High pressure jetting technology

• HydroMill^TM
  HydroMill is a compact, high-pressure jetting tool that is designed to remove heavy scale deposits from production tubing. The tool’s high-efficiency jetting nozzles operate at up to differential pressures of 70,000 kPa (10,000 psi) and provide 100% coverage of the cutting face to ensure performance even if the tubing is completely blocked with scale. The nozzles are positioned at minimum standoff from the tubing wall to enable rapid de-scaling performance under high-pressure downhole conditions using water, water with polymer additives and two-phase water/nitrogen fluids. Proprietary high-efficiency, low-torque seals eliminate power losses due to leakage and friction. Set-down and potential stall of the tool on an obstruction are indicated by a pressure drop on the fluid pumping unit. Simply picking up off the obstruction frees the unit to resume rotating.
  
  HydroMill is proven effective in removing heavy silicate scale and iron sulfide scale, as well as calcium carbonate. During milling out of calcium carbonate, rates of penetration were observed to be the same as those using milling technology. HydroMill is also used for:
  
  
  • Removal of miscellaneous tars, waxes or asphaltenes
  • Filter cake removal
  • Compacted fill (such as resin-coated sands)
  • Pipeline cleanout, including stuck pig removal
  • Open hole stimulation

• HydroClean^TM and HydroStim^TM
  The HydroClean and HydroStim tools are high-pressure rotating jetting nozzles deployed on coiled tubing. Similar in functionality, the tools are differentiated by the jet configuration of their nozzles. Both tools are capable of jetting fluids at high pressure in order to perform various operations such as scale removal, well cleanouts or acid stimulations. Their features include:
  
  
  • 42.9 mm (1.69 in) OD (outer diameter) design will pass through conventional 60.3 mm (2.37 in) profiles
  • High pressure jetting powerfully cleans the surface of the production tubing
  • High quality jets for effective cleaning of scale and hard packed sand
  • Increases effectiveness of solvent or acid because of the turbulence and jetting energy
  • Sour service compatible
  • Versatile - acid, solvent or water jet cleaning
  • 360° jetting for hard to reach areas in the completion (e.g. gas lift mandrels, sliding sleeves, screens, etc.)
