Title: System to control extrusion gaps in an anti-extrusion device

Description:
BACKGROUND 
     The present disclosure relates generally to retrievable bridge plugs used within a well, and more specifically to improvement of anti-extrusion functionalities of the retrievable bridge plugs when positioned in the well. 
     While completing a well, it may be beneficial at certain times to seal portions of the well from production or to generate temporary zonal isolation of portions of the well from a treatment procedure. For example, when performing a hydraulic fracturing operation in one zone within the well, it may be desirable to provide a retrievable bridge plug downhole from the treatment location to isolate portions of the well that have already been fractured from a subsequent hydraulic fracturing operation. 
     A high expansion retrievable bridge plug is particularly suited as a zonal isolation barrier for a workover process within the well. However, due to a high expansion nature of the high expansion retrievable bridge plug, clearance gaps between the plug and the well and between individual petals of an anti-extrusion device may be large. Due to the large clearance gaps, the high expansion retrievable bridge plug may not provide sufficient control over a sealing element of the high expansion retrievable bridge plug when exposed to high differential pressure. Additionally, debris located in wells with debris restrictions that limit an internal diameter of the well may impact operation of external mechanisms of the high expansion retrievable bridge plug.

In the following discussion and in the claims, the terms “including” and “comprising” are used in an open-ended fashion, and thus should be interpreted to mean “including, but not limited to”. Unless otherwise indicated, as used throughout this document, “or” does not require mutual exclusivity. 
     The present disclosure relates to a high expansion retrievable bridge plug that provides the ability to seal portions of a well from production or to temporarily seal zones of a well from treatment. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a high expansion retrievable bridge plug with one or more supportive sleeves on an anti-extrusion device of the plug and/or on a sealing element of the plug. The presently disclosed embodiments may be used in horizontal, vertical, deviated, or otherwise nonlinear wellbores in any type of subterranean formation. Further, the presently disclosed embodiments may be used in either onshore or offshore drilling operations. Embodiments may be implemented to anchor the retrievable bridge plug within the wellbore, or to provide a platform to hold other downhole tools such as a cement plug or a whipstock. 
     Referring to  FIG. 1 , a schematic illustration of a well  100  during installation of a high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  is provided. Installation of the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102 , as illustrated, is provided by a wireline system  104  that runs a wireline  106  through a wellhead  107  and downhole into the well  100  to position the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  and a downhole power unit  108  at a desired downhole location. While  FIG. 1  shows the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  and the downhole power unit  108  being deployed using the wireline system  104 , the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  and the downhole power unit  108  may also be deployed using coiled tubing systems, slickline systems, wireline tractor systems, or any other system suitable for placement of the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  within the well  100 . 
     A wellbore  110  of the well  100  includes a casing  112 . An internal diameter  114  of the casing  112  is larger than a diameter of the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  and the downhole power unit  108 . In an embodiment where the wellbore  110  undergoes a workover operation, debris  115  from the casing  112  or a formation  116  may cause portions of the wellbore  110  to include a reduced internal diameter  118 . Because of the potential for the presence of the reduced internal diameter  118 , the diameter of the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  and the downhole power unit  108  may be two or more inches smaller than the internal diameter  114  of the casing  112 . With a smaller diameter, the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  and the downhole power unit  108  are able to travel downhole within the wellbore  110  to a desired location to deploy the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102 . 
     When the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  reaches a desired location within the wellbore  110 , the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  is deployed to provide a plug between a zone uphole from the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  and a zone downhole from the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102 . The high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  transitions from a running state, as illustrated in  FIG. 1 , to a gripping state using the downhole power unit  108 . The downhole power unit  108  transmits an axial force with respect to a vertical axis running through a center of the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  in an uphole direction to an actuation rod that runs through the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102 . The axial force on the actuation rod results in compression of a sealing element of the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  that provides sealing contact between the sealing element and the casing  112 . By way of example, the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  may expand from the running configuration with a two and one eighth inch outer diameter to the gripping state having a diameter of approximately seven inches to provide a seal across the internal diameter  114  of the casing  112 . Other expansions larger and smaller than the expansion described above are also contemplated for the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102 . For example, while an expansion ratio of 3.3 is described above (e.g., 7 inches divided by 2.125 inches), expansion ratios of approximately 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0 are also contemplated. As used herein, approximately refers to a value within 10 percent of an indicated value. For example, the expansion ratio of approximately 2.0 covers a range of expansion ratios from 1.8 to 2.2. 
