    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    1. Field of the Invention
    The present invention relates, in general, to the design of sliding sleeve valves. In particular aspects, the present invention relates to systems and methods for fixing a sliding sleeve valve in an open or closed position.
    2. Description of the Related Art
    Sliding sleeve valves are used extensively in hydrocarbon production wellheads. A sliding sleeve valve generally includes an outer shell that defines a central flow hole. The housing has one or more lateral fluid flow holes defined therein. A sleeve element is disposed within the flow hole and is axially movable with respect to the housing between a first position, in which the one or more lateral fluid holes are blocked, and a second position, in which the one or more orifices fluid are opened.
    In situations where a glove valve is incorporated into a production pipe column or other work column, electric wire profiling tools are often lowered through the center of these columns to perform operations under the glove valve. These tools may inadvertently displace the sleeve inside the sleeve valve, which is not desirable.
    SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
    The devices and methods of the present invention provide systems and methods for locking a sliding sleeve valve in an open position and / or a closed position in order to prevent inadvertent operation of the sleeve valve during these operations.
    In a preferred embodiment, a sliding sleeve mechanism includes a sleeve housing that defines an axial flow hole. One or more

    2/13 that radially surrounds the enclosure. A sliding sleeve element is slidably disposed within the flow hole of the sleeve housing and becomes movable between a first position, in which the side fluid communication holes are unlocked by the sleeve to allow fluid communication between the crown annular and the axial flow hole, and a second position, in which fluid communication between the annular crown and the flow hole is not allowed through the holes,
    In various embodiments, the sliding sleeve mechanism is operatively associated with a locking device that is operable in order to secure the sleeve element in the open and / or closed positions. The locking device includes a casing hole portion with one or more locking slots. The locking device also includes a sliding sleeve mandrel that is fixed or integrally formed with the sliding sleeve element. The sliding sleeve mandrel includes a plurality of radially outwardly extending mandrel fingers that are formed and sized to lodge within the lock grooves of the casing hole portion.
    The locking device also includes a mandrel locking member that is radially accommodated within the sliding sleeve mandrel. In one embodiment, the mandrel locking element is a sleeve that includes an annular body with one or more mandrel fingers extending therefrom. The mandrel fingers have tabs that project outwardly in a radial direction and are accommodated within a number of channels formed within an inner radial surface of the sliding sleeve mandrel. In this embodiment, a clamp element is retained within an opening in the sliding sleeve mandrel. The movement of the chuck locking element in relation to the sliding sleeve chuck pushes the clamping element radially outwards and into one of the surrounding locking slots, thereby fixing the sliding sleeve chuck in place within the housing. surrounding. When the clamp element moves in the radial direction inward, it will operationally interconnect the sliding sleeve mandrel and the mandrel lock element with each other.
    3/13
    Another embodiment is described, in which the sliding sleeve mandrel includes mandrel fingers that project in opposite axial directions. The chuck locking element is an annular sleeve that can move axially within the sliding sleeve chuck to positions where the body of the chuck locking element retains one or more chuck fingers of the sliding sleeve chuck within a groove. lock selected within the casing hole portion.
    The locking device can be operated using a deflection tool that can fit into the portions of the mandrel locking element and move it axially with respect to the surrounding housing. The shift tool preferably includes a locking profile that selectively fits the chuck locking element. As the mandrel locking element moves within the housing, it also moves the surrounding sliding sleeve mandrel and the sliding sleeve element fixed between the open and closed positions. The movement of the chuck locking element in relation to the sliding sleeve chuck causes the sliding sleeve chuck to be locked or unlocked.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
    As used in the present invention, the terms up, down, top, bottom, up, down, upward, downward, as well as other terms and their derivations, refer to relative positions or orientations, rather than of absolutes. Those skilled in the art will understand that the various components and assemblies used in the described slide sleeve lock assemblies can be inverted within a slide sleeve valve and still provide the desired function.
    Figure 1 illustrates a portion of an exemplary wellhead 10 which has been drilled into the earth 12 and which has been lined with housing 14. A column of production tubes 16 is shown disposed within the wellhead 10. An annular crown 18 is radially defined between the production tube column 16 and the housing 14. The production tube column 16 can be made up of a number of sections of production tubes, of a type known in the art, which are interconnected to each other in an end-to-end shape. The sections can be interconnected through threaded connections or by means of connection collars or in other ways known in the art. Alternatively, the production tube column 16 can be formed of coiled tubes, of a type known in the art. An axial central flow hole 20 is defined along the inside of the production pipe column 16.
