    摘要: An auger gravel pack screen or other wellbore device is driven by a workstring which includes a torque-limiting device interposed therein to limit the maximum torque exerted on the screen during augering into a gravel packing in a well bore. The torque-limiting device includes driving and driven mandrels with removable shear pin support parts connected to the mandrels, respectively, and supporting plural shear pins through which driving torque is exerted on the device. An alternate embodiment includes a slip clutch with cooperating lobed clutch members. An axially translatable nut is disposed in a fluid-filled chamber between the mandrels and is operable to permit controlled rotation of the mandrels relative to each other when the limit torque is exceeded to absorb torsional deflection energy built up in the workstring without damaging the workstring or the gravel pack screen.

    摘要: Fluid leakage from a crack or other leakage point and other vibration-generating events in pipes and conduits may be located and analyzed by sensing axial and torsional vibrations and pressure fluctuations created by such events by placing accelerometers and/or strain gauges and pressure sensors on the conduit at selected points. The location of the event may be determined by comparing the travel time of selected pairs of signals such as axial propagated signals as compared with torsional propagated signals as a result in the difference of the acoustic wave speed of axial versus torsional waves. Cross correlation and deconvolution processes are carried out on the measured signals to determine differential signal arrival times at the sensors and to eliminate pipe response signals. An apparatus having axial and torsional vibration sensing accelerometers thereon includes mechanism for clamping the apparatus to the inside wall of the tubing or pipe and sensing the vibratory output signals of the accelerometers to determine the nature of and location of the vibration inducing event.

    摘要: A gravel pack screen assembly includes a bit or sub having a flow passage which may accept a wash pipe. The wash pipe may be inserted past a flapper-type closure member which moves to a closed position upon withdrawal of the wash pipe after completion of the installation of the gravel pack assembly. The closure member can be formed of a porous material to permit the flow of liquid through the bit or sub flow passage into the interior of the gravel pack screen but to prevent flow of gravel packing or produced sand into the interior of the screen. The closure member may serve as a backup to a conventional one-way valve and permit additional gravel pack material to be placed in the flow passage upon completion of the gravel pack installation and in the event of early or late failure of the one-way valve.

    摘要: A sand control screen is installed in a well by interposing the screen in a drillstring having a retrievable bit and drive motor. The screen is drilled into place with the distal end of the drillstring and remains in the wellbore. The drillstring may be disconnected from a bottom hole assembly comprising the screen and the distal end of the drillstring and replaced by a tubing string having a packer or other external seal member interposed therein for sealing one portion of the wellbore from another. The sand control screen has a basepipe with plural apertures temporarily closed plugs which are threadedly or force-fit in the apertures. The plugs may be formed of a meltable or dissolvable fiber reinforced wax, for example, or an active metal which may be dissolved by an acid or caustic solution. The screen may also include a temporary plugging medium such as wax in the interstices of the screen sleeve to prevent accumulation of drilling fluid solids during insertion in the wellbore.

    摘要: A fluid flow measuring or so-called production logging instrument for fluids produced in a well includes an inflatable packer for forming a seal in the wellbore to require diversion of wellbore fluid through a passage formed in the instrument whereby fluid flow rate and other fluid properties may be measured. The inflatable packer receives pressure fluid from the tubing string and may be remotely controlled to inflate and deflate, at will, through signals conducted from the surface to the instrument by way of a cable extending through the tubing string. The instrument includes a main wellbore fluid flow passage in which a shutoff valve is disposed for controlling the flow of fluid through the passage and which may be automatically closed or opened in response to actuation of the packer seal.
