Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for controlling and isolating an expandable jack-shaped tool for the treatment of a well or a pipe, this tool being connected to a casing for supplying a fluid under pressure. and is interposed between said casing and the wall of said well or pipe.
- a downhole device for isolating the upstream space of the downstream space of an annular region between a casing (translated as "casing" in English) and the formation (c '). that is to say the rock of the basement) or between this same casing and the inside diameter of another casing already present in the well.
- This insulation must be carried out while preserving the integrity of the entire casing string, that is to say the steel column between the formation and the wellhead.
- the aforementioned annular space is generally sealed by using a cement which is pumped in liquid form into the casing from the surface and then injected into the annular space. After injection, the cement hardens and the annular space is sealed.
- this waterproofing protects the casing from saltwater areas that contain the basement, which can corrode and damage them, leading to the possible loss of the well.
- this cementation protects aquifers from pollution that could be caused by nearby formations containing hydrocarbons.
- This cementation is a barrier that protects against the risk of blowout caused by high-pressure gases that can migrate into the annular space between the formation and the casing.
- the casing (or “casing string”), whose length can reach several thousand meters, consists of casing tubes, with a unit length of between 10 and 12 m, and assembled to each other by tight threads.
- insulating devices are composed of an expandable metal jacket deformed by application of pressurized liquid (see article SPE 22,858 "DS Dreesen et al., Analytical and Experimental Evaluation of Expanded Metal Packers For Well Completion Services". - 1991), US 6,640,893 , US 7,306,033 , US 7591 321 , EP 2 206 879 , EP 2 435 656 ).
- the document US 2005/023003 discloses an isolation device for the treatment of a well, comprising an expandable sleeve placed on a casing and an assembly adapted to control the supply of the internal volume of the jacket using a pressurized fluid from the casing , through a passage passing through the wall of the casing, to expand the liner radially outwards, the device also comprising a non-return valve placed in a passage which connects the internal volume of the casing to the internal volume of the liner, the device comprising also a valve which establishes a connection between the internal volume of the liner and an annular volume of the well outside the liner and the casing, said valve and said non-return valve forming two valves connected in series.
- the general structure of a known system of this type has been schematized Figures 1 and 2 attached.
- a known technique consists in positioning a deformable ductile membrane 10 of cylindrical geometry, around a casing 20, at the desired location.
- the membrane 10 is attached and sealed at its ends to the surface of the casing 20.
- a ring-shaped liner is defined between the outer surface of the casing 20 and the inner surface of the membrane 20.
- the inside of the casing 20 and the internal volume of the jacket formed by the membrane 20 communicate with each other by a passage 22 which passes through the wall of the casing 20.
- the membrane 10 is then expanded radially outwards until it is in contact with the wall P of the well, as seen in FIG. figure 2 , by increasing the pressure P1 in the casing 20.
- the membrane 10 seals on this wall P and the two annular spaces EA1 and EA2 defined between the wall P of the formation and the wall of the casing 20 are then isolated.
- the membrane 10 may be metal or elastomer, reinforced or not with fibers.
- the membrane 10 is made of elastomer and the circulation of the inflation fluid is without valve in the passage 22, the membrane resumes a shape close to its initial state, if the pressure is released inside the casing, after the have swollen. The membrane 10 then no longer serves as isolation of the annular space.
- the membrane 10 is metallic and the circulation of the inflation fluid between the inside of the membrane 10 and the inside of the casing 20 takes place directly, once permanently deformed, the membrane 10 retains in principle its shape and its shape. Barrier function in the annular space is also maintained when the pressure in the casing 20 is relaxed. However, if the pressure increases in the annular space, for example, on the EA1 side, the pressure differential between EA1 and the inside of the membrane 10 may be sufficient to collapse the metal membrane 10. It then no longer holds role of isolation of the annular space.
- the orifice 22 allowing the circulation of the inflation fluid between the inside of the casing 20 and the inside of the membrane 10 may be provided with a valve check.
- This valve traps the volume of inflation under pressure inside the membrane 10 at the end of inflation. Nevertheless, if the temperature and / or the pressure in the annular space change, the volume inside the membrane can also change. If the pressure decreases, the membrane 10 can collapse or lose its tight contact with the wall P of the well. The insulation function of the annular space is then no longer ensured. If on the contrary the pressure increases, the membrane 10 can deform to breaking. If the membrane 10 does not break, there is a risk that the pressure increases sufficiently inside the membrane 10 to collapse the wall of the casing 20.
