Definitions
- This invention relates to a gas separator and in particular to a gas separator for use as an inline, downhole tool for oil and gas well drilling and servicing.
- a single phase water jet has higher density and stagnation pressure than a mixed-phase jet and would be more effective than a two-phase jet.
- the gas cut in the fluid discharge from the separator should be less than 1 vol% to ensure effective jetting.
- Shrouding the jets with the separated gas would reduce jet dissipation and increase the effective range of the jet.
- the use of energized fluid with a gas separator will also boost the differential pressure and hydraulic power of the jet by reducing bottomhole circulating pressure. Increased pressure and power will allow erosion of harder material such as mineral scale, cement and rock, while increased power will improve erosion rates.
- An effective gas separator would maintain high efficiency over a relatively high range of inlet gas fractions.
- sufficient nitrogen is added to reduce the bottomhole pressure to 50% of hydrostatic. Under these conditions compressed gas makes up 20 to 60% of the volume fraction of the flow inside the coil.
- the volume fraction of gas entering the separator may vary substantially during a single run due to changes in pressure and temperature as the operating depth of the tool increases.
- the Latos et al patent (supra) describes a downhole phase separator for coiled tubing using a cyclonic separator design. This tool provides less than 5% gas cut for a supply fluid with 30% to 40% gas content. Cyclonic separators are used to swirl fluid flow through a set of vanes. This approach generates very high radial accelerations, which provide the separation forces. In small diameter tools, the high flow rate generates high turbulent mixing forces that overcome the separation forces and limit separation performance.
- Rotary gas separators are commonly used in two-phase production to prevent gas from entering electric submersible pumps.
- the rotary gas separator is powered by the pump shaft and spins at 3500 or 1750 rpm depending on the electric motor and power supply.
- the system includes an inducer to pressurize the two-phase flow entering the separator.
- the flow enters a shrouded vane section where the flow spins and the water or oil moves to the outside due to centrifugal forces.
- the shroud rotates with the vanes reducing turbulence in the separator.
- a crossover manifold at the top directs the fluid flow to the pump and the gas flow back into the well annul us.
- the claimed gas cut is less than 10% for a wide range of flow rates and gas/liquid flow ratios,
- Inline rotary gas separators are also used in pipelines to remove small volumes of condensate from the gas flow.
- This style of separator uses a stator to induce swirling flow inside of a drum which includes rotor vanes in the gas flow. The rotor provides power to spin the drum.
- This type of separator is designed to remove all fluid from the gas stream as opposed to providing a low gas cut in the fluid.
- Yahiro et al in US Patent No.4,047,580 disclose a method for shrouding a submerged jet by introducing compressed air through the outer annular ring of a concentric jet nozzle.
- the air shroud increased the range of the jet by a factor of four.
- the construction of annular gas nozzles is complex, particularly for high- pressure fluid jetting.
- An object of the present invention is to meet this need by providing a relatively simple, compact separator for removing gas from a gas/liquid mixture.
- Another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus combining a separator for separating gas from liquid and a jetting tool for inline, downhole operations.
- the invention relates to an apparatus for separating a gas from a liquid under pressure comprising: a tubular housing having an inlet end and an outlet end; a stator in said inlet end of the housing for causing swirling of gas- containing liquid introduced into said inlet end; a drum rotatably mounted in said housing downstream of said stator in the direction of liquid flow between said inlet and outlet ends of the housing; a rotor in an inlet end of said drum for causing the drum to rotate in the housing; an end wall in a downstream end of said drum in the direction of fluid flow through the housing; liquid outlet ports in the periphery of said end wall for discharging liquid from the drum; a gas outlet port in the centre of said end wall for discharging gas from the drum; a liquid outlet passage in said housing for receiving liquid from said liquid outlet port and discharging liquid from said housing; a gas outlet passage in said housing for receiving gas from said gas outlet port and discharging gas from said housing; a first flow restriction in said liquid outlet for restricting liquid flow
- the invention in another embodiment, relates to a method of jetting comprising the steps of passing a two-phase fluid stream through a jetting tool, removing gas from the two-phass fluid stream thereby producing a gas-rich phase and a liquid phase containing less than 1 vol% gas.
- the gas-rich phase and the liquid phase are discharged from the tool and the gas-rich phase shrouds the discharge of the liquid phase.
- the invention relates to a method of pumping a two phase fluid containing a gas and a liquid into a wellbore and separating the gas phase phase from the liquid phase whereby the resulting liquid phase contains less than 1 vol% gas.

- Figure 8 is an end view of the separator and cutting tool of Fig.7
- Figure 9 is an isometric view of a stator used in the tool of Fig. 7
- Figure 10 is an isometric view of a rotor used in the tool of Fig. 7;
- a separator in accordance with the invention includes an elongated tubular housing 1 containing a rotatable drum 2.
- a gas-containing liquid is introduced into the inlet end 3 of the housing 1 via a narrow diameter throat 4.
- the liquid passes around the conical end 5 of a stator 6, which is fixedly mounted in the housing.
