Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented March 10, 1908.
Application led March 7, 1907. Serial No. 361,105.
l'o all whom it may concern:
lie it known that I, LAWRENCE E. ROBIN- soN, a resident of Butler, in the county of Butler 'and State of Pennsylvania, have inventedjcertain new and useful Improve ments irli'Well-Packers,l of which the following is a specification.
One object of this invention is to. provide improved means for holding compressed or packed in set position the rubber annulus of a deep well packer, whereby it cannot be dislodged by the expansive force of the rubber, or by any means other than that under the control of the operator.
A further object is to provide a double packer, that is-two packers which may be separated any' desiredi distance, being connected by an intervening tubing, whereby a well may be packed in two places at one and the same time. An instance of this use would be that ofvshutting in a water bearing stratum entering either an oil or gas well, one packer being located above the water and the other below it.
A further purpose is to so arrange the packers that when setting the lower packer the upper packer operates as a rigid part or section ofthe tubing by means of which the packer is manipulated, means being provided or manipulating the upper packer so as to set 1t 1n an effective manner after the lower packer has been set. Conversely, in removmg the packers, the mechanism operates to first lrelease the upper packer, and then the loweiacker so that both can be removed from t fe well.
Still a'further purpose of the invention is to provide improved means for inserting the packerin a well, which means may be connected and disconnected at the pleasure of the operator. Thus, after setting the double packer in an instance like that above recited for shutting in water, or after setting a single packer, the letting-in mechanisn'i may be removed from thewell, so that, so far as manipulating the packer is concerned, it is unneces- 'sary to leave a line of tubing 1n the well.
ln the accompanying drawings, Figure lis a vertical sectional View of the double packer, partly broken away, showing the lower packer set and the upper packer ex )anded or unset. Fig. 2 is a similar4 view, showing both packersset. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the letting-in. device together with the upper extremity of the packer to which it connects. Fig. 4 is a sectional view of a portion of the upper packer, illustrating the internal construction thereof, and the relative positions of the internal arts of the fixed and movable portions of tiie packer. Fig. 5 is a vertical sectional view, enlarged, of the ortion of the mechanism shown in Fig. 4, ,us-
and Fig. l2 is a sectional view of the lower extremity of the packer shown in'Fi 11 when the same is utilized as a lug pac er.
Referring to the drawings2 esignates the I tubular body of the lower packer, having col-. lar 3 secured to its upper end.
4 designates the lower head or sleeve through which body 2 moves, and 5 is'the 'Y rubber annulus which is compressed between sleeves 3 and 4'.
The lower portion of body 2 carries the anchor mechanism which consists of ring 6 slidable on body 2 and provided with the upwardlyprojecting spring arms or reins 7 having the slips or wedges 8 at their upper ends which secure sleeve 4 to the well wall, as in Figs. 1, 2 and 9. Also secured to rings ^.Fig. 10 isa view 11 is a 6 are the outwardly bowed springs 9 which engage the sides of the hole and oHer resistance to the downward movement of the packer.v It is therefore necessary to provide means for holding ring 6 depressed on body 2, with slips 8 out of holding or wedging position, as in Fig. 7, while the packer is being lowered. This holding means consists of a spring arm 10 secured at its upper end to one of reins 7 and carrying a pin 11 which is mov able through an aperture inring 6 and enters groove 2 in body 2, as in Fig. 7, thereby preventing the body from moving downward in said ring. The top face of groove 2 forms a right angle shoulder, while the lower portion thereof tapers downwardly and outwardly, as shown. Hence, while body 2 cannot lower past the groove so long as the pin 1s lodged therein, the beveled lower face of the groove will permit the body to freely rise. I Hinged to the lower extremity of arm 10 1s latch 12, which 1s normally in downwardly turned position, as in Fig. 7, with spring 10 pressing inward and holding pin 11 in groove 2.
"When the packer structure is lowered in the well into the position in which it is to be set, its movement is reversed, or in other Words, it is raised slightly, and as ring 6 and the spring arms and slips carried thereby are held from raising by springs 9, packer body 2 moves upward through the ring, and causes foot piece 13 to turn latch 12 inward and upward against ring 6, as in Fig. 8, thus holding spring 1() deflected outward and preventing pin 11 from catching in groove 2 when the packer body 2 is again lowered, as in Fig. 9. Thus, collar 4 lowers and expands slips 8, and theanchoring of the packer is made complete.v When lowering body 2 from the position shown in Fig. 8 to that of Fig. 9, groove 2 catches the upturned latch and turns it downward, so that when next the anchorage is released by raising body 2 and collar 4 (the latter from slips 8), pin 11 will again spring into groove 2 when it comes in line therewith, and the mechanism will be in its original adjustment as when being lowered in the well, and cannot be again set.
without first raising, then lowering body 2,
as above described. By this means the packer may be removed, or its position shifted as may be desired.
The inner wall `of collar 4 is formed with channel 14, and confined in opposite portions thereof are the inwardly pressing toothed dogs 15 which engage the series of ratchet-teeth 16, formed on opposite portions of body 2. Thus, when the packer is entered in the well and collar 4 anchored, pressure from above depresses body 2, and com resses the rubber between collars 3 and 4. uring this movement teeth 16 slip past dogs 15, and the latter prevent any upward movement of the body. The packer is thus permanently held in set position and the expansive force of the rubber cannot be exerted to dislodge it, nor can it be dislodged from below by anything short of a. wrecking pressure.
