    摘要: Setting mechanisms for downhole tools are described that take advantage of hydrostatic pressure in the wellbore which is harnessed to set a tool after exposure to well fluids for a given time or temperature defeats a lock and allows hydrostatic forces to trigger the setting of the tool. Alternatively, some other biasing source is released to set the downhole tool after exposure to well fluids for a time or a temperature and time defeats a lock and allows the biasing source to set the tool. While applications to packers are preferred, other downhole tools can be set in his manner removing the need for an inner string, dropping a ball on a seat or pressurizing the wellbore to achieve the setting of the downhole tool.

    摘要: A packer assembly features one or more elements that preferably swell when in contact with well fluids and have a feature in them that responds to an applied load in a given direction by retaining such a boost force with a locking mechanism. A single element can have two such mechanisms that respond to applied forces from opposed directions. Friction force for adhering the element to the mandrel is enhanced with surface treatments between them that still allow the locking mechanisms to operate.

    摘要: Preformed ribs are held closely to the swelling element and then are allowed to assume an expanded position to capture the ends of the swelling element. Many variations are possible one of which is retaining the ribs in a run in position with a band that releases by interaction with well fluid. In another embodiment the ribs are of a shape memory material and go to the enlarged state after a time and exposure to well fluids. The swelling action of the element could urge the ribs to the expanded position. Alternatively, a retractable sleeve can be actuated after a delay using a piston and a sealed compartment where a material must dissolve or otherwise go away before the piston can stroke to remove a retainer from ribs that can then move out.

    摘要: A setting mechanism is made to respond to hydrostatic pressure. Upon reaching a predetermined depth corresponding to a given pressure, a pilot piston is shifted to allow well fluids to bypass a first set of piston seals and reach a second set. A shear pin that held the pilot piston in position is broken as the hydrostatic pressure increases with greater depth attained. However, the shifting of the pilot piston does not cause the main piston in the assembly to set the downhole tool. The action of the well fluids on the secondary seal set on the pilot piston eventually fail the second seal set allowing hydrostatic pressure to bypass them and actuate the main piston that will set the downhole tool. Raising the tool from the wellbore allows the spring acting on the pilot piston to seal in a bore to isolate hydrostatic pressure from the operating piston.

    摘要: A collet assembly has a housing and the collets disposed on flexible fingers connected to the housing at their opposed ends. A surrounding landing sleeve stops the assembly so that collets are aligned with a recess in a landing collar that is part of a surrounding tubing string. Once set the landing sleeve transmits compressive loads so that compressive stress essentially bypasses the finger structure supporting the collets. The fingers are initially tapered toward a longitudinal axis so that when internally supported they assume an aligned orientation to the housing axis to allow greater tensile loading and to provide a retraction force when the housing is to be removed after the collet support is removed.

    摘要: A flapper type downhole valve is opened by flow against the flapper. The flapper and the housing contain magnets that hold the flapper open after it has been opened by flow to keep the flapper from chattering from the flow going past it. The strength of the force is not sufficient to hold the flapper open against a torsion spring on a pivot pin, when there is no flow through the valve. The valve can still be held in the locked open position with no flow through the housing by pressurizing the surrounding annulus to position another magnet to increase the holding force to a level greater than the force of the torsion spring. The additional magnet is spring biased so that upon removal of annulus pressure it shifts to allow the flapper to close. Alternative designs with and without a flow tube are possible. Fixed or movable restrictions can be associated with the flow tube to create a force to shift it to open a flapper with flow into the well.
