Definitions
- the present invention relates to a downhole system for performing an operation in a well downhole, comprising an elongated tubing string for conducting fluid in the well.
- Hydrocarbon wells often have more than one branch or lateral radiating from the main borehole.
- the laterals may again have laterals and be of various lengths.
- the borehole is treated with acid to make the hydrocarbon-containing fluid flow and the production is initiated.
- the coiled tubing is pushed down through the borehole or cased hole into the lateral.
- the coiled tubing is pushed down from surface, it tends to curl as its moves into the lateral which is more horizontal than the main borehole, and at some point the coiled tubing gets stuck in the lateral.
- the laterals are therefore not made as long as it is actually possible to drill them, as the later acid and service equipment is not able to enter the last part of such long laterals, as the known equipment cannot enter laterals with such a small diameter.
- a downhole system for performing an operation in a well downhole comprising:
- a fluid-driven driving section comprising a pump driven by the fluid supplied through the shaft for propelling the fluid-driven driving section and the tubing string forward in the well
- system further comprises an electrically driven driving section comprising an electrical motor powered by the generator for propelling the driving section and the tubing string forward in the well, the fluid-driven driving section being arranged between the generator and the electrically driven driving section.
- the pump may be driven by the shaft of the turbine.
- the elongated tubing string may be coiled tubing.
- the driving sections may have outer diameters of less than 7 inches, preferably less than 6 inches, and more preferably less than 5 inches.
- the tubing string may have a length of at least 5 km, preferably a length of at least 7 km, more preferably a length of at least 9 km, and even more preferably a length of at least 10 km.
- the generator and the electrical motor may be electrically connected through an electrical connection extending through the fluid-driven driving section.
- the fluid from the tubing string may be supplied to the pump of the fluid- driven driving section through a fluid channel extending through the turbine and the generator.
- a pressure control valve may be arranged in the fluid channel for reducing the passage of fluid to the pump of the fluid-driven driving section.
- a flow diverter valve may be arranged in the fluid channel for diverting the fluid supplied to the channel to the turbine.
- the driving section may comprise propelling units contacting an inner surface of the well for propelling the driving sections forward in the well.
- the propelling units may be non-hydraulically driven units and driven by the electrical motor.
- the propelling units may be wheels contacting an inner surface of the well.
- each wheel may be arranged on a projectable wheel arm.
- the wheel arms of the fluid-driven driving section may project in a first direction from a section housing, and the wheel arms of the electrically driven driving section may project in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction.
- the electrical motor may drive the wheels of the electrically driven driving section.
- each propelling unit of the electrically driven driving section may comprise an electrical motor powered by the generator.
- the electrically driven driving section may comprise a pump driven by the electrical motor for driving the electrically driven driving section forward in the well.
- the downhole system may further comprise a second electrically driven driving section driven by the generator through an electrical connection in the other electrically driven driving section arranged closest to the tubing string.
- the electrically driven driving section arranged closest to the tubing string may comprise a pump for driving hydraulically driven propelling units.
- the second electrically driven driving section may comprise propelling units which are non-hydraulically driven units.
- each propelling unit of the second electrically driven driving section may comprise an electrical motor powered by the generator.
- the electrically driven driving section may comprise a rechargeable battery.
- the downhole system may further comprise a flow diverter for diverting at least part of the fluid from the tubing string into the well.
- the flow diverter may be arranged in a dispersion unit for dispersion of fluids, such as chemical reactants in the well.
- the chemical reactants may be acid or base containing fluid.
- the downhole system may further comprise an inflation unit for shielding the driving section while a stimulation operation is performed or the well is treated with an acid or base containing fluid. Furthermore, the downhole system may comprise a detachment unit for detaching the driving section from the tubing string.
- the detachment unit may be comprised in the dispersion unit.
- the downhole system may comprise several electrically driven driving sections, all powered by the generator.
- the downhole system may comprise several generators driven by the shaft.
