Definitions
- the present invention relates to a degradable downhole plug used in hydraulic fracturing.
- the hydraulic fracturing method generates perforations and fractures in the production layer by fluid pressure such as water pressure (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "water pressure"), and collects and recovers hydrocarbon resources through the fractures and the like.
- the production zone is a zone producing hydrocarbon resources such as petroleum such as shale oil or natural gas such as shale gas.
- Hydraulic fracturing generally drills vertical holes and then bends vertical holes to drill horizontal holes in several thousand meters of underground. Thereafter, a fluid such as a fracturing fluid is fed at high pressure into the wellbore to cause a crack or the like in the underground production layer by water pressure. Then, hydrocarbon resources are collected and recovered through the fracture and the like.
- a wellbore means the hole provided in order to form a well, and it may be called a "downhole.”
- downhole plugs are known as one of these downhole tools.
- the downhole plug is installed in the wellbore for closing a part of the wellbore.
- the downhole plug is referred to as a flack plug, bridge plug or packer, etc. and has at least one mandrel and one or more members mounted on the outer circumferential surface of the mandrel.
- a predetermined member is expanded in diameter and fixed to the wellbore by coming into contact with the inner wall of the wellbore, and the seal member etc. which similarly constitute the downhole plug By sealing between the inner wall of the well and the downhole plug, the wellbore is closed.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a hole for the purpose of providing insulation to block heat from the inner wall of the wellbore.
- An open slip is disclosed.
- Patent Document 2 discloses a slip in which the inside is hollow for the purpose of facilitating breakage by a drill.
- the degradable downhole plug is at least partially formed of degradable material that degrades depending on the well environment. As a result, the entire degradable downhole plug is disassembled or disassembled after use, and as a result, removal of the downhole plug is facilitated (e.g., Patent Document 3).
- control of degradability has been an issue, and for example, in order to promote the degradation of materials whose degradation rate is insufficient, bottom subs embedded with a degradation accelerator have also been proposed (FIG. Patent Document 4).
- FIG. 1 and 2 are reference views for explaining a conventional downhole plug.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a portion of an axial cross section of a conventional downhole plug.
- FIG. 2 is a view when the downhole plug shown in FIG. 1 is installed in a casing, and (a) of FIG. 2 shows before hydraulic fracturing and (b) of FIG. 2 shows after hydraulic fracturing.
- 1 and 2 show the axial direction of the downhole plug as the left-right direction in the drawing, but in the actual use, the axial direction of the downhole plug is the same as that of the downhole plug. It may be arranged along the depth direction.
- the downhole plug 100 includes a mandrel 101, a seal member 102, a holding member 103 disposed adjacent to the seal member 102 on one side of the seal member 102, a seal member 102 and It comprises cones 104 and 105 disposed so as to sandwich the holding member 103, a pair of slips 106a and 106b, and a pair of ring members 107a and 107b.

- the seal member 102 in the present embodiment is formed of an elastic material or rubber material that deforms when a predetermined force is applied.
- the downhole plug 100 is installed in a wellbore (not shown) and in a casing 200 disposed inside the wellbore as shown in FIG. 2 (a).
- the mandrel 101 is moved in the axial direction indicated by the arrow P in the figure to reduce the distance between the pair of ring members 107a and 107b in the mandrel axial direction.
- the slips 106a and 106b move outward along the slopes of the cones 104 and 105 in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the mandrel 101 and abut on the inner wall of the wellbore, thereby the downhole plug 100 can be drilled.
- the seal member 102 can be installed at a predetermined position of Further, as the mandrel 101 is moved in the axial direction and the distance between the cone 104 and the holding member 103 is reduced, the seal member 102 is deformed and expanded outward in the outer peripheral direction of the axis of the mandrel 101. When the seal member 102 abuts on the casing 200, the space between the downhole plug 100 and the casing 200 is closed. Thereafter, a well or the like (not shown) is set in the axial hollow portion of the mandrel 101 to close the wellbore. Then, the fluid is fed at high pressure from the side of the cone 104 into the closed section to perform hydraulic fracturing which causes the production layer to crack.
