TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present inventions relate to improvements in tools and methods used in subterranean wells used to manipulate downhole apparatus. More particularly the present inventions relate to a downhole fluid powered tool which can be placed in a well and utilizes downhole pressure differentials to power the tool and use it to manipulate downhole apparatus. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONS 
     Devices located downhole in a well that require downhole manipulation include packers, valves, side doors, and the like. Some of these devices are pressure actuated or manipulated. For example production packers are run in a well and moved from an unset to a set condition by temporarily plugging the production tubing and thereafter increasing the tubing pressure to move a piston in the packer assembly. Setting pressures are limited by the capacity of the available pumping equipment and by the safety pressure ratings of the surface equipment and production tubing. It is not unusual to find well operators that limit surface and tubing pressures on their wells to 3000 to 4000 psi for use in setting downhole equipment. In such wells as those requiring larger bore hydraulic set packers with resultant small setting-piston areas, surface pressure limitations can result in setting forces so low that the performance of the packer may be compromised. Although more expensive specially designed packers such as those with dual setting pistons can be used, the associated increased costs are undesirable. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONS 
     The present inventions contemplate an improved well tool actuator and method does not require more expensive downhole equipment and can be utilized with limited actuation pressures. 
     According to the improved well tool actuator and method of the present inventions, a fluid pressure intensifier, is placed in the well and coupled to the downhole device to be manipulated. Fluid pressure intensifiers are devices that are powered from a supplied pressurized fluid to produce a supply of fluid of higher pressure than the supplied pressurized fluid. Typically intensifiers have oscillating internal pistons or the like that produce a supply of fluid at a pressure increase of one point two times to twenty times the fluid supply pressure. By using a fluid pressure intensifier the actuation pressure can be increased to a pressure sufficient to operate or manipulate the downhole device without the necessity of increasing the tubing pressure. According to the present invention the actuation pressures supplied by the intensifier can exceed the safe operating rated pressures of the well tubings and equipment. The well tool actuators of the present invention are self-contained in that they are powered from the tubing fluid pressure itself without a high-pressure hydraulic or electrical connection to the surface. 
     According to the present inventions, subterranean hydraulically actuated well tools can be actuated at higher pressures than the supplied pressure. Fluid pressure intensifiers circuits can be assembled in and carried downhole with the actuation tool and removed once the actuation process is complete. Also, fluid pressure intensifier circuits can be assembled as a part of the well tool and operated remotely

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     The present inventions are described by reference to drawings showing one or more examples of: how the inventions can be made and used. In these drawings, reference characters are used throughout the several views to indicate like or corresponding parts. 
     In FIG. 1, a typical fluid schematic for a single action oscillating pump intensifier is illustrated. Intensifiers of this type can be obtained from Sherex Industries of Lancaster, N.Y. as model numbers HC 2-6. Intensifier  10  uses an oscillating pump unit incorporating a low-pressure piston LP, a high-pressure piston HP and a bistable reversing valve BV 1 . 
     When hydraulic fluid at system pressure is supplied to port S, fluid first flows freely past check valve KV 1 , into Vol. 1, past check valve KV 2  through high pressure output port H. The term “port” is used herein in a broad generic sense to indicate a location in the flow path rather than any particular structure or shape. At this point all fluid flowing into the intensifier flows through the intensifier and out the high-pressure output port H. If for example the high pressure port H is connected to the chamber of a piston-cylinder actuator assembly, the actuator will move because of the supply of pressurized fluid at port H. When the actuator meets sufficient resistance to stall out, pressure will increase in the high-pressure port H to equal the supply pressure. At that point, check valve KV 1  will close and fluid from port S will accumulate in Vol. 1. The bistable valve BV 1  connects Vol. 2 to Vol. 3. As pressure is applied to Vol. 1, the pistons LP and HP will move down. During downward movement of the pistons, fluid is forced from Vol. 2, through bistable valve BV 1 , through Vol. 3 and out discharge or return port R. Simultaneously, as Vol. 1 expands from the downward piston movement fluid from port S fills Vol. 1. 
     When the pistons are completely down, pilot string  1  is pressurized. This causes the bistable valve BV 1  to change position and connect the fluid supply port S and Vol. 2. The pressurized fluid supplied through port S to Vol. 2 causes the pistons LP and HP to move upward. The upward piston movement compresses the fluid in Vol. 1 and causes it to flow through the check valve KV 2  and out port H. This pumping action of the pistons delivers fluid at port H at a higher pressure than supply pressure at port S. Once the high-pressure piston HP has moved fully up, pilot string  1  causes bistable valve BV 1  to shift to its original position to restart the cycle. The cycle is repeated until the required pressure has been established. 
