Definitions
- the present invention relates to an apparatus used in helping penetrate earthen formations, especially subsea soils as encountered in offshore wells, when used in combination with conductor pipe section as such are known in the drilling of wells for hydrocarbons and other fluids.
- a well bore into an earthen formation provides a cylindrical, continuous casing for drilling of the well.
- conductor pipe is driven from a point below a drilling rig floor to form a continuous string to a point in the earthen formation anywhere to a desired depth.
- This string of conductor pipe is normally driven by a pile driving apparatus such as a pile driving hammer.
- the conductor pipe string should be driven in as straight a line as possible since typically the centre line of the conductor pipe should be the centre line of the well bore for guiding and directing subsequent casing and drilling operations.
- a procedure used for driving conductor pipe depends upon numerous factors such as hardness of the earthen formations and the friction on the inner and outer circumference of the pipe which cause increasing resistance to penetration as a conductor pipe is driven into the soil.

- U.S. Patent No. 4,657,441 teaches that soil is compressed and that such compression of the soil is unacceptable when using a drive shoe.
- the soil is compressed because, as the pipe is driven, both the soil at the inner diameter (ID) of the drive shoe and the soil at the outer (OD) of the shoe are compressed.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,657,441 teaches breaking up of the soil by having a series of ribs and a series of spiral inner bar sections on the OD to torsionally disassociate the soil, intermittently de-cohering the soil causing it to break up and become loose.
- the important feature of this invention is to make the earth or soil less compact for the drilling process.
- a new and improved drive shoe for penetrating the soil is disclosed.
- the drive shoe typically fastened below a conductor pipe section, has been found to increase the driveability of a string of conductor pipe by causing soil to be compressed and moved away from the ID and OD of the drive shoe.

- Conductor pipe string 15 forms an outer casing and must be driven deeply enough in earthen formation 12 for eliminating erosion, blow outs, or other pressures that may later be encountered within the well bore. Such conductor pipe 15 is typically driven to a satisfactory point which may be one hundred feet or more through earthen formation 12. It should be evident to those skilled in the well drilling art that significant forces are exerted by the resistence of earth formation 12.

