Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to filtration apparatus and, in an embodiment described herein, more particularly provides an expandable well screen assembly for use in a subterranean wellbore, and associated methods of fabricating the well screen.
- BACKGROUND It is useful in some circumstances to be able to convey generally tubular equipment into a subterranean wellbore to a predetermined location therein, and then outwardly expand the equipment in the wellbore.
- a restriction in the wellbore may prevent the equipment in its expanded configuration from passing through that part of the wellbore, but the equipment may pass through the restriction in its retracted configuration, in one application of this principle, it is known to use expandable well screens in wellbores.
- Previously proposed expandable well screens have associated therewith several problems, limitations and disadvantages. For example, they are typically not designed for contacting and providing radial support for a formation, and are thus unsuited for this purpose. Additionally, at least one previously proposed well screen assembly construction has a multi-layer configuration in which various tubular elements must be telescoped with one another and then intersecured. The relative structural complexity of this previously proposed expandable well screen assembly, and the necessity of using multiple steps to fabricate it, undesirably increases its fabrication cost.
- the assembly portion outwardly circumscribing a perforated base pipe portion of the well screen has several layers, the maximum permissible unexpanded diameter of the base pipe is undesirably reduced due to the necessity of limiting the outer diameter of the well screen assembly to a maximum value determined by limiting well dimensions. Due to this reduced unexpanded diameter of the base pipe, operational expansion thereof undesirably increases the expansion stresses thereon and reduces the maximum available expanded diameter thereof.
- a specially designed well screen is provided and is useable in a subterranean wellbore as a particulate filtering structure. While the well screen is representatively of an expandable construction, it may also be advantageously utilized in applications where it is not necessary or desirable to expand the well screen. Additionally, principles of the present invention may be used in filtration applications other than in the representatively illustrated downhole well screen application.
- the well screen includes a perforated tubular base pipe coaxially circumscribed by a specially designed thin-walled tubular filter structure anchored to the base pipe and defined by a perforated tubular outer protective shroud having a tubular filter media sheet secured directly to its inner side surface.
- the construction of the filter structure facilitates the radial expansion of the well screen, provides it with a greater central flow area for a given maximum outer well screen diameter, simplifies the fabrication of the well screen, and reduces the fabrication cost of the well screen.
- the filter structure is of a metal mesh material and has relatively coarse radially outer and inner filter material layers between which a relatively fine intermediate filter material layer is sandwiched.
- the perforated tubular outer shroud member has a sidewall opening area percentage which is representatively in the range of from about 10 percent to about 30 percent, and is preferably about 23 percent.
- the tubular outer shroud/filter subassembly is formed by providing a flat perforated plate and placing on a side thereof a stack of individual metal mesh sheets.
- a diffusion bonding process is preferably used to bond the individual sheets to one another, and bond the sheet stack to the facing side of the perforated plate.
- a single bonding process is used, although a first bonding step could be used to bond the sheets together, and a subsequent bonding step used to secure the bonded sheet stack to the perforated plate.
- the plate/sheet stack assembly is deformed to a tubular configuration that defines the filter media-lined tubular shroud structure.
- a seam weld is placed along abutting edge portions of the now tubular perforated plate to hold it, and the tubular filter media structure which lines it and is directly secured to its inner side surface, in their finished tubular configurations.
- the finished outer tubular shroud/filter structure is then placed coaxially around the perforated base pipe and suitably anchored thereto, for example by welding the opposite ends of the shroud to the base pipe, to complete the fabrication of the well screen.

- DETAILED DESCRIPTION Representatively illustrated in FIGS. 1A and 1B is a method 10 which embodies principles of the present invention, in the following description of the method 10 and other apparatus and methods described herein, directional terms, such as “above”, “below”, “upper”, “lower”, etc., are used only for convenience in referring to the accompanying drawings. Additionally, it is to be understood that the apparatus representatively described herein may be utilized in various orientations, such as inclined, inverted, horizontal, vertical, etc., and in various configurations, without departing from principles of the present invention.
- a screen assembly 12 including multiple expandable well screens 14, 16, 18 is conveyed into a wellbore 20.
- the wellbore 20 intersects multiple formations or zones 22, 24, 26 from which it is desired to produce fluids.
- the screens 14, 16, 18 are positioned opposite respective ones of the zones 22, 24, 26.
- the wellbore 20 is depicted in FIGS. 1A and 1B as being uncased, but it is to be clearly understood that the principles of the present invention may also be practiced in cased wellbores.
- the screen assembly 12 is depicted as including three individual screens 14, 16, 18, with only one of the screens being positioned opposite each of the zones 22, 24, 26, but it is to be clearly understood that any number of screens may be used in the assembly, and any number of the screens may be positioned opposite any of the zones, without departing from the principles of the present invention.
