  • a liner in the sense of this invention is thus a wellbore equipment, especially oil wellbore equipment.
  • Such a liner may act as a pipe and forms a conduit.
  • a sidewall or jacket of the liner is thus the sidewall of a pipe or conduit and has a proximal end and a distal end such that medium can be transported through the liner from the proximal end to the distal end and/or vice versa.
  • the temporary plugs are preferably removable by using a plugging medium that dissolves upon exposure to elevated temperature and/or an activation fluid, preferably an aqueous fluid.
  • a plugging medium which dissolves in an activation fluid and especially in an aqueous fluid can for example be a salt.
  • the temporary plugs are mechanical plugs that are removable by application of pressure cycles.
  • the inventive liner comprises a liner top packer which isolates the liner top such that during operation all fluid flow is through the nozzles. It is also preferred that the inventive liner comprises a liner shoe and a liner shoe shut off device, wherein the liner shoe shut off device allows circulation during displacement operations and subsequently isolates the liner shoe.
  • the liner shoe shut off device can be shut by electronics activated by timer, Radio-frequency identification (RFID), pressure, flow or any combination of these.

  • the present invention further provides a method of completing an open hole well that penetrates a subterranean formation in which a liner having a sidewall in which one or more nozzles are formed, wherein the one or more nozzles are plugged by temporary plugs, is deployed in the well such that the nozzles communicate with the formation. It is preferred that a liner shoe shut off valve is deployed to allow initial fluid displacement through the liner with plugged nozzles. It is further preferred that after positioning of the liner the temporary plugs are removed from the nozzles.
  • the application further teaches the use of temporary plugs which can be removed by non-physical means or intervention free methods. This is achieved by using a plug made from a specific material or medium. The medium is ultimately dissolved, which provides for production flow through the nozzle, which is no longer obstructed. The dissolving of the plug is due to the nature of the medium and the exposure of this medium to temperature or activation fluid (typically an aqueous fluid). A mechanical plug may be used, and removed by application of pressure cycles.

  • the invention relates to the field of oil well drilling and more particularly to oil well completion and liners for achieving such a completion.
  • the process in which the inventive liner can be advantageously used preferably involves providing a pre-punctured liner having plugged nozzles extending through the punctured holes.

  • the well is provided with nozzles that extend through the liner and communicate with the formation.
  • the nozzles provide negligible pressure drop in a steady state production scenario while in a transient high rate injection scenario sufficient pressure drop is achieved to allow for even distribution of injection fluids.
  • Temporary plugs are located in the nozzle throat such that initially the nozzles act as a blank piece of pipe.
  • a liner shoe shut off valve is deployed to allow initial fluid displacement through the liner with plugged nozzles.
  • the liner with temporary plugs is deployed in the well in a non-aqueous fluid.
  • the temporary plugs in conjunction with other components allow for displacement of non-aqueous fluids through the casing/liner during deployment to assist with reaching final placement depth. Once the liner is positioned, the temporary plugs allow for displacement of the wellbore from nonaqueous fluid to aqueous fluid. Thereafter, the temporary plugs are removed from the nozzles to provide unobstructed production and injection flow paths to the formation and unobstructed internals of the casing/liner for future intervention. Temporary plugs may be removed by a variety of intervention free methods such as: temperature dissolved materials, aqueous fluid dissolved materials, pressure actuated valves.
  • a shut off valve isolates the shoe and ensures all future production and injection fluids pass through the nozzles once the temporary plugging mechanism is removed.
  • a delayed actuated liner top packer is set once the aqueous fluid displacement operation is complete.
  • Liner top packer with delayed activation (until after aqueous fluid displaced). Once set, this packer isolates the liner top ensuring all fluid flow is through the nozzles.

  • Temporary plugs can be removed by using a plugging medium that is dissolved with time and exposure to temperature and/or an activation fluid (typically an aqueous fluid) or a mechanical plug that is removed by application of pressure cycles.
  • Temporary plugs must be designed to withstand differential pressure generated by the displacement operations across the device and provide sufficient time delay before removal to complete same.
  • Temporary plugs can be removed by using a plugging medium that is dissolved with time and exposure to temperature and/or an activation fluid (typically an aqueous fluid) or a mechanical plug that is removed by application of pressure cycles. Plugs would be required to withstand suitable differential pressure to allow displacement of the nonaqueous fluid with aqueous fluid at high rate. If temperature or activation fluid dissolution method is utilised, sufficient delay is required to enable deployment of the liner in an extended reach application.

  • Plugs would be required to withstand suitable differential pressure to allow displacement of the nonaqueous fluid with aqueous fluid at high rate. If temperature or activation fluid dissolution method is utilised, sufficient delay is required to enable deployment of the liner in an extended reach application.
  • the method described provides significant operational time and cost savings over the historical method.
  • the method described allows the pre-drilled liner to be washed, floated and/or reamed to total depth in extended reach applications.
  • the nature of the temporary plugging of the nozzles in conjunction with the shut off shoe and liner top may also allow for the liner to be utilised as a tested barrier for upper completion operations.