     The downhole power unit  108  may include an elongated housing, a motor disposed in the housing, and a sleeve connected to a rotor of the motor. The sleeve is a rotation member that rotates with the motor. A moveable member, such as the actuation rod described above, is received within a threaded interior of the sleeve. Operation of the motor rotates the sleeve, which causes the actuation rod to move in a longitudinal direction  120  or  122 . When the downhole power unit  108  causes the actuation rod to move in the longitudinal direction  120 , the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  is actuated to the gripping state. Alternatively, when the downhole power unit  108  causes the actuation rod to move in the longitudinal direction  122 , the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  is returned to the running state. 
     While  FIG. 1  provides a specific depiction of operations within a vertical portion of the well  100 , it is understood by those skilled in the art that the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  is equally well-suited for use in deviated wells, inclined wells, horizontal wells, multi-lateral wells, and the like. The use of directional term uphole refers to a direction within the well  100  toward the wellhead  107 , and the use of the directional term downhole refers to a direction within the well  100  toward a bottom  124  of the well  100 . Further, even though  FIG. 1  illustrates an onshore operation, it is understood by those skilled in the art that the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  is equally well-suited for use in offshore operations. Additionally, even though  FIG. 1  depicts the casing  112  within the wellbore  110 , the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  is equally well-suited for use in open hole operations. 
       FIG. 2  is a side view of an anti-extrusion device  200  of the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  while the anti-extrusion device  200  is in the running state. The anti-extrusion device  200  includes a shoulder  202  that to maintains contact with a downhole tool positioned uphole from the anti-extrusion device  200 . For example, with reference to  FIG. 1 , the shoulder  202  maintains contact with the sealing element of the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  when the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  is in both the running state and the gripping state. 
     The anti-extrusion device  200  also includes a plurality of anti-extrusion petals  204  positioned downhole from the shoulder  202 . The anti-extrusion petals  204  expand radially outward from a longitudinal axis  206  of the anti-extrusion device  200  to a diameter greater than a diameter  208  of the shoulder to engage walls of the casing  112  within the wellbore  110 . The anti-extrusion petals  204  expand radially outward when the anti-extrusion device  200  is actuated to the gripping state by uphole movement of an actuation rod  210 , which is positioned along the longitudinal axis  206  of the anti-extrusion device  200 . As the anti-extrusion device  200  is actuated into the gripping state, the anti-extrusion petals  204  expand radially outward from the anti-extrusion device  200 , and support arms  212  also expand radially outward to provide support to the anti-extrusion petals  204 . 
     In an embodiment, the anti-extrusion petals  204  may not extend radially outward an entire distance to engage the walls of the casing  112  or the wellbore  110 , and may instead extend radially outward to a position that is proximate to the walls of the casing  112  or the wellbore  110 . In such an embodiment, the anti-extrusion petals  204  provide a supporting platform for the sealing element to provide sufficient anti-extrusion support. As used herein, the term “proximate to” is used to indicate that the anti-extrusion petals  204  extend radially outward to a position that is within an inch of the casing  112  or the wellbore  110  on either side of the anti-extrusion petals  204 . It is also anticipated that, in other embodiments, the anti-extrusion petals  204  extend radially outward to a position that is within one-half inch, two inches, three inches, or more from the casing  112  or the wellbore  110  depending on the size of the casing  112 , the wellbore  110 , and/or the anti-extrusion petals  204 . 
     Turning to  FIG. 3 , an overhead view of the anti-extrusion device  200 , which is actuated to the gripping state, within the casing  112  of the well  100  is illustrated. The anti-extrusion device  200  includes an orifice  300  centered on the longitudinal axis  206 . The orifice  300  receives the actuation rod  206 , as discussed with reference to  FIG. 1 , which provides a force on the anti-extrusion device  200  to actuate the anti-extrusion petals  204  of the anti-extrusion device  200 . Upon actuation, the anti-extrusion petals  204  extend radially outward from the longitudinal axis  206  of the anti-extrusion device  200 . While in the gripping state, a wall gap  302  and a petal gap  304  may be present. The wall gap  302  may be created when the anti-extrusion petals  204  extend to an anti-extrusion diameter  306  that is slightly smaller than the internal diameter  114  of the casing  112 . The petal gap  304  is a gap between the anti-extrusion petals  204  when the anti-extrusion petals  204  are expanded. The wall gap  302  and the petal gaps  304  may provide paths for well fluids within the well  100  to pass through the anti-extrusion device  200  to the sealing element. As used herein, the term “well fluids” is used to describe both liquids and gases found within the well  100 . 
