Definitions
- This invention relates to an expandable reamer shoe which can be used to drift and ream drilled well bores, as are typically used in oil and gas production.
- Underreamers are comprised of a plurality of expandable arms which can move between a closed position and an open position. The underreamer can be passed through the casing, behind the pilot bit when the underreamer is closed. After passing through the casing the underreamer can be opened in order to enlarge the hole below the casing.
- underreamers are not drillable, that is they can only be used when there is a certainty that further sections of the bore will not be drilled, as the subsequent drill bit or casing drill shoe would have to pass through the underreamer in order to advance.
- This is extremely difficult as underreamers are required to ream and remove hard rock material and typically comprise hard, resilient materials such as Tungsten Carbide or steel. Drilling through an in-place underreamer may result in damaging the drill bit or the casing drill shoe, adversely affecting the efficiency of any further drilling.
- a reamer shoe for mounting on a casing string, the reamer shoe having a plurality of reaming members wherein said reamer shoe is constructed from a relatively soft drillable material, wherein the plurality of reaming members are moveable between a first and second position, and wherein the reaming members are closed in the first position and expanded in the second position.
- the expandable reamer shoe can act as a drift.
- the plurality of reaming members are in the form of blades.
- each of the blades has a hard facing applied to the outer surface.
- the reaming members move from the first closed position to the second expanded position by virtue of the movement of an activating piston.
- activating piston defines an internal bore.
- movement of the activating piston is provided by an increase in hydrostatic pressure.
- the increase in hydrostatic pressure is provided by an obstructing means within the internal bore of the activating piston.
- said obstructing means is a deformable ball or dart.
- the reaming members are fully expanded when the ball communicates with a seat formation in the internal bore.
- the ball is held inside the bore of the activating piston by a retainer ring.
- the retainer ring has a plurality of by-pass ports which allow fluid and mud to pass through the retainer ring.
- the activating piston or retainer ring is adapted to receive a retrieval tool such as a spear or overshot.
- the activating piston has an external split ring mounted around the outside diameter.
- the split ring can communicate with a groove in the body of the reamer shoe, wherein the activating piston is prevented from moving when the split ring is in communication with said groove.
- a plurality of ramps are located externally to the activating piston.
- the activating piston ramp segments, split ring, ball, retainer ring and float valve are drillable.
- the reaming members move from the first closed position to the second expanded position by virtue of a hydrodynamic pressure drop between the interior and exterior of the reamer shoe.
- hydrodynamic pressure drop is created by one or more nozzles which may be attached to the lowermost end of the reamer shoe.
- the reaming members are held in the first closed position by a plurality of leaf springs.
- the reaming members are locked in position by a first and second retaining block at either end.
- the reamer shoe may contain a rupture means such as a burst disc, wherein upon rupturing, the rupture means permits the flow area of fluid from the interior of the reamer shoe to the exterior to be increased for ease of passage of cement, when cementing the casing, after reaming to bottom.
- a rupture means such as a burst disc
- the expandable reamer shoe may have a cementing float valve fitted in the nose or the bore of the body.
- a method of inserting expandable casing into a borehole comprising the steps of; a) running a first section of expandable casing into a pre-drilled borehole, expanding and then cementing (if required) the expandable casing in place, b) underreaming under the in-place casing using a standard underreamer and pilot bit or an expandable bit or bi-centre bit, c) running a second length of expandable casing through the in-place casing with an expandable reamer shoe to ream down by rotation and/or reciprocation to guarantee the hole is at the expected size d) After reaming down, if needed, the expandable casing can be expanded and then cemented (if required) to create a slimhole or even a mono-bore well.
- the expandable reamer shoe, as well as having expandable blades, can also be designed
- the method may further comprise the step of running a subsequent section of casing through the in-place section of expandable casing after drilling through the apparatus of the first aspect to create a new hole or even to use a casing drill shoe to drill out the nose of the expandable reamer shoe for drilling and casing simultaneously.

- Figures 11 and 12 illustrate an alternative cross sectional view of the expandable reamer shoe of Figure 8.
- an expandable reamer shoe which can drift and ream a drilled section of well bore is generally depicted at 1 and is comprised of a cylindrical body (2) with an eccentric nose with ledge riding capability (3) .
- the body (2) contains an activating piston (4) which is moveable and which defines an internal bore (5) .
- the activating piston (4) has a split ring (6) which is fitted onto the outside diameter of the piston (4) .
- the body (2) is made from steel and has hard facing reaming members (6) which can be seen in Figure 2 applied to the leading end for reaming the inner most section of the drilled hole.
