Fluid Loss Device
View pageUS Patent:
59097698, Jun 8, 1999
Filed:
Apr 10, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/058548
Inventors:
Peter A. Duhon - Harvey LA
Kennedy J. Brown - Marrero LA
Kennedy J. Brown - Marrero LA
Assignee:
Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. - Dallas TX
International Classification:
E21B 3312
US Classification:
166115
Abstract:
A fluid loss device has a housing, a seal assembly, a running tool, and a plug. The housing of the fluid loss device is placed in a production string before a well bore is completed. The plug is attached to the running tool, and the running tool is attached to a wash pipe. The fluid loss device is activated by lifting the wash pipe and the running tool, thereby engaging the plug with the seal assembly, engaging the seal assembly with the housing, and severing the plug from the running tool. Activation of the fluid loss device inhibits fluid communication through the fluid loss device and reduces damage to the well structure behind the fluid loss device while completion operations are performed in other areas of the well bore. The fluid loss device is deactivated by forcing the plug through the fluid loss device with mechanical force or pressure, or by chemically eroding the diameter of the plug until the plug passes through the fluid loss device. Once the fluid loss device is deactivated, the isolated area of the well bore is reopened for access through the production string.
