Definitions
- This disclosure relates generally to equipment utilized and operations performed in conjunction with subterranean wells and, in one example described below, more particularly provides well screens with erosion resistant shunt flow paths.
- Shunt tubes are sometimes used to provide alternate paths for slurry flow in an annulus between a tubular string (such as, a completion string) and a wellbore. In this manner, the slurry can bypass blockages or restrictions (such as, sand bridging) in the annulus.
- slurries can be erosive to well screen components.
- FIG. 1 is a representative partially cross-sectional view of a well system and associated method which can embody principles of this disclosure.
- FIGS. 2 & 3 are elevational and partially cross- sectional views of a well screen which may be used in the system and method.
- FIG. 4 is an elevational view of a shunt tube assembly which may be used in the well screen.
- FIGS. 5 & 6 are representative cross-sectional views of examples of nozzles which may be used with the shunt tube assembly.
- FIGS. 7 & 8 are representative cross-sectional views of examples of sections of the shunt tube assembly.
- FIG. 1 Representatively illustrated in FIG. 1 is a system 10 for use with a well, and an associated method, which system and method can embody principles of this disclosure.
- a tubular string 12 is
- annulus 20 is formed radially between the tubular string 12 and the wellbore 14.
- the wellbore 14 could be uncased or open hole, the wellbore could be generally horizontal or inclined, etc.
- the annulus 20 is not necessarily concentric, since the tubular string 12 could be to one side or another of the wellbore 14, etc.
- FIG. 1 It is desired in the FIG. 1 example to fill the annulus 20 with "gravel" about well screens 24 connected in the tubular string 12.
- a slurry 22 is flowed into the annulus 20, for example, from a surface location.
- the slurry 22 in this example is erosive and may comprise a particulate portion (e.g., sand, gravel,
- the liquid portion may flow inwardly through the well screens 24 into the tubular string 12, and/or out into a formation 26 surrounding the wellbore 14 (e.g., via perforations, not shown, formed through the casing 16 and cement 18), leaving the
- the particulate portion e.g., proppant, etc.
- the particulate portion can flow into fractures formed in the formation 26.
- Such gravel packing, fracturing, etc., operations are well known to those skilled in the art and so are not described further herein. The scope of this disclosure is not limited to any particular gravel packing or fracturing operation being performed in the wellbore 14.
- Part of the slurry 22 is also permitted to flow through shunt tube assemblies 28 extending through the screens 24.
- the shunt tube assemblies 28 provide multiple alternate paths for the slurry 22 flow, in order to prevent voids in the particulate portion which accumulates about the tubular string 12.
- each of the shunt tube assemblies 28 provides fluid communication between sections of the annulus 20 on opposite ends of a corresponding screen 24.
- each of the shunt tube assemblies 28 includes nozzles (not visible in FIG. 1) which direct flow of the slurry 22 outward into the annulus 20 along the screen 24, so that a more even
- FIGS. 2 & 3 an example of a well screen 24 is representatively illustrated in elevational and partially cross-sectional views.
- the screen 24 may be used in the system 10 and method of FIG. 1, or the screen may be used in other systems and methods.
- FIG. 2 a perforated outer shroud 30 of the screen 24 is removed, so that two shunt tube assemblies 28 are visible.
- the outer shroud 30 is shown in FIG. 3.
- the shunt tube assemblies 28 are positioned in a non-concentric annular space between the outer shroud 30 and a filter 32 which encircles a perforated base pipe 34 of the screen 24.
- the filter 32 could comprise a mesh, wire wrap, sintered, woven or other type of filter material.
- a flow passage 36 which extends longitudinally through the base pipe 34 also extends longitudinally in the tubular string 12 when the screen 24 is used in the system 10 and method of FIG. 1.
- the liquid portion of the slurry 22 can flow inwardly through the outer shroud 30, the filter 32 and the base pipe 34, and into the flow passage 36.
- flow of the liquid portion into the passage 36 may be restricted or prevented, until after the fracturing operation.
- FIG. 4 an example of one of the shunt tube assemblies 28 is representatively
- the assembly 28 includes generally parallel tubes 38 , 40 .
- the slurry 22 can flow completely through the tube 38 (e.g., from one screen 24 to another), but a lower end 42 of the tube 40 may be closed off, so that the slurry 22 is directed outward from the tube 40 via nozzles 44 .
- the slurry 22 can flow outwardly through the lower end 42 of the tube 40 , and through the nozzles 44 .
- the shunt tube assemblies 28 described herein are merely one example of a wide variety of different ways in which a shunt flow path can be provided for a slurry in a well. It is not necessary for the shunt tube assemblies 28 to be constructed as depicted in the drawings, the shunt tube assemblies are not necessarily positioned between the outer shroud 30 and the filter 32 or base pipe 34 , the nozzles 44 are not necessarily connected to one of two parallel tubes, the shunt flow path does not necessarily extend through tubes, etc. Thus, it will be appreciated that the scope of this disclosure is not limited to the details of the screen 24 , shunt tube assemblies 28 or nozzles 44 as described herein or depicted in the drawings.
