Definitions
- collet In the hydrocarbon exploration and recovery arts, a collet is a well known and and well used tool. Traditionally, collets have been configured to locate and/or lock and/or position tools in a borehole. These tools are invaluable with respect to confidence about an ongoing operation whether the purpose of the specific collet is locating, locking or positioning. As downhole tools become more complex however, with zones and seals ubiquitously positioned, and restrictions in the casing becoming more problematic, and with advanced tools (considered necessary to enhance production) needing to be run through the tubing, collets have in some instances been identified as a source of consternation.
- collets operate on a radial deflection principal (inward or outward) and because in general collets run in tubing operate on a deflection inwardbias outward principal, the collet fingers necessarily scrape the inside dimension of the tubing in which they are run. This creates little wear on the inside of a blank tube but can be deleterious to seals exposed at that inside dimension.
- modern downhole systems often include many profiles therein, whether intended as profiles or simply defacto profiles, conventional collets can become stuck. Therefore well operators must expend time and effort tracking the potential snags downhole before employing a conventional collet.
- a perimetrically acting collet which includes a body and at least one lug opening in the body. At least one resilient member is located adjacent the at least one lug opening and a profile in the body is biased perimetrically by the at least one resilient member.
- collet having at least one profile therein, the profile acting perimetrically of a cross-sectional shape of the collet.
- the method includes approaching the mating profile with a perimetrically acting collet, perimetrically deflecting the collet and perimetrically engaging the mating profile .
- Figure 1 is an elevation view of a circumferential collet as described herein;
- Figure 2 is an elevation view of the collet of Figure 1 engaged with a lug
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of a collet with an orientation profile thereon.
- Figure 4 is a view of an alternate selective collet embodiment.
- a circumferentially operating collet 10 is illustrated. As illustrated the device is circumferentially operating because it is circular in cross-section. It is to be noted however that this disclosure is directed to a peripherally acting collet because it is contemplated that specific embodiments may not be circular in cross-section.
- the collet as discussed herein does not act radially i.e., there is substantially no radial force (no more than incidental) in the engagement of the profile (discussed hereunder) but rather the force occurs around the perimeter of whatever cross-sectional shape the collet has.
- Collet 10 is, in the illustrated embodiment, of a tubular configuration.
- collet 10 could be constructed from solid material or from material having one or more longitudinal openings that may or may not include an axial opening. In the event a solid material is employed, it would be machined to provide for the functional features that are described hereunder relative to the tubular embodiment shown.
- collet 10 includes a body 11 having an engagement profile 12 which may comprise one or more teeth (as illustrated) or may comprise any profile capable of engagement with another structure.
- the structure discussed below may or may not have a complementary profile thereon but it will have a profile that is receptive of engagement profile 12.
- Profile 12 extends along a peripheral region of collet 10.
- the peripheral region may be proximate the exterior surface 14 of collet 10 or may occur somewhat radially inwardly thereof.
- Profile 12 is positioned such that it is resilient for engagement operations. In the illustrated embodiment, profile 12 extends from the outer surface 14 of collet 10 to an inside surface 16 of collet 10, that surface defining the tubular lumen of the tool. [0013] Resiliency is effected in different, sometimes cumulative ways depending upon the construction of the collet 10. In the illustrated embodiment, the tube is closed at least in one of uphole and downhole of the mating profile opening 40 so that little resiliency is available in the body of the collet.
- resiliency may also be available in the body of the collet since it will in cross-section be "C" shaped.
- resiliency is effected by removal of material from collet 10 "behind" the profile 12.
- Such material removal is illustrated in Figure 1 as openings 18, 20, 22, 24 and 26.
- openings 18 and 20, 22 and 24 are respectively aligned and separated by a peripheral bridge 28, 30 extending between resilient members 32, 34 and 36 (again, respectively).
- bridges 28, 30 are located directly "behind" profile 12. It will be appreciated that more bridges could be employed between resilient members and then could be alternately located between the resilient members.
- Bridges 28, 30 function to join resilient members to affect the character of the resilience afforded by the configuration. Character of resiliency is also affected by the number, radial thickness and perimetral width of each resilient member. Therefore, the degree of total resilience desired for the collet 10 is adjustable during manufacture by selecting inter alia, parameters for the resilient members and the number of resilient members.
- Profile 12 must be at least on one side of mating profile opening 40 and some embodiments will have profiles 12 on both sides of mating profile opening 40. In embodiments having profiles on both sides, the profiles may be identical or may be different, as desired for a particular application.
- the mating profile opening 40 may be configured in a range of arc degrees of opening.
- the number of degrees selected will affect the size of a mating profile 42 ( Figure 2) that will engage therewith and affects the designed in resilience that is possible.
- Figure 2 As the opening grows in number of degrees past 90 degrees, a practical limit will be reached regarding resiliency available therefore reducing snap- out force to something below useful.
- an angle of arc of about 60 degrees is employed.
- collet 10 may be employed as an orientation mechanism as well as a snap in/snap out engagement device. This is accomplished by adding a helical profile 48 to the downhole end 50 of collet 10 (see Figure 3).
- the helical profile 48 will cooperate with mating profile, in this case a lug 42 to orient the collet 10 and any tool connected thereto.
- a lug 42 having a pointed leading end 54 as shown is of benefit for an orientation operation since it enhances the action of following the helical profile 48, end 54 also provides for a positive stop of the tool when the end 54 reaches an end 56 of lug opening 40.
- collet 110 is configured as a selective device which has the capability of passing over non-conforming mating profiles. In order to pass over such non-conforming mating profiles there must not be end 56 ( Figure 1) which would otherwise act as a positive stop, preventing the collet 110 from passing over.
- end 56 Figure 1
- One such positive stop profile is illustrated in Figure 4 as 112, a no-go shoulder selective profile.
- collet 110 includes a lug opening 140 that extends the length thereof embodiments which exist in tubular form will benefit from being fixed to other tools thereby lending additional structural support.
- a structural support 114 which may be another tool or simply a support mode for collet 110.
