Definitions

  • This disclosure relates generally to equipment utilized and operations performed in conjunction with a subterranean well and, in one example described below, more particularly provides for locking a safety joint in an extended
  • a safety joint is typically interconnected in a tubular string to allow the tubular string to be parted at the safety joint, for example, in the event that a packer or other equipment becomes stuck in a wellbore. After the safety joint separates, the tubular string above the safety joint can be readily retrieved from the wellbore.
  • the safety joint can include separable portions which, when separated, disconnect sections of a tubular string. Elongation of the safety joint is permitted while longitudinal compression of the safety joint is prevented.
  • FIG. 1 is a representative partially cross-sectional view of a well system and associated method which can embody principles of this disclosure.
  • FIG. 2 is a partially cross-sectional view of a prior art packer.
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a safety joint which can embody principles of this disclosure, and which may be used in the system and method of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 1 Representatively illustrated in FIG. 1 is a well system 10 and associated method which can embody principles of this disclosure.
  • system 10 and method are merely one example of how the principles of this disclosure can be applied in practice, and so the scope of this disclosure is not limited at all to the details of the system and method as depicted in the drawings and described below.
  • the tubular string 12 could be used for any purpose
  • one or more perforating guns 26 are interconnected in the tubular string 12 for perforating the casing 18 and cement 16, so that fluid can be produced from, or injected into, an earth formation 28 penetrated by the wellbore 14.
  • the formation 28 can then be tested by performing pressure buildup and drawdown tests, in a manner well known to those skilled in the art.
  • the packer 20 is representatively illustrated, apart from the remainder of the system 10.
  • the packer 20 may be similar in many respects to a prior art RTTS(TM) packer marketed by Halliburton
  • the drag block 42 is biased into contact with an inner wall of the casing 18 (or the formation 28 in an uncased wellbore) and thereby provides a frictional force, so that the mandrel 34 will displace downward relative to the seal elements 38, slips 40 and drag block when the J- slot mechanism is operated to its "set” position (allowing downward displacement of the mandrel relative to the drag block 42, etc.).
  • the preventing step may include a locking device 78 engaging, thereby preventing the end connectors 48, 50 from displacing toward each other.
  • the locking device 78 can comprise a resilient toothed member.
  • the locking device 78 may engage an external surface 82 of a generally tubular mandrel 46 of the safety joint 30.
  • the external surface 82 can comprise a toothed surface which is engaged by the locking device 78.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne un joint de sécurité à utiliser dans un puits souterrain, comprenant optionnellement des parties séparables qui, quand elles sont séparées, déconnectent les sections d'une colonne de production. Ledit joint de sécurité peut s'allonger mais sa compression longitudinale est empêchée. L'invention concerne en outre un procédé d'actionnement d'un joint de sécurité dans un puits souterrain, comprenant les étapes consistant à : utiliser le joint de sécurité comprenant des connecteurs d'extrémité qui interconnectent le joint de sécurité entre sections d'une colonne de production ; permettre l'allongement du joint de sécurité de façon à faciliter le désaccouplement des sections de colonne de production et empêcher la compression longitudinale du joint de sécurité. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, ledit joint de sécurité comprend des parties séparables et un dispositif de blocage qui permet le déplacement relatif entre un mandrin généralement tubulaire et un composant du joint de sécurité dans une direction, et qui empêche le déplacement relatif du mandrin et du composant dans un sens opposé.