- the downhole plug When the downhole plug is a degradable downhole plug formed of a degradable material which is decomposed by the fluid in the well, the downhole is exposed to the fluid in the well for a predetermined time to allow the downhole from contacting the fluid.

That is, as shown in FIG. 2B, the slips 106a and 106b of the degradable downhole plug and the seal member 102 abut on the casing 200 after hydraulic fracturing. Also, the cone 104 abuts on the seal member 102 and the slip 106 a. Furthermore, the cone 105 abuts on the holding member 103 and the slip 106 b.

Abstract
Description
本発明に係るダウンホールプラグは、分解性材料からなるマンドレルと、マンドレルの外周面上に設けられた分解性材料からなる複数の周辺部材とを含み、複数の周辺部材の少なくとも一つは、マンドレルの軸方向に沿う流体が通過可能な中空部、またはダウンホールプラグの外表面側の溝を、少なくとも一部に有する構成である。
本実施形態におけるスリップ6a,6bの一態様では、スリップ6a,6bはマンドレル1の軸方向に沿う流体が通過可能な中空部64を備えている。中空部64の大きさは本発明の効果が得られる限り制限はないが、例えば、中空部64の断面が円形の場合には、スリップ6a,6bの強度を担保するために小さな直径であることが好ましく、たとえば10mm以下が好ましく、7mm以下がより好ましく、6mm以下がさらに好ましく、5mm以下が特に好ましい。また、大きな中空部64はスリップ6a,6bの分解促進効果が高いため、たとえば円形の場合は直径1mm以上が好ましく、3mm以上がさらに好ましく、4mm以上が特に好ましい。なお、分解性材料としてマグネシウム、アルミニウムまたはカルシウムを主要成分とした合金を用いた場合には、直径3mm以上とすることが好ましい。直径を3mm以上とすることにより、分解により生じる分解副生物(例えば、水酸化マグネシウム)によって中空部64が詰まることを防ぐことができ、中空部64を有することによる効果を確実に得ることができる。
本実施形態にかかるスリップ6aの第1の態様について、図4を参照して説明する。図4に示すスリップ61は、軸方向に沿う一端部から他端部に向かい途中で終了する切れ目611で分割される複数のスリップ分割片612によって構成されている。各スリップ分割片612は、ケーシング20と当接する表面に複数の凸部613と、マンドレル1の軸方向に沿う流体が通過可能な1つの中空部614とを備えている。水圧破砕後、スリップ61のケーシング20と当接する表面、およびコーン4と当接する表面615における当接部分は分解を促進する流体との接触が阻害されているため、分解が進まない。一方、コーン4と当接する表面615からマンドレル1の軸方向に沿う他端部616は流体と接しているため、端部616の面にある開口とつながっている中空部614には流体が侵入し、中空部614の内壁に流体が接触する。また、切れ目611部分にも流体が侵入する。従って、スリップ61は、流体と接する切れ目611が形成する表面と、端部616と、中空部614の内壁から分解が進行するため、ダウンホールプラグ10の分解・除去が容易となる。なお、スリップ6bにおいても同様の構成を有し得る。このことは、以下の別の態様についても同様である。
本実施形態にかかるスリップ6aの別の態様について、図5を参照して説明する。なお、本態様では、第1の態様との相違点について説明するため、前記態様において説明した部材と同一の機能を有する部材には同一の部材番号を付し、その説明を省略する。
本実施形態にかかるスリップ6aの別の態様について、図6を参照して説明する。なお、本態様では、第1の態様との相違点について説明するため、前記態様において説明した部材と同一の機能を有する部材には同一の部材番号を付し、その説明を省略する。