- the present invention relates to a stimulation method for performing acid treatment of a long lateral by the downhole system described above, comprising the steps of:
- Fig. 1 shows a downhole system according to the present invention
- Fig. 2 shows a side view of a downhole system according to the invention
- Fig. 3 shows a side view of another downhole system according to the invention
- Fig. 4 shows a side view of the downhole system according to Fig. 1,
- Fig. 5 shows a side view of another embodiment of the downhole system
- Fig. 6 shows a cross-sectional view of the fluid-driven driving section shown in Fig. 4,
- Fig. 7 shows a side view of another downhole system
- Fig. 8 shows a side view of yet another downhole system
- Fig. 9 shows a side view of yet another downhole system in its deflated position
- Fig. 10 shows the downhole system in its inflated and detached position.
- Fig. 1 shows a hydrocarbon well 2 having laterals radiating from a main borehole 12.
- a tubing string 3 also called coiled tubing
- the driving sections 5, 10 propel themselves and the tubing string within a casing 15 in the lateral.
- the driving sections 5, 10 are connected with the end 14 of the tubing string which is the furthest away from a well head 30 at the top of the well at the surface or seabed.
- the tubing string When entering long laterals by forcing a tubing string down the well, the tubing string will curl at some point - also called the "coiled tubing hang-up point" - which causes the string to get stuck.
- the end of the tubing string is forced forward, preventing the string from curling and getting stuck, and the tubing string is thereby pulled further into the lateral beyond the hang-up point.
- laterals are made as long as operation and service equipment are able to operate and service along the entire length of the lateral. Once the operation equipment is able to enter further into the ground, the borehole and the laterals can be made longer. Laterals are made with a substantially smaller diameter than the main borehole, which limits the diameter of the equipment and service tools and thus the types of equipment and tools capable of entering even the final and smallest part of a long lateral. Before a well is able to produce, it is subjected to acid treatment. In order to treat even the final part of the lateral, i.e. the part which is the furthest away from the main borehole, with acid, the tubing string supplying the acid needs to be pulled almost all the way to the end of the lateral.
- tubing string will curl, which will render acid treatment of the entire lateral impossible and thereby prevent it from producing hydrocarbons.
- Pulling tools which are able to pull the tubing in the narrow and long laterals therefore need to be self-powered as they cannot be powered sufficiently through wireline from surface.
- a turbine 7 is connected with the tubing string and is driven by high pressure fluid supplied through the tubing string from the top of the well.
- the turbine 7 drives a generator 9 supplying power through the fluid-driven driving section 5 to the electrically driven driving section 10.
- the driving sections enter the end or final part of the lateral, the lateral diameter is highly reduced, meaning that the diameter of the driving sections needs to be equally smaller. Therefore, there is no room in the first fluid-driven driving section for supplying fluid to a second driving section, and the second driving section therefore needs to be electrically driven, as electricity can be conducted through the fluid-driven driving section to the next electrically driven driving section 10.
- the electrically driven driving section 10 comprises propelling units 18 in the form of wheels, and each wheel comprises an electrical motor for rotating the wheel and propelling the driving unit and the tubing string forward in the well.
- the electrically driven driving section comprises non-hydraulically driven propelling units which are directly driven by the generator 9 through a control package 25.
- the downhole system may comprise several electrically driven driving sections arranged successively and all driven by the generator, as shown in Figs. 9 and 10.
- the propelling units 18 of the electrically driven driving section 10 may also be rotating units 36 around which a track 37 is arranged as shown in Fig. 3.
- One rotating unit 18 per track comprises an electrical motor 11 driving the track 37 or belt and thus propelling the driving section forward in the well.
- the fluid-driven driving section 5 comprises a pump 6.
- the pump 6 is either driven by the rotational shaft of the turbine or by the fluid which is supplied to the pump through a fluid channel 16 penetrating the turbine 7 and the generator 9.
- the electrically driven driving section 10 comprises the electrical motor 11 powered by the generator for providing a propelling motion of the electrically driven driving section 10.
