Abstract

An oilfield tool, method and system are provided to run casing and cement the casing in place. The oilfield tool includes a casing running tool, a dynamic device launching tool, and a swivel adapted to engage a fluid supply line. The method includes configuring an oilfield tool, running casing into a borehole using the oilfield tool, and cementing the casing into the borehole using the oilfield tool. The system includes an oilfield tool that includes a casing running tool, a side entry dynamic device launcher connected to the casing running tool and adapted to launch dynamic devices, and a swivel connected to the side entry dynamic device launcher and comprising a fluid supply interface. In addition, the system includes a sealant supply device, and a borehole fluid supply device.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An oilfield tool comprising:
 a casing running tool adapted to run casing into a borehole;   a dynamic device launching tool adapted to launch dynamic devices and coupled to the casing running tool and swivel;   a swivel adapted to engage a fluid supply line;   wherein the oilfield tool is utilized to run the casing and cement the casing into the borehole without modifying the oilfield tool configuration;   wherein the dynamic device traverses through the casing running tool and alters a circumferential configuration to engage an inner surface of the casing, separating a sealant provided via the fluid supply line from other borehole fluids.   
     
     
         2 . The oilfield tool of  claim 1  wherein the dynamic device launching tool comprises a side entry dynamic device launcher. 
     
     
         3 . The oilfield tool of  claim 1  wherein the dynamic device launching tool comprises a side entry dynamic device launcher comprising two or more launching portals. 
     
     
         4 . The oilfield tool of  claim 1  wherein the dynamic device launching tool comprises an in-line launcher. 
     
     
         5 . The oilfield tool of  claim 1  wherein the dynamic devices comprise expandable plugs or darts that adapt to engage the inner surface of the casing. 
     
     
         6 . The oilfield tool of  claim 1  wherein the dynamic device launching tool is located above the casing running tool. 
     
     
         7 . The oilfield tool of  claim 1  wherein the other borehole fluids comprise mud. 
     
     
         8 . The oilfield tool of  claim 1  wherein the swivel comprises additional operational interfaces for operating the dynamic device launching tool. 
     
     
         9 . A method for oilfield borehole preparation comprising:
 configuring an oilfield tool comprising:
 a casing running tool; 
 a dynamic device launching tool mounted above the casing running tool and adapted to launch dynamic devices; 
 a swivel adapted to engage a fluid supply; 
   running casing into a borehole using the oilfield tool;   cementing the casing into the borehole using the oilfield tool;   wherein the dynamic devices traverse via the casing running tool and separates a sealant from other borehole fluids.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9  wherein running the casing further comprises making up the casing until a desired depth is reached. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9  further comprising:
 manipulating the casing after running the casing into the borehole; 
 wherein manipulating the casing comprises:
 circulating the casing; 
 reciprocating the casing; or 
 rotating the casing. 
 
 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9  wherein cementing the casing further comprises:
 launching a first dynamic device via the dynamic device launching tool; 
 introducing the sealant via the swivel; 
 launching a second dynamic device via the dynamic device launching tool. 
 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 9  further comprising:
 performing a casing pressure test after cementing. 
 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 9  wherein the dynamic device launching tool comprises a side entry dynamic device launcher. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 9  wherein the dynamic devices have expandable circumferential structures configured to expand to engage an inner surface of the casing. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 9  wherein the dynamic device launching tool is operated via operational interfaces included in the swivel. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 9  wherein the dynamic device launching tool comprises two or more launch portals. 
     
     
         18 . An oilfield system for running and cementing casing comprising:
 an oilfield tool comprising:
 a casing running tool; 
 a side entry dynamic device launcher coupled to the casing running tool and swivel and adapted to launch dynamic devices; 
 a swivel comprising a fluid supply interface; 
   a sealant supply device;   a borehole fluid supply device;   wherein the oilfield system is configured to run casing into a borehole;   wherein a sealant is introduced from the sealant supply device via the fluid supply interface following a first dynamic device traversing the casing running tool and subsequently engaging an inner circumference of the casing;   wherein a borehole fluid is introduced from the borehole fluid supply device via the fluid supply interface following a second dynamic device traversing the casing running tool and subsequently engaging an inner circumference of the casing; and   wherein the first dynamic device is ruptured, providing sealant to the annulus surrounding the casing.   
     
     
         19 . The oilfield system of  claim 18  wherein the fluid supply interface comprises two or more controllable fluid inlets. 
     
     
         20 . The oilfield system of  claim 18  wherein the side entry dynamic device launcher comprises two or more launch portals.