     The pressure supplied at port H is determined by the ratio of the area of the low-pressure piston LP divided by the area of the high-pressure piston HP. In some intensifiers ratios of as high as twenty to one have been achieved. This supply of higher-pressure fluid through port H can be used to move an actuator that would have stalled at the lower supply pressure. For example, where fluid is supplied at three thousand psi the intensifier can be used to raise the supply pressure to as much as sixty thousand psi. 
     Intensifiers of the type described above operate in two steps or stages. In the first step fluid at supply pressure flows at a relatively high volume through the device to the output port H and in turn to any actuator connected thereto. When the actuator encounters sufficient resistance to stall out at supply pressure the intensifier begins the second step or stage where pumping begins. In this second step, fluid is supplied at a lower rate but at a higher pressure to further move the stalled out actuator and complete the actuation cycle. In the second step or stage the intensifier divides the fluid into two components, a high-pressure component at outlet port H and a low-pressure component at return port R. 
     The present inventions utilize intensifiers in tools and methods for fluid actuation of downhole well equipment. In FIGS. 2A-2C, the fluid schematics for three well configurations using fluid pressure intensifiers  10  are illustrated for use with variable volume piston-cylinder actuated equipment such as packer  20 . Conventional packer assemblies and other hydraulically actuated downhole tools have both annular and cylindrical piston-cylinder assemblies. When actuating fluid is supplied to the variable volume in the cylinder the piston and cylinder telescope and provide an actuation force to manipulate the packer. Although described herein with respect to downhole hydraulically actuated packers the present inventions are applicable to other types of hydraulically actuated tools. The systems of FIGS. 2A-2C can be used with tubing supply pressures of three thousand psi or lower and can provide actuation pressures as high as sixty thousand psi to the down hole tool without subjecting the tubing string to these higher pressures. 
     In FIG. 2A the supply port S of intensifier  10  is open to production tubing pressure TP. An optional valve  30  can be used to open or close off port S as is well known in the art. The return port R is open to a lower pressure source such as the annulus between the casing and production tubing (not shown) or a segment of the tubing closed off by a plug (not shown). The high-pressure output port H connected to the variable volume piston-cylinder assembly of packer  20  by a fluid connection  40 . Connection  40  can comprise suitable placed packing and ports or other types of downhole releasable connections well known in the art. A check valve  50  (in addition to KV 2 ) can be positioned in the packer  20 . 
     According to the methods of the present invention, intensifier  10  is carried downhole as part of a downhole tool to a location adjacent the packer  20  and connected thereto through connection  40 . As will be described the return port R is also connected to a low-pressure source. After valve  30  is opened, intensifier  10  supplies tubing pressure TP to the packer  20  until the packer  20  stalls out and then operates to supply higher pressure fluid to complete the actuation of the packer  20 . 
     In FIG. 2B the fluid system is similar except a hydraulic fluid supply reservoir  60  is carried by the tool and is connected to output port H. Supply  60  consists of a chamber filled with hydraulic fluid  70  with a piston or diaphragm  80  below the fluid. As well fluid is supplied from port H to the space below piston  80 , piston  80  is forced to move upward pumping hydraulic fluid  60  though connection  40  and into the actuator of packer  20 . In this configuration the packer is isolated from tubing fluids. 
     FIG. 2C the supply  60  is connected between the tubing fluid inlet TP and the intensifier supply port S. As tubing fluid enters supply  60 , hydraulic fluid  70  is supplied to port S. In this configuration both the intensifier and the packer actuator are isolated from well fluids. 
     In FIG. 3 a well tool assembly  100  according to the present invention is shown in a subterranean location in the tubing  102  of a cased well  104 . In the illustrated embodiment tool  100  is a wire line tool used to set a tubing packer. It is envisioned that the tool  100  could be positioned in the well using means other than wire line such as coil and other tubing and the like. For purposes of illustration the tool  100  is shown manipulating a hydraulically actuated tubing packer, but it is to be understood that the teachings of the present inventions apply to other types of hydraulically actuated tools. 
     Tool  100  has a body  106  shown in contact with landing nipple  108 . In the illustrated embodiment upper, center and lower V-packing assemblies  110 ,  112  and  114 , respectively, are axially spaced on the exterior of the body  106  for sealing against the interior wall of tubing  102 . These V-packing assemblies define two closed annular chambers  116  and  118 . 
