Description

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

Aspects of the disclosure relate to wireline activities used in hydrocarbon recovery operations. More specifically, aspects of the disclosure relate to a wireline powered jarring device for hydrocarbon recovery operations.

BACKGROUND

Hydrocarbon reservoirs are becoming increasingly smaller and more challenging to access. This trend necessitates continuous exploration and adaptation to recover hydrocarbons efficiently. Researchers and engineers work tirelessly to develop novel techniques that can unlock these precious resources.

Downhole operations heavily rely on cables for data transmission, power supply and support of downhole equipment. Unfortunately, these cables often suffer damage during use. When cables become compromised, work stoppages occur as the damage is either repaired or the damaged cable is replaced. The primary culprit leading to such damage is the existence of jarring events. These jarring events are often used to free stuck components within the wellbore. These events, necessary for operational success, may stretch the cable or harm its protective cladding. In light of the potential damage, jarring events are conducted infrequently. Although infrequent, these jarring events are necessary from time to time.

Conventional production activities prioritize avoiding cable stretching or damage. This cautious approach; however, sometimes leads to cables being improperly sized for specific projects. Balancing cable robustness with operational requirements becomes critical. Engineers must strike a delicate balance to ensure cables withstand the rigors of downhole operations while not being too heavy for the intended purpose. There is a desire among field engineering staff to use the lightest cable possible to enhance field operational speed.

To address cable damage, cables must be designed to withstand jarring events without compromising their integrity. Factors like tensile strength, flexibility, and resistance to abrasion play a crucial role. Properly engineered cables minimize downtime, enhance efficiency, and reduce the need for frequent replacements.

Beyond damage prevention, cost-effective hydrocarbon recovery methods are desired. Investing in durable cables that withstand jarring events contributes to overall project costs. It is therefore more economical to use standard cables and prevent these cables from becoming damaged during operations. These solutions optimize resource utilization and reduce operational costs.

Faster production of hydrocarbons from fields is essential for meeting energy demands. Well-designed cables facilitate rapid data transmission and power delivery, ultimately enhancing productivity. Speedier recovery processes lead to optimized resource utilization and increased output.

Finally, safety remains paramount. Conducting downhole wellbore activities safely ensures both operational success and personnel well-being. Proper cable management, preventive maintenance, and adherence to safety protocols are non-negotiable. Further advantages are provided by minimizing wellbore “rework” or expensive “fishing” procedures to retail stuck components.

There is a need to provide an apparatus and methods that are easier to operate than conventional apparatus and methods to prevent cable damage. These apparatus and methods may utilize standardized wireline, limiting specialized equipment and allowing for more interchangeable parts in different wellbores.

There is a further need to provide apparatus and methods that do not have the drawbacks discussed above, namely overstressed cables, wellbore rework and the use of specialized arrangements.

There is a still further need to reduce economic costs associated with operations and apparatus described above with conventional tools. The reduction in economic costs may be derived from the use of standardized components within wellbores. Reduced economic costs may also be achieved by providing methods and apparatus that are not complicated in use or construction.

There is a still further need to provide a method for jarring equipment in a downhole environment that does not compromise the structural integrity of the cables yet also enhances downhole operations by quickly addressing stuck downhole components in subterranean wellbores.

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method and arrangement for creating a jarring effect on a downhole device. From time to time, downhole devices become lodged within wellbores. Accumulation of sand, grit, rock, and other materials may bind downhole devices to the inner wall of the wellbore. During extraction of the downhole device, the binding may be of such significance that excessive pulling on the wireline may damage the armor or other components of the wireline. It is therefore of great importance to limit the overstressing of wireline components when these unfortunate events occur. Embodiments allow the use of standardized wireline or cables to dislodge the stuck downhole device. The method embodiments presented allow for a simplistic method for dislodging the device that does not require specialized training by field workers.

Referring to FIG. 1A, a cross-section of an arrangement 100 to create a jarring action on a downhole tool is illustrated. The arrangement 100 has an actuator 102 that is attached to a latching mechanism 104. The latching mechanism is attached to a perforated housing 106. In FIG. 1A, a weight 108 is lowered compared to the actuator 102. The arrangement 100 is located above a downhole tool, 110, that is stuck within a wellbore. Referring to FIG. 1B, the arrangement 100 is lowered with the latching mechanism 104 connecting to the weight 108. In FIG. 1C, the arrangement 100 is pulled up, consequently pulling up the weight 108, thereby storing potential energy within the arrangement 100. In FIG. 1D, the weight 108 may be dropped, as shown by the accompanying arrow, thereby causing a jarring action.

Referring to FIG. 2A, a cross-sectional view of switchable magnets 200 used in embodiments of the disclosure are presented. The magnets 200 are used, in one embodiment, within the latching mechanism 104 of FIG. 1. Such a position is defined as position A or activated. In FIG. 2A, two neodymium magnets 200 are presented with north pole portions of the magnets being placed vertically above corresponding south pole portions. In the position, a strong magnetic field is generated, thereby allowing for attraction of metallic material 202.

