Wash tool for well having perforated casing
A tool is described for washing a perforation zone in an earth formation adjacent a perforated casing in a bore hole of a well comprising: a tubular mandrel having an axial flow passage therethrough and adapted to be connected at its upper end to a drill string for receiving pressurized fluid therefrom; an elastomeric tubular packer on each mandrel end section in face to face contact with the outer peripheral surface of the mandrel and defining upper and lower packers; means on the mandrel for securing the upper and lower ends on each of the elastomeric packers in fixed position on the mandrel; a fluid passage through the mandrel wall from the axial flow passage to each of the packers to provide fluid from the mandrel bore to the area between the outer surface of the mandrel and the inner surface of the packers; a second fluid passage in the intermediate section extending through the mandrel wall form the axial flow passage at location between the packers of supplying fluid to the perforation zone adjacent the casing; and means for blocking fluid flow through the second fluid passage at the predetermined fluid pressure, the means being actuated at a second higher predetermined fluid pressure in the mandrel bore to permit fluid flow through the second fluid passage means and the perforated casing to the perforation zone outside the casing. Also described is a method of circulating fluid in a well having a perforated casing at a predetermined depth in the perforation zone.
