Definitions
- the field of the invention relates to completion techniques involving fracturing and more particularly the ability to fracture discrete segments of a formation in a desired order through valved ports which can then be configured for sand control duty to let production begin without using a crossover tool and a separate run for sand control screens after the fracturing operation.
- Typical completion sequences in the past involve running in an assembly of screens with a crossover tool and an isolation packer above the crossover tool.
- the crossover tool has a squeeze position where it eliminates a return path to allow fluid pumped down a work string and through the packer to cross over to the annulus outside the screen sections and into the formation through, for example, a cemented and perforated casing.
- the casing could have telescoping members that are extendable into the formation and the tubular from which they extend could be cemented or not cemented.
- the fracture fluid in any event, would go into the annular space outside the screens and get squeezed into the formation that is isolated by the packer above the crossover tool and another downhole packer or the bottom of the hole.
- a completion tubular is placed in position adjacent the zone or zones to be fractured and produced. It features preferably sliding sleeve valves that can assume at least two configurations: wide open and open with a screen material juxtaposed in the flow passage.
- the valve assembly has three positions, adding a fully closed position to the other two mentioned.
- the valves can be put in the wide open position in any order desired to fracture.
- the valves can be closed or selectively be put in filtration position for production from the fractured zones in any desired order.
- the tubular can have telescoping pistons through which the fracturing can take place if the application calls for a cemented tubular.
- the tubular can be in open hole and simply have openings for passage of fracture fluid and external isolators to allow fracturing in any desired order.

- FIG. 1 One way to illustrate the method of the present invention is to refer to FIG. 1.
- Wellbore 10 has a casing 12 that is cemented 14.
- a work string 16 suspends a tubular string 18 that has an external liner hanger/seal 20, shown in a set position to support string 18 from casing 12.
- string 18 is shown with upper ports 22 and lower ports 24. While only a single port 22 or 24 is shown, those skilled in the art will understand that the drawing is schematic and each hole represents multiple openings arranged in any order desired to meet the flow requirements.
- each opening 22 and 24 has a telescoping assembly 26 and 28 respectively that are shown in a retracted position for run in. Assemblies 26 and 28 could also be within string 18 for run in.
- Assemblies 26 and 28 respectively have passages 30 and 32 which are initially respectively blocked by rupture discs 34 and 36. Openings 22 and 24 respectively have a valve assembly 38 and 40 located nearby in tubular 18.
- valve assemblies have a clear port 42 and 44 and a filtration port 46 and 48. They also have a long blank section 50 and 52.
- the way valve assemblies 38 and 40 operate will be explored in detail later.
- the filtration material in port 46 is preferably a sintered metal but other filtration materials can be used such as mesh screens.
- the assembly 38 is shown as a three position valve but it can be also be a two position valve that only presents either opening 42 or 46 aligned with port 22. In that configuration, there is no closing the valve assembly 38.
- FIG. 2 shows the assemblies 26 and 28 extended and the tubular 18 cemented with cement 54. These two steps can be in either order. None else has changed.
- FIG. 3 shows a work string 56 lowered into position and ready to break rupture disc 36 to fracture through assembly 28.
- FIG. 4 the rupture disc 36 is broken and proppant slurry 58 is pumped under pressure into the formation 60 through assembly 28 via aligned ports 44 and 24. Pressure is maintained until flow drops off indicating the fracture through assemblies 28 is complete.
- FIG. 5 the work string 56 is raised up in preparation for fracturing through assemblies 26 by breaking rupture disc 34 and delivering proppant or sand slurry 62 into formation 64.
- a fluid loss control device such as a fluid loss control pill or another mechanism common to the art may be employed.
- FIG. 6 illustrates the valve assemblies 38 and 40 shifted up to align respectively port 46 with 22 and port 48 with 24.
- a production string can be inserted and the formations 60 or/and 64 can be produced in any desired order or two or more formations at once.
- FIG. 23 shows a wellbore 70 that is an open hole at its lower end 72.
- Casing 74 is cemented with cement 76.
- a running string 78 carries in a tubular string 80 until it can be secured to casing 74 with a hanger/packer 82.
- the string 80 has for example two arrays of ports 84 and 86. Each array represents the needed number of openings properly sized and in any desired pattern.