- the propelling units of the second driving section are driven by the motor 11 arranged between the driving sections, said motor driving a pump which drives an internal separate hydraulic system driving hydraulic motors in each wheel of the second driving section 10.
- the driving sections comprise propelling units 18, such as wheels 39, for contacting an inner surface of the casing or borehole in the well, as shown in Figs. 2, 4-5, and 7-10.
- the wheels 39 are arranged on projectable wheel arms 19 projecting from a housing 20 of the driving sections 5, 10.
- the wheel arms of the fluid-driven driving section project in a first direction 21 from a section housing, and the wheel arms of the electrically driven driving section project in a second direction 22 substantially perpendicular to the first direction.
- the wheels are pressed into contact with the inner face of the casing or borehole by the projectable wheel arms for propelling the driving sections forward in the well.
- the wheels of the fluid-driven driving section are rotated as each wheel comprises a hydraulic motor 23. All the hydraulic motors 23 of the fluid-driven driving section 5 are driven by the pump 6.
- the wheels of the electrically driven driving section shown in Fig. 5 are also driven by a pump 24 comprised in the electrically driven driving section, which pump is driven by the electrical motor and drives the hydraulic motors 23 in each wheel 39.
- the wheels 39 of the electrically driven driving section 10 each comprises an electrical motor 11 powered by the generator 9.
- the electrically driven driving section 10 may comprise a control package 25 and
- the rechargeable battery 26 may be charged as the tubing string is pushed down into the first part of the well where there is no risk of the tubing string curling and getting stuck, and when the tubing string enters the last part of the well, the electrically driven driving section 10 is activated to pull the end of the tubing string into the lateral.
- the generator 9 generates electricity for powering the electrical motor arranged in the electrically driven driving section.
- the generator and the electrical motor are electrically connected through an electrical connection 17 extending through the fluid-driven driving section 5, as shown in Fig. 6.
- a pressure control valve 28 is arranged in the fluid channel 16 for reducing the passage of fluid to the pump of the fluid-driven driving section. In this way, the pressure of the pressurised fluid does not need to be controlled as accurately from surface to avoid harming the components of the pump. If the pressure of the fluid is too high and in order to prevent damage of the components of the turbine and the generator, a flow diverter 29 is arranged in connection with the turbine for diverting at least part of the fluid supplied to the turbine out through an outlet 33 and into the well surrounding the downhole system, as shown in Fig. 5.
- a flow diverter valve 31 is arranged in the fluid channel for diverting the fluid supplied to the channel to the turbine, and thus, if the pressure of the fluid in the channel is too high, more fluid is allowed to pass through the turbine.
- the downhole system may comprise a flow diverter 29, as shown in Fig. 5, for diverting at least part of the fluid from the tubing string into the well to eliminate the need for detaching the driving sections to let the fluid out of the tubing to perform the acid treatment or acid stimulation of the well.
- the flow diverter 29 is arranged in a dispersion unit 32 for dispersion of a chemical reactant, such as acid, in the well which is supplied to the chemical dispersion unit through the tubing string 3.
- the dispersion unit 32 comprises a ball seat 40 which is activated by dropping a ball 41 down the tubing string to move the seat and enable passage of the fluid to the outlets 33.
- the ball in the ball seat closes the passage of fluid to the turbine.
- a downhole system comprising both a fluid-driven driving section and an electrically driven driving section is shown in Fig. 7.
- This downhole system further comprises an operational tool arranged in front of the driving section and the furthest away from the tubing string.
- the operational tool 38 shown in Figs. 2 and 7 may be any kind of tool, such as a setting tool, a release tool, a stroker tool, a key tool, a logging tool, etc. Due to the enormous amount of power in the pressurised fluid in the tubing string, the logging tool may operate when the tubing string is pulled down into the well without diminishing the propelling speed of the driving sections.
- the downhole system shown in Fig. 9 comprises an inflation unit 35.
- the inflation unit 35 is inflated to shield the driving section while performing a stimulation operation, such as treating the well with acid or base containing fluid.
- the inflation unit 35 can be any kind of packer inflatable by high pressure fluid.
