Abstract

Smart shuttles are used to complete oil and gas wells.
Following drilling operations into a geological formation, a steel pipe is disposed in the wellbore. The steel pipe may be a standard casing installed into the wellbore using typical industry practices. Alternatively, the steel pipe may be a drill string attached to a rotary drill bit that is to remain in the wellbore following completion during so-called "one-pass drilling operations". Using typical procedures in the industry, the well is "completed" by placing into the steel pipe various standard completion devices, many of which are conveyed into place using the drilling rig. Instead, with this invention, smart shuttles are used to convey into the steel pipe the various smart completion devices necessary to complete the oil and gas well. Smart shuttles may be attached to a wireline, to a coiled tubing, or to a wireline installed within coiled tubing. Of particular interest is a wireline conveyed smart shuttle that possesses an electrically operated internal pump that pumps fluid from below the shuttle, to above the shuttle, that in turn causes the smart shuttle to "pump itself down" and into a horizontal wellbore. Similar comments apply to coiled tubing conveyed smart shuttles.
The smart shuttles therefore allow the drilling rig to be used for its most fundamental purpose: to drill holes into the earth. Using smart shuttles reduces the cost, complexity, and the number of steps to drill and complete oil and gas wells.

Claims (5)

  1. Claim 1. A method of producing hydrocarbons from a wellbore in a subterranean geological formation using at least the following steps:

    (a) drilling a borehole into the earth with a rotary drill bit attached to a drill pipe;

    (b) attaching at least one smart completion means to a wireline conveyed smart shuttle means at the surface of the earth, whereby said smart shuttle means has retrieval and installation means for attachment of said smart completion means;

    (c) conveying into the drill pipe said smart completion means attached to said smart shuttle means;

    (d) releasing said smart completion means from said smart shuttle means at a predetermined depth and installing the smart completion means in the drill pipe at said depth;

    (e) returning said smart shuttle means to the surface of the earth; and (f) producing hydrocarbons from said drill pipe with smart completion means installed in said drill pipe at said predetermined depth.
  2. Claim 2. A method of producing hydrocarbons from within a pipe that is located within a borehole in a geological formation in the earth comprising at least the following steps:

    (a) attaching at least one smart completion means to a smart shuttle means at the surface of the earth;

    (b) conveying into the pipe said smart completion means attached to said smart shuttle means;

    (c) releasing said smart completion means from said smart shuttle means at a predetermined depth and installing the smart completion means in the pipe at said depth;

    (d) returning said smart shuttle means to the surface of the earth; and (e) producing hydrocarbons from the pipe with said smart completion means installed in said pipe at said predetermined depth;
    whereby said smart shuttle means possesses at least one electronics system module;
    whereby said electronics system module possesses electronics module means having at least one electronic component; and whereby said electronics module means is at least one of the following: a depth measurement means, an orientational information measurement means, a power source means, a sensor measurement means, a command receiver means from surface, an information transmission means to surface, a processor means, a computer means, a means for data storage, a means for nonvolatile data storage, a recording means, a read only memory means, an electronic controller means, an actuator means, a standard depth control measurement means, or a geophysical measurement means.
  3. Claim 3. The method in Claim 2 wherein the smart shuttle means is a one of the following:

    (a) a wireline conveyed smart shuttle means (b) a tubing with wireline conveyed smart shuttle means
  4. Claim 4. The method in Claim 3 wherein the pipe located within said borehole is at least one of the following:

    (a) a drill string (b) a casing string (c) a drill string with retrievable drill bit removed (d) a casing string with retrievable drill bit removed (e) any steel pipe (f) any metallic pipe (g) any pipe made of any material (h) any liner (i) any tubing
  5. Claim 5. The method in Claim 3 whereby the wireline conveyed smart shuttle means that is deployed within the pipe possesses lateral sealing means and also possesses internal pump means that pumps fluid from a first side of said shuttle means to a second side of said shuttle means to cause the shuttle means to move in the pipe.
