EN ISO 10427-3:2004 (E) 31 Scope This part of ISO 10427 describes testing practices to evaluate the performance of cementing float equipment for the petroleum and natural gas industries. This part of ISO 10427 is applicable to

21、float equipment that will be in contact with water-based fluids used for drilling and cementing wells. It is not applicable to float equipment performance in non-water-based fluids. 2 Functions of cementing float equipment The term “cementing float equipment” refers to one or more check valves incor

22、porated into a well casing string that prevent fluid flow up the casing while allowing fluid flow down the casing. The primary purpose of cementing float equipment is to prevent cement that has been placed in the casing/wellbore annulus from flowing up the casing (U-tubing). In some cases, such as l

23、iner cementing, float equipment may be the only practical means of preventing U-tubing. In other cases, the float equipment serves to allow the cement to set in the annulus without having to increase the pressure inside the casing to prevent U-tubing. Increased pressure in the casing while cement se

24、ts is generally undesirable because it can result in gaps (micro-annuli) in the cemented annulus. Float equipment is also sometimes used for the purpose of lessening the load on the drilling rig. Since float equipment blocks fluid flow up the casing, the buoyant force acting on casing run with float

25、 equipment is greater than the buoyant force acting on casing run without float equipment. If either the height or the density of the fluid placed inside casing equipped with float equipment while the casing is being run is less than that of the fluid outside the casing, the suspended weight of the

26、casing is reduced compared with what it would be without the float equipment. The ability of float equipment to prevent fluid flow up the casing is also important in certain well control situations. If the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid inside the casing becomes less than the pressure of formatio

27、n fluids in formations near the bottom of the casing, fluids from the well may try to flow up the casing. In such a situation, the float equipment becomes a primary well control device. Float equipment is also sometimes used as a device to assist in pressure testing of casing. This is normally done

28、by landing one or more cementing plugs on top of the float equipment assembly. The plugs seal the casing so that the pressure integrity of the casing may be tested. Float equipment is also used by some operators as a device to lessen the free fall of cement inside the casing. The free fall of cement

29、 is the tendency of cement to initially fall due to the density differences between the cement and the fluid in the well. The float equipment lessens the free fall, to some extent, by providing a constriction in the flow path. Casing fill-up float equipment is a special type of float equipment that

30、allows the casing to fill from the bottom as the casing is run. This is desirable, in some cases, to help reduce pressure surges as the casing is lowered. Fill-up type float equipment also helps ensure that the collapse pressure of the casing is not exceeded. Once the casing is run, the check valve

31、mechanism of fill-up type float equipment is activated. This is normally done by either pumping a surface-released ball through the equipment or by circulating above a certain rate. EN ISO 10427-3:2004 (E) 43 Float equipment performance criteria 3.1 General There are a number of performance criteria

32、, listed below, that may be used to evaluate the suitability of a particular piece of float equipment for a given well. 3.2 Durability under downhole conditions Float equipment should still function after a fluid containing abrasive solids has been circulated through the equipment for a period of ti

33、me. The equipment should function in various orientations and while exposed to elevated temperatures and pressures. 3.3 Differential pressure capability from below Float equipment should be capable of withstanding a differential pressure with the higher pressure being exerted from below the check va

34、lve, because the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid occupying the annulus immediately after the cement has been placed is usually greater than the hydrostatic pressure of the corresponding column of fluid inside the casing, or while the casing is being run. 3.4 Ability to withstand force exerted thro

35、ugh cementing plugs from above Float equipment should be able to withstand a force exerted through cementing plugs from above. Some operators occasionally pressure-test the casing by increasing the pressure shortly after a cementing plug (top plug) used to separate the cement from the displacement f

36、luid has landed downhole. This can cause a force to be applied to the float equipment that could cause the equipment to fail. 3.5 Drillability of the equipment Float equipment should be easy to drill through, since in many cases, float equipment must be drilled out after cementing. 3.6 Ability to pa

37、ss lost circulation materials Float equipment may be required to allow easy passage of lost circulation material (LCM). On occasion, the fluid that is circulated through cementing float equipment contains LCM designed to bridge on highly permeable, vugular or fractured formations to lessen the amoun

38、t of fluid that is lost to the formations. Since float equipment generally provides a constricted flow area for fluid passage, there can be a tendency for the LCM to bridge on the float equipment valve and partially or totally block fluid circulation. Therefore, the ease with which the LCM can pass

39、through the float equipment may be a performance criterion for some wells. 3.7 Flow coefficient of the valve Since float equipment provides a constriction in the flow path, there will be a pressure loss associated with circulating fluid through the float valve. If the pressure loss through the float

40、 equipment is too high, circulation rates can be limited. In some cases, however, a large pressure loss is desirable to reduce free fall of the cement. The flow coefficient of the valve provides a means of estimating the pressure loss for a given fluid density and a given rate. 3.8 Reverse-flow resi

41、stance of casing fill-up valves One of the functions of casing fill-up float equipment is to reduce pressure surges as the casing is run by allowing flow into the casing from the bottom. Therefore, the resistance of the valve to reverse flow is indicative of the relative performance of the valve in

42、reducing surge pressure. EN ISO 10427-3:2004 (E) 54 Apparatus and materials 4.1 Flow loop 4.1.1 General Figure 1 shows a diagram of one possible configuration of a flow loop for durability testing. Other configurations are possible. The major components of the loop are the mud tank, the piping netwo

43、rk, the pump and the instrumentation. These components are discussed in the following paragraphs.

44、high-pressure line Figure 1 Suggested layout for cementing float equipment test flow loop 4.1.2 Mud tank It is suggested that the mud tank consist of two compartments, with each compartment capable of holding about 15,9 m 3(100 bbl) of fluid. Each compartment should be fitted with adequate agitation

45、 and mixing devices to ensure that the fluids remain well mixed. A valve should be arranged to allow communication between the compartments so that the volume of fluid in the active tank can be adjusted. This will facilitate temperature regulation during a test. A mud hopper should be arranged to fa

46、cilitate the mixing of mud chemicals. EN ISO 10427-3:2004 (E) 64.1.3 The piping network The piping network should consist of 101,6 mm to 152,4 mm (4 in to 6 in) diameter pipe and valves. It is suggested that the low-pressure portion of the piping network be rated to allow an operating pressure of at

47、 least 3 400 kPa (500 psi), and it is suggested that the high-pressure portion of the flow loop, as shown in Figure 1, be rated to at least 34 500 kPa (5 000 psi) working pressure. To facilitate testing fill-up type float equipment, it is suggested that the piping be laid out in such a manner that t

48、he flow direction through the float equipment can easily be changed. Both the high-pressure and the low-pressure portions of the flow loop should be equipped with pressure-release type safety valves. It is suggested that a portion of the low-pressure side of the flow loop be made from a flexible hos

49、e or an expansion joint to facilitate spacing out different length float equipment. 4.1.4 The pump A triplex pump is suggested as the primary pump for the flow loop. The pump should be capable of pumping at least 1,6 m 3 /min (10 bbl/min) and pressure testing to 34 500 kPa (5 000 psi). As an alternative, a centrifugal type pump may be used. However, this will necessitate the use of a s