       FIG. 4  is a side view of the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  including the anti-extrusion device  200  within an expandable sleeve  400  and a sealing element  402 . The sealing element  402  is positioned between an uphole shoulder  404  of the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  and the anti-extrusion device  200 . The downhole motor  108 , as described with respect to  FIG. 1 , couples to a coupling point  406 , and provides actuating force on the actuation rod  206  to actuate the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  to the gripping state. The sealing element  402  is longitudinally compressed between the uphole shoulder  404  and the anti-extrusion petals  204  and the shoulder  202  of the anti-extrusion device  200 . In this manner, the sealing element  402  expands radially outward from the longitudinal axis  206  until the sealing element  402  reaches the casing  112  or a wall of the wellbore  110  to generate a sealing engagement between the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  and the casing  112  or a wall of the wellbore  110 . In an embodiment, an additional anti-extrusion device  200  with or without the expandable sleeve  400  is positioned uphole from the sealing element  402  such that the sealing element  402  is supported at both an uphole position and a downhole position by the anti-extrusion petals  204  and the shoulders  202  of the two anti-extrusion devices  200 . To achieve a desired longitudinal compression of the sealing element  402 , the sealing element  402  is formed from a polymer material such as an elastomer, a thermoset, a thermoplastic, or the like. As an example, the sealing element  402  may be polychloroprene rubber (CR), natural rubber (NR), polyether eurethane (EU), styrene budadiene rubber (SBR), ethylene propylene (EPR), ethylene propylene diene (EPDM), a nitrile rubber, a copolymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene (NBR), carboxylated acrylonitrile butadiene (XNBR), or any other polymer materials suitable to achieve the desired longitudinal compression. 
     The expandable sleeve  400  surrounding the anti-extrusion device  200  provides support for the anti-extrusion device  200  when the anti-extrusion device  200  is deployed to the gripping state. The expandable sleeve  400  is a nylon and rubber composite made by liquid injection molding, injection molding, compression molding, transfer molding, hand layup molding, or any combination thereof. Both the nylon and the rubber of the expandable sleeve  400  are compatible with wellbore fluid such that the nylon and the rubber does not degrade while in contact with wellbore fluid. By way of example, the nylon may be a synthetic polymer that is compatible with oil and gas within the well  100 . Additionally, the rubber may be hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR) or any other rubber material that is compatible with the oil and gas within the well  100 . In an embodiment, the expandable sleeve  400  may be made from at least 20% rubber. In another embodiment, the expandable sleeve  400  may be include between 25% and 95% nylon or carbon fiber. Further, in an embodiment, the expandable sleeve  400  may also comprise carbon fiber, composite cords, other materials, or a combination thereof, in addition to or in place of the nylon and rubber composite. Similar to the nylon and rubber composite material, the carbon fiber, composite cords, and any additional materials used in the expandable sleeve  400  are compatible with the oil and gas within the well  100 . 
     The expandable sleeve  400  is expandable such that the anti-extrusion device  200  is capable of extending to the gripping state while maintaining the presence of the expandable sleeve  400  around the anti-extrusion device  200 . During operation, the expandable sleeve  400  covers the petal gaps  304  between the anti-extrusion petals  204 . In an embodiment, the expandable sleeve  400  also limits the wall gap  302  between the anti-extrusion petals  204  and the casing  112  or the wall of the wellbore  110 . For example, if the anti-extrusion diameter  306  is 6.5 inches, and the internal diameter of the casing  112  is 7 inches, a thickness of the expandable sleeve  400  may be selected to cover the additional 0.5 inch wall gap  302 . 
     By reducing or eliminating the petal gaps  304  and the wall gap  302 , the expandable sleeve  400  minimizes exposure of the sealing element  402  to wellbore fluid, which may cause nibbling and extrusion at the sealing element  402  under a high differential pressure (e.g., a differential pressure of greater than approximately 2500 psi). Friction between the anti-extrusion petals  204  and the sealing element  402  is also reduced as the expandable sleeve  400 , in an embodiment, has a coefficient of friction that is less than a coefficient of friction of the anti-extrusion petals  204 . Moreover, the expandable sleeve  400  provides a physical barrier between debris within the well  100  and mechanical mechanisms of the anti-extrusion device  200 . Therefore, the expandable sleeve  400  prevents mechanical malfunctions resulting from debris in the well  100 . 