- a second orifice provided between the membrane 10 and the high pressure zone EA1 which integrates a rupture disk.
- the latter makes it possible to create an opening between the inside of the membrane 10 and the zone EA1 at high pressure at the end of the inflation. In this way, evolutions of the well temperature or of the pressure on the EA1 side have no more effect on the pressure inside the membrane 10 since the membrane 10 is in communication with the annular space.
- the anti-return valve provided in the passage 22 passes the casing fluid 20 to the membrane 10 and the membrane 10 directly into the annular space.
- the document WO 2010/136806 also provides in replacement of the aforementioned rupture disc, a second orifice between the membrane 10 and the casing 20 with a valve-type valve that allows to evacuate the overpressure of the metal membrane 10.
- This solution is suitable when the volume and pressure increase to However, if the volume trapped in the membrane 10 decreases, the risk of collapsing the membrane 10 or losing contact between the membrane 10 and the wall P of the well persists.
- the object of the invention is to provide a device that solves the aforementioned problems.

- the body 310 preferably has a radial orifice 352 opening at the chamber which houses the degradable pin 590 and receives the flared head 553 to allow the evacuation of the material constituting the pin 590 and a free movement of the head 553.
- the piston 550 After degradation of the pin 590, the piston 550 is moved in translation in the channel 340 under the effect of the spring 560. The portion 554 of the piston 550 then escapes the seal 370 and a communication is allowed between the conduit 318 linked to the internal volume 102 of the jacket 100 and the orifice 350 which opens into the annular volume EA1 of the well. In the position thus illustrated on the figure 16 , the valve 500 has reached its final irreversible switched position, the shutter 514 remaining in abutment against its seat 512 to isolate the conduit 316 of the conduit 318.
- FIG. 17 and 18 a second embodiment of a valve 500 according to the present invention intended to form in the switched state, in combination with the inlet valve 400, two opposing back-to-back valves, which is essentially different from the first embodiment illustrated on the Figures 12 to 16 in that the degradable pin 590 mentioned above is replaced by a breaking pin 592.
- This breaking pin 592 is carried by the body 310. It is oriented radially relative to the direction of translation of the piston 550 in the longitudinal channel 340 and initially interferes with the piston 550 or a stop 593 on which the piston 550 rests as one see him on the figure 17 to prohibit a displacement of the piston 550 and therefore a bringing the shutter 514 against the seat 512.
- the conduits 316 and 318 are then in communication.
- the pin 592 releases the piston 550 so that in an intermediate state the shutter 514 abuts against the seat 512, the conduits 316 and 318 and the orifice 350 are then isolated, then in the final switched state illustrated on the figure 18 , the piston 550 completes its stroke under the effect of the spring 560 so that a connection is established between the conduit 318 and the orifice 350.
- FIG. 19 a third embodiment of a valve according to the present invention intended to form, in the switched state, in combination with the inlet valve 400, two opposing back-to-back valves, which is essentially different from the first exemplary embodiment illustrated on the Figures 12 to 16 and the second embodiment illustrated on the Figures 17 and 18 in that the piston 550 is initially maintained by the combination of a degradable pin 590 and a breaker pin 592.
- the degradable peion 590 is interposed between the tail 552 of the piston 550 and a stop 593 associated with the breaking pin 592.
- the rupture pin 592 initially prohibits a displacement of the piston 550 and consequently a bringing of the shutter 514 against the seat 512.
- the conduits 316 and 318 are then in communication as shown in FIG. figure 19 .
- the pin 592 releases the piston 550 so that in an intermediate state the shutter 514 abuts against the seat 512, the conduits 316 and 318 and the orifice 350 are then isolated, then in the final switched state illustrated on the figure 20 , the 550 piston completes its course under the effect of the spring 560 so that a connection is established between the conduit 318 and the orifice 350, the portion 554 of the piston 550 escaping the seal 370.
- the degradable peion 590 eventually degrades after a certain time, after inflation of the liner 100, as shown in FIG. figure 21 , to also allow switching in the final state of the valve 500 in which the conduit 318 and the port 350 communicate with each other, but the inlet conduit 316 remains closed by the valve 510.