- Each array of ports 84 and 86 has an associated valve member 88 and 90 respectively.
- each valve member has two hole arrays to match the patterns of ports 84 and 86.
- valve member 88 that would be arrays 92 and 94 and in valve member 90 it would be arrays 96 and 98.
- Arrays 92 and 96 are open ports while arrays 94 and 98 have preferably a sintered metal filtration media but other types of screen materials such as wire mesh could also be used.
- FIG. 24 position there is no array alignment with ports 84 or 86 rendering those ports closed.
- the valve assemblies need not all be identical. Some can be two position with no closed position and others can be three position with a closed, fracture and screen positions, as required.
- valve assemblies 88 or 90 The actual operation of valve assemblies 88 or 90 will be discussed below.
- An external packer 100 is shown in the run in position. It can be one of a variety of packer styles and can be set by swelling or by expansion of string 80 with an adjustable swage, for example that can be run in through the work string 78 past valve assembly 88 to expand string 80 from inside in the region of the external packer 100. Other packer types are also envisioned.
- the packer 100 is set to isolate portion 102 from portion 104 of the wellbore 70. Ports 84 and 86 are both closed.
- FIG. 26 a work string 106 with a schematically illustrated shifter 108 is run into the wellbore 70 to put the array of openings 96 into alignment with matching array 86 so that segment 104 can be fractured. Openings 84 are still closed.
- FIG. 27 shows the portion 104 of the wellbore 70 fully fractured and the string 106 repositioned and ready to align array 92 with array 84.
- the frac job for portion 102 of the wellbore 70 uphole of packer 100 has been fractured.
- the work string 106 has shifted up and is in position to be further manipulated to reposition valve assemblies 88 and 90 into a filtration position.
- FIG. 29 shows the work string repositioned prior to movement of valve assemblies 88 and 90.
- the work string 106 is removed and arrays 94 and 98 are respectively aligned with arrays 84 and 86.
- the wellbore 70 can now go into production when a production string and a packer are set into position in string 80.
- the string 78 that delivers the tubing string 80 can also do duty as a shifting device taking away any need to run a separate string 106 with a shifting device 108 on its lower end.
- the same string that delivers string 80 can also shift valve assemblies 88 and 90 as described and ultimately with a proper external packer (not shown) can also serve as the production string after the valve assemblies 88 and 90 are in the filtration mode shown in FIG. 30.
- the advantage of the method shown in FIGS. 24-30 is that screens and a crossover tool need not be run at all.
- the fracturing job can be done in any sequence desired by moving valves in the right order and setting external packers to isolate ports such as 84 and 86 in the open hole using a packer such as 100 between pairs of hole arrays. From fracturing the well can go right to production through the filter media in the arrays such as 94 and 98 when aligned with respective arrays 84 and 86.
- Removing the crossover tool reduces risks of its failure from erosion or from getting stuck and not assuming the squeeze and then the circulation positions it must be put into to do fracturing followed by gravel packing.
- the elimination of the gravel packing also removes risks of bridging during gravel packing or complex structures such as bypass tubes in the annulus to get around sand bridges that form during gravel packing. Countless hours of rig time are saved as well as equipment charges to the well operator.
- Valve assemblies such as 38 and 40 can be arranged for individual operation or for tandem operation, as needed. They can be locally actuated through a work string 56 with a shifting tool 101 or they can be locally powered or powered by applied pressure, pressure differential, locally mounted and powered motors or other ways.
- FIG. 7 shows the movable sleeve 110 disposed in a recess 112 whose ends are defined by movable travel stops 114 and 116. Lower end 118 is against stop 116 in FIG. 7 and that puts both ports 120 that is unobstructed and ports 122 that have a filtration media preferably sintered metal 124 out of alignment with ports 126 of the tubular 128. This defines the closed position because a blank wall straddles seals 130 and 132 mounted to the tubular 128.
- FIG. 7 shows the movable sleeve 110 disposed in a recess 112 whose ends are defined by movable travel stops 114 and 116. Lower end 118 is against stop 116 in FIG. 7 and that puts both ports 120 that is unobstructed and ports 122 that have a filtration media preferably sintered metal 124 out of alignment with ports 126 of the tubular 128. This defines the closed position because a blank wall straddles seals 130 and 132 mounted to the tubular 128.
