- the present application is related to the following: (1) U.S. patent application serial no. 09/454,139, attorney docket no. 25791.03.02, filed on 12/3/1999, (2) U.S. patent application serial no. 09/510,913, attorney docket no. 25791.7.02, filed on 2/23/2000, (3) U.S. patent application serial no. 09/502,350, attorney docket no. 25791.8.02, filed on 2/10/2000, (4) U.S. patent no. 6,328,113, (5) U.S. patent application serial no. 09/523,460, attorney docket no. 25791.11.02, filed on 3/10/2000, (6) U.S. patent application serial no. 09/512,895, attorney docket no.
- This invention relates generally to oil and gas exploration, and in particular to forming and repairing wellbore casings to facilitate oil and gas exploration.
- a relatively large borehole diameter is required at the upper part of the wellbore.
- Such a large borehole diameter involves increased costs due to heavy casing handling equipment, large drill bits and increased volumes of drilling fluid and drill cuttings.
- increased drilling rig time is involved due to required cement pumping, cement hardening, required equipment changes due to large variations in hole diameters drilled in the course of the well, and the large volume of cuttings drilled and removed.
- a wellbore typically traverses a number of zones within a subterranean formation.
- Wellbore casings are then formed in the wellbore by radially expanding and plastically deforming tubular members that are coupled to one another by threaded connections
- existing methods for radially expanding and plastically deforming tubular members coupled to one another by threaded connections are not always reliable and do not always produce satisfactory results.
- the threaded connections can be damaged during the radial expansion process.
- the threaded connections between adjacent tubular members, whether radially expanded or not are typically not sufficiently coupled to permit the transmission of energy through the tubular members from the surface to the downhole location. Further, the damaged threads may permit undesirable leakage between the inside of the casing and the exterior of the casing.
- the present invention is directed to overcoming one or more of the limitations of the existing procedures for forming and/or repairing wellbore casings.
- an assembly that includes a first tubular member including external threads, and a second tubular member comprising internal threads coupled to the external threads of the first tubular member. At least one of the first and second tubular members define one or more stress concentrators.
- a method for forming a wellbore casing includes positioning any one, portion, or combination, of the exemplary embodiments of the assemblies of the present application within a borehole that traverses a subterranean formation, and radially expanding and plastically deforming the assembly within the borehole.
- an apparatus that includes a wellbore that traverses a subterranean formation, and a wellbore casing positioned within and coupled to the wellbore.
- the wellbore casing is coupled to the wellbore by a process including: positioning any one, portion, or combination, of the exemplary assemblies of the present application within the wellbore, and radially expanding and plastically deforming the assembly within the wellbore.
- a system for forming a wellbore casing includes means for positioning any one, portion, or combination, of the exemplary assemblies of the present application within a borehole that traverses a subterranean formation, and means for radially expanding and plastically deforming the assembly within the borehole.
- a method of providing a fluid tight seal between a pair of overlapping tubular members includes forming one or more stress concentrators within at least one of the tubular members, and radially expanding and plastically deforming the tubular members.
- FIG. 1 is a fragmentary cross-sectional illustration of a first tubular threadably coupled to a second tubular.
- Fig.2 is a fragmentary cross-sectional illustration of a first tubular threadably coupled to a second tubular.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a first tubular member 10 that defines a passage 10a that includes a pin member 12 that includes stress concentration grooves, 14a and 14b, formed in the internal surface of the pin member, and external threads 16 that engage internal threads 18 of a box member 20 of a second tubular member 22 that defines a passage 22a.
- Stress concentration grooves, 24a and 24b are formed in the external surface of the box member 20 of the second tubular member, and an external sleeve 26 is coupled to and overlaps with the ends of the first and second tubular members, 10 and 22.
- the first tubular member 10, the second tubular member 22, and the external sleeve 26 may be radially expanded and plastically deformed using any number of conventional methods and apparatus and/or as disclosed in one or more of the following: (1) U.S. patent application serial no. 09/454,139, attorney docket no. 25791.03.02, filed on 12/3/1999, (2) U.S. patent application serial no. 09/510,913, attorney docket no. 25791.7.02, filed on 2/23/2000, (3) U.S. patent application serial no. 09/502,350, attorney docket no. 25791.8.02, filed on 2/10/2000, (4) U.S. patent no. 6,328,113, (5) U.S. patent application serial no.
- the stress concentration grooves, 14a, 14b, 24a, and 24b concentrate compressive stresses onto the threads, 16 and 18, of the pin and box members, 12 and 20, of the first and second tubular members to drive the threads together to thereby provide a fluid tight seal between the threads of the pin and box members of the first and second tubular members upon the completion of the radial expansion and plastic deformation.
- Fig. 2 is an illustration of another illustrative embodiment.
- An assembly has been described that includes a first tubular member including external threads, and a second tubular member comprising internal threads coupled to the external threads of the first tubular member. At least one of the first and second tubular members define one or more stress concentrators. In an exemplary embodiment, the assembly further comprises an external sleeve coupled to and overlapping with the ends of the first and second tubular members. In an exemplary embodiment, one or more of the stress concentrators comprise surface grooves formed in the surfaces of at least one of the first and second tubular members. In an exemplary embodiment, the stress concentrators are defined above the internal and external threads of the first and second tubular members.
- a method for forming a wellbore casing includes positioning any one, portion, or combination, of the exemplary embodiments of the assemblies of the present application within a borehole that traverses a subterranean formation, and radially expanding and plastically deforming the assembly within the borehole.
- An apparatus has been described that includes a wellbore that traverses a subterranean formation, and a wellbore casing positioned within and coupled to the wellbore.
- the wellbore casing is coupled to the wellbore by a process including: positioning any one, portion, or combination, of the exemplary assemblies of the present application within the wellbore, and radially expanding and plastically deforming the assembly within the wellbore.
