Tool, method and system for well services
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-modifiedWhat 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.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
