Definitions
- an optional gripping assembly comprising at least one radially extendible gripping member for gripping the interior wall of the tubular patch and a mechanical means for radially extending the gripping member(s);
- the drive means for rotating the expander tool is a rotatable shaft.
- the electric motor provides rotational movement to an output shaft that is connected to the expander tool to provide rotation thereto.
- the expander tool may be hydraulically actuated via at least one hydraulic pump.
- electric power supplied to the motor may be used to operate the pump to provide pressurised fluid to the expander tool to radially extend the expander elements.
- the pressurised fluid may be used to actuate the cone displacement mechanism.
- the gtipping assembly does not rotate with the expander tool.
- the radially extendible gripping member(s) of the gripping assembly may be hydraulically actuated, as described above for the expander tool.
- the electric motor may drive a hydraulic pump thereby providing pressurised fluid to the gripping assembly to radially extend the gripping member(s).
- an upper section of the patch may be fixed in position in the wellbore by means of a plurality of mechanical dimples, for example circular shaped dimples arranged circumferentially around the tubing at the desired location, as described in Figure 16 of US 6,223,823 which is herein incorporated by reference.
- the thickness of the inner metal tube will be a function of the diameter of the wellbore and the yield and tensile strength of the metal forming the tube.
- the thickness of the inner metal tube is in the range 0.25 to 0.5 inches.
- the outer resilient sealing member is formed from an elastomeric material that is resistant to the well environment, i.e. temperature, pressure, well fluids, and the like.
- the elastomeric material is selected from rubber (for example, silicone rubber), polymers of ethylene-propylene diene monomer (EPDM), polytetrafluoroethylene, polyphenylene sulfide, and perfluoroelastomers.
- the outer resilient sealing member may be a sheath extending along substantially the entire length of the patch or may comprise at least one outer resilient sealing ring ananged at a location where it is desired to form an annular fluid-tight seal with the casing, liner or the wall of the open hole wellbore and having a length corresponding to the longitudinal length of the annular seal.
- the patch may be provided with a plurality of outer resilient sealing rings thereby allowing a plurality of annular fluid-tight seals to be formed.
- the outer resilient sealing rings have a longitudinal length of 1 to 5 inches.
- the outer resilient sealing rings are arranged at the upper and lower ends of the patch although the sealing rings may also be arranged at intervals along the patch, for example, every 0.5 to 2 feet.
