FIELD OF THE INVENTION
Title: Coiled Tubing Conveyed Milling Inventors: Gerald D. Lynde and John P. Davis PRIORITY INFORMATION
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No.
60/589,053, filed on July 19, 2004.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The field of the invention related to milling downhole with a bottom hole assembly delivered on coiled tubing with provisions to absorb torque reaction from milling and to collect generated debris near the milling location.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] Workovers in existing wells can require removal of packers or plugs by milling them out. Other occasions can also occur where there is a need to mill out a tool or even a casing section. If the well is not too deviated, rigid tubing has been used to support a mill and the rotation force provided from surface equipment.
Alternatively, where the deviated nature of the wellbore precludes rotation form the surface, the bottom hole assembly includes a mud motor to turn the mill. The bottom hole assembly is still delivered on rigid tubing but such tubing above the mud motor remains stationary, with the output of the mud motor driving the mill below. In either alternative a workover rig must be erected over the well to handle the rigid tubing string for trips into and out of the well. There is a fair amount of expense associated with erecting the rig on site and handling the tubing to assembly and disassemble the string for trips into the well. It would be advantageous if a coiled tubing unit could be used at the surface instead of a workover rig. Being able to use coiled tubing would save time and money for the operator over using rigid tubing. However, the use of coiled tubing creates other issues that are not of concern when using rigid tubing. The main problem is that coiled tubing is considerably weaker than rigid tubing. During milling a reaction torque is created that is passed to the supporting tubing. In the past, milling on coiled tubing has been attempted in small casings that are less than 4-1/2 inches with equally small mud motors driving the mill. These attempts worked, after a fashion, because the torque output from the motor and the resultant torque reaction from milling was sufficiently small so as to not twist the coiled tubing. If the torque reaction turns the coiled tubing it can raise the mill off the packer being milled or bounce it, resulting in erratic milling. Worse still, the coiled tubing can fail from being over-torqued. For this reason milling with coiled tubing was limited in the past to very small applications, generally with casing sizes fewer than four inches.

Worse still, the coiled tubing can fail from being over-torqued. For this reason milling with coiled tubing was limited in the past to very small applications, generally with casing sizes fewer than four inches.
[0004] The milling process generates debris in the wellbore. Even if a milling job in a larger casing were attempted with small coiled tubing and an equally low powered mud motor, the return flow in the larger casing sizes would reduce the velocity of the returning fluid so as to allow the debris to drop out rather than be carried to the surface for separation with surface equipment. While debris catchers of various designs are known they have operational shortcomings. Some require a separate trip. The generally let the debris-laden fluid passes through an open port on the trip downhole.
When the tool is brought uphole, the bypass port is closed and the fluid passes through a screen leaving the debris inside the screen. Some examples of such tools are the H-3015 and the 10084-1 offered by Baker Oil Tools. Some debris catchers can be run in the same trip as the milling equipment but due to the way such tools operate they can't have a mud motor below them. These tools use a venturi effect to direct the cuttings into the tool and generally must be coupled with specially designed mills that create the type of cuttings that will enter this type of debris catcher. One such tool offered by Baker Oil Tool s is the VACS tool. U.S. Patent 6,176,311 illustrated the concepts of central circulation, annulus diversion of debris into the tool, an interior capture area and screen. This design has been iinproved in the present invention to minimize issues of plugging and damage to the annulus diverter device when running in or removing the tool. Other debris removal tools are described in U.S. Patents 5,176,208; 5,402,850; 6,176,311 and 6,276,452.

[0005] Anchors for tubing downhole are known, as illustrated in U.S. Patent 6,276,452.
[0006] The present invention permits small coiled tubing to support large mud motors for big milling jobs. The coiled tubing is anchored in position and the mud motor operates the mill in conjunction with a thruster to keep the mill on the tool being milled.
Other variations are envisioned that secure the coiled tubing against torque reaction while allowing the mill to progress and mill out downhole. An improved debris catcher is incorporated into the assembly with greater debris retention capacity and other operational enhancements to improve its operation. These and other aspects of the invention will be more readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the description of the preferred embodiment and the claims that appear below.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0009] Referring to Figure 1 a, coiled tubing 10 is run into casing 12. At the lower end 14 is a threaded connection 16 to which an anchor 18 is attached. The anchor 18 is preferably of a known design as described in U.S. Patent 6,276,452. It features extending gripping members 20 and 22 that are hydraulically actuated by fluid circulation down the coiled tubing 10. A connection 24 is at the lower end of the anchor 18 to attach the debris catcher 26. The debris catcher 26 runs from upper end 28 to lower end 30 in Figure 1 c.
Continuing with the preferred assembly, a jet sub 34 is connected to lower end 30. A mud motor 36 (shown schematically) is connected to jet sub 34. A thruster 38 (shown schematically) is connected to mud motor 36. A mill 40 is connected to the thruster 38.
Mill 40 comes in contact with the object 42 (shown schematically) to be milled in the wellbore. That object 42 could be a packer, a bridge plug, another downhole tool, or a section of casing or tubular. Depending on the specific attributes of the components selected they can be attached in different orders. The thruster 38 can be optionally omitted and instead the anchor 18 can be repositioned periodically during the milling by cutting circulation to release the anchor 18 and letting the assembly move down to a new position. At that time the circulation can begin again and the anchor 18 will take another grip of the casing 12. Of course, the anchor 18 is above the mud motor 36 to isolate the coiled tubing 10 from reaction torque from the mill 40 milling the object 42.
The coiled tubing 10 can be sized as small as practicable to not only support the load of the bottom hole assembly but also to keep the pressure drop in flow passage 32 at a reasonable level.
Initiating flow through the coiled tubing 10 will set the anchor 18 first before any significant milling by mill 40 can take place. At that point the coiled tubing is protected from reaction torque transmitted through the mud motor 36. The mud motor 36 can be of a type known in the art as well as the thruster 38 whose purpose is to keep weight on the mill 40 to hold it against the object 42 for efficient milling. As long as the anchor 18 is properly sized for the casing 12, the other components simply need to be small enough to easily pass through the casing 12. As a result, the illustrated assembly can be rapidly deployed at the surface without a workover rig and the trip time to reach the object 42 to be milled can be greatly reduced as compared to running the bottom hole assembly on rigid tubing. Objects 42 in casing sizes larger than 4-1/2" can be easily milled out with coiled tubing smaller than 3-1/2 iiiches in diameter. It is conceivable that coil tubing as small as 1-1/4" could be used to support milling equipment in casing as large as 9-5/8" or larger.
Continuing with the preferred assembly, a jet sub 34 is connected to lower end 30. A mud motor 36 (shown schematically) is connected to jet sub 34. A thruster 38 (shown schematically) is connected to mud motor 36. A mill 40 is connected to the thruster 38.