- each of the screens 14, 6, 18 described herein and depicted in FIGS. 1A and 1B may represent multiple screens. Sealing devices 28, 30, 32, 34 are interconnected in the screen assembly 12 between, and above and below, the screens 14, 16, 18.
- the sealing devices 28, 30, 32 and 34 could be packers, in which case the packers would be set in the wellbore 20 to isolate the zones 22, 24, 26 from each other in the wellbore.
- the sealing devices 28, 30, 32, 34 are preferably expandable sealing devices, which are expanded into sealing contact with the wellbore 20 when the screen assembly 12 is expanded as described in further detail below.
- the sealing devices 28, 30, 32, 34 may include a sealing material, such as an elastomer, a resilient material, a nonelastomer, etc., externally applied to the screen assembly 12.
- the screen assembly 12 has been expanded radially outwardly from its initial FIG. 1A configuration.
- the sealing devices 28, 30, 32, and 34 now sealingly engage the wellbore 20 between the screens 14, 16, 18, and above and below the screens.
- the screens 14, 16, 18 preferably contact the wellbore 20 at the zones 22, 24, 26. Such contact between the screens 14, 16, 18 and the wellbore 20 may aid in preventing formation sand from being produced, preventing the formation or zones 22, 24, 26 from collapsing into the wellbore, etc. However, this contact is not necessary in keeping with the principles of the present invention.
- an expandable screen assembly 12 has several additional benefits.
- the radially reduced configuration shown in FIG. 1A may be advantageous for passing through a restriction uphole
- the radially expanded configuration shown in FIG. 1B may be advantageous for providing a large flow area and enhanced access therethrough.
- FIG. 5 an expandable well screen 36 embodying principles of the present invention is representatively illustrated in FIG. 5.
- the well screen 36 may be used for one or more of the well screens 14, 16, 18 in the method 10.
- the well screen 36 may be utilized in any other method without departing from the principles of the present invention.
- the well screen 36 may be used in a nonexpandable application without departing from the principles of the present invention.
- well screen 36 includes a generally tubular base pipe 38 (see FIG. 4), a generally tubularly configured multi-layer filter media sheet 40 (see FIGS.
- the shroud 42 (see FIGS. 3-6) has openings 44 formed through a sidewall thereof to admit fluid into the well screen 36.
- the shroud 42 has a sidewall opening percentage in the range of from about 10 percent to about 30 percent. Preferably, this sidewall opening percentage is approximately 23 percent. Fluid passing inwardly through the shroud openings 44 is filtered by passing inwardly through the filter media 40. The fluid then flows inwardly through openings 46 formed through a sidewall of the base pipe 38 (see FIGS. 4-6).
- the well screen 36 may be radially expanded utilizing any of various methods. For example, a swage may be passed through the base pipe 38, fluid pressure may be applied to a membrane positioned within the base pipe, etc. Thus, any method of expanding the well screen 36 may be used without departing from the principles of the present invention.
- Outer shroud 42 protects the filter media 40 from damage while the well screen 36 is being conveyed and positioned in a well, Additionally, if the well screen 36 is used in a method, such as the method 10 previously described herein, wherein the well screen is expanded into radial contact with a wellbore, the shroud 42 also protects the filter media 40 from damage due to such contact, and provides radial support to prevent collapse of the wellbore.
- the shroud 42 is preferably constructed of a durable, deformable, high strength material, such as steel, although other materials may be used in keeping with the principles of the present invention. It will be readily appreciated that, when the base pipe 38 is expanded radially outwardly, the filter media 40 will be radially compressed between the shroud 42 and the base pipe 38. Because of differential expansion between the base pipe 38 and the shroud 42, it may be difficult or otherwise undesirable to maintain alignment between the openings 44 in the shroud and the openings 46 in the base pipe. This lack of alignment between the openings 44 and 46, and compression of the filter media 40 between the shroud 42 and the base pipe 38, could severely restrict the flow of fluid into the well screen 36.
- the filter media 40 includes features which completely or substantially eliminate this potential problem, specifically, as cross-sectional ly illustrated in FIG. 7, the filter media 40 sandwiched between the perforated tubular base pipe 38 and the perforated tubular outer shroud 42 includes three layers of filter material - an outer relatively course layer 48, a middle relative fine layer 50, and an inner relatively coarse layer 52.
- the terms "fine” and “coarse” are used herein to indicate the relative size of particles permitted to pass through the filter layers 48,50,52. That is, the middle layer 50 filters fine or small-sized particles from fluid passing therethrough, while the inner and outer layers 48,52 filter coarse or larger-sized particles from fluid passing therethrough.
- Each layer 48,50,52 may consist of one or more individual sheets of metal mesh material.