- the assembly 300 comprises in the body 310, four longitudinal channels 332, 330, 340 and 442 parallel to each other and parallel to the axis OO of the casing 200, respectively visible on the Figures 22, 23 , 24 and 26 .
- Channels 332, 330, 340 and 442 are located in different radial planes.
- the longitudinal channel 332 visible on the figure 22 is an inlet channel which communicates with the internal volume 202 of the casing 200, on a first axial end, by a radial channel 312 closed at its radially outer end by a plug 314 and equipped with a parachute valve 360.
- the channel 332 communicates via a transverse channel 317 with the longitudinal channel 330.
- the longitudinal channel 330 visible on the figure 23 receives the non-return valve 400.
- This longitudinal channel 330 communicates with the third longitudinal channel 340 visible on the Figures 24 and 25 by a passage transversal 316.
- the longitudinal channel 340 houses the three-way valve 500.
- the transverse input channel 316 opens onto a blind axial end of the longitudinal channel 340.
- the longitudinal channel 340 has a second transverse passage 318 which communicates with the fourth longitudinal channel 342 visible on the figure 26 , which opens into the internal volume 102 of the jacket 100, and an orifice 350 which opens radially outwardly in the annular volume EA1 of the well.
- the passage 316, the passage 318 and the orifice 350 form the three channels 502, 504 and 506 of the valve 500.
- the longitudinal channel 330 has a divergent conical zone 410 approaching the inlet channel 332 and which forms the aforementioned seat of the valve 400.
- This conical zone 410 is located downstream of the channel 317 and upstream of the channel 316.
- the channel 330 houses, facing this seat 410, a shutter 420 formed on the piston 450 and having a complementary conical end biased against the seat 410 by a spring 430.
- valve 400 is kept open initially by a degradable or breakable pin 490 and closes when the pin 490 is broken or degraded.
- the pin 490 is a degradable pin placed opposite the downstream end of the piston 450, beyond the conduit 316, in the bottom of the longitudinal channel 330.
- the longitudinal channel 340 has a conical zone 512 located axially between the two ducts 316 and 318.
- the zone 512 is divergent away from the first conduit 316 and form the aforementioned seat of the valve 510.
- the channel 340 houses a piston 550 capable of translation.
- the piston 550 has, facing the seat 512, a conical zone 514 complementary to the seat 512, forming a shutter.
- the piston 550, more particularly the shutter 514, is biased against the seat 512 by a spring 516.
- the conical shutter 514 is kept away from the seat 512 by a degradable pin, a breaking pin or the combination of a degradable pin and a breaking pin.
- the channel 340 also houses two O-rings 370 and 372 or any other equivalent means (O-ring associated with a ring for example) in contact with a portion 554 of the piston 550 adjacent to the conical shutter 514.
- the gasket 370 is placed axially between the duct 318 and the orifice 350, which ducts 318 and orifice 350 are both located downstream of the seat 512. As can be seen in FIGS. Figures 24 and 25 , the seal 370 seals with the outer surface of the piston 550 in the initial position of the three-way valve 500 and up to the displacement of the shutter 514 against the seat 512.
- the seal 370 thus makes it possible to isolate the orifice downstream 350, in initial position illustrated on the Figures 24 and 25 in which communication is allowed between the internal volume 202 of the casing 200 and the internal volume 102 of the liner 100 via the ducts 316 and 318 and in transient intermediate position illustrated on the figure 27 in which the communication between the internal volume 202 of the casing 200 and the internal volume 102 of the liner 100 is interrupted by the piston 550.
- the seal 372 is placed axially between the duct 316 and the duct 318, downstream of the seat 512, the ducts 316 and 318 being located respectively on either side of the seat 512.
- the seal 372 makes it possible to seal on the piston 550 and thus to isolate the two conduits 316 and 318 in the event of leakage of the valve 510, in particular in the transient phase of displacement of the piston towards its final switched position as shown in FIG. figure 27 .
- the figure 29 represents the inlet valve 400 in the closed switched position, the shutter 420 resting against the seat 410 after degradation of the pin 490.
- the piston 550 of the valve 500 is associated with a non-return mechanism 580 which prevents a rearward displacement of the piston such that the piston 550 would escape the seal 372, once the switching initiated.
