Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates generally to devices for hydraulic fracturing
  • the present disclosure is directed to frac plugs and slips that can be at least partially decomposable and/or can use pressure arms to radially extend the slip from the plug.
  • the fracking process begins by drilling a wellbore into the earth to reach hydrocarbons trapped in shale formations.
  • a perforating gun or other device is then used to create small holes in the wall of the wellbore.
  • Fluid is pumped into the wellbore to form a pressure greater than the fracture gradient of the surrounding formation. This pressure creates large fractures in the shale formation, thus providing access to the oil or natural gas trapped within the formation.
  • the wellbore is divided into separate zones so that the necessary pressure can be established in the zones.
  • the bottom-most zone is typically fractured first, using the above-described process.
  • the driller next inserts a frac plug at the top/uphole side of the tracked zone.
  • a frac plug can stop fluid flow in one or both directions.
  • the frac plug isolates the previously-fracked lower zone from the next zone uphole in the wellbore, thus ensuring that the hydraulic pressure is applied to the unfracked zone and not the previously-fracked lower zone.
  • This process of plugging and fracking continues until the entire production area of the wellbore has been tracked and plugged. The process can involve a dozen or more frac plugs per wellbore.
  • slips and the “seal” expand to engage wellbore sidewalls and create a barrier separating upper and lower regions of the wellbore.
  • the process of expanding the plug is called “setting,” and involves pulling upward on the body of the plug with a setting tool while pushing downward on the slips and the seal with a setting sleeve. This axial compression causes the slips to move outward along a conical element, thus radially expanding the slips into engagement with the wellbore sidewalls to maintain the position of the plug in the wellbore.
  • the setting pressure also causes the malleable seal, usually made from rubber, to expand outward against the well casing to prevent liquid or gas from passing around the plug.
  • the design of the frac plug generally limits its use to wellbores of a diameter that corresponds to the diameter of the expanded slip. For example, if a frac plug is used in a wellbore that is so wide that the expanded slip does not reach the wall of the wellbore, such a frac plug cannot be used in the wellbore; the desired position of the frac plug cannot be maintained in such a wellbore.
  • a tool is used to drill or mill through the plug. After the tool cuts through the slips, the remaining head member is free to move through the well casing and is difficult, if not impossible, to drill by itself. As a result, the tool pushes the head down the well casing until stopped by the next plug. The lower plug holds the upper head member in place so that the drilling process can continue.
  • the time, equipment, labor and energy expended in this process of removing the plugs are costly and thus delay hydrocarbon extraction and decrease profitability.
  • the present disclosure provides a frac plug comprising a first driver; a first pressure arm rotatably connected to the first driver; a second driver; a second pressure arm rotatably connected to the second driver; and a first slip rotatably connected to the first pressure arm and rotatably connected to the second pressure arm.
  • the frac plug further comprises a third driver; a third pressure arm rotatably connected to the third driver; a fourth driver; a fourth pressure arm rotatably connected to the fourth driver; and a second slip rotatably connected to the third pressure arm and rotatably connected to the fourth pressure arm.
  • the frac plug comprises at least one seal
  • the second driver is fixedly connected to and/or integral with a first seal back-up that has a bevel complementary to a first portion of the at least one seal
  • the third driver is fixedly connected to and/or integral with a second seal back-up that has a bevel complementary to a second portion of the at least one seal that is at an opposite end of the at least one seal from the first portion.
  • the first driver comprises an axial slot into which a portion of the first pressure arm inserts.
  • the first driver comprises a socket in which a pin is positioned to extend through the portion of the first pressure arm inserted into the axial slot.
  • the first pressure arm, the first slip, and the second pressure arm each comprise an aperture through which a pin is inserted to connect the first pressure arm, the first slip, and the second pressure arm to each other.
  • the present disclosure provides a fractionation plug comprising a material formulated to decompose in one to twenty-four hours under typical wellbore conditions.
  • the fractionation plug has an outside diameter configured such that the frac plug can be installed in casing or tubing with an inside diameter from 2 inches to 4 inches, such as an inside diameter of 2.259 inches as a non-limiting example.
  • the fractionation plug is configured to be expanded to set in casing or tubing with an inside diameter from 2 inches to 5.5 inches, such as an inside diameter of 5.5 inches as a non-limiting example.
  • the fractionation plug is designed to be installed and maintain isolation of hydrocarbon bearing zones for a predetermined period of time.
  • the fractionation plug is configured to begin to decompose and release from a wellbore in which the fractionation plug is positioned, when subjected to a chemical selected from the group consisting of water, acid, alkaline and non-alkaline, such as brine water as a non-limiting example.
  • the fractionation plug is the fractionation plug is configured to undergo decomposition catalyzed by a temperature of a wellbore and/or a fluid in a wellbore.
  • the fractionation plug is configured to be installed on at least one of e-line, wireline or coil tubing.
  • the fractionation plug is configured to be drilled out with conventional tubing or coiled tubing.

  • the slip comprises: a body comprising a decomposable material; and a coating at least partially covering the body, the coating comprising a metal material.
  • the metal material is formulated to at least partially decompose within one to twenty-four hours after being exposed to a temperature between 150 and 380 °F, and the slip is configured such that the at least partial decomposition of the metal material exposes at least a portion of the body that was previously covered by the coating.
  • the slip comprises teeth comprising exterior surfaces comprising at least a portion of the coating.
  • the teeth form an outer side of the slip, and the coating completely covers the body on at least the outer side of the slip.
  • the decomposable material of the body comprises a decomposable resin.
