Definitions
- Screens are commonly used in tubular systems to separate particulate from fluids. Such systems are employed in the downhole completion industry to separate sand and other particulate from hydrocarbons such as oil, water and natural gas, for example. Communication across these screens can be difficult depending upon the construction of the screen itself. Screen devices that simplify communication thereacross are welcomed in the art.
- a screen device that includes a foam body having a passageway that extends longitudinally through the foam body.
- the foam body has an open cell structure such that at least two surfaces of the foam body are in fluidic communication with one another through the foam body.
- a downhole screen including a tubular having a wall with perforations therethrough and a foam body, having an open cell structure, surroundingly disposed at the tubular.
- the open cell structure provides fluidic communication between an outer surface of the foam body and an inside of the tubular.
- the foam body also has a conduit extending longitudinally therethrough.
- FIG. 1 depicts a cross-sectional view of a screen device disclosed herein;
- FIG. 2 depicts a side view of the a screen device disclosed herein with a helical conduit
- FIG. 3 depicts a partial cross-sectional view of a conduit shown in FIG. 2 with a line running therethrough;
- FIG. 4 depicts a partial cross-sectional view of an alternate conduit with a line running therethrough.
- FIG. 1 an embodiment of a screen device disclosed herein is shown generally at 10.
- the screen device 10 is shown within a wellbore 11 of an earth formation 12.
- the screen device 10 has a foam, which in one iteration is an open cell foam, body 13 that surrounds a tubular 14 positioned within a void 18 that extends longitudinally through the screen device 10.
- a line 22 is shown positioned within a conduit 26 of the screen device 10, also referred to herein as a passageway, that extends longitudinally through the screen device 10.
- an axis 27A of the void 18 is substantially parallel to an axis 27B of the conduit 26.
- Both the void 18 and the conduit 26 have perimetrically continuous walls 28 A, 28B, which may be either permeable or non-permeable to fluid.
- the foam body 13 is an open cell structured foam 31 to allow fluid to flow therethrough from an outside 29 of the screen device 10, defined by outer surface 30, to the void 18 for embodiments wherein the walls 28 A are permeable.
- the open cell structured foam 31 provides filtering of fluid passing therethrough.
- Perforations 34 in the tubular 14 allow fluid passing through the screen device 10 to flow to an inside 38 of the void 18. Once the fluid is on the inside 38 it can flow longitudinally through the tubular 14 in either direction. Fluid initially on the inside 38 can also flow out through the perforations 34, through the open cell structured foam 31 and to the outside 29.
- the conduit 26 provides an unobstructed passageway from a first end 42 of the screen device 10 to a second end 46 of the screen device 10.
- the walls 28B of the conduit 26 may be permeable so that fluid is able to pass therethrough in either direction between the open cell structured foam 31 and the conduit 26.
- An embodiment wherein the walls 28B are permeable permits treatments therethrough. For example, chemical injection for treating the open cell structured foam 31 or the earth formation 12, such as for acid treatments or corrosion inhibitor treatments.
- the anticipated treatments and environmental conditions in which the screen device 10 will be operational will influence materials used to construct the foam body 13. Additional considerations include whether or not the foam body 13 needs to be deformable or not. As such, materials contemplated for the foam body 13 include resins, polyolefins, polyurethanes, polyvinylchlorides, metals, ceramics and combinations thereof. [0013] Regardless of the material of the foam body 13, running the line 22 through the conduit 26 provides a means of communicating through the screen device 10.
- the line 22 can be one or more of several lines commonly used in downhole completion applications, such as, a hydraulic line, an electric line, a fiber optic cable and a chemical injection line, for example.
- the line 22 can be free to slide within the conduit 26 by sizing the line 22 and the conduit 26 with an annular space 54 therebetween.
- the line 22 can be fixedly attached to the conduit 26, as illustrated in Figure 3.
- One way to attach the line 22 to the conduit 26 is to surround the line 22 with a foam 58 that is radially small enough to be run into the conduit 26 prior to expansion of the foam 58 and subsequent adhesion to the walls 28B.
- the foam 58 can be compacted or fabricated to a smaller radial dimension prior to running through the conduit 26.
- the foam 58 can further be configured to expand radially in response to exposure to such things as temperature or chemical exposure, for example, that the foam 58 is anticipated to encounter once placed in application.
- attachment of the line 22 to the conduit 26 can be used to sense parameters of the screen device 10.
- use of fiber optic cable as the line 22 permits measurement of stresses encountered by the screen device 10.
