  • Patent number: 8544540
    Abstract: Well pump units for studying, repairing and developing of wells. The proposed well jet system comprises a logging instrument, a movable sealing unit, and a jet pump arranged in a flow string. The latter enables to create a series of different drawdown values in a well under-packer area, and thus to register parameters of the well and a medium pumped out of the well and to easily register a formation pressure restoration curve for the well under-packer area. When testing the formation, a pumping mode may be adjusted by changing pressure of an active working medium supplied to a jet pump nozzle. The provision of a channel for supplying the pumped out medium with a check valve helps avoiding a spontaneous flow of the working medium into the under-packer area. The system reveals increased operational reliability and productivity during the treatment of a productive formation and well testing.

  • Publication number: 20100326661
    Abstract: Well jet enables forming, via jet pump, range of different depressions in well tail area at specified differential pressure value. Logging instrument enables recording well and pumped out medium physical parameters. Well operating modes are adjusted by spring-loaded stepped piston positioned in seal unit body so as to open and close holes. Return valves in pumped out and active media supply channels, combined with stepped through channel, of diameter equal to or greater than diameter of the axial through hole of a packer and which is made in the pump body below a mounting seat, enable supplying chemical reagents along a pipe string to a production formation without additional units and prevent media pumped to the production formation, from annular above-packer space penetration. Said invention enables increasing reliability and performance by preventing active medium backflow and by maintaining the depression produced on the formation when the jet pump is stopped.
