Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to equipment utilized and operations performed in conjunction with a subterranean well and, in an embodiment described herein, more particularly provides a setting tool for an expandable liner hanger and associated methods.
  • Expandable liner hangers are generally used to secure a liner within a previously set casing or liner string. These types of liner hangers are typically set by expanding the liner hangers radially outward into gripping and sealing contact with the previous casing or liner string. Many such liner hangers are expanded by use of hydraulic pressure to drive an expanding cone or wedge through the liner hanger, but other methods may be used (such as mechanical swaging, explosive expansion, memory metal expansion, swellable material expansion, electromagnetic force-driven expansion, etc. ) . The expansion process is typically performed by means of a setting tool used to convey the liner hanger and attached liner into a wellbore. The setting tool is interconnected between a work string (e.g., a tubular string made up of drill pipe or other segmented or continuous tubular elements) and the liner hanger.
  • a work string e.g., a tubular string made up of drill pipe or other segmented or continuous tubular elements
  • the setting tool is generally used to control the communication of fluid pressure, and flow to and from various portions of the liner hanger expansion mechanism, and between the work string and the liner.
  • the setting tool may also be used to control when and how the work string is released from the liner hanger, for example, after expansion of the liner hanger, in emergency situations, or after an unsuccessful setting of the liner hanger.
  • a setting tool and associated methods are provided which solve at least one problem in the art.
  • the setting tool uses multiple expansion cones to expand different portions of the liner hanger.
  • the setting tool is provided in multiple sections which are assembled while running the liner hanger and setting tool into the well.
  • a method of conveying an expandable liner hanger in a subterranean well includes the steps of: conveying the liner hanger into the well on a work string with a setting tool releasably secured to the liner hanger by an anchoring device; applying left- hand rotation to the work string; and then lowering the work string, thereby releasing the anchoring device and permitting the setting tool to be retrieved from within the liner hanger.
  • a method of setting an expandable liner hanger in a subterranean well includes the steps of: forcing an expansion cone through a portion of the liner hanger, thereby expanding the liner hanger portion radially outward; and forcing another expansion cone into another portion of the liner hanger, thereby expanding the second liner hanger portion radially outward.
  • a method of setting an expandable liner hanger in a subterranean well includes the steps of: lowering a liner into the well; then connecting the liner hanger and a lower section of a setting tool to the liner; then lowering the liner hanger and the lower section into the well; and then connecting an upper section of the setting tool to the lower section.

  • the setting tool 20 is releasably secured to the liner hanger 18 by means of an anchoring device 28 (see FIG. 2G) which includes collets 30 engaged with profiles or recesses 32 formed in an outer housing 34 of the liner hanger. When operatively engaged with the recesses 32 and outwardly supported by a support sleeve 36, the collets 30 permit transmission of torque and axial force between the setting tool 20 and the liner hanger 18.
  • the anchoring device 28 can be conveniently released at the conclusion of the setting operation as described more fully below. Briefly, the work string 22 can be lowered after the setting operation to thereby cause the support sleeve 36 to displace downward, so that the support sleeve no longer outwardly supports the collets 30, enabling the setting tool 20 to be retrieved from within the liner hanger 18.
  • the anchoring device 28 can be released, even if the setting tool 20 has not successfully set the liner hanger 18, by rotating the work string 22 to the left (counter-clockwise as viewed from the surface) and then downwardly displacing the work string.
  • the work string 22 is connected to a generally tubular inner mandrel assembly 44 through which the flow passage 40 extends.
  • the threaded connection 24 (between the work string 22 and the setting tool 20) is at an upper end of the inner mandrel 44 assembly (see FIG. 2A).
  • the support sleeve 36 is part of the inner mandrel assembly 44, which is prevented from displacing downwardly relative to the outer housing assembly 48 by dogs or engagement members 38. However, if sufficient downward force is applied to an outer release sleeve 84 to cause shear screws 46 to shear, the release sleeve will be permitted to displace downwardly, releasing the members 38 from their engagement with the inner mandrel assembly 44, and the inner mandrel assembly (including the support sleeve 36) will displace downwardly, thereby unsupporting the collets 30 and allowing them to disengage from the recesses 32.
  • FIGS. 3A & B portions of the setting tool 20 are representatively illustrated after the inner mandrel 44 has displaced downward relative to the outer housing assembly 48.
  • the sheared screws 46 can be seen, along with the downwardly displaced release sleeve 84, the disengagement of the members 38 from the inner mandrel assembly 44, and the manner in which the inner mandrel assembly is downwardly displaced.
  • the work string 22 is used to rotate an upper connector housing 86 counter-clockwise, and to then downwardly displace the connector housing.
