Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a downhole bypass tool that includes an inlet for receiving fluid into a housing of the bypass tool. The bypass tool also includes a flow directing apparatus disposed in the housing for directing fluid to flow into an operational flow path of a vibratory tool. The vibratory tool is at least partially disposed within the hosing of the bypass tool. The flow directing apparatus operates selectively bypass the operational flow path of the vibratory tool such that the fluid bypasses the operational flow path of the vibratory tool and flows out of an outlet of the bypass tool.
Claims29
A downhole tool, the tool comprising:
- an inlet for receiving fluid into a housing of the downhole tool;
- and
- a flow directing apparatus disposed in the housing for directing fluid to flow into an operational flow path of a vibratory tool at least partially disposed within the housing of the downhole tool to operate the vibratory tool and for selectively bypassing the operational flow path of the vibratory tool such that the fluid bypasses the operational flow path of the vibratory tool and flows out of an outlet of the tool.
A downhole tool, the tool comprising:
- an inlet for receiving fluid into a housing of the downhole tool;
- and
- a flow directing apparatus disposed in the housing, the flow directing apparatus having a first position and a second position, the flow directing apparatus in the first position directs fluid to flow into an operational flow path of a vibratory tool at least partially disposed within the housing of the downhole tool to operate the vibratory tool and the flow directing apparatus in the second position causes the fluid to bypass the operational flow path of the vibratory tool.
A method, the method comprising:
- running a bottom hole assembly (BHA) into a well, the bottom hole assembly including a vibratory tool disposed above a perforator in the BHA;
- pumping fluid to an operational flow path of the vibratory tool to operate the vibratory tool;
- and
- pumping abrasive fluid through the operational flow path of the vibratory tool to the perforator to create perforations in the well.
A method, the method comprising:
- running a bottom hole assembly (BHA) into a well, the bottom hole assembly including a vibratory tool disposed below a perforator in the BHA;
- pumping fluid through the perforator to an operational flow path of the vibratory tool to operate the vibratory tool;
- and
- prohibiting the flow of fluid through a bottom portion of the perforator and redirecting the flow of fluid to nozzles disposed in the perforator to perforate the well.