- the stator 6 includes vanes 7 connected to the housing 1 for causing the fluid entering the housing 1 to swirl.
- the swirling flow causes a rotor 9 to spin.
- the rotor 9, which is connected to the drum 2 includes straight vanes 10 extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the drum to ensure that the tangential flow of fluid in the drum 2 is small.
- the rotor 9 is rotatably supported in the stator 6 by a bearing 12. The flow of fluid through the rotor 9 causes rotation of both the rotor and the drum 2.
- An end wall 25 of the drum 2 is rotatably connected to a discharge end of the housing 1 by a bearing 14 which has a restriction.
- the bearings 12 and 14 are formed of low friction materials and have a small diameter to limit bearing torque.
- the bearing 14 is a combined journal and thrust bearing, while the bearing 12 is a plain journal bearing.
- a clearance seal 15 is provided between the trailing end of the drum 2 and the trailing end 16 of the housing 1. Gas in the liquid entering the drum 1 via the stator 6 and the rotor 9 is separated from the mixture flowing past the conical trailing end 18 of the rotor 9 by centripetal acceleration, which forces the liquid 19 to the outside and the gas 20 to the center of the drum 2. Since the tangential component of fluid velocity is small, the total flow velocity is minimized which minimizes turbulent mixing forces opposing separation.
- a balance pressure port 21 is provided in the rotor 9 for venting a balance pressure chamber 22 between the stator and the rotor.
- Reduced pressure in the chamber 22 reduces the thrust load imparted by the rotating drum 2 on the thrust bearing 12.
- Ports 23 can also be provided in the drum 2 near the trailing end thereof.
- the ports 23 are located in a region of low velocity liquid flow, which is at a higher pressure than the high velocity region between the stator 6 and the rotor 9. The ports 23 result in reverse circulation of fluid which counteracts the leakage of gas through the space between the housing 1 and the drum 2.
- Liquid 19 is discharged from the drum 2 through ports 24 in the periphery of the end wall 25 of the drum 2.
- the ports 24 define sections of an annulus.
- the liquid flows through a passage 26 in the trailing end 16 of the housing 1 to a restriction in the form of a nozzle 28.
- the gas is discharged through a central, axially extending siphon tube 30 connected to the trailing end wall 25 of the drum 2, and a passage 31 and an orifice 32 in the trailing end 16 of the housing 1.
- Multiple gas outlets can be provided.
- the gas orifice at the inlet end of the passage 31 is preferably sized as a sonic nozzle which will pass the maximum volumetric flow rate of gas anticipated in a given operation.
- the gas dynamics equations for sizing a gas orifice for a given pressure, temperature and flow rate are well known to those skilled in the art.
- the liquid nozzles 28 are sized to provide the maximum hydraulic jetting power taking into account frictional pressure losses in the coil. If the liquid flow rate increases and the gas fraction decreases, the differential pressure and flow rate across the liquid jet nozzles and gas orifice increases. Liquid entering the gas orifice causes it to choke, which reduces the gas flow capacity.
- the gas orifice therefore provides a simple and robust means of limiting liquid loss from the gas separator while maintaining pressure and hydraulic power of the liquid jets as the gas flow rates decrease.
- the trailing end of the housing 1 in the direction of fluid flow is closed by a jetting assembly 34, which contains parts of the passages 26 and 31, the nozzle 23 and the orifices 32.
- the jetting assembly 34 is representative of a variety of more complex tools including rotary jetting tools, drilling motors and other tools relying on a restriction to fluid flow.
- the gas orifice 32 is sized to be slightly larger than required for the maximum flow rate of gas anticipated in a given operation.
- the gas dynamics equations for sizing a gas orifice for a given pressure, temperature and flow rate are well known to those skilled in the art.
- the liquid nozzles 28 are sized for the pumped fluid flow rate at the desired jetting pressure, taking into account frictional pressure losses in the coil. If the gas fraction decreases, fluid will start to enter the siphon tube 30 and the orifice 32.
- the two-phase flow capacity of the gas orifice 32 is much smaller than the gas flow capacity.
- the gas orifice 32 therefore provides a simple and robust means of limiting liquid loss from the gas separator due to variations in inlet gas fraction that may occur during operation. Gas separator bench tests show that the liquid loss is 0.6% or smaller while the inlet gas fraction ranges from 29% to 52%.
- the embodiment of the invention shown in Fig, 2 is similar to that of Fig. 1 except that the rotor 9 is cylindrical with no conical trailing end, and the upstream end 36 of the drum end wall 25 is conical to accelerate the flow of liquid into the outlet ports 24 without introducing sudden changes in flow direction which could trigger turbulent remixing of gas and liquid.
- the axes of the nozzle 28 and the orifice 32 intersect outside of the jetting assembly 34 so that a gas shroud is formed around the liquid jet.
- the orifice 32 in the embodiment of Fig. 2 is restricted rather than bearing 14 as in the embodiment of Fig. 1.
- Figure 3 shows an apparatus for applications requiring rotary jetting of liquid leaving the apparatus.
