BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0005] The following descriptions should not be considered limiting in any way.
With reference to the accompanying drawings, like elements are numbered alike:
[0006] Figure 1 is a cross sectional view of a system as disclosed herein;
[0007] Figure 2 is a partial transparent side view of an axial and rotational orientation assembly;
[0008] Figure 3 is a cross sectional view of figure 1 taken along section line 3-3 with the axial and rotational orientation assembly in a first position; and
[0009] Figure 4 is the view of Figure 3 with the axial and rotational orientation assembly in a second position.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0010] A detailed description of one or more embodiments of the disclosed apparatus and method are presented herein by way of exemplification and not limitation with reference to the Figures.
[001 1 ] Referring to Figure 1, an axial and rotational alignment system 10 is illustrated in cross section. It will be appreciated that the system includes a casing 12 having a communication configuration 14 at a position radially outward of an inside surface 16 of the casing 12 and a recess 13 in the casing 12. This casing is to be run into a borehole (not shown) and may represent an outermost casing or may represent any one of several more inwardly disposed casings. The number of casings is not germane to the invention. Rather, it is the position of the communication configuration 14 in a position relative to the casing 12 that is not accessible from the inside surface 16 of the casing 12 that is relevant. Stated alternatively, communications to and from the communication configuration 14 must pass through the casing 12. It has been discovered that for this reason, it is important to align a communication device 18 with the communication configuration 14 both rotationally and axially. It is this system disclosed herein accomplishes with aplomb.
[0012] Referring to Figures 1 and 2 simultaneously, in general, the casing 12 is run in the borehole first and affixed or anchored appropriately. Then a tubing string 20 having an axial and rotational orientation assembly 22 (see Figure 2) thereon is run in the hole. The assembly 22 includes an axial alignment subassembly 24 comprising a dog housing 26, a dog 28 (three visible) and a biasing member 30 (three being at least partially visible). The dog 26 includes a profile 32 that will match a complementary engagement feature 34 in the casing 12. Upon the axial and rotational orientation assembly 22 reaching the casing engagement feature 34, the dog 26 will automatically engage therewith based upon the biasing member 30 urging the dog 26 radially outwardly into engagement therewith. This will locate the axial and rotational orientation assembly 22 axially and secure it in that location.
[0013] The axial and rotational orientation assembly 22 also comprises a rotational alignment subassembly 40. The rotational alignment subassembly comprises a body 42 rotatably mounted to the tubing string 20. The body 42 supports a selectively actuable member 44 that in some embodiments may be a pawl. The member 44 is configured to move from a run in position (shown in Figure 3) where it is more radially inwardly disposed and
temporarily held there by a release retainer 58 to a deployed position (shown in Figure 4) where it is radially outwardly biased in order to ensure that the member 44 may engage and locate in the casing recess 13 and thereby stop rotational motion of the rotational alignment subassembly 40. The body 42 further supports the communications device 18, which may be by itself or may be disposed in a comm housing 46. The communications device 18 and or the comm housing 46 are radially outwardly displaceable relative to the body 42 during use in order to bring the communications device 18 into close proximity (and in iterations into contact) with the casing inside surface 16. This is accomplished by a cone 48 manipulable from a position that is not radially adjacent the communication device 18 to a position where the cone is directly radially inward of the communications device 18, which will result in the communications device 18 and/or the comm housing 46 being driven radially outwardly into the casing inside surface 16.
[0014] It will also be appreciated that the body 42 supports a cam pin 50 that is engaged with a helical groove 52 in the cone 48. The cone 48 moves with the tubing string 20. Axial motion of the tubing string 20 subsequent to the dog 26 engaging the casing engagement feature 34, will load the pin 50 in the helical groove 52 resulting in rotation of the body 42. This will continue until the selectively actuable member 44 is both deployed (by release of a release retainer 58, e.g. shear member, occasioned by the initial movement of the cone 48 relative to the selectively actuable member 44 and the release retainer 58, which causes shearing of the retainer 58) and engaged with the casing recess 13. Once the selectively actuable member 44 is engaged with the recess 13, the body 42 cannot rotate and load will build within the pin 50 until the pin 50 fails. At this point the cone 48 can continue to move axially to a position directly radially inward of the communication device 18 and/or the comm housing 46 thereby radially displacing those components into proximity and in some embodiments into contact with the casing inside surface 16.
[0015] Due to both the axial alignment subassembly 24 and the rotational alignment subassembly 40 having fixed their positions (axially and rotationally respectively), the communications device 18 and the communication configuration 14 are aligned both axially and rotationally thereby enhancing their communicative capability. It is to be appreciated that the communications device and the communication configuration may each be one of a receiver and a transmitter or they may both be transceivers. Further in an embodiment, both of the communications device and the communication configuration are transducers.
[0016] In an embodiment, it is also contemplated that a bearing or bushing 54 may be disposed between the axial alignment subassembly 24 and the rotational alignment
subassembly 40 to reduce friction therebetween thus easing the rotational movement of the rotational alignment subassembly 40 relative to the axial alignment subassembly 24 during use.