- FIG. 5 an enlarged scale cross-sectional view of a portion of the tube 40 and a nozzle 44 is representatively illustrated.
- the nozzle 44 directs the slurry 22 to flow from an internal shunt flow path 46 to an exterior of the screen 24 (e.g., into the annulus 20 ) .
- An erosion resistant layer 48 protects the nozzle 44 and tube 40 from erosion due to the flow of the erosive slurry 22.
- the erosion resistant layer 48 internally lines the tube 40 and the nozzle 44 in the FIG. 5 example.
- the erosion resistant layer 48 has a hardness and/or erosion resistance which is greater than that of the tube 40 and nozzle 44. In this manner, the layer 48 resists erosion due to flow of the slurry 22.
- the layer 48 may comprise tungsten carbide or another relatively hard and erosion resistant material.
- the tube 40 and nozzle 44 may be made of a softer, more ductile material which is also more susceptible to erosion (such as, mild steel, etc.).
- the nozzle 44 may include a body 50 which is made of steel.
- the tube 40 and nozzle 44 can be relatively inexpensive to manufacture, but with the layer 48 therein, the assembly 28 is more capable of resisting erosion due to the slurry 22 flow.
- the scope of this disclosure is not limited to any particular material used for the tube 40, nozzle 44 and/or layer 48.
- the erosion resistant material may be applied to the interior of the tube 40 and nozzle 44 using various methods.
- the erosion resistant layer 48 may be formed by flame spray, including high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) thermal spray.
- HVOF high-velocity oxy-fuel
- the entire tube 40 is not lined with the erosion resistant layer 48. Instead, a section including the nozzle 44 is separately constructed with the layer 48 therein, and this section is incorporated into the tube 40 (e.g., by welding, threading, slip fitting, etc.). In this manner, the area most susceptible to erosion (the nozzle 44 and adjacent section of the tube 40 ) is provided with the erosion resistant layer 48 , and the remainder of the tube 40 is more economical to manufacture.
- FIG. 6 an enlarged scale cross-sectional view of an intersection of the tubes 38 , 40 is representatively illustrated.
- the slurry 22 can flow from the tube 38 to the tube 40 , which directs the slurry 22 to flow from an
- the flow path 46 has a smaller cross-sectional area in the tube 40 , and so a velocity of the slurry 22 in the tube 40 can increase. Such increased velocity can cause increased erosion near the intersection of the tubes 38 , 40 .
- An erosion resistant layer 48 protects the intersection of the tubes 38 , 40 from erosion due to the flow of the erosive slurry 22 .
- the erosion resistant layer 48 internally lines the intersection of the tubes 38 , 40 in the FIG. 5 example .
- the erosion resistant layer 48 has a hardness and/or erosion resistance which is greater than that of the tubes 38 , 40 . In this manner, the layer 48 resists erosion due to flow of the slurry 22 .
- the layer 48 may comprise tungsten carbide or another composite or relatively hard and erosion resistant material.
- the tubes 38 , 40 may be made of a softer, more ductile material which is also more susceptible to erosion (such as, mild steel, etc.).
- the tube 40 may include a body 50 which is made of steel. In this manner, the tubes 38 , 40 can be relatively inexpensive to manufacture, but with the layer 48 therein, the assembly 28 is more capable of resisting erosion due to the slurry 22 flow.
- the scope of this disclosure is not limited to any particular material used for the tubes 38 , 40 , and/or layer 48 .
- the erosion resistant material may be applied to the interior of the tubes 38 , 40 using various techniques, such as, cladding, coating, spraying, explosive forming, molding, etc.
- the scope of this disclosure is not limited to any particular technique for providing the layer 48 in the tubes 38 , 40 .
- a section of the tube 40 in which the slurry 22 is induced to change direction is lined with the erosion resistant layer 48 . In this manner, erosive effects due to the change in direction of the slurry 22 flow are mitigated.
- any separate section of the tube(s) 38 and/or 40 can be separately constructed with the layer 48 therein, and this section incorporated into the tube(s) 38 , 40 (e.g., by welding, threading, slip fitting, etc.).
- the layer 48 can be applied to any or all sections of the tube(s) 38 , 40 .
- the areas most susceptible to erosion e.g., areas experiencing relatively high velocity slurry 22 flow, areas where the slurry flow experiences a change in direction, etc.
- the remainder of the tube(s) 38 , 40 can be more

- the erosion resistant layer 48 may internally line the shunt flow path 46.
- the erosion resistant layer 48 may be positioned in a section of the shunt flow path 46 having a reduced cross-sectional area, and/or in a section of the shunt flow path 46 having a change in direction, and/or in a section of the shunt flow path 46 comprising an intersection between shunt tubes 38, 40.
- the shunt flow path 46 may provide fluid communication between opposite ends of the well screen 24, and/or between an interior and an exterior of the well screen 24.
- the body 50 can comprise a steel material.
- the erosion resistant layer 48 can comprise a tungsten carbide material.
- the erosion resistant layer 48 may comprise a coating applied to an interior of a shunt tube 38, 40.
