  • the flow tube configured to rotate within other components of the barrier without imparting rotational torque to the actuator or the other components.
  • a barrier includes a flow tube axially positionable by an actuator of the barrier and rotationally independent of other components of the barrier.
  • a drilling barrier valve for a downhole operation including a housing; a valve member; a flow tube in operable communication with the valve member; an alignment component rotationally fixed to the housing a spring in operable communication with the flow tube and the housing; isolation components operable to isolate rotational movement of the flow tube from the housing, valve member, and spring.
  • a method of drilling through a barrier including running a drill string through a barrier having a structure such that a flow tube of the barrier is rotationally independent of other components of the barrier; and decoupling any rotational input imparted to the flow tube from the drill string from other components of the barrier.
  • Figure 1 is a cross sectional view of a barrier in accordance with the teachings hereof;
  • Figure 1A is an enlarged section of Figure 1 to show details of the spring coupling
  • Figure 2 is a view showing the section of a tubular that is represented in Figure 1 ;
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of a portion of the barrier of Figure 1 with some components rendered translucent to better illustrate some aspects of the barrier.
  • FIG 1 it is initially to be appreciated that the view is somewhat unusual in that it illustrates as a 180 section what is actually a 270 degree section. That is, a tubular form is presented on its side and a quarter section is removed therefrom. Then the cross sections through the tubular are presented flat on the page. Please refer to Figure 2 for a schematic of the section illustrated in Figure 1.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a barrier 10 that is configured to reduce or eliminate damage to the barrier from rotating members extended therethrough during use in for example a fluid carrying tubular system and in one embodiment a downhole operation.
  • the barrier includes a valve member that is in the form of a flapper type valve system akin to a subsurface safety valve and having similar components thereto.
  • the housing supports a flapper 14 via a pivot pin 16.
  • a flow tube 18 is positioned to physically interact with the flapper 14 to force it to an open position or allow it to close (based upon impetus from a torsion spring not shown) depending upon an axial position of the flow tube 18 relative to the flapper 14.
  • Driving the flow tube 18 is an actuator that in one embodiment is configured as a piston rod 20 that interacts with a cylinder 22 in the housing 12 (there are generally two diametrically disposed cylinders and piston rods in the barrier though more or fewer could be substituted in particular iterations, sometimes being equally spaced around the 360 degrees of the tubular housing).
  • the cylinder 22 is connected to a hydraulic pressure source that is not shown such as a hydraulic control line as is known to the art. Application of pressure through such control line into the cylinder 22 will cause extension of the piston rod out of the cylinder, which in the configuration illustrated in Figure 1, will cause the flow tube 18 to move axially to force the flapper 14 to the open position.
  • a hydraulic pressure source that is not shown such as a hydraulic control line as is known to the art.
  • Application of pressure through such control line into the cylinder 22 will cause extension of the piston rod out of the cylinder, which in the configuration illustrated in Figure 1, will cause the flow tube 18 to move axially to force the flapper 14 to the open position.
  • the power spring 24 urges the flow tube 18 axially in an opposite direction to that of the piston rod 20 when hydraulic pressure in the cylinder is below a threshold number that can overcome the force of the power spring 24.
  • the power spring 24 has a first end 25 and a second end 27.
  • the flow tube is configured to be rotationally independent of the other components of the barrier. More specifically, the flow tube is configured to interact with the other components of the barrier through bearings and or bushings that will allow the flow tube to be axially shifted as noted above to do its primary job while also allowing the flow tube to spin in the housing 12 without damaging or applying torque to any of the other components of the barrier.
  • This substantially protects the barrier from rotationally active tools running through the barrier in use. More specifically, and using a drill string D as an example, as the turning drill passes through the barrier 10, it is possible for the drill to become unintentionally engaged with the flow tube 18. In such instance, the flow tube may begin to rotate.
  • the flow tube may so engage the drill string D and be rotated therewith without any negative effect on the barrier.
  • the piston rod 20 (or two or three rods, etc) is connected to an actuator coupling 30.
  • the actuator coupling 30 operably interconnects the piston rod 20 with the flow tube 18.
  • the interconnection of the flow tube 18 and the other components of the barrier with which the flow tube 18 may have contact during use is through isolation components that are configured and dimensioned to ensure that rotational input from the flow tube 18 is not transmitted to other components of the barrier.
  • the flow tube 18 and the actuator coupling 30 are connected through bearings or bushings 32 to ensure rotational independence between the flow tube 18 and the actuator coupling 30.
  • the actuator coupling 30 is also pinned by pin 36 to a circumferential groove 38 in a spring coupling 40 so that the two remain together axially but are allowed to rotate if rotational input is imparted to spring coupling 40 through the flow tube 18.
  • Coupling 40 may also contain a bearing 42 that bears against the power spring 24 at the second end 27 of the power spring as shown (see Figure 1 A), or the power spring 24 may communicate on its first end with housing 12 through a bearing 44, or both bearings 42 and 44 may be employed in some embodiments. In each case, the bearings 42 and/or 44 allow rotational input from the flow tube to be decoupled from having any significant effect on the power spring 24 or other components of the barrier.
  • the actuator coupling 30, being isolated from rotational movement of flow tube 18 by bearing 32 is nevertheless fixed in its alignment by an alignment component 50. This prevents movement of the actuator coupling 30 in the rotational direction due to friction in the bearings or bushings 32, 42, and 44 while allowing movement in the axial direction that is necessary for actuation of the barrier.
  • the actuator coupling 30 is so fixed with respect to rotational movement by one or more alignment lugs 52 that interact each with an alignment groove 54 in the alignment component 50 (see Figure 3).
  • the alignment lugs and groove will be offset 90 degrees from the piston rods 20 of the
  • the alignment component 50 is rotationally fixed in place by keys 56 that are received in key holes 58 of the housing 12.
  • the alignment component 50 may be incorporated into the housing 12 as a single piece.
  • the barrier as described herein may be employed in a downhole drilling operation to ensure that the operation may proceed without damage to the barrier through rotational coupling of the flow tube with the drill string.
  • the method for effecting such is to install or have preinstalled the barrier described wherein the structure of the barrier is such that the flow tube is rotationally independent of the other components of the barrier, running a drill string through the barrier so constructed; decoupling any rotational input imparted to the flow tube from the drill string from other components of the barrier.
  • Embodiment 1 A barrier comprising: a housing; valve member disposed in the housing; a flow tube within the housing; and an actuator disposed in the housing and in operable communication with the flow tube, the flow tube configured to rotate within other components of the barrier without imparting rotational torque to the actuator or the other components.
  • Embodiment 2 The barrier of embodiment 1 further comprising an actuator coupling operatively connected to the flow tube through a bearing or bushing so that the flow tube is rotationally independent of the actuator coupling.
  • Embodiment 3 The barrier of embodiment 2 wherein the actuator coupling is operatively connected to the actuator.
  • Embodiment 4 The barrier of embodiment 1 wherein the actuator is a piston rod and cylinder.
  • Embodiment 5 The barrier of embodiment 1 further comprising a spring, the spring interactive with a bearing or bushing at a first end of the spring, a bearing or bushing at a second end of the spring, or both.
  • Embodiment 6 The barrier of embodiment 5 further comprising a spring coupling at the second end of the spring.
  • Embodiment 7 The barrier of embodiment 6 wherein the spring coupling comprises a circumferential groove therein receptive to a pin extending from the actuator such that the spring coupling and actuator remain axially fixed together while rotationally independent.
