- platform 22 comprises 20 slots which each have a dual wellhead to create a multilateral well having, for example, 40 lateral boreholes. It should be noted, however, that the system and methodology described herein for orienting boreholes can be used both with multiple wellheads or with a single grouping of oriented casings associated with a single wellhead 26.
- a conductor tube 34 extends down from platform 22 and into a hole 36 which may be drilled or otherwise formed in a seabed 38.
- the conductor tube 34 is positioned in the hole 36 in a generally vertical orientation and extends upwardly to platform 22.

- this example illustrates the plurality of oriented casings 28 as comprising two oriented casings 28 positioned within conductor tube 34 and connected with wellhead 26 in the form of a dual wellhead.
- the lengths, diameters, and configurations of the various system components may vary.
- the hole 36 may be drilled as a 42 inch hole and the conductor tube 34 may comprise a 36 inch diameter conductor pipe.
- the oriented casings 28 may comprise 16 inch diameter casings and the borehole casings may comprise 13 and 3/8 inch borehole casings.
- other applications may use conductor tubes ranging from 20 to 50 inches in diameter with oriented casings ranging from 6 to 24 inches in diameter that cooperate with borehole casings from 4 to 22 inches in diameter.
- many other diameters and sizes may be used depending on the parameters of a given application.
- the oriented casings 28 may be assembled via modules 48 which are sequentially aligned to position the oriented casings 28 so as to extend along a desired orientation and to provide the desired exit angle and azimuthal orientation.
- An example of module 48 is illustrated in Figures 5-7 and comprises a pair of the oriented casings 28 positioned in the surrounding conductor tube 34.
- Each module 48 may comprise a section of the conductor tube 34 with corresponding sections of the oriented casings 28 such that the sections of conductor tube 34 and corresponding sections of oriented casings 28 are stacked or coupled together in a specific sequence that provides the desired orientation of the internal oriented casings 28.
- modules 48 also may be formed as sections of oriented casings 28 which are stacked within a corresponding conductor tube 34. Additionally, the modules 48 may be formed as sections of oriented casings 28 located in corresponding tubing sections which are then positioned and oriented within the surrounding conductor tube 34. Other configurations of modules 48 also may be used to provide the desired orientation of oriented casings 28 for a given application.
- each module 48 comprises sections of the oriented casings 28 held within a corresponding section of the conductor tube 34 at a desired location with a plurality of plates or centralizers 50.
- the plates or centralizers 50 may be welded or otherwise connected along an interior of the conductor tube 34 so as to provide the desired orientation of casings 28 for a given module 48.
- the sequential modules 48 may be connected together by welding, friction fits, sealed insertion fits, threaded couplers, and/or by other suitable fasteners and/or fastening techniques.
- Sequential modules 48 are oriented with respect to each other via suitable orientation features 52 which, in some applications, are coupled with the centralizers 50 located at the longitudinal ends of the module 48.
- Each module 48 also may be marked with an identifier 54, such as a number or other indicator, which ensures that the appropriate module 48 is joined with the appropriate next sequential module 48 so as to ensure the desired orientation of oriented casings 28 along the entire conductor tube 34.
- the orientation pin 56 extends from one of the centralizers 50 located at a longitudinal end of one module 48 and is received by a corresponding orientation hole 58 located at a corresponding longitudinal end of the next sequential module 48.
- the orientation pin 56 and orientation hole 58 ensure that the oriented casings 28 of sequential modules 48 are properly aligned once the orientation pin 56 is inserted into the corresponding orientation hole 58.
- the centralizers 50 also may be constructed with openings 60 sized for receipt of oriented casings 28.
- the sequential modules 48 are constructed to gradually rotate the orientation of the plurality, e.g. pair, of oriented casings 28 along the conductor tube 34. This gradual rotation of the orientation is illustrated schematically in Figure 10 which shows the differing angular positions of the pin 56 and openings 60 from one module 48 to the next.
- the overall alignment of oriented casings 28 and the desired exit angle and azimuthal orientation at lower outlet ends 40 may be achieved by coupling the appropriate modules 48 according to their indicators 54.
- sequential modules 48 are coupled together sequentially as illustrated in Figure 13. Additionally, the sequential modules 48 may be oriented via orientation pins 56 and corresponding orientation holes 58 located at the ends of each module 48 to ensure proper engagement of sequential modules once they are coupled together according to the identifiers 54.
- a check valve 62 is located in each oriented casing 28. For example, an individual check valve 62 may be positioned proximate a lower end, e.g. proximate lower outlet end 40, of each oriented casing 28.
- the check valves 62 are oriented to allow down flow of fluid into the hole 36, as illustrated by arrows 64, while restricting or blocking up flow of fluid into the oriented casings 28.