- a mechanism 580 can be the subject of many embodiments. According to the particular and nonlimiting embodiment illustrated on the Figures 24, 25 , 28 and 30 this mechanism 580 is formed of a piece 582 interposed between the piston 550 and the spring 516, which has two bearing faces 584 and 586 respectively directed towards the piston 550 and the spring 516, not parallel to each other.
- the cross section of the piece 582 is smaller than the cross section of the local zone of the channel 340 to allow the engagement and the sliding of this part 582.
- the part 582 is however obliquely displaced in the channel 340 and is then along a diagonal of greater length opposite a recess 348 formed in the channel 340.
- the cooperation of the part 582 and the recess 348 illustrated on the figure 30 prohibits the return of piston 550 to its original position.
- Such a mechanism 580 is however optional and not mandatory.
- the valve 500 is constituted such that the reverse movement of the piston 550 is impossible even if a differential pressure, positive or negative, exists between the annular space EA1 and the inside of the casing 200.
- the invention solves the problems posed according to the state of the art.
- annular pressure varies over time and can alternatively be: pressure of EA1> pressure of EA2 or pressure of EA2> pressure of EA1, it is conceivable to mount two zone isolation devices according to the invention head to tail as illustrated on the figure 31 .
- Valves 400 and 510 have previously been described whose seat 410, 512 and the shutter 420, 514 are advantageously made of metal thus defining valves 400, 510 metal / metal.
- valve 400 and / or 510 is and remains sealed even if the shutter 420 or 514 would not rest perfectly against its associated seat 410 or 512, for example in the case where the fluid carried is not properly filtered.
- Such an additional seal may be provided on the shutter and be adapted to bear against a complementary bearing formed on the body housing the valve and forming the seat, when the valve is in its closed position or close to its closed position.
- the seal may alternatively be provided on the body housing the valve and forming the seat, and then be adapted to bear against a complementary bearing formed on the shutter, when the valve is in its closed position or close to its position closure.
- FIG. 32 to 34 illustrate an alternative of the embodiment shown on the Figures 13 to 16 , an embodiment in which an additional seal 570 is mounted in a groove formed on the shutter 514.
- This seal 570 is adapted to bear against a complementary bearing 511 formed at a recess on the body 310 housing the valve 510, in the extension and upstream of the seat 512.
- the diameter of the section of the chamber 320 which receives the shutter 514 and which houses the seal 370 in the initial position as illustrated on the figure 32 is preferably greater than the diameter of the seal 370.
- the diameter of the recess which forms the bearing surface 511 is however at least slightly less than the outer diameter at rest of the seal 570 to ensure the aforementioned seal.
- the travel of the shutter 514 is such that in the initial position as illustrated on FIG. figure 32 , the seal 570 is placed beyond the inlet duct 316 so as not to disturb the flow of fluid ensuring the inflation of the liner 100.
- the duct 316 is located, in the initial position, between the gasket 570 and the scope 511.
- the figure 33 shows the valve 510 in the closed position similar to the figure 16 , the shutter 514 resting against the seat 512.
- the figure 34 shows the seal provided by the seal 570 resting against the bearing 511 in the case where the shutter 514 is slightly detached from the complementary conical seat 512.
- valve 510 As indicated above the provision of an additional seal ensuring the tightness of the valve in the event of separation of the shutter, can be applied to all embodiments of the valve 510 as well as to all the embodiments. of the valve 400, and this is in seal-mounted version mounted on the shutter cooperating with a complementary seat-side seat-mounted seat-mounted seal and cooperating with a complementary bearing surface formed on the shutter.
- valve 510 in which the seal 570 is placed in a groove 311 formed in the body 310 incorporating the seat 512 to cooperate with a complementary surface 515 formed on the shutter 514.
- valve 400 in the closed position, an alternative embodiment of a valve 400 according to which a seal 470 is placed in a groove 422 formed in the body of the shutter 420 to cooperate with a complementary surface 412 formed on the body 310 incorporating the seat 410.
- FIG. 37 in the closed position, another alternative embodiment of a valve 400 according to which a seal 470 is placed in a groove 313 formed in the body 310 incorporating the seat 410 to cooperate with a complementary surface 424 formed on the shutter 420.
