Systems and methods for managing debris in a well

Abstract

Various systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for handling contaminants in a wellbore or riser. A washpipe debris trap (WPDT) traps contaminants traveling up a wellbore from a downhole location, and the WPDT may serve as an indicator for a breached screen in a downhole location. A marine riser reversing tool (MRRT) may reverse the flow of fluid between a workstring conduit and an annulus between the workstring and the wellbore such that fluid rises to the wellhead with greater velocity. A bi-directional chamber trap (BDCT) may be utilized in a wellbore operation to remove contaminants from a fluid.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device for trapping debris, comprising:
 a lower assembly having a lower screen and a check valve, wherein the lower screen is a thru-tubing screen;   an upper assembly having an upper screen and a check valve, wherein the upper screen is a thru-tubing screen, and wherein the check valve of the upper assembly is a ball check valve having a ball with a first density that is buoyant when submerged in fluid having a second density, wherein the second density is larger than the first density;   an assembly bridge formed between the lower assembly and the upper assembly; and   wherein the check valve of the lower assembly is a ball check valve that is closed when the fluid flows in a forward direction, allowing only the fluid and debris smaller than a gauge of the thru-tubing screen of the lower assembly to leave the assembly bridge, and open when the fluid flows in a reverse direction, allowing the fluid and debris to enter the assembly bridge.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the ball check valve of the upper assembly is open when the fluid flows in a forward direction, allowing the fluid and debris to enter the assembly bridge, and closed when the fluid flows in a reverse direction, allowing only the fluid and debris smaller than a gauge of the thru-tubing screen of the upper assembly to leave the assembly bridge. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the lower screen and the upper screen have a substantially similar gauge. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the upper assembly is arranged along a first axis and the fluid flows in the forward direction through upper assembly in a first direction, and the lower assembly is arranged along a second axis and the fluid flows in the forward direction through the lower assembly in a second direction. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein the first axis and the second axis are substantially parallel, and the first direction and the second direction are oriented in opposing directions. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the lower assembly, the upper assembly, and the assembly bridge, and positioned in a deck crate having predetermined dimensions. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the upper assembly is secured to the deck crate with first securing means, and the lower assembly is secured to the deck crate with second securing means. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the assembly bridge comprises:
 a first bridge sub having a first drain plug that is selectively removable from the first bridge sub to allow the removal of contents from the assembly bridge, and   a second bridge sub having a second drain plug that is selectively removable from the second bridge sub to allow removal of contents from the assembly bridge.   
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein first bridge sub interconnects to the second bridge sub, and the first and second bridge subs are configured to direct the fluid flowing in the forward direction from a first direction to a second direction.