- the check valves 62 are useful in cementing operations, e.g. cementing of hole 36, while blocking unwanted upflow of cement into the oriented casings 28.
- a check valve 62 may be omitted from one or more of the oriented casings 28.
- one of the oriented casings 28 may be used for conducting the outward flow of cement as indicated by arrows 64 without having a check valve 62.
- the other oriented casing or casings 28 comprise the check valve(s) 62 to restrict or block the up flow of cement into the other oriented casing or casings.
- the hole 36 is initially drilled into the seabed 38 generally below the region of platform 22.
- the conductor tube 34 is then dropped down into the hole 36.
- a plurality of oriented casings 28, e.g. two oriented casings 28, is arranged and oriented within the conductor tube 34 (see Figure 11).
- the pair of oriented casings 28 may be properly oriented within the corresponding conductor tube 34 during assembly of the conductor tube 34 and the internal oriented casings 28 via sequential modules 48 (see Figure 13).
- the modules 48 may comprise internal modules formed separately from the conductor tube 34 and comprising sections of oriented casings 28 in combination with centralizers 50 and/or a surrounding support tube.
- the internal modules 48 would be assembled and moved down through the conductor tube 34.
- the modules 48 are formed with sections of conductor tube 34 and corresponding centralizers 50, and the oriented casings 28 are inserted down through openings 60 into conductor tube 34 in a manner similar to inserting straws down into a tube.
- a cementing operation may be performed by cementing down through one of the oriented casings 28.
- the cement flows down through the check valve 62 (see Figures 11 and 12) of the oriented casing 28 which is used for conducting the flow of cement (or down through an open, oriented casing 28 if no check valve 62 is employed in the oriented casing 28 used to deliver the cement).
- the check valves 62 collectively block up flow of the cement into the other oriented casing or casings 28.
- the cement flows down into hole 36 and fills the hole 36 up toward, to, or past the lower end of the conductor tube 34 depending on the specifics of a given application.
- the boreholes 32 may be drilled.
- the drilling of each borehole 32 is initiated along a specific predetermined exit angle and azimuthal orientation due to the orientation of the corresponding oriented casing 28.
- the oriented casings 28 in each conductor tube 34 are properly oriented to provide the specific, predetermined exit angle and azimuthal orientation.
- the exit angles and azimuthal orientations are enabled by the appropriate construction and orientation of sections of the oriented casings 28 via assembly of the proper sequence of modules 48 (or by using other suitable orientation mechanisms 42). If check valves 62 are employed, the check valves 62 may be removed by drilling through the check valves or by other suitable removal techniques.
- borehole casings 44 are placed along the boreholes 32 and again are routed out of the corresponding oriented casings 28 with the appropriate, predetermined exit angle and azimuthal orientation. After the borehole casings 44 are properly placed in the corresponding boreholes 32, the borehole casings 44 may be cemented in place by, for example, performing a cementing operation down through one or more of the oriented casings 28. [0037] If more than one conductor tube 34 is positioned, the oriented casings 28 in each conductor tube 34 may be oriented collectively to provide unique exit angles and azimuthal orientations with respect to other oriented casings 28 associated with other conductor tubes 34. For example, certain applications employ platform 22 with multiple platform slots 24, as illustrated in Figure 1, to enable construction of a multilateral well. Each platform slot 24 is associated with the corresponding wellhead 26, e.g. a
- the internal oriented casings 28 associated with each platform slot 24 and corresponding wellhead 26 are uniquely oriented with respect to exit angle and azimuthal orientation with respect to the numerous other internal oriented casings 28. This enables the drilling of the multiple associated boreholes 32 and placement of the multiple corresponding borehole casings 44 in a non-interfering pattern, as illustrated in Figure 14.
- the overall multilateral well system 20 may comprise many types of systems and components for use in a variety of subterranean well applications.
- various types of platforms 22, platform slots 24, and wellheads 26 may be employed.
- the number and arrangement of platform slots 24 and wellheads 26 also may change from one application to another.
- the materials and configurations of the various conductor tubes 34, oriented casings 28, borehole casings 44, orienting mechanisms 42/52, and/or other components may be adjusted according to the parameters of a given application.
- the processes employed may be adjusted according to the environment and/or parameters of a given well application. For example, various techniques may be used for drilling hole 36 and boreholes 32. Similarly, a variety of equipment and techniques may be employed for performing the cementing operations both within hole 36 and along boreholes 32. A number of other and/or additional components may be used to facilitate drilling, cementing, testing, and/or production operations. Many types of configurations also may be used for modules 48 to facilitate assembly of specific sequential modules which ensure that internal oriented casings 28 provide the proper predetermined exit angle and azimuthal orientation so as to enable formation of multiple non-interfering boreholes and associated borehole casings.
