More specifically, in the present embodiment, the specific connection manner and the movement state between the structures of the hanger are described as follows:
fig. 1 is a schematic view of a metal seal liner hanger. In this embodiment, the liner suspension system 38 includes a liner suspension mechanism 22 generally located adjacent to a top packer 40, and the top packer 40 may be actuated to form a seal between the liner suspension system 38 and the surrounding casing 28. Other components in the liner suspension system 38 that may be combined with the liner hanger mechanism 22 include a swage collar 42, a float collar 44, and a float shoe 46. Running string 32 includes running tool 30, running tool 30 being disposed between recyclable base pipe 48 and swivel 50. The run in string 32 may also include components such as a slip joint 52, a swivel ball joint 54, a swab cup assembly 56, and a liner plug 58. The swivel ball seat joint 54 may include a ball seat 36 for receiving and forming a seal with the ball 34. Run-in string 32 has an open interior channel 60 to accommodate movement of fluids and/or devices. The internal passageway 60 enables internal movement of a device such as the ball 34 or the plug 62. The running string 32 may include various other and/or additional functions, such as a dust cap 64, depending on the application.
Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of the liner hanging mechanism 22. The liner hanging mechanism 22 includes a body 66 having a wellbore anchoring device 68 mounted thereon that is configured to grip the inner surface of the casing 28. When the liner hanging mechanism 22 is moved to a desired position along the wellbore, the liner hanging mechanism 22 is set, and the wellbore anchoring device 68 is moved to a position engaged with the casing 28. The wellbore anchoring device 68 is activated to ensure that the liner hanging mechanism 22 and liner do not move further down.
Specifically, the running tool 30 of the running string 32 deploys the liner hanging mechanism 22 and the entire liner to the desired downhole location. The wellbore anchoring device 68 is then hydraulically actuated to drive a plurality of liner hanging slips 70 into contact with the inner surface of the casing 28. As described above, the ball 34 may be plunged into the sealing engagement of the ball seat 36, thereby enabling pressurization within the liner hanging mechanism 22. The slips 70 are driven along respective drogues 72 by hydraulic sleeves 74 disposed about the body 66, the drogues 72 radially pressing the gripping teeth 75 of the slips 70 into the surrounding casing 28 as the slips 70 are driven longitudinally by the hydraulic sleeves 74. Once engaged, the wellbore anchoring device 68 resists downward movement of the liner hanging mechanism 22 and liner.
Arrow 76 indicates the direction of the hanging load applied by the liner and carried by the liner hanging slip 70. The load represented by arrow 76 may be transferred from the liner hanger body 66 to the drogue 72 as represented by arrow 78. This load is then transferred to the liner hanging slips 70 by, for example, the engaged ramp indicated by load arrow 80. The load force represented by arrow 80 is effective to transfer the lateral load of the liner hanging slips 70 into the respective casing 28, as represented by arrow 82. Accordingly, the liner hanging mechanism 22 is able to support the weight of the liner hanging from the liner hanger body 66 of the liner hanging mechanism 22.
Reference is made to fig. 3 and 4. The illustrated embodiment shows a cylindrical hydraulic sleeve 74 disposed about the body 66. The hydraulic sleeve 74 is disposed on a port 88 extending transversely through the body 66 from an internal passage 92 of the body 66. In some embodiments, ports 88 include a plurality of ports disposed circumferentially along body 66 and within hydraulic sleeve 74.
The applied hydraulic force passes through the internal passage 60 of the drop string 32 and the internal passage 92 of the liner hanging mechanism 22 and the ports 88 into the sealing area 90 between the body 66 and the hydraulic sleeve 74 to effect actuation of the liner hanging slips 70. As described above, pressurized hydraulic fluid flows downwardly through the internal passage 92, out of the ports 88, into the sealing area 90, and forces the hydraulic sleeve 74 in the direction of the liner hanging slips 70, as pressurized after the ball 34, within the passage 92 of the liner hanging mechanism 22. Described in more detail, pressurized hydraulic fluid may flow into and fill the sealing region 90 through a diametrical gap formed along the metal-to-metal sealing feature. The sealing area 90 may be defined by a plurality of seals 94, and these seals 94 may take the form of metal seals (see fig. 7).
According to the illustrated embodiment, the hydraulic sleeve 74 is connected to the liner hanging slips 70 by push rings 96. Additionally, a slip retainer 98 may be coupled between the push ring 96 and the liner hanging slips 70. The hydraulic sleeve 74 is coupled to the push ring 96 by a threaded region 100 and shear screws 102. Threaded region 100 includes threads that threadably engage along push ring 96 and along hydraulic sleeve 74. The push ring 96 and hydraulic sleeve 74 are locked against relative rotation by shear screws 102 during the run in and setting of the casing 28 by the slips 70.
Further, the hydraulic sleeve 74 may be rotationally locked relative to the body 66, for example, by a key 104 extending from the hydraulic sleeve 74 to a corresponding keyway 106 formed along the exterior of the body 66. The key 104 and corresponding keyway 106 allow limited longitudinal movement of the hydraulic sleeve 74 relative to the body 66 while preventing relative rotational movement between the hydraulic sleeve 74 and the body 66. The key 104 may be used to prevent relative rotational movement while allowing for the desired longitudinal movement.
