The client was to remove a mechanical bridge plug from the well with a CT run pulling tool. But large amounts of metal swarf in the well was preventing the pulling tool to latch onto the top sub. Several runs were made with a Venturi Junk Basket to remove the swarf, but with limited success. A solution was therefore required to assist with removing the metal swarf and to reduce the number of needed runs
The client wanted a reliable and cost-saving magnet solution to remove the metal swarf, which could also be run in tandem with a Venturi Junk Basket. Tools were required to be mobilized immediately. They were also looking for tools that could be cleaned easily at the well site and re-run if needed.
Innovar’s IM 28, 2.750” OD string magnet, is an ideal tool for wellbore cleaning for Coil Tubing, Tubing or Slickline. The Innovar magnet design provides the highest strength magnet on the market, with superior recovery capabilities. The IM 28 is also designed for easy cleaning at the well site and there are no compatibility issues with a Venturi Junk Basket.
Innovar Solutions Middle East carries a full stock of tools in Kurdistan, so tools were loaded out immediately. The Innovar magnets performed extremely well, with estimates of 20 kgs. of debris recovered per run, this allowed for the plug to be removed and the objectives were met.
