摘要:
A well conduit cutting and milling apparatus conveyable into and out of a well on coilable tubing using a tubing injection unit. The apparatus includes tubing or casing cutting arms which are radially extendable and retractable with respect to a cylindrical support body by pressure fluid operated pistons. The apparatus is made up of multiple end-to-end connected units including one which supports interchangeable cutting and milling arms and units which have radially extensible and retractable stabilizing arms which engage the inner wall of the tubing or casing to centralize and stabilize the apparatus during operation. The cutter and milling arms are modified for milling away a section of tubing by moving the apparatus in an upward or out of the well direction. The cutting elements are preferably cylindrical hard metal members which are supported on the arms for cutting away an end face of the tubing in a tangential direction of movement.
摘要:
A downhole cutting tool for use down along a tubing string consisting of an elongate body member having central cavity and transverse slotway and receiving drilling fluid axially therethrough. An expandable double blade is pivotally housed in the slotway while fluid actuated pistons above and below are effective to expand the blades outboard on each side and to brace the blades in operative position as the body member is rotated and the blades abrade or cut the adjacent material.

A fluid injection apparatus includes a portable base frame having a pumping mechanism and fluid container mounted thereon. A conduit connects the pumping mechanism to a spacer flange which can be interconnected between a blowout preventer and a choke manifold so that fluid can be readily injected into these two types of equipment. The apparatus and its interconnection between the blowout preventer and choke manifold provide a technique by which accumulated solid deposits within the blowout preventer can be blown back toward the well to prevent their passage into the choke manifold, thereby preventing blockage of the choke manifold. The apparatus and method of the present invention also permit fluids to be injected into the blowout preventer and choke manifold for such purposes as conducting pressure tests and for preventing freezing of the components of the blowout preventer and choke manifold.
摘要:
A hydraulic jar device for use in through-tubing drilling and fishing operations which consists of an elongate tube having an upper hammer sub, a kelly cylinder and a hydraulic cylinder with central restrictor secured therebelow. A lower sub connects to the bottom end of the hydraulic cylinder. The sliding interior components are an upper mandrel secured to an anvil sub which, in turn, is fastened to an axial plunger, all of which are slidable down within the elongate tube. A metering ring retained on the plunger interacts with the central restrictor of the hydraulic cylinder to control force effected up and down jars that occur when the mandrel strikes the hammer sub on the down stroke, and when the anvil sub strikes the hammer sub bottom on the up stroke.

The invention consists of the shape and design of plural pairs of cutter blades for use in rotary tubing tools which cutter blades have specialized shapes and cutting surfaces for performing certain specific downhole cutting operations adjacent a tubing string.
摘要:
A downhole rotary cutting tool having an elongated cylindrical body with radially expanded cutting blades that are controlled by application of selected fluid as controlled from a surface source. The cutting blades have a combined abrading/jetting capability as hardened cutting surfaces are disposed at critical points of each blade and each cutting blade is ported to provide lateral jet emissions for entry into the surrounding earth medium.
摘要:
A whipstock and method of using same wherein first and second opposing ends of the whipstock are joined by opposing back and guide surfaces and the second or upper end of the whipstock is composed of at least two surfaces, the first surface being angled so as to direct a well tool impinging thereon toward the guide surface and the second surface being angled so as to provide support for the whipstock when placed in a wellbore at an angle to the long axis of the wellbore.
摘要:
A dual blade cutter head for a rotary cutting tool which consists of two identical blades disposed in opposed position, each blade having an outer arcuate edge movable into cutting contact and having suitable hard facing affixed to the arcuate edge oriented for right-turn cutting rotation. In one form the hardface is an arcuate inlay block faced with thermally stable polycrystalline diamond.

A system for externally testing a pipe joint connection utilizes a well known oil field apparatus with minor modifications to perform an important test of the hydraulic integrity of the pipe joint. A pair of hydraulically operated blowout preventor rams are connected by means of a pipe of sufficient length to accommodate the enclosure of a pipe joint connection. The connecting pipe forming the enclosure is aligned with the pipe opening in the rams. Thus the assembly is comprised of upper and lower rams with a pipe therebetween forming a test chamber. The lower rams are inverted so that the rams are closed, the connecting pipe forms a sealed chamber. A port is provided in the connecting pipe to permit fluid under pressure to be passed into the chamber when the rams are closed about pipe being tested. The test assembly is connected by a flange below the lower ram to the wellhead. As a string of pipe is passed into the well, the pipe joint connections are positioned in the chamber, the rams are closed, and fluid pressure is applied externally to the pipe joint. Measurement of fluid pressure decay determines if a leak exists.
摘要:
An actuator for effecting bottom hole rotation consisting of an upper wash pipe having a spiral groove mandrel that is in operative association with a ball clutch assembly that is secured to the upper wash pipe. The weight placed on the actuator at the wash pipe connection is effective to drive the mandrel and ball clutch assembly through a given amount of rotation, e.g., five rotations per actuation can be applied to a selected working tool.
