It is known that when tubular members are expanded, they change in axial length and hence have a component of movement in the longitudinal direction. This kind of movement when setting slips causes one or more of the wickers to poorly engage the complementary structure because they are moving longitudinally while moving radially into engagement.
- the lock ring 20 assists in this by reducing the longitudinal axial movement of the liner 12 since the wicker(s) 28 of the lock ring 20 engages the hanger prior to the slip subsystems engaging the hanger and thereby reduces potential longitudinal movement that might otherwise have occurred during expansion of the slip subsystem portions of the liner 12 .

Description
- In the resource recovery and fluid sequestration industries, there is often need to install liners in boreholes. While liner configurations are well known and have been installed in many ways, there is still a concern regarding pressure issues that can have an undesirable impact on reliability at the hanger and concerns about collapse and burst ratings. The art will well receive alternatives that improve reliability and also improve burst and collapse ratings.
- An embodiment of a lock ring including a tubular body having an inside surface and an outside surface, an expandable threadform on the inside surface, a wicker on the outside surface.
- An embodiment of an anchor for a liner including a tubular body having an inside surface transitioning from a first diameter to a second diameter and an outside surface, an expandable threadform on one of the first and second diameter surfaces, and a wicker on the outside surface.
- An embodiment of a threadform for expansion duty including a thread configured to maintain, during expansion, engagement at a flank thereof of at least about 50 percent of a height of the thread measured from root to crown and a crown width of about 20 to about 50 percent of thread height.
- An embodiment of a liner system including a liner, a lock ring disposed on the liner in contact with a slip subsystem, an anchor disposed on the liner in a position uphole of the lock ring when the system is oriented for use in a borehole.
- The following descriptions should not be considered limiting in any way. With reference to the accompanying drawings, like elements are numbered alike:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an expandable liner system as disclosed herein; -
FIG. 2 is a view illustrating the expansion threads; -
FIG. 3 illustrated how the threads move under deformation; -
FIG. 4 is a schematic view of the liner system disclosed herein being set in a borehole. -
FIG. 5 is a view of a borehole system including the expandable liner system disclosed herein. - 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.
- Referring to
FIG. 1 , a perspective section view of anexpandable liner system 10 is illustrated. The system comprises aliner 12, afirst slip subsystem 14, asecond slip subsystem 16, aseal 18 located between the first andsecond slip subsystems lock ring 20 and ananchor 22. During consideration of thesystem 10 it is to be appreciated that all components are assembled from one end of theliner 12. This provides a distinct advantage over prior art systems in that slip and burst/collapse ratings are higher due to the fact that there is no lapping thread in the liner below a hanger upon which thesystem 10 is hung as there is in the prior art. Theliner 12 insystem 10 is full thickness below the hanger (not shown this figure) and thereby capable of burst and collapse ratings much higher than would be a liner with a threadform cut therein. Further, theanchor 22 may be configured with apolished bore 23 therein that is still above the hanger while still supporting assembly from the one end of the liner as noted above. -
System 10 includes both a first andsecond slip subsystem seal 18 therebetween because the assembly protects load capacity rating. Seal 18 prevents pressure events from one side of thesystem 10 from reaching both of the slip subsystems. Therefore, were a pressure event to occur from downhole of thesystem 10, theliner 12 might be compressed to some extent that could undermine the engagement of thefirst slip system 14 with the hanger causing that slip subsystem to have a significantly lower load capacity rating. Seal 18 however, prevents that pressure event from also compromising thesecond slip subsystem 16 and rather allows that system to remain in perfect working order, thereby maintaining the load capacity rating. Alternatively, if a pressure event occurred uphole of thesystem 10, the casing (not shown this figure) could balloon, thereby undermining the rating of thesecond slip subsystem 16 by reducing the engagement of thesecond slip subsystem 16 with the hanger. The second slip subsystem would therefore be derated in this condition but due to theseal 18, thefirst slip subsystem 14 would be unaffected by the pressure event and hence would maintain the full load capacity rating. - From