Referring to FIG. 2B, north/south positions for one of the magnets has been changed. This position is defined as Position B, or deactivated. In this position, the metallic material 202 is not attracted to the magnets 200 as the magnetic fields of the two magnets cancel each other out. The position of the magnets 200 may be performed through various means, such as having one set of magnets 200 that is rotatable. Although shown as a pair of magnets 200, any number of pairs may be used to have greater actuation capability. In embodiments, power may be provided to the magnets 200 through the wireline. Signal positioning for the magnets 200 may also be provided through wireline or wireless communication.

Referring to FIGS. 3A, 3B, and 3C, differing positions of the latching mechanism 104 of FIG. 1 are shown. The cross-section of the latching mechanism 104 presents a solenoid 302, a collet 304, a spring catch 306, spring 308, a rod 310, and weight 108. The solenoid 302, through electrification, provides for positioning of the rod 310 within the solenoid 302. In embodiments, the solenoid 302 may be configured to have the rod 310 achieve a retracted or a free position. In FIG. 3A, the solenoid 302 is configured such that the rod 310 is in an inserted position. In this position, the rod 310 insertion within the spring catch 306 allows for the spring 308 to be retained within the spring catch 306 as the diameter of the rod 310 causes the diameter of the spring 308 to expand, thereby allowing the outer surface of the spring to be captured by the spring catch 306. The precise machining of the collet 304 allows for stepwise movement of the spring 308 within the spring catch 306. In embodiments, the weight 108 may be of a streamlined design such that frictional forces from the entraining fluid are minimized, thereby delivering maximum possible energy to the stuck downhole device.

Referring to FIG. 3B, the rod 310 is withdrawn from the collet 304 at the top of the drop cycle for the weight 108. With the rod being withdrawn from the collet 304, the spring 308 does not catch within the spring catch 306.

Referring to FIG. 3C, the weight drops as the spring 308 does not catch within the spring catch 306 within the collet. This causes the jarring action desired, as the potential energy stored becomes kinetic energy that is imparted into the stuck downhole component.

Referring to FIG. 4A, the overall arrangement 100 is illustrated in operation. At the start of the cycle, the magnets of FIG. 2 are positioned directly below a motor 402 that is provided electrical energy through the wireline. The motor 402 has the ability to slide the arrangement 100 up and down on the wireline. The device to be jarred 404 is located below the arrangement 100. The motor 402 is actuated and the arrangement 100 descends, as shown in FIG. 4B, and is placed upon the top of the device to be jarred 404. In FIG. 4C, the magnet 200 is actuated, thereby causing attraction between the magnet and the weight 108. Lifting of the weight 108 within the arrangement 100 is accomplished through actuation of the motor 402, thereby storing potential energy within the arrangement 100. As will be understood, using the motor 402 to lift the weight 108 prevents overstressing the supporting wireline as the motor 402 is used to gather potential energy for striking the device to be jarred 404 rather than using excessive tension on the wireline. In other embodiments, a winch from the surface may be used to raise the overall arrangement. Referring to FIG. 4D, the magnet 200 is placed in Position B, deactivated, and attraction between the magnet 200 and the weight 108 is minimized. Gravity causes the weight 108 to fall and strike the device to be jarred 404, thus loosening the device. In embodiments, a housing may be used to confine the weight 108 during lifting activities and jarring/striking activities. The housing 106 may be configured with holes to allow for pressure equalization during periods of the weight dropping through downhole fluid prior to a strike. As will be understood, an electrical system (deleted for clarity of view) is provided to supply electricity to the magnet 200, the motor 402, the solenoid 302 (deleted for clarity of view) and the actuator 102 (deleted for clarity of view). This electrical energy may be supplied, in one embodiment, through wireline or a cable. In other embodiments, a separate battery may accompany the arrangement 100 to provide the needed energy. Computing devices may also accompany the arrangement to allow for signal communication between the surface and the arrangement 100. Such computing devices may incorporate sensors to allow surface-based engineers the ability to determine the state of actuation of the components of the arrangement.

Referring to FIG. 5, a method 500 pertaining to one example embodiment of the disclosure is presented. The method may comprise, at 502, running a device downhole with/on wireline. The device may be a latching mechanism with jarring device. The method may also comprise, at 504, setting a device weight on a device to be jarred. As will be understood, a device that is to be jarred may include a device that is temporarily stuck within the wellbore. At 506, the method continues with coupling the weight to the latching mechanism. At 508, the method continues further with activating (turning on) an actuator. In embodiments, the turning on of the actuator may be performed in a timed fashion or a signal may be sent from the surface to the actuator to initiate actuation. With the actuator in the “on” position, successive method steps may be performed.

After step 508, the method continues at 510 with pulling the device up. This step elevates the internal weight preparing for release and initiation of the jarring motion. After 510, the actuator is placed into the off position at 512. The method continues with releasing the weight at 514, thereby causing the jarring/hammering action to loosen the stuck downhole component. After 512, it may be determined that the downhole component is not loosened. If it is not loosened, the method 500 may be repeated again from step 504 for successive times until the downhole device is loosened. Once loosened, the downhole device may be withdrawn from the wellbore or may be lowered past the point of binding to accomplish needed downhole testing or methods.