    A sliding sleeve valve 22 is incorporated into the production pipe column 16 in a manner known in the art. The sliding sleeve valve 22 is typically used as a production spout that can be selectively opened to allow production fluids to enter the wellhead 10 from the surrounding hydrocarbon support formations to be drained into the well. flow hole 20 of the production tube column 16 and pumped to the mouth surface
    6/13 of well 10. If desired, the sliding sleeve valve 22 can be axially isolated from other portions of the wellhead 10 by means of seals (not shown), which are positioned inside the annular crown 18 of the wellhead 10 The sliding sleeve valve 22 has an outward radial housing 24 with lateral fluid flow holes 26 disposed therethrough. The side holes 26 allow fluid communication between the annular crown 18 and the inside of the sleeve 24 of the sleeve valve 22, so that the fluid entering the valve 22 can be drained to the wellhead surface 10 through the borehole. flow 20. The sliding sleeve valve 22 also includes a sliding sleeve element 28 that is slidably disposed within the housing 24 and, as is well known in the art, moves between a first closed position, in which the sleeve element 28 blocks holes 26 against fluid flow, and a second open position, in which fluid flow is allowed through holes 26.
    The sliding sleeve valve 22 incorporates a sliding sleeve valve lock assembly, generally indicated with the numerical reference 30, which is able to fix the valve 22 in its closed and / or open position. In general, the lock assembly includes a lock hole portion in an outer housing having one or more lock grooves formed therein. The locking assembly also includes a sliding sleeve mandrel, which is attached to or integrally formed with the sliding sleeve element 28, and a mandrel locking element that is housed in the radial direction within the sliding sleeve mandrel. In the preferred embodiments, the locking mechanism is activated using a bypass tool 29, which is visible in figure 1, and is arranged within the flow hole 20 of the production pipe column 16. The construction and operation of the locking sets copies will be described in greater detail with respect to figures 2 and following.
    Figure 2 illustrates a locking hole portion 31 of the inner surface 32 of the slide sleeve valve housing 24 separate from the other valve components 22. The inner surface 32 has an upper tie groove 34 and a lower lock groove 38, both inserted in
    7/13 same. Secondary upper and lower tie grooves 38, 39, respectively, are also inserted inside the inner surface 32.
    Figure 3 illustrates an exemplary sliding sleeve lock assembly 40 that is located within the sliding sleeve valve housing 24. Lock assembly 40 includes a sliding sleeve mandrel element 42, which is housed within the bore portion locking element 31 of housing 24. The sliding sleeve mandrel element 42 is shown in greater detail in figures 6 and 7, the same being shown separately from the other components of the locking assembly 40. The sliding sleeve mandrel element 42 it has a generally cylindrical body 44 with a clip opening 46 disposed therethrough. Above the clamp opening 46 there is a plurality of vertically arranged slits 48 which are made along the body 44. In addition, a number of generally U-shaped slots 50 are made in the body 44 in order to define fingers of mandrel extending downward 52. The lower end of each of the fingers 52 has flaps extending radially outward 54. In addition, a smaller flap extending radially outward 56 extends over the periphery of the body 44.
    The inner radial surface 58 of the mandrel element 42 (shown in figure 7) has a flange that extends inwardly in the radial direction 60 at the upper axial end 62. Upper and lower annular channels 64 and 66, respectively, are formed on the inner surface 58 below flange 60. A radially inward flap 68 extends from the bottom end of each finger 52.
    The locking set 40 also includes an annular mandrel locking element 70 that is radially housed within the sliding sleeve mandrel element 42. Figures 8 and 9 illustrate the mandrel locking element 70 separate from the other components of the locking set. lock 40. The chuck lock member 70 includes a generally cylindrical base ring 72 with a plurality of chuck fingers extending axially 74. The base ring 72 is corrugated so that the inner radial surface 76 of the base ring 72 has a directed contact shoulder
    8/13 upwards 78. The outer radial surface 80 of the base ring 72 defines an annular staple recess 82 which is bounded by the chamfered shoulders 84. A staple element 86 lodges within the staple recess 82 and the staple opening 46 of the sliding sleeve mandrel element 42. The upper ends of the mandrel fingers 74 each have a radially inwardly directed flange 88, which has an axially downward shoulder 90. In addition, the fingers of mandrel 74 each have a flange that protrudes outwardly in the radial direction 92, which is formed and dimensioned so as to accommodate within annular channels 64 or 68 in a complementary manner.
    Figures 10 and 11 illustrate in more detail the exemplary deflection tool 29 that can be used to drive the lock assembly 40. The deflection tool 29 has a rounded front end 94 and a generally cylindrical body 96 with a plurality of axial slots 98 arranged through the body 96 in an angularly spaced relationship over the body 96 to form a series of substantially parallel ribs 100. Each rib 100 is provided with a locking profile extending radially outward 102 which is formed so as to have a first deviation shoulder directed in the axial direction 104 and a second deviation shoulder 106, which is directed in the opposite axial direction of the first shoulder 104.
