CASING SPEAR.
Application filed October 21, 1926. Serial No. 143,230.
My invention relates to, and has for a purpose the provision of a casing spear, which is capable of being operated from the top ot' a well to grip a casing at any point within its length in the hole and in such manner that the casing can be pulled from the hole, or the sections thereof unscrewed or screwed together, the spear being so constructed that it can be released and reset as many times as desired without removing 4 the spear from the hole for resetting, as has been necessary in devices of this character heretofore proposed.
A further purpose of my invention is the provision of a casing spear which is par* ticularly adapted, although not necessarily ior luse in wells employing the rotary method of drilling, the spear being applied to the .drill pipe and having gripping elements 2o normally inactive but capable of being rendered active to move into engagement with the casing upon the pumping of mud fluid into the drill pipe, so that upon elevation of the pipe the casing will be gripped internally and an upward pull exerted on the latter.
lf will describe only one form of casing .spear embodying my invention and will then point out the novel features thereof in claims.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 is a view showing in longitudinal vertical section one form of casing spear embodying my invention, and inserted into a well casing with the gripping elements in normal or inactive position,`
Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 and showing the gripping elements in active position `in gripping relation to the casing,
Figures 3 and 4 are horizontal sectional views taken on the lines 3 3 and 4 4 of Figures 1 and 2 respectively, and
Figure 5 is a horizontal sectional view taken on the lines 5 5 of Figure 1.
Referring specifically to the drawings, in which similar reference characters designate similar parts in each of the several views, my invention in its present embodiment comprises a body of elongated form designated generally at B and havin@r a relatively large bore at its upper end:` to
lprovide a chamber 10 communicating at its lower end with a central passage 11 extending longitudinally through the body. The body is threaded internally at its upper end to receive the end of a drill pipe P by means of which the body can be lowered into a well casing W tothe point at which it is desired to grip the casing. The body is reduced in diameter as shown at 12 and is formed with a series of concentric cams 13 of frust'ro-conical form arranged in end to end relation with the larger end of the cams downmost and confronting the smaller end of the adjacent cam.
Gripping elements designated generally at G in the present instance of elongated form and arcuate cross-section are `arranged in surrounding relation to the cams 13 and are maintained in definite spaced relation by means of guide ribs 14 extending lengthwise of the body at circumferentially spaced intervals. It will be noted that four gripping elements have been illustrated but it will be understood that a greater or less number can be used depending on the size of the device.' The gripping elements are formed on their inner eripheral portions with a series of cam sur 'aces 15 corresponding in contour and number with the cams 13 while their outer peripheral portions are formed with a multiplicity of transversely extending teeth 16.
The gripping elements are normally urged upwardly on the body B by means of a coil spring 17 interposed between a collar 18 slidably mounted' on the reduced extension 19 of the body and a second collar 20 threaded on the lower end of the extension and locked against movement by means of a nut 21 which in turn is positively maintained in definite position by a headed pin 22, extending through registering openings in the extension 19 and nut 21. The lower ends of the gripping elements are loosely received in a pocket 23 formed in the collar 18 and engage the conical' bottom 24 of the pocket. The upper ends` of the elements are beveled to provide cam` surfaces 25 and are re'ceived in the correspondingly tapered bore 26 of a sleeve 27 threaded'l on the body, the cam surfaces 25- and bore 26 cooperating to move the upper ends of the elements inwardly to the inactive or contracted position shown in Figure 1 as they are urged upwardly by the spring 17. By virtue of the conical bottom 24 the lower ends of the elements are simultaneio ously urged inwardly so that the elements will snugly engage the cams 13 to permit insertion into the casing W.
