STAGE CEMENTING TOOL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240026753 titled 'STAGE CEMENTING TOOL

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a stage cementing tool for a wellbore, which includes a tool body with a flow port and an annulus between the tool body and the wellbore. The tool also includes a setting sleeve that compresses a packer element as it moves, causing the packer element to expand and engage the wellbore. Additionally, there is a pump-out plug in the tool body that can be expelled into the annulus when pressure is applied after the packer element engages the wellbore.

  • The tool body has a flow port and defines an annulus with the wellbore.
  • A setting sleeve compresses a packer element, causing it to expand and engage the wellbore.
  • A pump-out plug in the tool body can be expelled into the annulus when pressure is applied.

Potential Applications:

  • Oil and gas industry: This tool can be used in wellbore cementing operations, ensuring proper sealing and isolation of different sections of the wellbore.
  • Well construction: The tool can be utilized during the construction of new wells to enhance the integrity and efficiency of the cementing process.

Problems Solved:

  • Inadequate sealing: The tool addresses the problem of inadequate sealing between different sections of the wellbore, ensuring proper isolation and preventing fluid migration.
  • Inefficient cementing: By providing a reliable and controlled method for expanding the packer element, the tool improves the efficiency and effectiveness of the cementing process.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced wellbore integrity: The tool's packer element expands radially outwardly, providing a secure and reliable seal between the tool body and the wellbore.
  • Improved cementing efficiency: The controlled compression and expansion of the packer element ensure proper sealing and isolation, reducing the risk of fluid migration and improving the overall cementing process.


Original Abstract Submitted

a stage cementing tool for a wellbore comprises a tool body defining a flow port in a wall thereof. the tool body and wellbore define an annulus therebetween. a setting sleeve compresses a packer element as it moves from the first to the second position. the packer element expands radially outwardly to engage the wellbore as a result of the compression applied by the setting sleeve. a pump-out plug in the tool body is expellable into the annulus upon the application of pressure in the tool body after the packer element engages the wellbore.
