摘要:
Method and apparatus are provided for cementing wells and preventing fluid entry into the wellbore before the cement cures and increasing radial stress in the cement. Impacts or vibrations are applied to the casing during the time that the cement is curing. The sources of the impacts or vibration are placed in the casing during displacement of the cement slurry and are mechanically coupled to the inside wall of the easing. The sources are later withdrawn from the casing.

The invention relates to an apparatus employing pressure transients for transporting fluids comprising at least one partly enclosed space (201,301,501,601,606,701,1101,1201), at least one body (202,302,502,602,607,702,1102,1202) in said at least one partly enclosed space, where said at least one body is movable relatively to the interior of said at least one partly enclosed space, at least one opening (204,205,304,404,504,604,605,704,705,1104, 1204) in said at least one enclosed space which allows a fluid to flow alternately in the direction into and out of said at least one partly enclosed space, at least one first conduit (211,311,411,511,513,611,711,1111,1211) and at least one second conduit (212, 312,412,512,514,612,712,1112,1212) in fluid communication with at least one of said at least one opening, at least one first reservoir (231.331.431.531.533.631.731.1131.1231) and at least one second reservoir (232.332.432.532.534.632.732.1132.1232) connected to said at least one first conduit and at least one second conduit respectively, at least one first mechanical unit (221.321.421.521.523.621.721.1121.1221) and at least one second mechanical unit (222.322.422.522.524.622.722.1122.1222) in said at least one first conduit and at least one second conduit respectively, where said at least one first mechanical unit only allows flow in said at least one first conduits from said at least one first reservoir and towards said at least one partly enclosed space, and said at least one second mechanical unit only allows flow in said at least one second conduit in the direction from said at least one partly enclosed space and towards said at least one second reservoir. The invention is further characterized in that at least one positive pressure transient is generated by at least one object, with nonzero momentum, colliding with said at least one body, where at least part of said at least one positive pressure transient produces flow of fluid out of said at least one partly enclosed space through said at least one second mechanical unit and into said at least one second reservoir, and at least one negative pressure transient is generated in said at least one partly enclosed space, where said at least one negative pressure transient, together with the resulting at least one hydrostatic head between at least one of said at least one first reservoirs and at least one of said at least one partly enclosed space, produce flow of fluid out of said at least one first reservoir through said at least one first mechanical unit and into said at least one partly enclosed space.

The invention is directed to a hydraulic actuated pump system which lifts production fluids and re-circulating hydraulic fluid from a petroleum well. Additives may be added to the hydraulic fluid to apply direct chemical treatment to the production formation. A sonic stimulator may be included to stimulate and produce the same liquids from the horizontal section of the well.
摘要:
Method and apparatus are provided for cementing wells and preventing fluid entry into the wellbore before the cement cures and increasing radial stress in the cured cement. Impacts or vibrations are applied to the casing during the time that the cement is curing. The source or sources of the impacts or vibration are placed in the casing during displacement of the cement slurry or soon after placement and are mechanically coupled to the inside wall of the casing. The sources may later be withdrawn from the casing or expendable sources may be used.
摘要:
During a surge-pulsing operation in a borehole (e.g an oil-well undergoing remediation) liquid is stored under pressure upstream of a valve, and then released through the valve suddenly enough to create a seismic wave, which propagates into the formation around the borehole, and assists the surge-pulsing to improve the conductivity and liquid-injectability of the formation. The downhole valve achieves the rapid-opening requirement by virtue of its geometrical layout, as dictated by the strictures of the downhole environment.

Vibrational apparatus capable of providing a vibrational output, said apparatus comprising or including an assembly having a shuttle capable of shuttling between complementary structures, at least one of which complementary structures provides the vibrational output,the arrangement being characterised in that there is a drive to rotate the shuttle and there are magnetic interactions between the rotating shuttle and the complementary structures such that interactions with each complementary structure, and the phasing of the complementary structures relative to the shuttle, alternating magnetic results in the shuttling movement of the shuttle.
摘要:
When injecting liquids into the ground, imposing pulses on the injected liquid is effective to increase penetration and saturation of the ground. Imposing suckback onto the pulses is effective to make the liquid in the ground behave as a coherent unitary body, surging out and back each pulse, and to super-saturate the ground. The tool includes a suckback-chamber, which is timed to open to the ground formation just as the pulse-valve closes. A biasser (e.g a spring) drives the chamber open and sucks in some of the liquid from the ground. The chamber is then emptied, back to the ground, by the rising pressure as the pulsing tool is recharged. The suckback-chamber can be added to any type of pulsing tool.
摘要:
A system and method for performing a fracture operation on a well site having a subterranean formation with a reservoir therein is provided. The method involves measuring at least one seismic wave before and after stimulating the subterranean formation, comparing the seismic waves measured before the stimulation of the subterranean formation to the seismic waves measured after stimulation of the subterranean formation, and determining at least one fracture parameter of the subterranean formation from the compared seismic waves.
摘要:
The invention provides a system, method and downhole tool for stimulating a borehole of wells in reservoir. The invention allows a user to determine the type of stimulation adequate to promote production in a reservoir, and apply one or more treatments to each individual well by activating one or more modules comprised in the downhole tools. Furthermore, the tool comprises sensors that collect information in real-time of the state of the reservoir. The data collected is processed and newly acquired data is compared with previously acquired data to assess the development of production and further plan treatment strategies to optimize production.
摘要:
The invention provides an apparatus and method for stimulating a borehole of a well. The invention provides an apparatus that generates low-frequency seismic type elastic waves that propagate to the geologic formation and in order to enhance the movement of fluids in the geologic formation toward a well. The apparatus may operate automatically driven by a power source that may be located on the ground surface. The regime of operation may be determined by user input. Operation of the apparatus may carried out while production of a natural resource is ongoing.
