Hydraulically driven downhole self-propelling wireline tool string
摘要:
The present invention relates to a downhole self-propelling wireline tool string for being connected to and powered by a wireline for propelling a tool forward in a well and/or for providing weight on a bit while performing an operation, comprising a first downhole self-propelling wireline tool, comprising a first tool body, a first electric motor operating at a rotational speed, a first electric control unit for controlling the rotational speed of the electric motor, one first drive section, comprising a plurality of projectable arm assemblies movably connected at a first arm end with the tool body and projectable from the tool body by means of a first fluid having a first fluid pressure, and a plurality of wheels for contacting a wall of the well, each wheel comprising a hydraulic motor for rotation of the wheel to provide a self-propelling movement, and each wheel being connected with a second arm end of one of the arm assemblies, a first hydraulic pump driven by the electric motor for generation of a second fluid pressure for driving the hydraulic motor(s) rotating the wheel(s), and wherein the downhole self-propelling wireline tool string further comprises a second downhole self-propelling wireline tool, comprising a second tool body, a second electric motor operating at a rotational speed, a second electric control unit for controlling the rotational speed of the electric motor, one second drive section comprising a plurality of projectable arm assemblies movably connected at a first arm end with the tool body and projectable from the tool body by means of a first fluid having a third fluid pressure, and a plurality of wheels for contacting the wall of the well, each wheel comprising a hydraulic motor for rotation of the wheel, and each wheel being connected with a second arm end of one of the arm assemblies, at least one second hydraulic pump driven by the second electric motor for generation of a fourth fluid pressure for driving the hydraulic motor(s) rotating the wheel(s), and wherein each electric motor comprises a power-limiting unit in order to distribute a first part of the current from the wireline to power the first electric motor and a second part of the current to power the second electric motor.