  • Inner lugs 88 formed in the connector housing 86 are engaged with a ratchet or J-slot profile 90 formed externally on the inner mandrel assembly 44.
  • the engagement between the lugs 88 and the J-slot profile 90 prevents downward displacement of the connector housing 86 relative to the inner mandrel assembly 44, but if the connector housing is first rotated counterclockwise, so that the lugs 88 enter a downwardly elongated portion of the J-slot profile 90, then the connector housing can displace downwardly relative to the inner mandrel assembly.
  • the connector housing 86 can then contact and apply a downwardly directed force to the release sleeve 84, thereby shearing the shear screws 46, releasing the members 38, and enabling the inner mandrel assembly 44 to displace downwardly relative to the outer housing assembly 48 as discussed above.
  • FIG. 3B it may be seen that the collets 30 are no longer outwardly supported by the support sleeve 36.
  • the collets 30 can now be released from the recesses 32 by raising the inner mandrel assembly 44 (i.e., by picking up on the work string 22).
  • Locking dogs 50 prevent the support sleeve 36 from again supporting the collets 30 as the inner mandrel assembly 44 is raised.
  • the setting tool 20 can be released from the liner hanger 18 at any time.
  • the anchoring device 28 would typically be released after the liner hanger 18 is set in the casing string 12 (i.e., by lowering the work string 22 to downwardly displace the support sleeve 36, and then raising the work string to withdraw the setting tool 20 from the liner hanger), or the anchoring device could be released as a contingency procedure in the event that the liner 16 gets stuck in the wellbore 14 (i.e., by rotating the work string counter-clockwise, then lowering the work string to release the members 38 and downwardly displace the support sleeve, and then raising the work string to withdraw the setting tool 20 from the liner hanger) .
  • the setting tool 20 is actuated to set the liner hanger 18 by dropping or circulating a ball or other type of plug (not shown) into the flow passage 40, so that the plug engages a seal surface 92 (see FIG. 2F) formed in the inner mandrel assembly 44.
  • Increased pressure is applied to the flow passage 40 (via the interior of the work string 22) above the plug to thereby increase a pressure differential from the flow passage to an exterior of the setting tool 20.
  • the exterior of the setting tool 20 corresponds to an annulus 52 between the wellbore 14 (or the interior of the casing string 12) and the work string 22, setting tool 20, liner hanger 18 and liner 16.
  • the increased pressure differential is applied across three pistons 60 interconnected in the outer housing assembly 48 (see FIGS. 2C & D). An upper side of each piston 60 is exposed to pressure in the flow passage 40 via ports 62 in the inner mandrel 44, and a lower side of each piston is exposed to pressure in the annulus 52 via ports 64 in the outer housing assembly 48.
  • a venting device 70 is provided to vent the flow passage 40 to the annulus 52 if a pressure differential across the venting device reaches a predetermined limit.
  • the venting device 70 is representatively illustrated in the drawings as a rupture disk, but other types of venting devices, pressure relief devices, etc. may be used, if desired.
  • expansion cone 66 is positioned at a lower end of the outer housing assembly 48.
  • the expansion cone 66 is depicted as a two-piece element having a lower frusto- conical surface 68 formed thereon which is driven through the interior of the liner hanger 18 to outwardly expand the liner hanger.
  • expansion cone as used herein is intended to encompass equivalent structures which may be known to those skilled in the art as wedges or swages, whether or not those structures include conical surfaces.
  • the differential pressure across the pistons 60 causes each of the pistons to exert a downwardly biasing force on the expansion cone 66 via the remainder of the outer housing assembly 48. These combined biasing forces drive the expansion cone 66 downwardly through the interior of the liner hanger 18, thereby expanding the liner hanger.
  • pistons 60 are illustrated in the drawings and described above, any greater or lesser number of pistons may be used. If greater biasing force is needed for a particular setting tool/liner hanger configuration, then more pistons 60 may be provided. Greater biasing force may also be obtained by increasing a piston area of each of the pistons 60.
  • the setting tool 20 and liner hanger 18 are representatively illustrated in FIGS. 4A-H after the liner hanger has been expanded. Note that the expansion cone 66 has been displaced downward through the liner hanger 18 to thereby expand the liner hanger radially outward.
  • another expansion cone 72 is provided on an exterior of the outer housing assembly 48. This additional expansion cone 72 engages an upper end 76 of the liner hanger 18 at the conclusion of the setting process, to thereby provide a smooth, enlarged entry for subsequent access to the interior of the liner 16 after the setting tool 20 is retrieved.