- the inner and outer layers 48,52 are not necessarily used for their filtering properties, although at least the outer layer 48 will filter larger-sized particles from fluid flowing into the interior of the well screen 36. instead, they are used primarily to provide for flow between the openings 44,46 after the base pipe 38 is expanded.
- the filter layers 48,52 are made of a relatively coarse woven material, fluid radially entering the well screen 36 via the shroud openings 44 may relatively easily flow transversely through the layers 48-52 (i.e., generally perpendicularly to the radial direction of incoming fluid flow).
- fluid may flow into one of the shroud openings 44, flow transversely through the outer filter layer 48, flow inwardly through the middle filter layer 50, flow transversely through the inner filter layer 52 to one of the openings 46, and then flow inwardly through the opening 46 into the interior of the base pipe 38. Therefore, even if the filter media 40 is radially compressed between the shroud 42 and the base pipe 38, and the shroud openings 44 are not aligned with the base pipe openings 46, fluid may still flow relatively unimpeded through the filter media (other than the resistance to flow due to the relative fine middle filter layer
- a unique method is utilized to fabricate the well screen 36 which provides it with a very desirable thin-walled configuration as well as reducing its complexity and fabrication cost. This fabrication method will now be described in conjunction with FIGS. 2-5.
- the outer tubular shroud 42 is formed from an initially flat rectangular metal plate 42a having the shroud perforations 44 formed therein, and having an inner side 54.
- the filter media structure 40 which, in the completed well screen 36 is of a tubular configuration, is initially a stack 40a of individual flat rectangular metal mesh sheets placed atop the inner side 54 of the flat metal plate 42.
- the mesh sizes of these individual metal mesh sheets are arranged so as to define in the stack the aforementioned relatively coarse filter media layers 48,52 and the relatively fine intermediate layer 50. using a suitable diffusion bonding process, these individual metal mesh sheets are simultaneously bonded to one another, and the stack of metal mesh sheets is bonded to the inner side 54 of the plate 42a.
- the individual sheets could be diffusion bonded to one another prior to diffusion bonding the stack to the plate 42a. While diffusion bonding is a preferred method of securing the filter media to the inner side 54 of the perforated plate 42a, other techniques could be utilized to secure the filter media to the plate, if desired, without departing from the principles of the present invention.
- the length and width dimensions of the rectangular wire mesh sheet stack 40a and the underlying flat perforated plate 42a are generally identical, and the sheet stack 40a is peripherally aligned with the underlying flat plate 42a, with the aligned peripheries of the stack and plate representatively extending along the dotted periphery line P in FIG. 2.
- the periphery of the stack/plate subassembly is suitably trimmed from the dotted line P to the solid line periphery Pa shown in FIG. 2 to provide the plate/filter media subassembly with a finished periphery having predetermined final fabrication dimensions.
- the flat plate 42 is suitably deformed to a tubular configuration, with the filter media structure 40 secured directly to its inner side 54 now also having been deformed to a tubular configuration and being circumscribed by the now tubular outer perforated shroud 42.
- a seam weld 56 is formed along the abutting side edge portions of the shroud 42 and filter media sheet 40 to thereby complete the construction of the filter media-lined perforated tubular shroud 42 shown in FIG. 3.
- the perforated tubular base pipe 38 (see FIG. 4) is telescoped into the interior of the shroud 42 (see FIGS. 5 and 6), thereby sandwiching the filter media 40 between the base pipe 38 and the shroud 42 (see FIGS. 6 and 7).
- the filter media-lined shroud 42 is then suitably anchored to the base pipe 38, such as by annular welds 58 (see FIG. 5) extending around the opposite ends of the shroud 42.
- the securement of the filter media structure directly to the inner side 54 of the perforated shroud 42 not only simplifies and reduces the cost of fabricating the well screen 36, but also provides the screen 36 with other advantages compared to well screens of conventional constructions.
- the well screen 36 may have a larger diameter perforated base pipe 38 for a given maximum outer diameter of the well screen.
- the well screen 36 is radially expanded (as, for example, in the previously described method 10)
- the resulting base pipe flow area is increased, and the expansion stress on the base pipe is decreased, compared to a conventional, thicker walled well screen having the same unexpanded initial maximum outer diameter.
- the base pipe 38 is initially of a larger diameter than that of a conventionally constructed well screen having the same maximum outer diameter
- the base pipe openings 46 can be sized based primarily on drainage efficiency considerations, as opposed to having to be sized based primarily to facilitate radial expansion of the base pipe.
- the screen well 36 is representatively an expandable well screen, it may also be advantageously utilized in a variety of applications in which it need not be expanded.
- the screen 36 has been illustrated and described as being a well screen useable in a subterranean wellbore, it will readily be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the filtration art that principles of this invention could also be utilized in a variety of other filtration applications if desired.
