. Examples of this design are US Patents 6,311,778 and 6,318,461. A through tubing design using similar anchor assemblies is shown in US Re 32,831. In applications
where high expansion is not an issue, the known technique of pushing slips out with cones has been
employed, as shown in US Patent 6,220,348. [ 0004] The problem with past designs is that they had a limited grip area due primarily to their
layout of having wickers at the end of a thin link engage the casing wall. Even though multiple links
would get independently actuated around the periphery of the packer or plug, the links were narrow
and their grip limited for that reason. Even a plurality of such individual links could not support a
tool in extreme loading conditions. What is needed and provided by the present invention is a way to increase the bite area of the gripping member that engages the casing wall. This has been
accomplished in part due to the placement of the gripping member at the intersection of a plurality
of links as well as controls built into the linkage to control the final movement of the gripping surface. Provisions for pin connection failure have been made so that the anchor of the present invention could still retail a grip if such a connection weakened or failed under heavy load. These and other advantages of the present invention will be more apparent to one skilled in the art from a
review of the description of the preferred embodiment and the claims below.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[ 0005] An anchor system for high expansion applications is described. It features a gripping member
that holds together a pair of links. The movement of the links is regulated to assure the gripping
member moves into proper contact with the casing. Meshing gears or a pin and slot can do this, for example. The gripping member is shaped such that it can still transmit load through the links even if the pin connections fail. The gripping member is preferably contoured to the shape of the casing
inner wall to enhance grip.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[ 0006] Figure 1 is the run in position of the anchor using gears between the links;
[ 0007] Figure 2 is the view of Figure 1 in the set position; [ 0008] Figure 3 is an alternative embodiment of Figure 1 shown in the run in position; and
[ 0009] Figure 4 is the view of Figure 3 in the set position.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[ 0010] Referring to Figure 1, only the anchor assembly is illustrated with it being understood that
it can be a part of any downhole tool that needs anchoring. The tool will generally have a mandrel
10 with a lower hub 12 and an upper hub 14.One of those hubs will move in tandem with the
mandrel 10 while the other will be held stationary, during the setting procedure. In the embodiment
illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, the upper hub 14 is movable toward the stationary lower hub 12. There
is a plurality of anchor assemblies A, and only one will be described with the understanding that the
others are preferably identical to it. Each assembly A has an upper link 16, pivotally mounted at its
upper end 17 to upper hub 14 by a pin 18. Lower link 20 is pinned at its lower end 22 to lower hub
12 by pin 24. Slip 26 has wickers 28 for contacting the casing (not shown). Link 16 is pinned to slip
26 by pin 30. Link 20 is pinned to slip 26 at pin 32. Referring to Figure 2, slip 26 has rounded
interior areas 34 and 36 to accept ends 38 and 40 of links 16 and 20 respectively in the event of
weakening or failure of either of pins 30 or 32. Additionally, ends 38 and 40 feature meshing gears
42 and 44 so that the movement of links 16 and 20 is tied together to ensure that the slip 26 comes
out flush against the casing (not shown). The gears 42 and 44 remove a degree of freedom for the
slip 26 and prevent it from changing the relative positions of pins 30 and 32 as the links 16 and 20
rotate into the position shown in Figure 2.
[ 0011] As an alternative to gears 42 and 44, Figures 3 and 4 illustrate another way to insure the flush
contact of the casing wall by slips 26. Figure 3 shows the run in position, but the operation of the
alternative design can be more easily seen in Figure 4. In this embodiment, there are no gears 42 and 44. Instead, pinned to link 16 is guide link 46 that has a slot 48. Pin 50 provides the connection to
link 16. Inserted in slot 48 is pin 49 of guide link 52, which is connected, by pin 54 to link 20. With
this arrangement, the movements of links 16 and 20 are kept equal as hub 12 moves toward hub 14.
This ensures that slip 26 will engage the casing in a flush manner. The rounded areas 34 and 36 are
also more clearly seen in Figure 4. It shows that upon failure of pin 30 or 32 the load from links 16
or 20 can be transferred to the curved areas 34 or 36. In view of the close proximity of the ends 38
and 40, a failure of either pin 30 or 32 when slip 26 is in contact with the casing could also be
absorbed by one end 38 abutting end 40 while bearing against the curved areas 34 or 36.
[ 0012] The slips 26 can be curved to better conform to the casing inner wall. The gap between pins
30 and 32 can be increased to allow making the slip 26 taller to increase its contact area with the
casing. The guiding of the movement as between links 16 and 20 allows the slips 26 to move
outwardly in a flush orientation to the casing wall for a maximum secure grip. The gears 42 and 44
can be replaced with a friction contact between links 16 and 20, although a more positive
displacement type of contact like meshing gears 42 and 44 or guide links such as 46 and 52 are
preferred. The advantage of the present invention over the prior systems where only the wickers at the end of a tilted link are used for anchoring can readily be seen. Because of the unique support system to drive a slip supported by a plurality of links, the contact area is dramatically improved so
the grip is enhanced. The curved areas provide a backup incase severe loading causes a pin 30 or 32
to stretch or fail. The positive guiding of the connected links assures contact of the casing in a flush
manner over a far greater area than prior designs. The holding forces are substantially increased. The
guiding system for links 16and 20 also facilitates release of the anchor A. As previously stated the
anchor A can be used on a variety of downhole tools, whether run in into casing or through tubing. The method of actuating the anchor can be using any known device that can cause the required
relative movement to get hubs 12 and 14 to move toward each other. Known devices that can
provide the force to separate hubs 12 and 14 can accomplish release. A variety of surface treatments
can be used instead of wickers 28 to enhance grip including using hardened inserts. Another
advantage of the present invention is that slip 26 resists forces in opposed directions to allow
simplification of the overall anchor structure. In the past, anchor structures have had to use separate
anchoring mechanisms to resist forces that came from opposite directions. In the present invention the link pairs, with their associated slip can resist forces from opposed directions. The face of the
slips 26 can have wickers or other surface treatments that are mirror images on a single slip to
facilitate anchoring against forces from opposed directions. They can have one continuous arc or be a series of curves having different radii. Multiple hubs controlling pairs of links that have a slip holding them together as described above can be used to add additional grip. The slips would then translate out at different elevations along the body 10. The present invention is useful in high
expansion applications where driving slips out with cones is insufficient to span the gap necessary
to get anchoring forces against the casing.
[ 0013] The foregoing disclosure and description of the invention are illustrative and explanatory
thereof, and various changes in the size, shape and materials, as well as in the details of the illustrated construction, may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
