Description

FEEDING DEVICE FOR A DOWNHOLE TOOL AND METHOD FOR AXIAL FEEDING OF A DOWNHOLE TOOL
A feeding device for a rotatable downhole tool is described. A method of feeding a downhole tool axially by the use of the feeding device, when working a portion of a surrounding pipe body, is described as well.
When using downhole tools that require a great degree of accuracy as regards axial feeding, for example using cutting tools when working a casing, it often presents large problems to do this work accurately enough. Axial feeding takes place, to a great extent, by a pipe string being moved forwards or being withdrawn while the tool is working, and this may easily result in the tool being overloaded so that the entire pipe string will have to be pulled up for maintenance or replacement of the tool. This involves large costs by the very fact that a pipe string of this kind may have a considerable length, especially in subsea oil and gas production and when wells with horizontal portions are used.
The invention has for its object to remedy or reduce at least one of the drawbacks of the prior art or at least provide a useful alternative to the prior art.
The object is achieved through features which are specified in the description below and in the claims that follow.
A feeding device for a downhole tool has been provided, the feeding device and the downhole tool being arranged on a pipe string arranged to be inserted in a borehole in the underground. The feeding device is provided with several feeding wheels which are each radially displaceable between a retracted, inactive position and an extended, active position in which the feeding wheels bear against an internal wall surface of a body surrounding the feeding device, for example a casing. The centre axes of the feeding wheels are slanted relative to the centre axis of said surrounding body. When the feeding device is rotated around its own centre axis, the slant of the feeding wheels will make the feeding wheels follow a helical line so that the feeding device is moved in the axial direction without a push force having been applied to the pipe string. The connected downhole tool follows the axial movement of the feeding device. By the choice of a suitable slant for the feeding wheels, the downhole tool may thereby achieve a desired feed rate.
The slant of the feeding wheels may be adjustable. The adjustment may be remote- controlled. Thereby, for example, varying frictional properties of the internal wall surface of the surrounding body may be compensated for.
The axial displacement of the feeding wheels preferably takes place along an inclined plane which has its largest extent in the axial extent of the feeding device. This is advantageous because, normally, there are larger restrictions in a radial direction than in an axial direction for a downhole tool.
In a first aspect, the invention relates more specifically to a feeding device for a rotatable downhole tool, characterized by the feeding device being provided with several feeding wheels lying in a plane which is slanted relative to a plane which is perpendicular to the centre axis of the downhole tool, and the feeding wheels are displaceable between a retracted, inactive position and an active position in which they bear against an internal wall surface of a pipe body surrounding the feeding device.
A feeding-wheel suspension may be connected to a radial guide and a first actuator which, on activation, is arranged to displace the feeding wheels with a radial direction component. The radial guide may be an inclined plane. Alternatively, the radial guide may be a radial cut-out in a feeding-device housing.
The feeding device and the downhole tool may be interconnected via a transmission unit which is arranged to provide a rotational speed for the downhole tool different from the rotational speed of the feeding device.
The feeding device and the downhole tool may be arranged on a rotatable pipe string, on a non-rotatable pipe string or on a wireline.
In a second aspect, the invention relates more specifically to a method of feeding a downhole tool axially when working a portion of a surrounding pipe body,
characterized by the method including the following steps:
a) the downhole tool and an associated feeding device are placed in the desired position in the pipe body; b) several feeding wheels, which are arranged in the feeding device and lie in a plane which is slanted relative to a plane which is perpendicular to the centre axis of the downhole tool, are displaced to bear against an internal wall surface of the pipe body;
c) the downhole tool and the associated feeding device are set into a rotational motion by means of an associated driving motor;
d) the downhole tool is moved in its axial direction by the feeding wheels moving along an imaginary helical line on the internal wall surface.
The driving motor may be arranged in a remote end portion of a rotatable pipe string. Alternatively, the driving motor may be arranged in connection with a downhole end portion of a non-rotatable pipe string or a wireline.
In what follows, an example of a preferred embodiment is described, which is visualized in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 shows a principle drawing of a downhole cutting tool and a feeding
device according to the invention in a cut-away side view, arranged on a rotatable pipe string placed in a cased borehole;
Figure 2 shows a principle drawing corresponding to figure 1, but in which a transmission unit has been inserted between the downhole tool and the feeding device to provide a rotational speed for the downhole tool different from the rotational speed of the feeding device;
Figures 3a and 3b show, on a larger scale, a sectional view of an axial section of the feeding device in an inactive position I (figure 3a) and an active position II (figure 3b);
Figure 4a shows, on a smaller scale, a principle drawing of the device according to the invention corresponding to that of figure 1 but arranged on a non- rotatable pipe string; and
Figure 4b shows, analogously to figure 4a, the device according to the invention, arranged suspended on a wireline.