- the activating piston (4) with the split ring (6) mounted thereon will be inserted into the bore (5) of the body (2) .
- Simple service tooling is used to install the split ring (6) into the bore (5) of the body (2) .
- the piston (4) would be slid down to the position shown on the lower side of the centre line of Figure 1.
- a plurality of ramp segments (7) would then be welded onto the outside of the piston (4) through slots (8) in the wall of the body (2) .
- the slots (8) can be seen in more detail on the external view of the reamer shoe (1) seen on Figure 2.
- the piston (4) has six slots for the location of six ramp sections (7) each of which corresponds with one of six external blades (10) .
- the blades (10) When the tool (1) is to be used as a reamer, the blades (10) have hard facing pre-applied, for example, hard or super hard metal or diamond. However when the tool (2) is to be used solely as a drift, the blades (10) will not need to have cutting grade hard facing.
- the piston (4), split ring (6) and ramp segments (7) are all made from a drillable material such as aluminium alloy.
- the blades (10) and body (2) are made from an material of medium hardness, such as alloy steel.
- a deformable ball or dart (11) is then be dropped into the bore (5) of the piston (4).
- the ball or dart (11), which would typically be a rubber/plastic or rubber/plastic coated ball can be seen on the lower side of the centre line on Figure 1.
- a retainer ring (12) is then screwed into place, the retainer ring (12) also being made from a drillable material, such as aluminium alloy.
- the retainer ring (12) has holes (13) which allow fluid and mud to pass through the retainer ring (12) when tripping the shoe (1) to the bottom of the well bore.
- the eccentric nose (3) of the tool (1) may have hard facing (6) applied on the outside and may also have a float valve (14), as seen in Figure 4.
- the eccentric nose (3) also has a bore which is large enough to accommodate the ball (11) and is typically off-centre to ensure that any subsequent drill bit (not shown) to be passed through the tool (1) can drill through the ball. This prevents the ball (11) from acting as a bearing upon which the drill bit will spin on.
- the assembly (1) can then be fitted onto the end of an expandable casing (not shown) and run into a pre-drilled well bore to the end of the section of well bore which has already been drilled and cased.
- the tool (1) is activated just after the new casing enters the new drilled hole section, ie with the tool (1) in the rat hole below the existing casing. This is achieved by applying power to mud pumps (not shown) , attached at the surface and to the top of the pipe used for running the expandable casing.
- the flow of mud in the first few seconds seats the ball (11) into the piston (4), if it is not already in this location.
- the ball (11) will seal off the piston bore (5) and pressure will be applied across the full area of the external seal on the piston (4) .
- the piston (4) is encouraged to move down the bore (5) of the body (2) of the tool and in doing so deforms the plurality of blades (10) outwards, by virtue of each of the blades (10) communicating with its corresponding ramp segment (7).
- the piston (4) is moved down the bore (5) to the body (2) , the ball (11) will rest in position in a seat (18) as shown on the upper side of the centre line in Figure 1.
- the piston (4) is stationary and the blades (10) are expanded to gauge size.
- the retainer ring (12) has seals (16) which are external to the retainer ring (12) .
- the retainer ring (12) has two seals which fit into grooves (not shown) on the external surface of the retainer ring (12) .
- Figure 5 illustrates a float valve (14) which can be incorporated into the nose (3) of the tool (1) .
- the float valve (14) allows mud and cement to pass through the nose (3) through the nozzles (19) in the nose (3) of the reamer shoe (1) to the bottom of the well, so that it can be displaced between the exterior surface of the casing and the interior surface of the well bore, to allow the casing to be cemented in place.
- the float valve (14) also ensures that cement cannot flow back into the reamer shoe through the nose although there would be some leakage through the pressure relief holes in the body adjacent to the retainer ring but the diametrical gap between the retainer ring and the body would be very small.
- the nose (3), piston (4), split ring (6) , ball (11) and retainer ring (12) and inside portion of the ramp segments can be drilled out with the drill bit (not shown) , with a gauge diameter slightly smaller than the bore (5) of the body (2) .
- the design of the ramp segments located in the wall of the body and welded to the piston prevents the piston and retainer ring spinning when being drilled out.
- the body (2) could also be expanded after drill out, by pushing a pig or plug from above the reamer shoe (1) .
- a seat for a hydraulic expansion seal dart could also be located in the reamer shoe including at the entry to the nose designed in this case so that the ball would still pass by or through it, with the ball seat in the guide end of the nose.