[0010] The details of the debris catcher will now be described. Flow enters near the top 28 through passage 32. A diverter sub 44 has downhole-oriented passages 46 spaced apart from uphole return passages 48. Arrow 50 shows the flow beyond passages 46 and around the outside of sleeve 52 that is secured at thread 54 to the diverter sub 44.
Flow continues through annular space 56 between the sleeve 52 and the outer screen housing 57 and emerges in Figure lc as arrow 50. The flow 50 emerges in an annular space 58 around a diverter tube 60. Seals 62 seal around diverter tube 60.
Accordingly the pressure is directed downwardly through the inside of sleeve 64 as shown by arrow 66 and outside sleeve 64 as shown by arrow 68. Flow 68 encounters a piston 70 that has a movable bearing 72 below it and a pack off sleeve 74 below the bearing 72. A
return spring 76 biases the pack off sleeve 74 uphole to a retracted position.
Pressure on piston 70 represented by arrow 68 pushes the piston 70 and bearing 72 downhole against the pack off sleeve 74. A stationary ramp 78 catches the lower end 80 of the pack off sleeve 74 to force it out into sealing contact with the casing 12. In this manner, the pack off sleeve 74 is protected from damage during run in or removal because the return spring 76 keeps it retracted and away from casing 12 until circulation through passage 32 in coiled tubing 10 is established. Another bearing 82 is supported by reverse flow sub 84.
Together bearings 72 and 82 allow the pack off sleeve 74 to rotate relative to the sleeve 64 to promote sealing and to minimize wear on the pack off sleeve 74.

Another bearing 82 is supported by reverse flow sub 84.
Together bearings 72 and 82 allow the pack off sleeve 74 to rotate relative to the sleeve 64 to promote sealing and to minimize wear on the pack off sleeve 74.
[0011] The flow 66 through sleeve 64 emerges near lower end 30 of the debris catcher 26 in a chamber 86 between restrictor 88 and venturi jet 90. The venturi jet 90 discharges into return path 92 in diverter tube 60 to reduce pressure in return port 94 so as to draw debris laden fluid in (as will be explained below). Restrictor 88 creates enough backpressure to supply adequate pressure to the venturi jet 90. This restrictor is optional and can be used when the mill nozzles (not shown) are fairly large sb that insufficient backpressure is available for proper operation of the venturi jet 90. After going through the restrictor 88 the flow 66 goes to the nozzles in the mill 40 and comes back uphole laden with cuttings in annulus 96 as shown by flow arrow 98.
[0012] Flow 98 with cuttings is forced into return port 94 and aided by the action of the venturi jet 90. It passes up the diverter tube 60 and comes out of outlets 100.The top 102 of the diverter tube 60 is capped off above outlets 100. A screen 104 has a lower end 106 capped but the annular space 108 outside the screen is left open for the debris-laden flow 98. The debris free flow 110 goes to the surface outside of the coiled tubing 10. The debris 112 falls down to catch plate 114 which can be many feet below the lower end 106 of screen 104.
[0013] Those skilled in the art can appreciate some of the improvements in the debris catcher 26 as compared to the design shown in U.S. Patent 6,176,311.
The pack off sleeve 74 is retractable for run in and removal to protect it from damage. A
venturi jet 90 accelerates the debris-laden flow 98. The debris-laden flow 98 passes a screen 104 with a relatively large open area reducing the risk of plugging using the random slots of the prior design. The debris storage area below the screen 104 can be quite long to minimize the chance of plugging.

[0014] Those skilled in the art will now appreciate that coiled tubing milling is possible with small coiled tubing sizes in casing bigger than 4-1/2 inches.
The coiled tubing is isolated from reaction torque by an anchor. The milling is done with a mud motor with the additional optional use of a thruster to keep weight on the mill. A debris catcher incorporates improvements to enhance performance, capacity and reliability. A
hydraulically operated cutter my be used rather than a mill to sever casing.
