Definitions
- This invention relates to an annular packer. More particularly it relates to an annular packer for use in a borehole, in which the annular packer is sealingly and movably connected to at least one of the bodies forming an annulus.
- Expandable annular packers are used to a relatively great extent for different sealing and partitioning purposes in boreholes. It is common for the annular packer to be connected to a pipe, typically a production pipe or an injection pipe, which is run into the borehole, after which the annular packer is expanded against the formation wall or against a casing.
- a pipe typically a production pipe or an injection pipe
- Annular packers may be pneumatically or hydraulically expandable, they may be swellable by means of a fluid or they may be expanded by means of fluid diffusion. If, after the annular packer has been set, operations are carried out, subjecting the pipe to temperature changes, considerable axial forces may arise in the pipe.
- An annular packer sealing against the formation wall has a relatively loose anchoring to the formation wall and may, when being moved relative to the formation wall, lose its sealing effect.
- the pipe may be provided with an expansion coupling which is arranged to absorb an axial expansion or contraction in the pipe.
- this expansion coupling is formed as a slip joint, in which a pipe body is sealingly movable within another pipe body.
- the invention has as its object to remedy or reduce at least one of the drawbacks of the prior art.
- the object is realized according to the invention through the features specified in the description below and in the following Claims.
- the invention comprises an annular packer, the annular packer being expandable in an annulus between an inner body and an outer boundary.
- the annular packer is sealingly movable along at least one of the inner body and the outer boundary.
- the inner body is formed by a pipe extending over at least part of the depth of a borehole, whereas the outer boundary is formed by the formation wall of the borehole or a casing.
- the expandable annular packer preferably comprises a sleeve encircled by an expandable material according to a technique known in itself.
- the expandable material is sealingly connected to the sleeve.
- the sleeve encircling the pipe is movable along the pipe and provided with a seal which is arranged to prevent fluid from flowing between the pipe and the sleeve.
- At least part of the sleeve prefferably be expandable in a radial direction in order further to supply pressure to the expandable material against the formation wall or against the casing.
- the radial expansion of the sleeve which may be elastic or plastic, may be effected mechanically or hydraulically in a manner known in it self.
- the annular packer may be formed without the mentioned sleeve, but with a reinforcement encircling the pipe.
- the annular packer is releasably movable on the pipe.
- the annular packer may be provided with a seal that is arranged to seal between the annular packer and the pipe.
- Figure 1 shows schematically an annular packer according to the invention, in which the annular packer has been set in a borehole, and in which the annular packer is sealingly movable along a pipe;
- Figure 2 shows the same as Figure 1, but here the sleeve of the annular packer has been expanded in order further to supply radial pressure to the annular packer against the formation wall;
- Figure 3 shows an alternative embodiment of the annular packer of Figure 1.
- the reference numeral 1 identifies an expandable annular packer including a sleeve 2 and an expandable material 4 encircling and connected to the sleeve 2.
- the expanding material 4 is formed by a swellable material, for example SBR (styrene/butadiene rubber).
- the annular packer 1 is located in an annulus 6 defined by an inner body 8 in the form of a pipe and by an outer boundary 12 in the form of the formation wall of a borehole 10.
- the annular packer 1 has been expanded and bears sealingly on the formation wall
- the sleeve 2 movably encircles the pipe 8.
- a seal 14 prevents fluid from flowing between the sleeve 2 and the pipe 8.
- the pipe 8 may move in the annular packer 1 without the sealing of the annular packer 1 against the formation wall 12 being interrupted.
- the sleeve 2 is expanded radially over part of its length in order further to supply a radial force to the expandable material 4 against the formation wall 12.
- the sleeve 2 has been replaced by a reinforcement 16 encircling the pipe 8.
- the seal 14 may be placed between the expandable material 4 and the pipe 8.
- the annular packer 1 is preferably releasably movable on the pipe 8.