It should be noted that shear pins 108 may be used to longitudinally secure hydraulic sleeve 74 on a temporary basis. In the illustrated embodiment, shear pins 108 longitudinally secure the hydraulic sleeve 74 to a suitable liner hanger body 110 to retain the hydraulic sleeve 74 during downhole run-in and prior to setting of the liner hanger slips 70. As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the shear pin 108 has been sheared and the hydraulic sleeve 74 is driven longitudinally relative to the body 66 by hydraulic force applied to the port 88.
Wherein the liner hanger body 110 is threadably connected to the body 66, the body 110 can be considered to be part of the body 66.
When the liner hanging slips 70 are secured to the surrounding casing 28, the liner hanging mechanism 22 is further actuated, forming a metal-to-metal seal, preventing subsequent actuating fluids from passing through the ports 88. The metal-to-metal seal may be formed via a second metal seal 112, which second metal seal 112 may be deformed appropriately to isolate the port 88 and prevent further fluid flow. As shown in fig. 4, a second metal seal 112 is placed longitudinally between seal support rings 114. The second metal seal 112 and seal support ring 114 may be sized to create a radial gap (prior to deformation) that allows pressurized hydraulic fluid to flow through the ports 88 and into the sealing area 90 to drive the hydraulic sleeve 74.
The seal support ring 114 is located between a first support edge 116 of the push ring 96 and a second support edge 118 of the hydraulic sleeve 74. The second metal seal 112 is constructed of a softer material than the seal support ring 114 and/or a deformable structure that allows the second metal seal 112 to deform, bringing the second metal seal 112 into sealing engagement with the body 66 as the seal support ring 114 is urged closer by the first and second support edges 116, 118.
In the illustrated embodiment, the second metal seal 112 is selectively deformed by rotation of the body 66 relative to the hydraulic sleeve 74. As described above, hydraulic sleeve 74 is engaged with push ring 96 by threaded region 100 and rotationally fixed relative to body 66 by key 104. As body 66 rotates, key 104 causes hydraulic sleeve 74 to shear pin 102 and rotate relative to push ring 96 along the threads of threaded region 100.
The tailpipe hanging slips 70 are tightly engaged with the casing 28, preventing rotation of the slips 70 and slip holders 98, and the push ring 96 is secured to the slip holders 98 by shear pins 120, as shown in FIG. 5. Thus, push ring 96 is held against rotation as hydraulic sleeve 74 rotates relative to body 66.
This relative rotation on threaded region 100 causes hydraulic sleeve 74 to be pulled toward push ring 96 until seal carrier ring 114 is engaged by first and second carrier edges 116, 118. Continued rotation of hydraulic sleeve 74 causes seal carrier ring 114 to continue to approach until second metal seal 112 sealingly engages body 66 over port 88, thereby preventing subsequent fluid flow through port 88. Continued rotation of the hydraulic sleeve 74 forces the shear pins 120 to shear and rotationally release the push ring 96 from the slip retainer 98, as shown in FIG. 6. The axial load from the second metal seal 112 may be used to provide a permanent rotational lock of the connection between the push ring 96 and the hydraulic sleeve 74 at the threaded region 100, thereby enabling the shear pin 120 to shear. Rotation of the hydraulic sleeve 74 also brings about rotation of the push ring 96 before that, and no additional deformation of the second metal seal 112 occurs.
Body 66 may be selectively rotated by running tool 30. For example, various embodiments may use corresponding positioning on the packer body of the packer 40 and the running tool 30 to transfer torque from the body 66 to the key 104 and the hydraulic sleeve 74 while locking the push ring 96, slip retainer 98, slips 70, and corresponding liner hanger cone 72 to the casing 28. The rotational movement results in a combination of threaded regions 100 between push ring 96 and hydraulic sleeve 74. Continued rotation will cause the second metal seal 112 to deform as desired. After second metal seal 112 is deformed with body 66 to form a metal-to-metal seal, hydraulic port 88 is permanently isolated.
The first metal seal 94 comprises a coil spring 105 of flexible metal and a separate annular metal seal plate 107, the seal plate 107 overlapping at least a portion of the exterior of the coil spring 105, the metal seal 94 being enclosed within an annular recess in the hanger body 66. The coil spring 105 is helical in shape and is made of a flexible metal, but the specific type of metal and the size of the coil spring 105 depend on the distance between the body 66 and the push ring 96, the pressure required to seal, and the medium of the sealed environment, the coil spring 105 being rolled and welded together from spring layers.
The terms "first," "second," and the like, are used for distinguishing between similar objects and not for describing a particular sequential or chronological order.
The terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus/apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus/apparatus.
Thus far, the technical solution of the present utility model has been described in connection with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but it is easily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present utility model is not limited to these specific embodiments. Equivalent modifications and substitutions for related technical features may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principles of the present utility model, and such modifications and substitutions will be within the scope of the present utility model.