- FIG 4 illustrates one embodiment of the invention, which allows the blades (10) to be retracted after use, wherein each of the blades (10) is adapted to correspond with a ramp section (7) by a dovetail groove (20).
- the retainer ring (12) is provided with a profiled end which accommodates a retriever pulling tool (not shown) , such as an overshot or spear.
- the retriever pulling tool can be used to pull the piston (4) back into its original position, hence pulling the blades (10) back into the body (2) .
- Figure 5 illustrates a retainer ring (12) which is adapted to suit a spear (21) .
- Figure 6 illustrates a retainer ring (12) which is adapted with an end to suit an overshot (22) . It will be appreciated that de-latching of the overshot or spear will also be required in the event that it is desirable to pull back the casing string for any reason after reaming has commenced.
- the tool (1) is designed to be welded while being assembled and manufactured, so that the amount of components within the internal bore (5) is minimised, and accordingly there are less internal parts which need to be drilled out for the next section of expandable casing.
- the advantage of the above described embodiment lies in the fact that it is possible to drill through the expandable reamer shoe (1) after having reamed the expandable casing to the bottom, and following expansion and cementing of the expandable casing.
- the reamer shoe (1) could be designed to act solely as a drift for the drilled hole or as a drift in addition to being a reamer shoe.
- the tool (1) is to be used as a drift, its dimensions are slightly smaller than that of the outside diameter of the drilled hole, and the tool will not comprise cutting grade hard facing.
- the tool (1) could also be used with standard casing as opposed to expandable casing.
- FIG 8 An alternative second embodiment of the reamer shoe is shown in Figure 8, generally depicted at 23.
- the shoe (23) is made entirely from steel and is millable as opposed to drillable.
- the shoe (23) can also be retrieved back to the surface if required.
- the reamer shoe (23) can also be used with a final casing string, for example in a section which does not require drill- out.
- the body (24) of the tool has three pockets each of which holds a blade (25) with hard metal or super hard metal or diamond, or other cutting grade material on the external surface, as shown in Figures 11 and 12. It will be appreciated that the cutting grade material will not be included on the blade (25) if the reamer shoe (23) is to be used as a drift only.
- the blades (25) are activated by the flow of fluid through the ports or nozzles (26) in the eccentric nose (27) of the tool (23) which creates a dynamic pressure drop between the inside and outside of the tool (23) . This forces the blades (25) out against leaf springs (28) which are mounted in additional pockets along the length of the sides of the blades (25) .
- Each blade (25) has a series of blade pistons (29) which are screwed into the base of the pockets of the body (24) .
- the blades (25) are driven out to the gauge diameter by the dynamic pressure drop, against stop blocks (30) which are located at either end of each of the blades (25) .
- the blades (25) are locked in place by the spring activated blocks (30), and reaming then commences to the bottom of the bore.
- a means to indicate that the blades (25) are at the gauge size could be achieved by adding a pressure relief valve (not shown).
- the leaf springs (28) hold the blades (25) into the body (24) when the tool (23) is tripped into the hole.
- Figure 9 illustrates a cross section of the body (24) when the blades (25) are closed.
- Figure 10 illustrates the same cross section of the body (24) when the blades are expanded.
- a float valve (31) can be fitted to the eccentric nose (27) of the tool (23) to aid cementing.
- Figure 10 illustrates the float valve (31) wherein the valve is closed thereby obturating the entry of fluid such as cement or mud from the body (24) of the tool (23) into the nose (27) .
- Figure 12 shows the float valve (31) when open, which allows fluid to flow into the nose (27) when reaming. If a float valve (31) is not fitted to the nose (27), the nose (27) can be made integrally with the body (24) .
- a bursting disk (32) may also be incorporated into the body (24) of the tool to increase the flow area through the tool for cementing. It is envisaged that a bursting disk (32) will be incorporated into the shoe (23) if the nozzles (26) of the nose (27) are small. Incorporation of the bursting disk will ensure that a reasonably high cross sectional flow area is available for cement to pass through. When using a burst disk it is likely that the nose will not incorporate a float valve as ' the cement could flow back in through the hole after the disc was burst. In this case the float valve would be fitted above the burst disc location.
- An advantage of the present invention is that the reamer shoe can be expanded prior to the passage of expandable casing which will ensure that the casing can expand fully to the desired gauge size.
- a further advantage is that the reamer shoe may be drilled through by a subsequent drill bit or casing drill shoe with the first embodiment design. This allows further sections of a well-bore to be drilled below the region which has been lined by the expandable casing, without any damage to the drill bit.
- the expandable reamer shoe can also be advanced into the borehole by reciprocation and/or rotation.