Description
- The present invention relates to an apparatus used in helping penetrate earthen formations, especially subsea soils as encountered in offshore wells, when used in combination with conductor pipe section as such are known in the drilling of wells for hydrocarbons and other fluids.
- It is known, in the drilling of wells for hydrocarbons and other fluids, to drive conductor pipe or tubulars, comprising a string of segments of large diameter tubulars such as conductor pipe, into an earthen formation, especially offshore into the seabed.
- As is known in the art, a well bore into an earthen formation provides a cylindrical, continuous casing for drilling of the well. In current practice, conductor pipe is driven from a point below a drilling rig floor to form a continuous string to a point in the earthen formation anywhere to a desired depth. This string of conductor pipe is normally driven by a pile driving apparatus such as a pile driving hammer. The conductor pipe string should be driven in as straight a line as possible since typically the centre line of the conductor pipe should be the centre line of the well bore for guiding and directing subsequent casing and drilling operations.
- A procedure used for driving conductor pipe depends upon numerous factors such as hardness of the earthen formations and the friction on the inner and outer circumference of the pipe which cause increasing resistance to penetration as a conductor pipe is driven into the soil.
- U.S. Patent No. 1,552,755, U.S. Patent No 4,715,455 and U.S. Patent No 3,467,204 all relate to coring tools for producing cores. They do not relate to pile driving and in fact would not function if used in this respect.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,657,441 teaches that soil is compressed and that such compression of the soil is unacceptable when using a drive shoe. The soil is compressed because, as the pipe is driven, both the soil at the inner diameter (ID) of the drive shoe and the soil at the outer (OD) of the shoe are compressed. U.S. Patent No. 4,657,441 teaches breaking up of the soil by having a series of ribs and a series of spiral inner bar sections on the OD to torsionally disassociate the soil, intermittently de-cohering the soil causing it to break up and become loose. The important feature of this invention is to make the earth or soil less compact for the drilling process.
- There is no teaching of a system or method which specifically compresses the earth around the formation displacing structures to enable enhanced penetration of a tubule into the earth formation.
- A new and improved drive shoe for penetrating the soil is disclosed. The drive shoe, typically fastened below a conductor pipe section, has been found to increase the driveability of a string of conductor pipe by causing soil to be compressed and moved away from the ID and OD of the drive shoe.
- For a further understanding of the nature and objects of the present invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like elements are given the same or analogous reference numbers and wherein:
- Fig. 1 is a representational view of a typical offshore rig showing a conductor pipe being driven into a subsea earthen formation. Fig. 1A is a close up representational view of the drive shoe attached to conductor pipe.
- Fig. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view of the drive shoe mounted with conductor pipe.
- Fig. 3 is a cross section of Fig. 2 showing the interior of the drive shoe with the interval beveled bottom teeth.
- Fig. 4 is a perspective view of exemplary embodiments of drive shoe teeth configurations.
- As illustrated in Fig. 1, a representational view of a typical offshore rig showing a conductor pipe being driven into a subsea, earthen formation, the drive shoe of the present invention, generally illustrated at 10, is connected to
conductor pipe 11 being driven into earthen formation12.Conductor pipe 11 forms acontinuous string 15 driven by a suitable pile driving and/orhammer apparatus 16 mounted on a suitable offshore drilling structure generally illustrated at 17, which is mounted onoffshore drilling rig 18 with supporting legs or structure as at 19 for drilling intoearth formation 12 beneath the surface ofwater 13. -
Conductor pipe string 15 forms an outer casing and must be driven deeply enough inearthen formation 12 for eliminating erosion, blow outs, or other pressures that may later be encountered within the well bore.Such conductor pipe 15 is typically driven to a satisfactory point which may be one hundred feet or more throughearthen formation 12. It should be evident to those skilled in the well drilling art that significant forces are exerted by the resistence ofearth formation 12. Accordingly, the purpose of driveshoe 10 is to enhance penetration ofconductor pipe 11 as it is driven. - Fig. 1A is a close up view of
drive shoe 10 embedded inearth formation 12. - Referring now to Fig. 2, a partial cross-sectional view of an embodiment of
drive shoe 10 mounted withconductor pipe 11, and Fig. 3, a cross section of Fig. 2 showing the interior of an embodiment ofdrive shoe 10 with interval beveledteeth 28,drive shoe 10 may have a larger inner and/or outer diameter thanconductor pipe 11 to which driveshoe 10 is attached. - In a preferred embodiment,
drive shoe 10 is fixedly attached tolower end 20 ofconductor pipe 11 such that inner diameter (ID) 22 and outer diameter (OD) 24 ofdrive shoe 10 are less than the interior diameter (not numbered in the figures) ofconductor pipe 11 and greater than the exterior diameter (not numbered in the figures) respectively. -
Drive shoe 10 is thicker than the bottom end ofconductor pipe 11 and thus is substantially stronger and more deformation resistant.Drive shoe 10 is fixedly attached toconductor pipe 11 by any suitable means such as welding or other type means. - In a preferred embodiment,
lower end 26 ofdrive shoe 10 includes a series of saw teeth, generally indicated at 28, havingexterior surface 46 with the same outer diameter asOD 24 ofdrive shoe 10. The lowest portion ofsaw teeth 28, illustrated at 30, ends atintersection 32 formed byedges Lower end 26 is beveled onID 24, the beveling, generally indicated at 34, preferably having a forty five degree angle although the angle may vary from twenty to eighty degrees. Typically,lower end 26 is first beveled and then sawteeth 28 cut intolower end 26 ofdrive shoe 10 such thatlower end 26 has projecting, formedteeth 28 onOD 24 but an interior beveled surface such as 34 such thatteeth 28 are slanted frompoint 36 forty five degrees outwardly to the tip oflowest portion 30. In this manner, the thickness ofteeth 28 atpoint 36 is thewall thickness 38 ofdrive shoe 10 and the thickness ofdrive shoe 10 decreases frompoint 36 tolowest portion 30 ofteeth 28. - As shown in Fig. 4,
teeth 28 may have numerous patterns as will be familiar to those skilled in the drive shoe arts, including by way of example and not limitation pointed 28A,round 28B, truncated 28C, castellated 28D, or the like, or any combination thereof. - As also illustrated,
exterior band 40 for increasing at least a portion ofOD 24 may be mounted onOD 24 of thedrive shoe 10 by any suitable manner, such as welding to the external surface ofdrive shoe 10, formingexterior band 40 intoOD 24, or other manners known to those skilled in the tubular arts. In addition, it should be understood thatinterior band 41 may be similarly formed or attached toID 22 ofdrive shoe 10 to decreaseID 22 at the location ofinterior band 41. It also should be understood that more than oneinterior band 40 or other structure for increasingOD 24 may be formed in or on or attached to the outer surface ofdrive shoe 10, and that more than oneinterior band 41 or other structure for decreasingID 22 may be formed or attachedID 22. - Further, it is within the contemplation of the present invention that
OD 24 alone may be larger than the outer diameter ofconductor pipe 11 to which driveshoe 10 is attached. It is further within the contemplation of the present invention thatID 22 alone may be larger than the inner diameter ofconductor pipe 11 to which driveshoe 10 is attached. It is further still within the contemplation of the present invention that intervalbeveled teeth 28 may be omitted when OD 24 is larger than the outer diameter ofconductor pipe 11 orID 22 is less than the interior diameter ofconductor pipe 11, or a combination thereof. In these embodiments, soil may be compressed externally and/or internally by the disparity in diameter, especially in the presence ofexterior band 40 and/orinterior band 41. - In the operation of the preferred embodiment, drive
shoe 10 is attached, by way of example and not limitation, such as by welding tolower end 20 ofconductor pipe 11. In a typical mode of operation,conductor string 15 is continually hammered bypile driving apparatus 16 to drive conductor pipe I intoearth formation 12. Asconductor string 15 is so driven, sawteeth 28, because of their structure, penetrate throughearth formation 12 and force soil inwardly while at the same time compressing soil to reduce the resistence away frominterior surface 44 ofdrive shoe 10. - In an alternative embodiment, an
inner band 41 or series ofinner bands 41 or any other similar structure that would further compress soil interiorly intodrive shoe 10 further compresses the soil to move it away frominterior surface 44 ofdrive shoe 10. In a further alternative embodiment, anexterior band 40 or series ofexterior bands 40 or any other structure that would further compresses soil exteriorly away fromdrive shoe 10 further compress the soil to move it away fromexterior surface 46 ofdrive shoe 10. - As
drive shoe 10 is being driven and penetratingearth formation 12,exterior band 40 compresses soil away fromexterior surface 46 ofdrive shoe 10 such thatearth formation 12 may be compressed away fromexterior surface 46. In the embodiment whereID 22 is larger than the inner diameter ofconductor pipe 11,earth formation 12 may be compressed away frominterior surface 46 byinner band 41. In either of these manners or in combination, enhanced penetration ofdrive shoe 10 and, along withdrive shoe 10,conductor string 15 intoearth formation 12 is achieved. - It will be appreciated that very specific combination examples have been described and disclosed, the invention of the instant application is considered to comprise and is intended to comprise any equivalent or alternative structure or elements.