In the figures, the reference numeral 1 indicates an underground formation in which a borehole 11 has been provided, which has been cased with a casing 12 in a manner known per se. On a pipe string 2, a feeding device 3 according to the invention is arranged in a rotationally rigid manner, and also a downhole tool 5 which is arranged, when being rotated, to work a portion of the casing 12 which, in this connection, is an example of a pipe body which, in an operative situation, surrounds at least the feeding device 3 and, with an internal wall surface 121, forms an abutment surface for feeding wheels 32 arranged in the feeding device 3. The downhole tool 5 is shown here as a cutting tool, but may be of any kind requiring axial displacement in its active state.
The space between the casing 12 and the underground formation 1 is shown as filled with cement 13 here, but this is not important for the application of the feeding device 3.
In addition, figures 1 and 2 show a d riving motor 6 connected to the pipe string 2 and arranged to rotate the pipe string 2.
In figure 2, an embodiment is shown in which a transmission unit 4 has been inserted between the feeding device 3 and the downhole tool 5, for example a planetary gear unit, with the aim of providing a rotational speed for the downhole tool 5 different from the rotational speed of the feeding device 3.
Reference is now made to the figures 3a and 3b. The feeding device 3 is provided with a feeding-device housing 31 including feeding-wheel guides 34, shown here as a conical body forming an inclined plane for several wheel suspensions 33, each forming a support and attachment for several feeding wheels 32. An actuator 35 is connected to the feeding-device housing 31 and the feeding-wheel suspensions 33 in such a way that the feeding wheels 32 can be displaced between an inactive position I, in which the feeding wheels 32 have been pulled radially away from the internal wall surface 121 of the surrounding pipe body 12, in this case the casing, and an active position II, in which the feeding wheels 32 have been pushed radially outwards into abutment against the internal wall surface 121.
The radial middle plane of the feeding wheels 32 is slanted relative to a plane which is perpendicular to the rotational axis of the feeding device 3, indicated by the angular indication a in figure 1. The slant results in the feeding wheels 32 moving along a helical line on the internal wall surface 121, and the slant is chosen to provide a desired, specific axial displacement, that is to say a certain axial, forward feeding per rotation of the feeding device 3. The slant of the feeding wheels 32 may be changed by replacing the feeding-wheel suspensions 33, possibly by the feeding wheels 32 being rotatably attached around a substantially radial axis (not shown) in the feeding wheel suspensions.
In the figures 1 and 2 and in the preceding description, the feeding device 3 and the downhole tool 5 are shown and described in connection with a pipe string 2. The invention is not limited to such a combination, as, for example, it is conceivable for the feeding device 3, the downhole tool 5 and the driving motor 6 to be arranged as a unit which can be inserted and withdrawn in/from the casing 12 by means of a wireline 2" known per se, such a unit including means 7 for remote-operated attachment of the unit in the casing 12 for absorbing the reaction forces arising as the feeding device 3 and the downhole tool 5 are set into rotational motion by means of the driving motor 6.
A unit of a corresponding design may conceivably also be connected to a non-rotatable pipe 2', for example a coiled tubing (see figure 4a). When used together with a non- rotatable pipe 2' which is anchored to a surface installation (not shown), the feeding device 3 and the downhole tool 5, possibly together with connected elements like the transmission unit 4, be rotatably arranged on an end portion of the pipe 2, possibly without the use of the means 7 for remote-operated attachment of the unit in the casing 12, by the very fact of the reaction forces that arise when the feeding device 3 and the downhole tool 5 are set into rotating motion being absorbed by the non- rotatable pipe 2'.
It is an advantage if the feeding device 3 and the downhole tool 5, possibly together with associated elements like the transmission unit 4, are not axially fixed relative to the pipe string 2, 2', possibly the unit operated by a wireline 2", so that the axial forward feeding is not obstructed by the pipe string 2, 2', the wireline 2" or the attachment means 7.
It is obvious that the feeding device 3 may be placed in front of the downhole tool 5 or behind the downhole tool 5 (as it is shown in figures 1 and 2) without this affecting the inventive concept.