    In operation, the bypass tool 29 can be used to move the sleeve element 28 between the open and closed positions, as well as actuate the lock set 40 between the locked and unlocked configurations. When the lock assembly 40 is in a locked configuration, the sleeve element 28 is secured against inadvertent movement with respect to the surrounding housing 24, thereby making it unlikely that the slide sleeve valve 22 will be operated inadvertently. Figure 3 illustrates the sleeve valve 22 in an open position so that a fluid can enter the flow hole 20 of the production pipe column 16 from the annular crown 18. In addition, figure 3 shows the lock assembly 40 in an unlocked configuration. The flaps 54 of the chuck element
    9/13 sliding sleeve 42 are located inside recess 38. Flaps 56 are located inside recess 34.
    In order to move the sleeve valve 22 and the lock assembly 40 from the unlocked open position shown in figure 3 to the unlocked closed configuration shown in figure 4, the bypass tool 29 is arranged inside the flow hole 32 and moves to down until the deflection shoulder 106 of the deflection tool 29 engages the contact shoulder 78 of the chuck locking element 70, as shown in dotted lines in figure 4. An additional movement of the deflection tool 29 in the direction of the arrow 108 in figure 4 causes the mandrel locking element 70 to move axially in that direction. The movement of the chuck locking element 70 in the direction of arrow 108 will also cause the sliding sleeve chuck element 42 to move due to the presence of the clamp element 88, which operationally interconnects the sliding sleeve chuck element 42 to the mandrel locking element 70. As the sliding sleeve mandrel element 42 is axially driven, the fingers 52 are deflected radially inward by sliding, making an interaction between the outwardly extending flaps 54 and the angled side surfaces from recess 38. The flaps 58 are also internally deflected out of the groove 34. As a result, the sliding sleeve mandrel element 42 is free to move axially within the housing 24 until it reaches the unlocked closed position shown in figure 4 .
    When the sliding sleeve mandrel element 42 moves to the position shown in figure 4, the flaps that extend outward 54 of the fingers 52 fit into the tie groove 39. It should be noted that, in this position, the locking element clamp 88 is located adjacent to the lower groove 36. Another axial force on the mandrel locking element 70 will cause the clamp element 86 to move outwards radially by sliding, making an inclined contact from the chamfered shoulder 84 for the groove 36. As shown in figure 5, the radial movement out of the clamp element 86 loosens the interlock between the chuck locking element 70 and the sliding sleeve chuck element
    10/13
    42. The mandrel locking element 70 may, in this case, move axially with respect to the sliding sleeve mandrel element 42. The flaps 92 on the mandrel fingers 74 will slide out of the upper annular channel 64 over the sliding sleeve mandrel 42 and will fit into the lower annular channel 66. This will secure the mandrel lock element 70 in a position where the outer radial surface 80 of the base ring 72 retains the clip element 88 within the groove 36. This is the locked closed position in which the sliding sleeve valve 22 is locked in a closed position depending on the clamp element 86 and the location of the flaps 54 within the lock groove 39. It can be seen that when the flaps 92 of the chuck locking element 70 are located in the upper channel 84, this corresponds to an unlocked position, in which the clamping element 86 can move in the radial direction inwards so as to partially lodge within the clip recess 82 in the mandrel locking element 70 and the sliding sleeve mandrel element 42 is unlocked and free to move with respect to the surrounding housing 24. In contrast, when the tabs 92 of the mandrel locking element 70 are located in the lower channel 66, this corresponds to a locked position, in which the clamping element 86 moves radially outwards so as to partially lodge within the groove 36 and the sliding sleeve mandrel element 42 is locked against movement in relation to the surrounding envelope 24.
    In order to deflect the sliding sleeve valve 22 again out of the locked closed position to an open position, the deflection tool 29 moves axially within the sliding sleeve valve housing 24 and moves until the deflection shoulder 104 of the deflection profile 102 fits on the shoulder 90 of the chuck locking element 70. The chuck locking element 70 is pulled upward, and the tabs 92 of the chuck locking element 70 move out of the lower channel 66 and back to the upper channel 64 of the sliding sleeve valve housing 24 (i.e., to the position shown in figure 4). The clamp element 86, in this case, is free to move in the radial direction towards
    11/13 and out of the lock groove 36 in the housing 24. Another upward movement of the bypass tool 29 causes the chuck locking element 70 and the sliding sleeve chuck element 42 operatively connected in the direction upward in housing 24. Lock set 40, in this case, returns to the unlocked open position shown in figure 3.