- the apparatus of Fig. 3 is similar to that of Fig. 1 except that liquid discharged from the drum 2 via the siphon tube 30 passes through passages 38 in the trailing end of the housing 1, and central axial passages 39 and 40 via a brake assembly 42 and a head 43, respectively.
- the brake assembly 42 which includes a tube 46 carrying the head 43, is rotatably mounted on bearings 47 in the housing 1.
- the passage of liquid through the nozzles 44 which are offset from the longitudinal axis of the head 43, i.e. inclined with respect to radii of the head 43, causes the brake assembly 42 and the head 43 to spin in the housing.
- the nozzles 44 are located beyond the trailing end of the housing 1, so that when deployed in a oil or gas production tube 49, the fluid jets will remove scale deposits 50.
- any rotary motor with an axial flow passage sufficiently large to accommodate the siphon tube 30 can be used in combination with the separator.
- the Marvin et al US Patent Application 2005/0109541 discloses a reaction turbine jet rotor with a large diameter, unobstructed axial flow passage.
- the siphon tube 30 conveys gas from the drum 2 to a central outlet orifice
- the inlet end of the siphon tube 30 is freely rotatable in the end wall 25 of the drum 2.
- the outlet end of the tube 30 is fixed in the rotatable head 43, which rotates at a different speed from the drum 2.
- a gas bubble forms at the outlet end of the head 51 and the outlet end of the housing 1 , so that the liquid jets from the nozzles 44 into gas.
- the apparatus of Fig. 4 is similar to that of Fig. 3 except that gas discharged through the siphon tube 30 passes through passage 54 and is discharged via a cylindrical passage 55 between the housing 1 and the discharge end 56 of the head 43.
- the liquid discharged through the ports 24 in the end wall 25 of the drum 2 passes through a passage 57 in the trailing end of the housing 1 into the passages 39 and 40, and through the brake assembly 42 and the head 42 to exit through the nozzle 44.
- another embodiment of the rotary jetting apparatus includes all of the elements of the apparatus of Fig.
- the head 43 itself is rotatably mounted in the trailing end of the housing 1. Liquid is discharged through passages 38 and 40, and a plurality of inclined nozzles 44 in the trailing end of the head 43. The gas is discharged through the end wail 25 of the drum 2 via the siphon tube 30, a passage 58 in the trailing end of the head 43 and inclined nozzles 59.
- the trailing end of the siphon tube 30 includes a restriction 60. The axes of the nozzles 44 and 59 intersect outside of the head 43 so that the liquid jets are shrouded in gas.
- the apparatus of Fig- 6 is used for cutting through a formation 60.
- the apparatus is similar to that of Fig. 4, except that the rotor 9 is cylindrical with no conical trailing end, the trailing end wall 25 of the drum 2 has a conical leading end 36, and the brake assembly 42 is omitted. Liquid is discharged via ports 24 in the drum end wall 25, a passage 57 in the trailing end of the housing 1, a central passage 40 in the head 43 and orifices 44.
- the gas passage 54 defining a siphon tube contains a restriction 62.
- another embodiment of the combination separator jetting apparatus includes a separator including the housing 1 with internally threaded inlet and outlet ends 64 and 65, respectively for receiving couplings 67 and 68.
- a stator 70 is fixedly mounted in the inlet end 64 of the housing 1. As best shown in Fig. 9, the stator 70 includes a cylindrical body 71 with a generally hemispherical leading end 72. Arcuate vanes 74 extending outwardly from the body 71 connect the stator to a sleeve 75, which connects the stator to the housing 1-
- a cylindrical rotor 77 is rotatably mounted on a bearing 78 on the trailing end of the stator.
- the rotor 77 (Rg. 10) includes a cylindrical body 80 with radially extending vanes 81.
- the end wall 25 of the drum 2 is rotatably mounted on a bearing 14 at the inlet end of a sleeve 83 on the siphon tube 30.
- the bearing 14 is connected to the inlet end of the coupling 68 by a sleeve 84.
- the downstream end of the coupling 68 is connected to a second housing 85 containing a speed governor 87.
- the speed governor 87 includes a central, tubular shaft 88, which is rotatably mounted on bearings 89 in the coupler 68 and bearings 91 in a coupler 92.
- Centralizers 93 in the shaft 88 center the siphon tube 30 in the speed governor. Segmented weights 94 around the shaft 88 govern the speed of rotation of the shaft by sliding outwardly against the housing 85.
- a jetting assembly indicated generally at 96 is rotatably supported on the end of the coupling 92 by bearings 97, 98, 99, 100 and 101.
- the assembly 96 includes a housing 102 carrying a rotatable head 43.
- the bearing 97 includes a mid-face vent 104, which vents to the rotatable head 43 and forms a mechanical face seal with the bearing 98.
- the bearing 100 is fixed to the rotatable head 43, The bearing 100 forms a mechanical face seal with the bearing 101.
- the diameters of the bearing contact surfaces are sized to minimize the mechanical contact load on the mechanical face seals while maintaining effective sealing under high pressures.
