NEW PIPE RECOVERY BROCHURE

Product catalog summary
Overview
The document provides an overview of GE's Sondex Wireline Pipe Recovery tools, focusing on the Downhole Electric Cutting Tool (DECT) and its accessories. These tools are designed for precise cutting of downhole tubulars without explosives or chemicals.
Specifications
The DECT tools are available in head sizes of 2.750in, 3.250in, and 3.625in, capable of cutting pipes under conditions of up to 20,000psi and 400°F. The cutting speed is maintained at 65-67rpm, with a typical cut duration of 3.5 minutes.
Procedures
The operation involves securing the tool inside the tubing with anchor arms, followed by a controlled cutting process. Positioning is determined using Casing Collar Locators (CCL) and a No-Go system. The cutting head retracts post-operation for repositioning.
Innovative Features
The DECT features a rotating cutting head and anchoring arms, controlled via a portable power panel and laptop with real-time feedback and logging capabilities. The system is designed for easy transport and rapid deployment.
Accessories
Accessories such as Swivel Joints, Roller Centralizers, and adaptors enhance the tool's functionality and adaptability to various well conditions, aiding in centralizing the cutting head and providing additional operational data.
Recommendations
The document emphasizes selecting the appropriate DECT tool based on material and well conditions, conducting pre-job checks, and using specific accessories to optimize performance and minimize downtime.
Conclusion
GE's DECT tools provide a reliable and efficient solution for downhole cutting operations, focusing on precision, safety, and ease of use, supported by a range of accessories and software.
Sensor Section and Depth Correlations
The sensor section anchors to the pipe wall to prevent erroneous readings, with depth correlations achieved using a CCL and sinker bars for better control.
Bowspring Mechanism
Bowsprings are anchored with a sliding sleeve and lock, allowing them to set to the desired OD and collapse through restrictions.
Pressure Balanced Sensor Assembly
The sensor section is pressure balanced with a rubber boot sealing the housing to the sensor shaft, filled with synthetic oil and vacuumed to prevent erroneous readings.
Portable Combination Freepoint Panel (PCFP)
The PCFP is a lightweight, portable unit compatible with any single conductor wireline, featuring a freepoint indicator meter, sensitivity and zero controls, and a reset switch. It includes a Collar Locator Circuit and a Shooting Supply Circuit.
Key Features of PCFP
  • Monitors CCL and freepoint operations
  • Performs shooting operations with two-hand safety fire
  • Available in portable and rack-mounted versions
  • Operates on 110V AC 60Hz power supply
  • Custom-designed panels available
Case Studies
Northern Alberta, Canada: The DECT tool succeeded in tar sand conditions where chemical cutters failed, performing five successful cuts without explosives.
Algeria, North Africa: The DECT tool cut 4.5in P110 tubing at high temperature and pressure, achieving successful cuts without military intervention.
North Sea, UK Sector: The DECT tool cut a release mandrel inside a downhole packer, ensuring safe removal without explosives.
Technical Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for various DECT tools, including maximum cut depth, cut range, anchor range, temperature, pressure, and dimensions.
Conclusion
GE's Sondex pipe recovery tools offer efficient, productive, and cost-effective solutions for diverse challenges worldwide, ensuring safety and precision in operations.