- FIG. 8 shows the sleeve 110 shifted so that upper end 134 is against stop 114 to get ports 120 into alignment with ports 126 to define the fracturing position.
- a known shifting tool (not shown) can grab sleeve 110 at grooves 136 or 138 and move sleeve 110 in opposed directions for closing ports 126, as shown in FIG. 7, or putting them in a fully open and unobstructed position for fracturing, as shown in FIG. 8. It should be noted that with the stops 114 and 116 in the FIGS. 7 and 8 positions the ports 122 cannot be put into alignment with ports 126.
- Stops 114 and 116 are rotatably mounted using threads 140 and 142 respectively. Stops 114 and 116 have a series of recesses schematically illustrated as 144 and 146 that allow a tool (not shown) to be run in and make contact there to rotate stops 114 and 116 about their respective threads 140 or 142 for repositioning of one or both stops as needed. In FIG. 9 both stops 114 and 116 have been shifted right or downhole. Sleeve 110 has moved in tandem with stop 140 but ports 126 are still closed. FIG. 10 shows sleeve 110 shifted with a tool (not shown) that attached at groove 138.
- stops 114 and 116 could be eliminated and sleeve 110 can be secured in recess 112 by a thread so that rotating it advances it longitudinally or sleeve 110 can be connected by a rack and pinion and driven longitudinally in opposed directions by a locally mounted motor or a driving force provided from a running tool, hydrostatic pressure or applied pressure in the wellbore, to name a few examples.
- Sleeve 110 can be made in pieces that move relative to each other so that instead of moving the travel stops 114 or 116 one portion of the sleeve 110 can be moved with respect to another to reposition the sleeve or openings thereon to achieve the same choice of positions for ports 126. Yet other modes of manipulation of the sleeve such as 110 will be described below.
- FIG. 11 shows a valve member 148 in a housing 150 that has port arrays 152 and 154 for example.
- Valve member 148 has unobstructed arrays 156 and 158 shown aligned with ports 152 and 154 to define the fracturing position.
- the valve member 148 is secured to the housing 150 with a j-slot mechanism, two examples of which are illustrated in FIGS. 14 and 15.
- One way of manipulating the valve member 148 is to use a shifting tool (not shown) and grab an internal recess 160 so that a pickup or set down force can be applied to sleeve 148 to move it to the FIGS.
- FIG. 12 shows the valve member shifted from the FIG. 11 position so that ports 152 and 154 are obstructed by valve member 148 to define the fully closed position.
- FIG. 13 shows port arrays 160 and 162 that carry a filtering material, preferably sintered metal, and now in alignment with ports 152 and 154 which is the ready for production position that is used after fracturing is complete. Fracturing occurs with the components in the FIG. 11 position. There are thus, three positions for the illustrated valve assembly which need definition in the j-slot mechanism. The j-stot in FIG.
- valve 14 operates to change positions of the valve member 148 by a combination of a pick up and a set down of weight.
- the pin (not shown) lands at the uppermost point 164 of the rolled open j- slot pattern shown in FIG. 14 the valve member 148 is in the FIG. 13 position for production with screening. In the 166 position, the valve member is in the fracturing position of FIG. 11. Finally, when the j-slot pin lands at position 168 the valve member 148 is in the closed position of FIG. 12.
- the three positions can be obtained with a j-slot that uses pick up and hold at point 170 of FIG. 15 as the production with filtration position shown in FIG. 13.
- Position 174 for the j-slot pin corresponds to the fracture position of FIG. 1 1 and position 172 corresponds to the closed position of FIG. 12.
- valve member 148 Although a single sleeve is shown with two spaced arrays where at each location there are unobstructed and filtered ports there could be additional or fewer such arrays on a single valve member 148.
- the closed position is optional. Movement of the valve member 148 can also be accomplished using pressure techniques as will be described below.
- FIGS. 16-19 One such pressure technique is illustrated in FIGS. 16-19.
- a housing 176 joined by threaded connections has an annular wall recess 178 in which is mounted a movable piston 180 that has seals 182 and 184 and a port 186 that leads into recess 178. Seals 188 and 190 allow the piston to reciprocate while holding pressure in recess 178.
- Piston 180 divides recess 178 into variable volume cavities 192 and 194.
- port 196 communicates with cavity 194.