- the inflation unit 35 is inflated e.g .
- the downhole system may further comprise a detachment unit 43 arranged inside the dispersion unit 32 for detaching the driving sections from the tubing string, as shown in Fig. 9.
- Each driving section comprises a battery 26 and a control package 25 so that when the driving sections are detached from the tubing string and when e.g. the acid treatment has been performed, the driving sections are able to propel themselves out of the well.
- the detachment of the tubing string may take place when the second ball is dropped and the ball seat is moved into a second position where the tubing string is detached from the driving section, thus allowing the fluid to enter into the well.
- the inflation unit has been inflated and the driving sections have been detached from the tubing string, as shown in Fig. 10, the tubing string may be pulled backwards, and the stimulation operation, such as the acid treatment, may be initiated.
- the detached tubing string may be pulled further backwards to prevent damage of the driving sections while e.g. the acid treatment is performed .
- Timers may be used for deflating the inflation unit and activating the driving section to propel themselves out of the well.
- the electrical motor of the electrically driven driving section may also drive a gearing system driving the propelling units 18 or belts, and one electrical motor is thus able to drive several propelling units or even all propelling units.
- this electrically driven driving section is driven by the generator through an electrical connection 17 in the other electrically driven driving section arranged closest to the tubing string.
- this electrically driven driving section can be mounted onto the tubing string for pulling the tubing string forward in the well.
- the electrically driven driving section arranged closest to the tubing string may comprise a pump for driving the hydraulically driven propelling units each comprising a hydraulic motor 23.
- an electrically driven driving section powered by the generator may comprise electrical motors in each wheel or hydraulic motors in each wheel, the hydraulic motors being driven by a pump driven by the electricity from the generator.
- the downhole system may comprise several electrically driven driving sections all powered by the generator, as shown in Fig. 8.
- the downhole system may also comprise several generators driven by the output shaft 8 of the turbine in order to gain more power for pulling the tubing string.
- the downhole system is mounted by connecting the turbine with the tubing string and connecting the generator with the turbine so that the generator is driven by the output shaft 8. Then, the fluid-driven driving section is connected with the turbine so that the fluid channel 16 is connected with the pump 6 of the fluid-driven driving section, and the electrically driven driving section is then connected with the fluid-driven driving section so that electricity is conducted from the generator through the fluid- driven driving section to the electrically driven driving section.
- the pressurised fluid is supplied down the tubing string to the turbine and the fluid channel.
- tubing string is pulled directly into the lateral by the fluid-driven driving section by means of the pressurised fluid and by the electrically driven driving section by means of the turbine, the generator and the electrical motor.
- fluid having a particular composition e.g. an acid or base concentration, or fluid comprising enzymes, is supplied down through the tubing string to an outlet 33 in the downhole system for treating the lateral with acid.
- the downhole system may comprise a dispersion unit 32 for dispersion of the fluid, such as acid or base, into the lateral.
- the dispersion unit may also comprise valves angled so that the unit is rotated as the pressurised acid containing fluid enters through the valves.
- Driving sections capable of containing long laterals may have an outer diameter of less than 5 inches and more preferably less than 4 inches.
- long laterals is meant laterals, branches or side tracks having a length of at least 4 km, more preferably a length of at least 5 km, and more preferably a length of at least 7 km.
- fluid or well fluid any kind of fluid that may be present in oil or gas wells downhole, such as natural gas, oil, oil mud, crude oil, water, or a chemical composition, such as an acid composition.
- gas is meant any kind of gas composition present in a well, completion, or open hole
- oil is meant any kind of oil composition, such as crude oil, an oil-containing fluid, etc.
- Gas, oil, and water fluids may thus all comprise other elements or substances than gas, oil, and/or water, respectively.
- a casing any kind of pipe, tubing, tubular, liner, string etc. used downhole in relation to oil or natural gas production.
- the driving sections may be a downhole tractor or any kind of driving tool capable of pushing or pulling tools in a well downhole, such as a Well Tractor®.