本発実施形態におけるコーン4,5の一態様では、コーン4,5はマンドレル1の軸方向に沿って流れる流体が通過可能な中空部を備えている。中空部の大きさは本発明の効果が得られる限り制限はないが、例えば、中空部の断面が円形の場合には、コーン4,5の強度を担保するために小さな直径であることが好ましく、たとえば10mm以下が好ましく、7mm以下がより好ましく、6mm以下がさらに好ましく、5mm以下が特に好ましい。また、大きな中空部はコーン4,5の分解促進効果が高いため、たとえば円形の場合は直径1mm以上が好ましく、3mm以上がさらに好ましく、4mm以上が特に好ましい。コーン1つあたりの中空部の数については所望の効果が得られる限り制限はないが、分解促進効果が高いため、例えば4以上が好ましく、8以上がさらに好ましく、12以上が特に好ましい。さらに中空部の位置については所望の効果が得られる限り制限はないが、コーン4,5の外表面と、コーン4,5の内表面であってマンドレル1外周面またはマンドレル1とそのコーンとの間に配置された他の周辺部材と接触する内表面との間に位置する。中空部は、ダウンホールプラグ10のマンドレル1の軸方向と垂直な断面において、マンドレル1の中心軸を通る直線であって、コーン4,5の内周上の点Aおよび外周上の点Bを通る直線上で、中空部以外の部分の長さを示す「コーン連続厚み」の最大値が、点Aから点Bの最大長さであらわされる「コーン最大厚み」の91%~47%の範囲となるように配置されることが好ましく、80%~47%の範囲がさらに好ましく、70%~47%の範囲が特に好ましい。なお、「コーン最大厚み」は、断面における、コーン4,5の放射方向の厚みとも表現することができる。また、「コーン連続厚み」は、中空部部分を除いたコーン4,5の厚み方向において連続する部分の最大長さとも表現することができる。
本実施形態にかかるコーン5の第1の態様について、図7を参照して説明する。図7に示すコーン51は、マンドレル1の軸方向に沿う流体が通過可能な複数の中空部511を備えている。水圧破砕後、コーン51の表面512のうち部分的にスリップ6bと当接する部分と、ソケット3と当接する表面513、およびマンドレル1と当接する表面514には流体が接触しない。中空部511は、ソケット3と当接する表面513からマンドレル1の軸方向に沿った他端部にある開口とつながっている。そのため、当該開口部から流体が侵入し、中空部511の内壁と流体が接触するため、ダウンホールプラグ10の分解・除去が容易となる。
本実施形態にかかるコーン5の別の態様について、図8を参照して説明する。なお、本態様では、第1の態様との相違点について説明するため、前記態様において説明した部材と同一の機能を有する部材には同一の部材番号を付し、その説明を省略する。
本実施形態にかかるコーン5の別の態様について、図9を参照して説明する。図9に示すコーン53は、スリップ6bと部分的に当接する表面532に位置する、マンドレル1の軸方向に沿った溝535を備えている。水圧破砕後、スリップ6bとコーン53との間には溝535によりマンドレル1の軸方向に沿った間隙ができ、その間隙に流体が侵入する。コーン53は流体と接触する溝535により作られた間隙から分解が進むため、ダウンホールプラグ10の分解・除去が容易となる。
本実施形態にかかるコーン5の別の態様について、図10を参照して説明する。なお、本態様では、第1の態様との相違点について説明するため、前記態様において説明した部材と同一の機能を有する部材には同一の部材番号を付し、その説明を省略する。
本実施形態にかかるコーンの別の態様について、図11を参照して説明する。なお、本態様では、第1の態様との相違点について説明するため、前記態様において説明した部材と同一の機能を有する部材には同一の部材番号を付し、その説明を省略する。
本実施形態のダウンホールプラグ10は、マンドレル1および周辺部材を用い、従来公知の方法で組み立てて製造される。マンドレル1の製造方法としては、材質に応じて従来公知の方法で製造することができる。また、上記周辺部材の製造方法としては、上記周辺部材の材質に合わせて従来周知の方法を選択することができ、通常は基材を成形してから、切削および穴あけ加工等により穴または溝を作ることで製造する。
上述の通り、本実施形態のダウンホールプラグは、分解性材料からなるマンドレルと、該マンドレルの外周面上に設けられた分解性材料からなる複数の周辺部材とを含み、上記複数の周辺部材の少なくとも一つは、上記マンドレルの軸方向に沿って流れる流体が通過可能な中空部、または上記ダウンホールプラグの外表面となる面もしくは上記マンドレルと接する面の少なくとも一部に溝を有する、構成である。