To remove the bottom packer, it is only necessary to turn its body 2 at right angles to the position in which it is shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 11, thus disengaging teeth 16 from the dogs, and with the dogs then pressing againstthe intervening smooth surface of the body the latter may be drawn upward, releasing the rubber, when the packer may be removed.
While the foregoing description has been in connection with the lower packer of a double packer structure, its operation is the same as when used as a single wall packer as in Fig. 11, the only ditlerence being that in the latter case a special form of letting-in collar 17 is substituted for collar 3, the construction and operation of which will be channel. yt gage the outer surface of body 22 and mesh fwith the vertical serles of ratchet-teeth 29 presently described. A cap 18, Fig. 12, mav displace foot 13, Fig. 11, when the single packer is used as a plug packer for permanently closing a well.
Referring again to the double packer structure, collar 3 of the lower packer is connected by tubing 19 of any required length with bottom collar 20 of the upper packer, and ex? tending from this collar is the tubular casing or body 2l through which the upper packer body 22 moves. rlhe upper extremity of casing 2l forms the lower abutment for the rubber 23, while secured to the upper end of body'22 is one of the collars 17.
The upper portion of casing 21 has its inner face channeled at 24, the lower portion of the channel being inclosed by the inclined lip portion 25. Mounted in opposite sides of channel 24 are toothed dogs 26 which tilt inward over lip 25, being normally so held by springs 27. Lip 25 operates to confine the dogs within channel 24, while a in 28, which the lower end of each dog embraces, prevents the dog from moving around in the These spring-pressed dogs 26 enformed in opposite portions of the l'latter when the body is so turned as to engage the same. At other times, the smooth surfaces of the body intermediate teeth-series 29 arel alined with the dogs, and the body may be' moved vertically as required.
Arranged at right angles to teeth-series 29 are opposite depressions or notches 30 in body 22, which when the upper packer is unset, are turned to be engaged by dogs 26, as shown in Fig. 1, thus preventing depression ol body 22 in casing 21. Carried by the lower portion of body 22 is the annular ring or enlargement 31 formed with opposite vertical slots 32. Casing 21 is formed with the annular internal shoulder 33, and beneath this shoulder are. the opposite inwardly projecting pins 34 which form stops for ring 32 when the packer is being drawn upward, but rotation of the packer body is notl prevented until slots 32 of the ring register with pins 34, when the ring is raised into engagement with shoulder 33 and the packer body held against independent rotation.
The operations of setting and removing the double packer are as follows: When being inserted in the well, the upper packer structure is in the adjustment shown in Fig. 1, with dogs 26 in engagement with notches 30, thus preventing the upper packer from collapsing. After the lower packer has been anchored in the manner heretofore described, the weight of the structure above, augmented if necessary by pressure, compresses Y in mechanism is given a half-rotation which operates to disengage `the dogs 26 from notches 30, and alines teeth series 29 with said dogs. `Thus vby exerting downward pressure, the latter is collapsed and body 22 rigidly held in downward position by the dogs. For removing the double packer structure from the well, upper packer body 22 is given a half turn which disengages teeth 29 from dogs 26, when body 22 may be turned upward, relaxing and releasing the upper rubber 23. upward pull on body 22 the latter is turned until ring-notches 32 interlock with pins 34, as in dotted lines in Fig. 4, preventing further independent rotation of said body. A further turning ol body 22 therefore results in the turning also of casing 21 with which it is interlOcked, this turning connecting tubing 19, and body 2 of thel lower packer. This movement disengages teeth 16 thereof from dogs 15, whereupon the lower packer body is free to move upward, releasing the rubber, and permitting the whole structure to be removed from the well. While spring dogs and ratchet mechanism of the upper and lower packers have been separately described and numbered, they are identical, as are also the teeth on the packer bodies which cooperate with them.
In order to manipulate the packer v. ithout providing a permanent operating tulV ing extending to the top of the v. ell, it is necessary to provide an operating means which may be connected u ith and disconnected from the packer at v` ill, and which when connected may be operated to turn the packer as required in the setting and releasing operations. Under many conditions it is absolutely necessary to provide a detachable operating means, and under other conditions-it is highly desirable as a matter of economy, an instance of the latter being the setting of a plug packer in a shut-in Well. 'l`o this end, I provide the special form of collar 17 at the upper end of the upper packer, this collar having its interior flared upA ardly and outwardly as shonn, and provided at opposite sides u ith pin-holes 35. 36 is the lower extremity of a string of letting-in tubing having secured thereto head 37, tapered to enter the flared upper end of collar 17. Movable through openings in opposite sides of heads 37 are pins or bolts 38 secured to the lower extremities of the upwardly bowed spring 39. The arms of this spring are formed with lateral bends or oil-sets 39', the upper portion of the spring being narrow er or smaller than its lou er portion. The springs operate to hold pins 3S normally projected and entered in holes 35 of collar 17, thus interlocking the letting-in mechanism and the packer, and enabling the latter to be turned as required. To connect the letting-in mechanism with a packer set in a well, said mechan- Then, while exerting an` ism is simply lowered, pins 38being held projected by the spring. When head 37 enters collar 17, pins 38 are pressed inw ard until the head has been turned sufficiently to cause them to register u ith holes 35, vshen the' spring forces them outvard and locks the parts together.
1^.4 hile the packer is being let into the well and while it is being set, the upper bowed end of spring is embraced by the inverted cup-shaped device 10, which rests on offsets 3Q', as shown in .Fig 2. To disengage the letting-in device a n eight 41 is dropped through casing 36 and drives device 40 down over and contracts the spring, as shown in Fig. 3, retractingpins 38 and releasing the hold on the packer.