The elements are adapted to gravitate to the j active or expanded position shown in .i5 Figure 2 in engagement with the inner wall of the casing upon the pumping of mud fluid into the drill pipe P. To this end a piston K is mounted in the Chamber and is provided with a packing sleeve 28 adapted to be compressed'by a nut 29 intofluid seal-` ing engagement with the wall of the chamber. Projecting from the lower end of the piston is a rod 30 extending into the passage 11 with its lower end engaging a rectangularshaped key 31 extending transversely of the body through diametrically opposed slots 32 formed in the extension 19. The ends of the key project into diametrically opposed openings in the collar 18 and the key isl maintained against longitudinal displacement by means of pins 33 extending through the key into grooves 34 formed in the collar. It will thus be clear that any movement of the piston downwardly will cause a corre- 35 sponding downward movement to be transmitted to the collar 18 through the medium rof the rod 3() and key 31 to thus compress the spring 17 and leave the gripping elements free to gravitate and be simultaneously moved outwardly to the expanded position shown in Figure 2 by the cams'13. As clearly shown in this ligure. the downward movement of the collar 18 is limited by the abutting of tubular extensions 35 and 36 5 formed on the confronting sides of the collars 18 and 2() respectively.
To permit free circulation of the mud fluid through the body during lowering or raising of the gripping device into or out of the hole,l the lpiston K is provided with a valve 37 havinga depending stem 38 and normally urged upwardly to the open position shown in Figure 1 by a coil spring 39 received in a pocket 40 formed in the piston,
which pocket communicates through ports 41 withthe chamber 10 below the piston. It will thus be seen that the fluid will be free to circulate through the piston K, chamber l() and thence through the passage 11 intothe casing. Other ports 42 are formed lin the body to provide additional vents, while ducts 43 lead from the lower end of the chamber 10 to the interior of the sleeve 27 and ports '44 extend through the body B adjacent the lower endsof the gripping relatively large gripping surface of the eleelements to permit fluid to work between the elements and cams 13 and thus flush out any accumulation of sand or other foreign substance. J
The operation of the device is as follows:l The device is secured to the drill pipe P and lowered into the casing W to the point at which it is desired to grip the latter, the'4 gripping elements, piston, and valve 37 Occupyng the positions shown in Figure 1, which is termed in the art the set position of the spear. 'l'.he valve springs 39 is of suihcient strength to maintain the valve 37 in its open position against-the normal cir` culation pressure of the mud fluid so as to 8,0
lpermit the Huid to be circulated in the same manner as when employed in drilling operations. lVhen desiring to release the spear the pressure of the liuid is increased, thus overcomingothe tension of the spring 39vand closing the valve. The fluid now-acts upon and moves the piston K- downwardly, and through the medium of the rod 30 and key 31 t-he'c'ollan 18 is moved correspondingly downward to thereby compress the spring 17, thus permitting the gripping elements Grl to gravitate and expand into engagement with the casing W as is clearly shown in Figure 2. Withv the spear released the drill pipe P is now elevated by the usual elevating mechanism (not shown) thus causing the.cams 13 to further expand the gripping elements until the teeth 16 thereof have biting engagement with the casing to thus grip and exert an upward pull upon `the latter. The pressure upon the fluid may now be out olf as the upward pull upon the casing is sufficient to maintain the gripping elements in gripping engagement with the casing. By continuing the upward pull y upon the casing and rotating the drill pipe in .one direction or the other by the usual mechanism (not shown) casing sections may be .screwed together or unscrewd as desired. It will be noted in this coimection l that the ribs 14 function to prevent rotation of the elements on the body B during rotation of the latter by the drill pipe so' th a t the rotative movement of the bodyv will be` .transmitted through the elements yto the casing. i
To reset the spear the upward pull on the pipev P is iirst discontinued, then the pipe'is lowered slightly to free the gripping elements from the cams 13 after which the spring 17 ,due to the previous cutting oli ofthe pressure on the mud fluid, functions to return the elements and piston to the posi- `tion shown in Figure 1.
From the foregoing operation it will be 12 clear that the spear can be released and reset from the top of the well as often as desired without removing the spear from the hole.` vIt will also be noted that due to the ments G,the expansion pressure lexerted on the casing is distributed over a large area so that the liability of-burstingfthe casing during jarring operations is materially lessened.
Although I have herein lshown and de#` scribed only one form ofcasing spear embodying my invention, 1t 1s to be understood that various changes and modifications may be made herein without departing from the l spirit of the invention', and thev spirit 'and scope of the appended claims.
