Longitudinally spaced magnets collect ferromagnetic debris, while integrated jetting ports dislodge it for effective wellbore cleanup.
An aqueous solvent emulsion with an oxidizer breaks down reservoir tar while reducing redeposition and flash-point concerns.
Specific hydrocarbon-to-ethylene glycol ratios help passivate metal surfaces, limiting corrosion and protecting packer assemblies in extreme wellbore conditions.
Pressurized fluid jets remove debris, scale, metal shavings, and viscous fluids from tubing hanger profiles before valve setting.
Gas strips part of a liquid chlorine dioxide and acid treatment into the gas phase, extending chemical reach through long horizontal wellbores.
Hydrophobic amines adsorb onto clay surfaces while xanthan-based viscosifiers retain fluid, limiting swelling, fluid loss, and stuck pipe.
A fibrous swelling elastomer with reactive coated alkali particles temporarily seals wellbore perforations during fracking, then degrades with hot water.
Adsorption and unwanted reactions cause transport losses; a protective shell breaks on heating to release oilfield chemicals at the target site.
Filter clogging limits conventional downhole debris tools; an axial hydro-clone uses centrifugal separation to collect more debris per operation.