  • the upper end 76 of the liner hanger 18 has a larger inner diameter D than the inner diameter d of the liner hanger as expanded by the lower expansion cone 66.
  • a bypass closure 94 will be contacted and displaced downward by the outer housing assembly to thereby open ports 74 and provide fluid communication between the exterior of the setting tool 20 and an internal chamber 78 exposed to a lower side of one of the pistons 60 (see FIGS. 4E, 7A & 7B). Since the chamber 78 is also in communication with the ports 64 below the piston 60, this operates to equalize pressure between the flow passage 40 and the annulus 52 (or at least provide a noticeable pressure drop at the surface to indicate that the setting operation is successfully concluded).
  • An alternative way of downwardly displacing the bypass closure 94 is to increase pressure in the passage 40 above the plug sufficiently to shear one or more shear screws 96.
  • the bypass closure 94 has an internal differential pressure area formed therein which causes the sleeve to be biased downwardly by the pressure differential from the passage 40 to the annulus 52.
  • the shear screw 96 is configured so that the pressure differential required to shear the shear screw is greater than that required to displace the expansion cone 66 and expand the liner hanger 18 sufficiently, but is less than the pressure differential required to open the venting device 70.
  • bypass closure 94 will, thus, displace downwardly after the shear screw 96 has sheared, thereby opening the ports 74.
  • a snap ring 98 will prevent the sleeve 94 from displacing upward to close the ports 74.
  • FIG. 7A the bypass closure 94 is depicted prior to the shear screw 96 being sheared, and in FIG. 7B the bypass closure is depicted after it is displaced downward to open the ports 74. Note that, if during a normal setting operation the outer housing assembly 48 is displaced downwardly sufficiently far relative to the inner mandrel assembly 44, so that the outer housing assembly contacts and biases the bypass closure 94 downwardly, it merely needs to shear the shear screw 96.
  • the differential pressure across the piston area in the sleeve 94 will cause the sleeve to displace downward further to open the ports 74.
  • the sleeve 94 opens a relatively large flowpath, and does so relatively quickly, thereby minimizing any erosive effects caused as the pressure in the flow passage 40 is equalized with the pressure in the annulus 52.
  • the setting tool 20 is quite long when assembled so, for purposes of convenient handling, storage, transport, etc., the setting tool includes features which enable it to be assembled as the liner 16, liner hanger 18 and setting tool are being installed into the wellbore 14.
  • the outer housing assembly 48 and inner mandrel assembly 44 can be connected together as the setting tool 20 is being installed.
  • FIG. 5A it can be seen that a lower section of the inner mandrel assembly 44a and a lower section of the outer housing assembly 48a have been connected to the liner hanger 18 at the top of the liner 16.
  • the liner hanger 18 and liner 16 are not visible in FIG. 5A, but it will be appreciated that they are connected to the lower section of the setting tool 20 as described above (e.g., with the collets 30 engaged in the recesses 32 and the expansion cone 66 received within the upper end of the liner hanger) .
  • a spacer block 56 supports a coupling 80a of the inner mandrel assembly 44a in position above a coupling 82 of the outer housing assembly 48a. This keeps the inner mandrel assembly 44a from displacing downwardly relative to the outer housing assembly 48a, which would otherwise operate to release the anchoring device 28.
  • a lift coupling 100 is temporarily connected to an upper end of the coupling 80a for use in lifting the lower section of the setting tool 20 and the liner hanger 18, so that they can be connected to the liner 16 when it is suspended in the slips 54.
  • FIG. 5B it may be seen that the lift coupling 100 has been removed, and an upper section of the inner mandrel assembly 44b and an upper section of the outer housing assembly 48b are now positioned for connecting to the lower section of the inner mandrel 44a the lower section of the outer housing assembly 48a.
  • an upper coupling 80b on the inner mandrel assembly 44b is threaded onto the lower coupling 80a (at which point the inner mandrel assembly 44 is complete and can support the lower sections), the spacer block 56 is then removed, and an outer sleeve 102 is displaced downward to connect the outer housing sections.
  • the setting tool 20 is illustrated after the upper and lower inner mandrel assembly sections 44a, b and the upper and lower outer housing assembly sections 48a, b have been connected to each other, and the setting tool is ready to be lowered into the well.
  • the coupling 80a, b joins serrated ends of the upper and lower inner mandrel assembly sections 44a, b to thereby permit torque to be transmitted through the inner mandrel assembly.
  • the outer sleeve 102 is secured to the upper outer housing section 48b with a threaded connection 104 and abuts a shoulder 106 on the coupling 82, so that compressive force can be transmitted from the upper outer housing assembly section to the lower section during the setting process.
