Definitions
- the present invention relates to a lateral junction assembly for providing a lateral junction in a wellbore by being inserted into a casing having an opening and defining a longitudinal axis. Furthermore, the invention relates to a lateral junction system for providing a lateral junction in a wellbore. Moreover, the invention relates to a wireline tool for transporting, positioning and assembling a lateral junction assembly in a casing. Finally, the present invention relates to a method of installing a lateral junction assembly in a wellbore.
- a lateral wellbore is a branch of a primary wellbore and is often referred to as a lateral or side track. If a well has a plurality of laterals, it is referred to as a multi-lateral.
- Designing wells with laterals is a way of increasing the yield of an oil or gas field and may contribute to reducing the costs associated with drilling operations. Laterals may be created before the well is completed or at a later stage after the well has been cased. When making a lateral after the well has been cased, the junction between the primary casing and the lateral has to be installed at the location downhole. It is very difficult to perform a welding operation downhole, and the sealing between the lateral junction and the casing often fails.
- U.S. Patent 5,388,648 discloses different solutions wherein deformable devices are utilised for sealing the junction between vertical and lateral wells.
- Different types of deformable devices are lowered into a well prior to or after the well has been cased. Subsequently, the devices are deformed to obtain the intended shape of the lateral junction and cemented in place.
- a disadvantage in this respect is the use of cement or other curable liquid in the design of a lateral junction between a primary well and a lateral well.
- to deform the device subsequently induces the risk of leaks. Laterals are created downhole, and the precision of such operation may therefore be difficult to control, constituting a limiting feature.
- it is important that the lateral junction is properly sealed to avoid outflow from the casing back into the formation.
- a lateral junction assembly for providing a lateral junction in a wellbore by being inserted into a casing having an opening (61) and defining a longitudinal axis, the lateral junction assembly having a longitudinal direction which is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis and comprising :
- a pipe module comprising a pipe section for being inserted through the opening in the casing and a flange
- the lateral junction assembly further comprises a fixation element adapted for being connected with the flange to fixate the pipe module in a predetermined location with the pipe section extending through the opening in the casing.
- the pipe section may extend from a first surface of the flange, and the fixation element, when connected to the flange, may extend from a second surface of the flange opposite the first surface of the flange.
- the lateral junction assembly may further comprise a sealing element arranged at the first surface of the flange.
- the assembly may comprise two or more fixation elements.
- the side edges of the fixation elements and the side edges of the flange may be provided with indentations or grooves or serrations to improve the bonding properties between the side edges of the fixation elements and between the side edges of the flange and the side edges of the fixation elements.
- the one or more fixation elements may be sections of a hollow cylinder.
- the one or more fixation elements may be sections of a circular ring.
- a cross-section of the flange may constitute a first part of a circular ring and the one or more fixation elements may constitute a second and remaining part of the circular ring.
- the lateral junction assembly may comprise one or more fixation elements distributed in the longitudinal direction of the lateral junction assembly.
- the lateral junction assembly may comprise one or more fixation elements positioned adjacent to a first edge of the flange and one or more fixation elements positioned adjacent to a second edge of the flange.
- the lateral junction assembly may comprise one or more fixation elements positioned substantially in a middle part of the flange in the longitudinal direction.
- the lateral junction assembly may comprise two or more pipe modules.
- the pipe module may comprise two or more pipe sections extending from the flange.
- An advantage in this respect is that the distance between two laterals may be controlled by the distance between the pipe sections extending from the flange. Thus, the distance between two laterals does not have to be measured out.
- the present invention furthermore relates to a lateral junction system for providing a lateral junction in a wellbore, the lateral junction system comprising :
- a primary casing having an inner surface and at least one opening, the primary casing defining a longitudinal axis, and
- a modular system having modules that can be transported to a desired location downhole and assembled to create a lateral junction.
- the modular system can be retrofitted to old wells or used in the completion of new wells.
- the modular system does not require precision welding to provide a liquid- tight lateral junction.
- the modules can be welded together to increase the strength of the system, but the welding does not affect the quality of the seals.
- the lateral junction may comprise a lateral casing adapted to be connected to the pipe section of the pipe module.
- the pipe module may have an extension in a transverse plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the extension being smaller than an inner diameter of the casing.
- each of the fixation elements may have an extension in a transverse plane which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the extension being smaller than an inner diameter of the casing.
- a cross-section of the flange may constitute a first part of a circular ring, and the one or more fixation elements may constitute a second and remaining part of the circular ring, an outer periphery of the ring being substantially equal to or slightly larger than an inner periphery of the casing.
- the present invention further relates a wireline tool for transporting, positioning and assembling a lateral junction assembly as described above, the wireline tool comprising :
- the present invention relates to a method of installing a lateral junction assembly in a weiibore having a casing with at least one opening, the method comprising the steps of:
- the side edges of the flange of the pipe module and side edges of the one or more fixation elements may be joined by cold welding caused by the side edges being pressed against each other.
- the fixation element may be a flexible member for pushing the pipe section through an opening in the flange.
- the fixation element may comprise multiple spring members for pushing the pipe section through an opening in the flange.
- the lateral junction assembly as described above may further comprise one or more locking devices extending from the pipe section and being adapted to fixate the pipe section in an activated position wherein the pipe section extends through the opening in the flange.
- the lateral junction assembly as described above may further comprise one or more activation members adapted to prevent the pipe section from being pushed through the opening in the casing by the fixation element.
- the present invention also relates to a lateral junction system for providing a lateral junction in a wellbore, comprising :
- a primary casing having an inner surface and at least one opening, the primary casing defining a longitudinal axis, and
- the present invention relates to a wireline tool for transporting, positioning and activating a lateral junction assembly as described above in a casing, the wireline tool comprising :
- the present invention relates to a method of installing a lateral junction assembly in a wellbore having a casing with at least one opening, the method comprising the steps of:
- This method may further comprise the step of pulling or pushing an expander cone past the lateral junction assembly downhole, whereby the pipe section is pushed through the opening in the flange and the opening in the casing.