- Piston 180 is connected to valve member 198 that has an array of unobstructed openings 200 and an array of filtered openings 202.
- a travel stop 204 defines the FIG.
- Housing 176 also has a series of spaced projections 208, 210 and 212 that are preferably on a predetermined spacing.
- Valve member 198 has a depression 214 shown in FIG. 17 to be registered with projection 208 to hold the position of FIG. 17 with ports 206 closed.
- a running string 218 has an external seal 220 that is shown positioned between openings 186 and 196.
- Piston 180 has a port 222 that permits pressure delivered through string 218 to go through port 196 and then through port 222 to reach cavity 194 to push piston 180 to the left or uphole. Movement of piston 180 uphole takes with it valve member 198 as recess 214 jumps over projections 208 and moves uphole until recesses 214 registers with projection 210. This position is shown in FIG. 18 and illustrates the alignment of array of filtration ports 202 with housing ports 206.
- piston 180 can be reversed by simply applying pressure into annular space 226 to push down piston 180 while displacing fluid from cavity 194 through ports 222 and then 196 followed by a return into the string 218.
- FIGS. 20-22 an alternative using applied pressure is illustrated in FIGS. 20-22.
- the parts in the housing 176' are identical to the FIGS. 16-19 embodiment.
- work string 230 has an internal sleeve 232 with a series of radial ports 234 that emerge between seals 236 and 238.
- Annular cavities 240 and 242 are formed respectively between seal pairs 238 and 244 for cavity 242 and seals 236 and 246 for cavity 240.
- Passage 248 fluidly connects cavities 240 and 242.
- Passage 250 exits from cavity 242 through the wall of string 230 and above external seal 254.
- Passage 252 exits cavity 240 between external seals 256 and 258.
- Ports 234 provide a radial exit from within string 230 through its wall and between external seals 254 and 256. Assuming string 230 is closed or can be closed at its lower end 260 or the extension of the tubular housing 176' is closed to pressure below lower end 260, applying pressure in the Fig. 20 position directs pressure from ports 234 into cavity 192' to move the piston 180' as the cavity 192' gets bigger while cavity 194' gets smaller by displacing fluid through ports 222' followed by ports 196' followed by annulus 262, which is equalized with cavities 240 and 242. In this manner, the piston 180' can be advanced to its other positions as previously described.
- ports 234 are now in fluid communication with ports 196' instead of 186' as in FIG. 20.
- Ports 250 are now in communication with the annulus 262.
- Pressure applied from string 230 through ports 234 communicates to ports 196' and then through ports 222' to push piston 180' in a direction to make cavity 194' larger in volume and cavity 192' smaller in volume.
- the displaced fluid from cavity 192' goes through ports 186', then into cavity 240, then into cavity 242 through passage 248, then through ports 250 and into annulus 262.
- the resulting movement of the valve member (not shown in FIGS. 20-22) is the same as described with regard to FIGS. 16-19.
- FIG. 22 shows another way to get the same result as the position of the string 230 in FIG. 20.
- the pressure is simply delivered out the lower end 260 and goes into ports 186'. From there, the pressure enlarges cavity 192' and displaces fluid from cavity 194' in series through ports 222', 196', 252, passage 248, ports 250 and into annular space 262.
- the present invention allows for dual purpose ports in a tubular string that can accommodate fracturing and then be switched to filtration so that in an open hole completion, for example, there is no need to run in a screen assembly and a crossover tool.
- the ports can be configured for fracturing in any order needed and can have external isolators in the open hole between them so as to allow different portions of the wellbore to be treated individually or together as needed and in any desired order. By the same token, different regions can be produced or shut off as needed.
- the valve assembly can be two positions for fracturing and production or three positions by adding a closed position.
- Trips to the well can be reduced further by using the same run in string to deliver the completion string, move the valves in it as needed and also serve as the production string after putting the required valves in production mode.
- Different techniques can be used to actuate the valves including mechanical force, pressure and a j-slot combined with physical manipulation to name a few.
- the elimination of a crossover tool and a screen section not only saves rig time but eliminates the operational risks that are associated with using crossover tools and gravel packing screens, such as erosion in the crossover tool and bridging in the gravel pack.
- FIGS. 31-33 An alternative embodiment is illustrated in FIGS. 31-33.