FIG. 1 , it is also apparent that theslip subsystems seal 18 are tightly packaged axially (“axially” being used to refer to the longitudinal extent of the liner 12) upon theliner 12. The slip subsystems and the seal are maintained in this position for run in by thelock ring 20.Lock ring 20 includes alock ring body 24, aninside surface thread 26 and anoutside surface wicker 28.Thread 26 is to be mated to a matching male thread 27 (seeFIGS. 2 and 3 ) on an outside surface of theliner 12.Threads 26 and 27 are required to remain engaged both pre and post expansion of theliner 12. During expansion, threads are moved and stretched such that commonly a subset of the total number of threads are actually engaged, In some cases, which can be understood from the angles illustrated inFIG. 3 there are only two or three threads actually bearing upon each other due to the deformation of the members during the expansion. Even though there are only two or three threads engaged, they still must not shear or the expansion would result in a failure. It has been determined by the inventors hereof that the load flank must maintain at least about ½ engagement (e.g. 50% of thread height) of the threads that are engaged throughout the expansion process while thread width should be about 20-50% greater than thread height. Thewicker 28 may be one or more wickers and in embodiments may be hardened. It is noted that hardened wickers for this component are contemplated because it is acceptable for thelock ring 20 to split during expansion since its functions are to hold thesubsystems seal 18 in place for run in and then to potentially assist in restricting longitudinal movement of the liner during expansion. It is known that when tubular members are expanded, they change in axial length and hence have a component of movement in the longitudinal direction. This kind of movement when setting slips causes one or more of the wickers to poorly engage the complementary structure because they are moving longitudinally while moving radially into engagement. This is particularly true in an expansion situation using a swage because the radial expansion happens over time from one end of the tubular member to the other and hence the wickers brought into engagement first are only one or two, for example, and have relatively little longitudinal holding power. Those two will then slide longitudinally gouging the complementary structure (here the hanger) and have little load capacity. The restriction of liner longitudinal movement is desirable because it ensures that forslip subsystems lock ring 20 assists in this by reducing the longitudinal axial movement of theliner 12 since the wicker(s) 28 of thelock ring 20 engages the hanger prior to the slip subsystems engaging the hanger and thereby reduces potential longitudinal movement that might otherwise have occurred during expansion of the slip subsystem portions of theliner 12. - In addition to the foregoing, the
anchor 22 includes ananchor body 30 having aninside surface thread 32 and anoutside surface wicker 34.Thread 32 is another pre and post expansion engagement type thread similar to that of thelock ring 20. The anchor differs in that the wicker(s) 34 are not hardened since the splitting of theanchor 22 during expansion is not permitted. Rather, the anchor must remain a sealed component after expansion. It will also be noted that relativelymore wickers 34 are provided onanchor 22 than are provided onlock ring 20. This is directly related to the deformation resistance of each wicker. Hardened wickers have substantially greater resistance to deformation relative to nonhardened wickers and accordingly fewer are needed to provide a desired amount of movement limitation. - In embodiments, it is contemplated that the
lock ring 20 could be omitted by extending the length of the anchor to substitute for thelock ring 20 job of compressing the slip subsystems and seal for running. - During use, and referring to
FIG. 4 , thesystem 10 is run in theborehole 40 into aparent casing 42 having aliner hanger 44. Thesystem 10 is easy to run because it has a reduced diameter. Once thesystem 10 reaches thehanger 44, aswage 46 is run through thesystem 10 to expand the same thereby preparing theborehole 40 for further activities. - One of the benefits of the
system 10 is that tit allows the used of softer less expensive low alloy steel materials, for example, without burst and collapse rating reductions. - Referring to
FIG. 5 , aborehole system 50 including thesystem 10 comprises aborehole 52 in asubsurface formation 54. Acasing 56 is disposed within theborehole 52. And theliner system 10 is disposed within thecasing 56. - Set forth below are some embodiments of the foregoing disclosure:
