Abstract
A system and method for excavating a subterranean formation, according to which a suspension of liquid and a plurality of impactors are introduced into at least one cavity formed in a body member and are discharging from the cavity so that the impactors remove a portion of the formation. The impactors are separated from at least a portion of the fluid, and are passed to a conduit so that the impactors accumulate in the conduit before being removed from the conduit.
Claims
AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 01 December 2008 (01.12.08)
Claims
What is claimed is:
1. A system for excavating a subterranean formation, the system comprising: a body member having a flow of a suspension of liquid and a plurality of impactors therein and a discharge directed at the subterranean formation, so that the suspension of liquid and impactors exits the discharge into contact with the formation and alter a formation physical property by compressing and fracturing the formation with the impactOTs to remove a portion of the formation; a first conduit having therein the flow of suspension of liquid and impactors having exited from the body member discharge and an exit directed to an impactor separation system having a slurry washing step, so that circulation fluid is removed from the impactors; and a second conduit having therein impaclors from the separator separated from the circulation fluid.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the impactor separation system comprises a screen separation process.
3. The system of claim 1 wherein the impactor separation system comprises a magnetic separation process.
4. The system of claim 2 wherein the impactor separation system further comprises a magnetic separation process.
5. The sj'Stem of claim 3 wherein the magnetic separation process includes a rotary drum magnetic separator.
6. The system of claim 1 further comprising a demagnetizer.
AMENDED SHEET (ARTICLE 19)
58
7. The system of claim 6 wherein the demagnetizer is downstream of the impactor separation system.
8. The system of claim 1 further comprising means for controlling the flow of impactors into the second conduit.
9. A method for excavating a subterranean formation, the system comprising: introducing a suspension of liquid and a plurality of impactors into at least one cavity formed in a body member; discharging the suspension from the cavity against the formation so that (he impactors contact the formation and alter a formation physical property by compressing and fracturing the formation to remove a portion of the formation; separating the impactors from at least a portion of the liquid; washing the suspension of liquid and impactors so thai circulation fluid is substantially removed from the impactors; and passing the impactors to a conduit so that a substantial portion of the impactors accumulate in the conduit.
10. The method of claim 9 wherein the separation step includes using screens to separate impactors from other particles and liquids.
1 1. The method of claim 9 wherein the, separation step includes using a rotary magnetic separator to separate impactors from other particles and liquids.
12. The method of claim 10 wherein the separation step further comprises using a rotary magnetic separator.
13. The system of claim 1 further comprising, an impactor flow control so that a substantial portion of the impactors can accumulate in the second conduit.
AMENDED SHEET (ARTICLE 19)
59
14. The system of claim 13 wherein (he impactor flow control comprises an isolation valve within the second conduit, a relief line in communication with the second conduit, a screen provided in the relief line, and a relief valve in the relief line.

100. The compressive zone Zl may have a length Ll, but is not limited to any specific shape or size. The compressive zone Zl may be thermally altered due to impact energy.
[0080] An additional example of a structurally altered zone 102 near a point of impaction may be a zone of micro-fractures Z2. The structurally altered zone Z may be broken or otherwise altered due to the impactor 100 and/or a drill bit 60, such as by crushing, fracturing, or micro-fracturing.
[0081] Fig. 2 also illustrates an impactor 100 implanted into a formation 52 and having created an exixivalion E wherein material has been ejected from or crushed beneath the impactor 100. Thereby the excavation E maybe created, which as illustrated in Fig. 3 may generally conform to the shape of the impactor 100.
[0082] Figs. 3 and 4 illustrate excavations E where the size of the excavation may be larger than the size of the impactor 100a In Fig. 2, the impactor 100 is shown as impacted into the formation 52 yielding an excavation depth D.
[0083] An additional theory for impaction mechanics in cutting a formation 52 may postulate that certain formations 52 may be highly fractured or broken up by impactor energy. Fig. 4 illustrates an interaction between an impaclur 100 and a formation 52. A plurality of fractures F and micro-fractures MF may be created in the formation 52 by impact energy.
[0084] An impactor 100 may penetrate a small distance into the formation 52 and cause the displaced or structurally altered formation 52 to "splay out" or be reduced to small enough particles for the particles to be removed or washed away by hydraulic action.
Hydraulic particle removal may depend at least partially upon available hydraulic horsepower and at least partially upon particle wet-ability and viscosity. Such formation deformation may be a basis for fatigue lailure of a portion of the formation by "impactor contact," as the plurality of solid material impactors 100 may displace formation material back and forth.
