The Well Cutter® is a tool that enables efficient, safe drill pipe, liner, tubing and casing recovery operations without the need for explosives. The tool uses a rotating head to remove pipe incrementally, which prevents the creation of shavings. Due to the smooth, beveled surface it produces, a polishing trip with drill pipe may be eliminated. Conveyed on e-line for accurate depth control, the Well Cutter® incorporates a ‘fail-safe’ mechanism that prevents the tool from getting stuck. A key benefit of the Well Cutter® is that it eliminates the use of explosives which can pose an operational risk, especially when simultaneous operations are being conducted. The transfer of explosives may also cause complex logistics and significant operational delays, making the Well Cutter® an attractive alternative for pipe recovery operations.
The Well Cutter® is fully combinable With the Well Tractor® and other Welltec® services to provide mechanical solutions in horizontal and extended reach wells.
