Cased perforation tools
11795789 · 2023-10-24 · ·

A tool includes a main body with one or more segments. Each of the one or more segments includes an outer wall, an inner volume defined within the outer wall and a pre-perforated spear mounted at the outer wall. The tool also includes one or more acoustic transducers which induce sonoluminescence in the inner volume, wherein pressure resulting from the induced sonoluminescence causes the pre-perforated spear to be ejected from the outer wall. A related method includes providing such a tool, inserting it to a wellbore and ejecting it from the outer wall as noted.

PUNCH AND INJECT TOOL FOR DOWNHOLE CASING AND METHOD FOR USE THEREOF

A downhole tool, which includes a tool housing having a longitudinal axis, is equipped with a sting for punching a hole in a casing wall and injecting a sealant though said hole. The tube has a fluid channel to establish fluid communication from within the tool housing to an exterior of the tool housing through the fluid channel. A press device acts on the sting to force the sting in a radially outward direction from the tool housing. A check valve is arranged in the fluid channel, which allows fluid communication in a direction from within the tool housing to an exterior of the tool housing and which blocks fluid flow in an opposite direction. In use, the sting can perforate a casing wall and the sealant can be injected into an annular space around the casing.

Method for selective treatment of a producing formation, device for the implementation thereof and hydraulic fracturing port
20220259961 · 2022-08-18 ·

The proposed technology relates to methods and devices for selective treatment of wellbores that allows treating several intervals of a productive formation in a single trip. The proposed device for implementing the method includes a mechanical anchor, hydraulic fracturing port, packers and a perforator disposed in the device's bottom part. It is lowered into a well casing to the depth of productive formation. Working fluid is supplied to the perforator via a tubing string, the well casing is perforated, and caverns are washed out. The device is positioned so that the perforation interval is situated between the packers, fixed in the well casing by the anchor, and working fluid is then cut off. Hydraulic fracturing fluid is supplied, and the productive formation's interval is isolated from the well casing's annulus by activation of the packers. Hydraulic fracturing is executed, and the device is removed from the well casing.

The proposed technology relates to treatment of intervals of a productive formation, using a proposed device that is lowered into a wellbore to the depth of an interval, working fluid is admitted to the device's inner cavity below a lower through packer, supplied to a tubing string, through packers are activated, the wellbore annulus is isolated, the well casing is perforated, and the packers are deactivated. The device is lowered to a position between the packers, and is fixed by an anchor. Access of working fluid below the lower packer is cut off, and a hydraulic fracturing fluid is supplied, hermetically isolating the space between the packers. The device is then transferred to the next interval. The device includes the tubing sting, collar finder, upper through packer, hydraulic fracturing port, lower through packer, anchor and perforator. The technology prevents premature activation of the perforator, vibrations and damage to the packers.