     To provide additional support to the anti-extrusion device  200  in the gripping state, the expandable sleeve  400  may include an additional layer of steel mesh or an additional layer of expandable fiber (e.g., expandable woven carbon fibers, expandable para-aramid synthetic fibers, etc.) in addition to the nylon and rubber composite. The additional layer of steel mesh or expandable fiber provides increased robustness of the expandable sleeve  400  to prevent rips or tears in the nylon and rubber composite of the expandable sleeve  400  as the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  is run in and out of the well  100 . Further, by increasing support provided to the anti-extrusion device  200  and reducing or eliminating the wall gap  302  and the petal gaps  304 , an operation envelope of the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  is expanded. For example, the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  that includes the expandable sleeve  400  may be capable of holding approximately 4000 psi applied from an uphole direction or a downhole direction on the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102 . 
       FIG. 5  is a side view of the anti-extrusion device  200  within the expandable sleeve  400  in the gripping state. In the illustrated gripping state, the anti-extrusion petals  204  are extended beneath the expandable sleeve  400 , and the expandable sleeve  400  expands with the anti-extrusion petals  204 . While the anti-extrusion device  200  is described above as a portion of the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102  to provide zonal isolation within the well  100 , the anti-extrusion device  200  is also available for use in other embodiments without the sealing element  402 . For example, the anti-extrusion device  200  is capable of providing an anchored platform within the wellbore  110  or the casing  112  to hold a cement plug (e.g., a through tubing bridge plug) and other wellbore barriers or downhole tools such as whipstocks or other isolation plugs. Additionally, the orifice  300  of the anti-extrusion device  200 , as depicted in  FIG. 3 , may provide a mechanical choke for wellbore fluid within the well  100 . As an example, when the expandable sleeve  400  is positioned around the anti-extrusion device  200 , the wellbore fluid is forced to travel uphole through the flow restricting orifice  300 . 
       FIG. 6  is a sectional view of an embodiment of the sealing element  402  taken from lines  6 - 6  of  FIG. 4 . The illustrated embodiment includes a pair of composite sleeves  600  provided over either end of the sealing element  402 . The composite sleeves  600  include reinforcement bands  602  with a parallel orientation to the longitudinal axis  206 . Linking bands  604  are provided around the reinforcement bands  602  to link the reinforcement bands  602  together. The reinforcement bands  602  are made with metallic or non-metallic bands (e.g., carbon fibers, glass fibers, aramids, or any combination thereof). Additionally, the linking bands  604  are made with metallic or non-metallic bands (e.g., carbon fibers, glass fibers, aramids, or any combination thereof). The linking bands  604  may be designed and built have a lower tensile strength than the reinforcement bands  602 . Accordingly, as the sealing element  402  is compressed, the linking bands  602  break to enable compression at the ends of the sealing element  402 , and the reinforcement bands  602  provide the sealing element  402  with greater stability under compression. In this manner, the reinforcement bands  602  provide an anti-extrusion support for the sealing element  402 , and the reinforcement bands  602  provide protection of the sealing element  402  from the anti-extrusion petals  204  of the anti-extrusion device  200 . In an embodiment, the composite sleeves  600  may be replaced by a single composite sleeve  600  traversing an entire length of the sealing element  402 . 
     The composite sleeves  600  may be included in embodiments when the anti-extrusion device  200  includes the expandable sleeve  400  or when the anti-extrusion device  200  does not include the expandable sleeve  400 . When the expandable sleeve  400  is not included, the composite sleeves  600  provide anti-extrusion support for the sealing element  402  that is lacking from the anti-extrusion device  200 . In such an embodiment, the sealing element  402  is able to maintain a seal with walls of the casing  112  or the wellbore  110  at a pressure of 4000 psi or more applied from an uphole direction or a downhole direction on the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  102 . In an embodiment where the expandable sleeve  400  is included on the anti-extrusion device  200 , use of the composite sleeves  600  provides additional support on the sealing element  402  and additional protection of the sealing element  402  when the sealing element  402  is under pressure. In such an embodiment, the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  200  may maintain a seal with walls of the casing  112  or the wellbore  110  under a high pressure applied from an uphole direction or a downhole direction on the high expansion retrievable bridge plug  200 . 
     In an embodiment, the composite sleeves  600  may also be used on other downhole tools within the well  100 . For example, the composite sleeves  600  may be included in packers, thru tubing bridge plugs, and any other wellbore sealing devices. These additional downhole tools may, for example, be tools with “swell” type elastomers. That is, elastomers that are longitudinally compressed to swell in a radially outward direction from the longitudinal axis  206 .
