摘要:
A well cleaning tool for cleaning the inside walls of a well casing has at least two types of cleaning members; for example it may have a row of scraper blades and a row of brushes. The tool may also include one or more rotatable stabilizers that serve to maintain contact of the tool with the internal casing walls. The tool provides for obtaining the benefits of different types of cleaning members from a single trip into a well bore.
摘要:
A method for cleaning and/or altering an inside surface and shape of a tubular in a wellbore. The method includes placing a surface finishing tool in the tubular, energizing the surface finishing tool, and causing extendable assemblies therein to extend radially to contact an inside diameter of the tubular. Moving the surface finishing tool axially and/or rotationally while the extended members are in contact with the inside diameter of the tubular cleans debris from the inside surface of the tubular. In another aspect of the invention, the tool burnishes the inside diameter of the tubular, thereby altering the surface characteristics and rounding the tubular.

An automatic paraffin removal unit, including a scraper body, a tumbler, an arc spring leaf and a return torque spring, and the upper and lower commutators having a sleeve, an open spacing ring and a tower spring. In operation, the scraper is clamped on a pumping rod, while the upper, lower commutators are respectively connected to the upper, lower ends of the tubing section from the well head to the section having toe temperature lower than paraffin deposition temperature requiring paraffin removal. The scraper moves up and down following the pumping rod via unidirectional upward or downward movement, paraffin removal being performed to the inner wall of tubing and pumping rod unceasingly, and variations in direction being performed in the upper, lower commutators.

A method of cleaning a casing-lined borehole comprises the steps of: circulating fluid in the borehole to entrain material in the circulating fluid; separating the entrained material from the fluid within the borehole; and then removing the separated material from the borehole.

A casing scraper for cleaning the internal wall of a tube 26 such as a well casing has at least three, rigidly connected, axially and angularly spaced scraper bodies 12, 14, 16 each with a scraping surface 13, 15, 17. The radial dimension of the scraper at each scraping surface is slightly greater than the internal radius of the tube which it will scrape. When the scraper is fully inserted in the tube bore, the scraping surfaces are deflected inwardly and the axial connection 20, 22 between the bodies is accordingly elastically deformed. Th energy stored through this elastic deformation produces a radially outwardly acting force which presses the scraping surfaces 13, 15, 17 against the wall of the tube 26. The eccentric arrangement of the scraping surfaces, and the axial spacing between the surfaces causes the parts of the scraper connecting the scraping surfaces to be placed in bending when the scraper is in place within the tube. The bending of the intermediate parts between the scraping surfaces produces a stress which urges the scraping surfaces into contact with the tube internal surface.
摘要:
This invention relates to apparatus for scraping the inner surface of a wellbore. A scraper assembly (2) is provided comprising a scraper element (6) incorporating: a generally cylindrical member defined by a wall having a slot extending through the wall thickness; and at least one tooth member provided on the outer surface of the wall for scraping engagement with a wellbore. The present invention thereby provides a scraper assembly which is relatively convenient and inexpensive to manufacture and which may be considered as a disposable item of downhole equipment.
摘要:
A casing brush for cleaning the walls of a well casing, the casing brush comprising a body (1) in which are mounted cleaning bristles (2) and an adapter (4) to connect the upper end of the body (1) to the lower end of a bridge plug. The body (1) and the adapter (4) are comprised of a material which is at least drillable by a rock bit.

Oilfield cleaning apparatus is provided for cleaning the inner wall of an oilfield tubular. The apparatus comprises a body to be introduced into the tubular, the body being provided with annular cleaning elements. Furthermore a rotary drive acts to oscillate the cleaning elements in contact with the inner wall of the tubular to scrape debris from the inner wall with the cleaning element. Each cleaning element is mounted on a rotary bearing member which is inclined relative to its axis of rotation so as to cause the cleaning element to be oscillated axially in contact with the inner wall as the bearing member is rotated, Also a catcher tube is provided to catch the heavier debris which is not washed away by the flow of fluid up the borehole. Such apparatus provides an active cleaning action which is particularly effective in removing deposits from the inner wall of the tubular.
摘要:
A cleaning tool (1) for cleaning casing within a wellbore is comprised of an upper (3) and lower (4) sleeve which are mounted via ball bearings (5) on a work string (2). The ball bearings enable the upper (3) and lower (4) sleeves to have no or negligible rotational movement notwithstanding rotation of the work string (2). The upper (3) and lower (4) sleeve limit the axial movement of the cleaning tool (1) along the work string (2). The cleaning tool (1) is further comprised of at least one lantern (6) which supports the plurality of cleaning member (7) which may be brushes or scraping blades.
摘要:
A tubular body or mandrel incorporated into a string of tubular pipe, on which first and second swab cups and a casing scraper are mounted, is run into a cased earth borehole to displace a first fluid in the borehole, usually a drilling fluid, with a second fluid, usually either a completion fluid or a workover fluid. In a first embodiment, reverse circulation, in which the second fluid is pumped into the borehole annulus above the swab cups, and in which the first fluid is thereby pumped back towards the earth's surface through the interior of the string of tubular pipe, causes displacement of the first fluid merely by lowering the string of pipe while pumping the second fluid into the borehole annulus. In a second embodiment, using normal circulation, the first fluid is pumped from the earth's surface downwardly through the interior of the string of tubular pipe into the borehole annulus between the pair of swab cups. The first fluid is then displaced from the preselected zone of the cased borehole by raising or lowering the string of tubular pipe. In an alternative embodiment, the tubular pipe, upon which the swab cups and casing scrapers are mounted, is pulled out of the riser or cased borehole to displace the undesired fluid in the riser or cased borehole. In yet another embodiment, a plurality of large swab cups are shearingly secured to the tubular body and a plurality of smaller swab cups are secured to the tubular body, which also includes one or more spring-loaded casing scrapers mounted below the smaller swab cups, thereby allowing the apparatus to be used in progressively smaller diameter casing during the same operation of the apparatus.
