Plug bypass tool and method
A plug bypass tool including a housing defining a main flow passage and a bypass passageway, the bypass passageway extending between a first port and a second port, the first and second ports being fluidly connected to the main flow passage, a first seat and a first sleeve disposed within the passage between the first port and second port, and a second seat and a second sleeve disposed in the passage, the second sleeve movable between a position covering the second port and a position revealing the second port.
1. A plug bypass tool comprising:
a housing defining a main flow passage and a bypass passageway, the bypass passageway extending between a first port and a second port, the first and second ports being fluidly connected to the main flow passage, the housing further including a fracture port between the first and second ports;
a first seat and a first sleeve disposed within the passage between the first port and second port; and
a second seat and a second sleeve disposed in the passage, the second sleeve movable between a position covering the second port and a position revealing the second port.
2. The plug bypass tool as claimed in claim 1 wherein the first sleeve is moveable between a position covering the fracture port and a position revealing the fracture port.
3. The plug bypass tool as claimed in claim 1 wherein the first seat and first sleeve are responsive to a first object landable on the first seat.
4. The plug bypass tool as claimed in claim 1 wherein the second sleeve when in a position to reveal the second port covers the fracture port.
5. The plug bypass tool as claimed in claim 1 wherein the passageway is a gun drilled configuration.
6. The plug bypass tool as claimed in claim 1 wherein the first sleeve includes an automatic retainer.
7. The plug bypass tool as claimed in claim 6 wherein the automatic retainer is a C ring.
8. The plug bypass tool as claimed in claim 1 wherein the second sleeve includes an automatic retainer.
9. The plug bypass tool as claimed in claim 8 wherein the automatic retainer is a C ring.
10. The plug bypass tool as claimed in claim 1 wherein the housing includes a production opening.
11. The plug bypass tool as claimed in claim 10 wherein the production opening includes a filter.
12. A method for making a plug bypass tool comprising depositing material in accordance with a program to layer by layer build the housing as claimed in claim 1 .
13. The method for making a plug bypass tool as claimed in claim 12 further comprising building the entire tool as claimed in claim 1 .
14. A wellbore system comprising:
a borehole in a formation;
a string disposed within the borehole; and
a tool as claimed in claim 1 making up a part of the string.
15. A method for bypassing a plug in a tool as claimed in claim 1 , the method comprising:
landing a first object on the first seat;
pressuring on the first object and moving the first sleeve;
pressuring to perform an operation;
landing a second object on the second seat;
pressuring on the second object and moving the second sleeve;
revealing the second port whereby the bypass passageway around the first object on the first seat is established.
16. The method as claimed in claim 15 wherein the operation is a fracture operation.
17. The method as claimed in claim 15 wherein moving the first sleeve is revealing a fracture port.
18. The method as claimed in claim 15 further comprising flowing fluid through the established bypass passageway.