    Those skilled in the art will recognize that the glove valve 22 can be constructed so that the open and closed positions of the sliding glove valve 22 can be reversed, differently from what is described herein. In other words, the sleeve valve 22 can be in an open position when the lock assembly 40 is in the lower position shown in figures 4 and 5. In contrast, the sleeve valve 22 can be in a closed position when the assembly locking device 40 is in the upper position shown in figure 3.
    Figures 12 to 16 illustrate an alternative sliding sleeve lock assembly 120, which is constructed in accordance with the present invention and associated with a sliding sleeve valve 22, as described above. The lock assembly 120 includes an outer shell 24 'that defines a lock hole portion 31 having an upper tie groove 34' and a lower tie groove 36 '(visible in figures 15 and 16). In this embodiment, the grooves 38 'and 39' are smaller grooves than the tie grooves 34 ', 36'. The sliding sleeve mandrel element 42 'is, like the sliding sleeve mandrel 42, operationally attached to the sleeve element 28 of the sliding sleeve valve 22. The sliding sleeve mandrel element 42' is provided with bi-directional mandrel fingers. 52a and 52b. Chuck fingers 52a extend upwardly towards the upper axial end 62 of the sliding sleeve chuck element 42 '. Chuck fingers 52b extend downwardly outward from upper axial end 62. Flaps 54 extend radially outwardly from the distal end of each chuck finger 52a, 52b, and inwardly directed flaps 88 extend radially inwardly from the distal end of the mandrel fingers 52a, 52b. The smaller flaps 58 also project in the direction
    12/13 radial outward from each of the mandrel fingers 52a, 52b.
    The mandrel locking element 70 'is generally cylindrical in shape and is radially housed within the sliding sleeve mandrel element 42'. The mandrel locking element 70 'has an outer radial surface 122. Preferably, the outer radial surface 122 has protrusions outwardly in the upper and lower radial direction 124, 126. In addition, the mandrel locking element 70' has a inner radial surface 128 having an upward facing shoulder 130 and a downward facing shoulder 132.
    In operation, the locking arrangement 120 can be moved by means of the bypass tool 29 between an open locked configuration, which is shown in figure 12, and a closed locked configuration, which is illustrated in figure 16. In figure 12, the sleeve element 28 is positioned within the surrounding housing 24 'in a location that corresponds to an open condition for the sleeve valve 22. The fixed sleeve sleeve mandrel element 42' is locked in position within the locking hole portion 31 of the housing 24 'depending on the location of the flaps 54 within the tie groove 34'. The mandrel locking element 70 'is located within the sliding sleeve mandrel element 42' such that the outer radial surface 122 is in contact with the inwardly projecting tabs 68 of each of the extended mandrel fingers upward 52a. As a result, the outwardly protruding flaps 54 are locked into the groove 34 '. In addition, the tabs 56 of each of the mandrel fingers 52a are accommodated within the groove 38 '. Figure 13 shows that the bypass tool 29 has moved to the locking arrangement 120 until the engaging shoulder 106 of the bypass tool 29 engages with the engaging shoulder 130 of the chuck locking element 70 '. In figure 13, the deflection tool 29 has moved the chuck locking element 70 'downward in the direction of arrow 134 so that the sliding sleeve chuck element 42' is no longer locked into the groove 34 '.
    Figure 14 shows the locking arrangement 120 at another point during the deviation in which the protrusion 128 contacts the flap 68 of the locking element.
    13/13 sliding sleeve mandrel 42 'so that the downward movement of the mandrel locking member 70' also displaces the surrounding sliding sleeve mandrel element 42 'in a downward direction.
    In figure 15, the locking arrangement 120 is moved to a configuration in which the sleeve element 28 now stops the flow of fluid through the valve 22. In this configuration, the flaps projecting outward 54 from each of the mandrel fingers 52b are aligned with and engage externally in the lower tie groove 36 'in order to position the sliding sleeve mandrel element 42' in the appropriate location within the housing 24 '. When this happens, further downward movement of the sliding sleeve mandrel element 42 'with respect to the surrounding housing 24' is stopped. As the deflection tool 29 moves further down, the mandrel locking element 70 'will move to the position shown in figure 16, in which the outer radial surface 122 contacts the tabs 68 in order to retain the tabs extending outwardly 54 into the groove 36 '. The bypass tool 29 can now be removed from the lock assembly 120 by moving in an upward direction.
    It is to be understood that the locking arrangement 120 is capable of securely securing the sliding sleeve valve 22 in an open position (that is, in the locked open position of figure 12), as well as in the closed position (that is, in the position closed lock of figure 16).
