Definitions
- Sintered porous powder well screens have a tendency to crack and split in bending applications such as those that are encountered in horizontal well bores.
- a further problem that arises with sintered laminate tube well screen apparatus relates to the seam welding process.
- the flat "sheet" metal (which may be woven) is made up of differing layers of filter sheets that are manufactured into a sintered, diffusion bonded single element structure to insure a nominal or absolute filter capability, for example, micron rating, retention etc.
- the sintered laminate well screen tube is seam-welded to maintain shape and integrity.
- Seam welded sintered laminate causes a heat affected zone particularly in the region of the weld that can and does create "bum through" by inconsistent heating during the welding process.
- Pin holes may develop as a result of the process which causes "hot spots” that may evolve into erosion failures.
- the heat-affected zone can also be subject to accelerated stress-crack corrosion due to harsh downhole well conditions (ie, temp/ chlorides/ acid, etc.).
- a sand screen assembly for separating particulars material from a subsurface fluid/ gas formation uses a well screen having a seamless sintered woven wire element.
- the element has a seamless sintered woven wire body mounted over a mandrel containing apertures.
- the seamless sintered woven wire element is placed in a downhole environment in the subsurface gas/fluid formation. Then particulate matter is filtered from the subsurface gas/fluid formation through the seamless sintered woven wire element.
- a related object of the disclosed embodiments is to provide a well screen that offers maximum corrosion resistance for installation in subsurface locations.
- the seamless sintered woven wire body may be electropolished by known electropolishing techniques prior to use.
- Another object is to provide integral structure through diffusion bonding that ensures accurate pore space openings to coincide with well design parameters.
- Another object is to circumvent welding at any juncture point.
- Ductility (malleability) of the metal seamless sintered woven wire body is another improvement over prior art with respect to delamination of the diffusion bonded surfaces which occurs in the prior art devices during expansion and bending of the well screen.
- Another object is to maintain proportionality between the pore space opening size and changes in the amount or quanta of flexing (bending and/or expansion) of the seamless sintered woven wire body by precision winding to accommodate intentional and/or unintentional changes in form and/or shape which occur downhole.
- a fifty percent (50%) expansion of the seamless sintered woven wire body would result in a likewise pore space expansion. All metal to metal crossing points are diffusion bonded without welding in order to attain maximum efficiency in hostile downhole conditions.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic elevational view of one embodiment of an assembly with a seamless sintered woven wire body well screen in a subsurface environment.
- Fig. 2 is an elevational view of one embodiment of a seamless sintered woven wire element.
- Fig. 3 is an elevational view of another embodiment of a seamless sintered woven wire element.
- Fig. 4 is a close up view of a weave or windings employed in the seamless sintered woven wire element.
- Fig. 5 is a view of the device shown in Fig. 4 in an expanded mode.
- Fig. 6 is a perspective view of one embodiment of a seamless sintered woven wire body.
- Fig. 7 is a simplified schematic view of offset windings.
- Fig 1 the embodiment disclosed represents a well 10 with surface assembly 11 mounted above ground (or ocean/sea/water body bottom) level 12, an upper tubing string 14 extending subsurface 16, casing 18, a lower production tubing string 20 (either vertical, horizontal or directional) extending into a gas/fluid formation 22 which may contain hydrocarbons, and one or more well screens 30 included in the lower production tubing string 20.
- the well screens 30 employ a seamless sintered woven wire element 32 which is preferably mounted on a mandrel 34 in contrast to prior art seam-welded sintered laminate/porous well screens for use in various configurations of downhole well completions to reduce produced (inflow) of unconsolidated sand.
- a seamless sintered woven wire element 32 which is preferably mounted on a mandrel 34 in contrast to prior art seam-welded sintered laminate/porous well screens for use in various configurations of downhole well completions to reduce produced (inflow) of unconsolidated sand.
- wire variable nickel/ chrome
- the seamless sintered woven wire body 36 is fused by sintering. The sintering process creates a diffusion (inter-atomic) bonded structure.
- the seamless sintered woven wire body 36 is mounted on the mandrel 34 or pipe 35 with a mechanical type of attachment (such as pinned by set screws or a heat shrink form of attachment 38).
- the seamless sintered woven wire body 36 is mounted on the mandrel 34 or pipe 35 with a non-mechanical type of attachment (e.g via a welded joint 40)
- the weave or windings 50 define pore space openings or inlet areas 52.
- the pore space openings or inlet areas 52 may be controlled by using precise winding prior to the sintering process. Such control over the pore space/ inlet areas 52 surpasses sintered laminate or conventional wire wrapped designs.
- the winding of the wire 54performed prior to sintering may be done in an offset (tortuous path) design 50a (Fig. 7) resulting in an offset flow path generally represented by arrow 51 , or a more direct non-offset configuration 50b (Figs. 2-6) that is consistent with wire-wrapped screen designs.
- Offset winding 50a would be more consistent with component screen products (pre-pack aggregate, etc.) that require fine filtration and "Dirt holding" capacity.
- Non-offset windings 50b would be more consistent with wire-wrapped primary screen functions.
- Filtering characteristics can be affected by wire 54 shape, size, pitch, winding pattern, and winding angle.
- the helically wound wire 54 in cross section could be "flat" 54a (Fig. 7) (somewhat trapezoid shaped) or round 54b depending on the purpose of the application.
- a superior filter body 36 is provided in all applications in regard to life
- One example of a seamless woven wire device which could be adapted through the disclosure of this application to a seamless sintered woven wire body 36 used in a well screen 30 application is a device commercially available from Fuji America, Inc. known as FUJiLOY.
- the seamless sintered woven wire body 36 may have one or more of the following features separately or in combination: pore space openings 52 ranging from twenty micron to 1 ,000 micron; making the body 36 in a tubular shape having a wall thickness 38 (Fig. 6) ranging from .020 inches thick to .365 inches thick; the seamless sintered woven wire body 36 has pore space openings 52 with tolerances ranging from plus forty microns to minus forty microns; the flat shaped ribbon wire 54a (Fig.
- the round shaped wire 54b has a diameter ranging from .002 inches to .150 inches; expanding the seamless sintered woven wire body 36 downhole while proportionately expanding the pore space openings 52 (compare and contrast Fig. 4 to Fig. 5); electropolishing the well screen 30 for corrosion resistance prior to placing it downhole; adding a drainage layer to the well screen 30, by, for example, adjusting the weave 50 during the seamless sintered woven wire body 36 manufacturing process to create variably sized pore space openings according to separate layers 60, 62, 64 (Fig. 7) within the seamless sintered woven wire body 36 (for example the weave 50 could be course next to the mandrel 34, next the weave 50 could be finer, and on the outer weave layer 60 the weave 50 could have large openings).
