Wellbore Cleanup
Clean surfaces. Barriers that hold.
A wellbore with contaminated sealing surfaces is a wellbore that cannot be controlled. WellsRX wellbore cleanup services prepare your well for the critical barrier operations that protect your assets, your people, and the environment.
What is "wellbore cleanup"?
Scale, cement residue, debris, and other downhole impurities collect on the surfaces where sealing equipment must form a pressure-tight barrier. If those surfaces are not clean, barriers leak. A leaking barrier in a live well is a serious well control risk, in the worst case, an uncontrolled flow of hydrocarbons to surface: a blowout.
WellsRX wellbore cleanup (WBCU) services remove those impurities before sealing operations begin, ensuring that packers, plugs, and liner hangers seat as designed and barriers hold to specification.
Our solutions
Casing scrapers and brushes
Remove scale, cement, and debris from the casing wall before setting your well barriers. Our scrapers and brushes deliver a clean, conditioned surface so your packers and plugs seal first time.
Downhole and surface magnets
Capture ferrous junk before it damages your BHA or reaches surface. Our downhole and surface magnet systems recover swarf and metal debris efficiently, protecting your equipment and keeping the wellbore clear.
Deburring
Smooth out rough edges left behind after milling or perforating. Our deburring tools eliminate burrs and sharp casing lips that can snag your BHA, reducing the risk of an unplanned fishing job before it starts.
Debris collection
Collect and recover loose junk from the wellbore in a single run. Our debris collection tools prevent contamination of your completion equipment and reduce the risk of costly downhole damage further in the campaign.
