Debris breaker cuts descaling time
Specialist downhole tool provider Peak Well Systems, Perth, has followed up the initial field trials of its 4½ in. torque action debris breaker with a smaller version designed for 27⁄8-4½ in. tubing where scale buildup reduces productivity. In its first deployment with international service provider SGS Australia Pty. Ltd., Newburn, Western Australia, the tool significantly reduced intervention time by more than 11⁄2 days on one well, allowing production to resume faster than ever before, the firm points out.
The 27⁄8 in. version of the impact-driven debris breaker has been used by SGS Australia on a job for a large, integrated oil company.
To date, the tool has been used in 27⁄8 in. tubing and the results have exceeded expectations on site, SGS notes. The program of scale removal usually takes 2 full days but with this tool, the tubing was opened up within 6 hr, SGS said.
The tool is jarred down mechanically in the well, and its corkscrew design causes it to twist and break the solids buildup. The main tool is designed to fit a 27⁄8-4½ in. well and comes with a number of different sizes of shoes that can be easily changed on the main body of the tool as the scale is broken down, until it is removed completely.
Features include:
• Less inventory of tools required, as the debris breaker comes with different shoe sizes that are changed out on the same main tool body, thus eliminating the need to change the tools being run.
• No other specialist tools required.
• Overall reduction in time required for descaling.
• Production can resume quickly, the company says.