     The supply, return, and high-pressure ports on intensifier  100  are connected to external ports ST, RT, and HT respectively on the tool body  106 . Supply port ST is open to the tubing fluid supply above packing  110 . Port ST forms the flow path, for pressurized fluids in the tubing to enter the intensifier. Port RT is open to chamber  116  and to the tubing-casing annulus  103  through a port  120  in the wall of tubing  102 . Annulus  103  forms a lower pressure area for return fluids leaving port RT. 
     Port HT is open to chamber  118  and to the chamber  122  in packer element  124 , of actuator  126 . A port  128  is formed in the wall of tubing  102  to connect port HT and chamber  122 . Ports HT and  128  provide a flow path for high-pressure fluids pumped form the intensifier  10  in well tool  100 . 
     Although not shown it is to be understood that ports  120  and  128  can be closed by sleeves or the like (not shown) that are opened when the well tool  100  is landed on the landing nipple  108  in a manner well known in the industry. 
     In operation, well tool  100  is lowered or pumped down the tubing  102  to contact the landing nipple  108 . The tool  100  and its packing connects port RT to port  120  and port HT to port  128 . The fluid pressure in tubing  102  is next increased. Initially the fluid pressure from tubing  102  flows to the intensifier  10  thought port ST and through the intensifier to the actuator  126  through port HT. As the packer meets sufficient resistance the intensifier  10  begins the next step to pump fluid at a pressure higher than tubing fluid pressure to the actuator. Once the packer is completely set wire line  130  or other means can be used to remove the tool  100  from the well. In this manner downhole hydraulically actuated equipment can be manipulated at pressures higher than tubing pressure limits. 
     In FIG. 4 an alternative embodiment of the well tool  100  A of the present invention is illustrated. In this embodiment the center V-packer, element  112  and port  120  are eliminated. Discharge of return fluid is through the port RT in the bottom of the tool  100  A. Port RT communicates with the interior of the tubing  102  below the lower V-packing  114 . In operation, tubing  102  is pressurized once the tool  100  A is in place on landing nipple  108 . Pressurized fluid enters the port ST and is conducted to port S on intensifier  112 . Intensifier  112  supplies high-pressure fluid to the packer actuator  126  through ports H, HT and  128 . Return fluid exits intensifier from port R and RT to the tubing below the tool  100  A. 
     In FIG. 5 the intensifier  10  is connected to the tubing  102  and is installed in the well with the tubing. A port  140  is formed in the wall of the tubing and is connected to the supply port S on the intensifier  10 . A suitable closure sleeve C for the port  140  can be provided and opened as required such as in conventional down hole hydraulically operated equipment such as packers. Although the intensifier is illustrated as having a cylindrical piston, it is anticipated that the intensifier could be formed with annular pistons and cylinders similar to those used in conventional packers and could be integrally formed in the downhole tool such as a packer. The high-pressure output port H of the intensifier  10  is connected to the chamber  122  of the packer actuator  126 . The return port R of the intensifier  10  is vented to the annulus  103 . In operation, a plug  142  is set in a conventional manner on landing nipple  108 . Plug  142  has V-packing or the like which seals against the interior of the tubing. Typically, the plug has means for opening the port  140  to connect the supply port S on the intensifier  10  to the interior of the tubing  102  above the plug. As described above in reference to other figures the intensifier will first convey pressurized tubing fluid to the packer actuator and when it stalls, will pump higher-pressure fluid to packer actuator to complete the actuation process. Once the packer is actuated, plug  142  is pulled from the well and  140  is preferably closed with a sliding sleeve or the like as is well known in the art. 
     Although the tools and actuation systems of FIGS. 3-5 were illustrated and described using the simple intensifier system of FIG. 2A, it is intended that the systems of FIGS. 3-5 could use the hydraulic supply tanks of FIGS. 2B and 2C. The tanks could be mounted on and carried downhole with the tool or could be installed with the downhole equipment to be hydraulically actuated. 
     The embodiments shown and described above are only exemplary. Many details are often found in the art such as: valves, connectors, packers, intensifiers, ports and the like. Therefore many such details are neither shown nor described. It is not claimed that all of the detail parts, elements, or steps described and shown were invented herein.

The limits of the inventions and the bounds of the patent protection are measured by and defined in the following claims.
