Seashore Vortex Clean-Out Technology

The Future Wellbore Clean-Out Technology

A clean riser, BOP, Wellhead, casing and wellbore is vital for an effective drilling and completion operation.

Seashore Vortex Tool(R) is a patented innovation for more effective clean-up and removals of particles inside, Riser, BOP, Wellhead, Casing and down hole wellbore during drilling, completion and slot recovery of production wells.

The proprietary Technology includes the Vortex Nozzle design, developed to conservation available energy through generation of angular momentum (spin/vortex) inside the bore and creates a rotation of the liquid column that surrounds the cleanout tool/string. The Seashore Vortex Tool can be operated on standard drilling and completion fluids as oil and water based mud and brine.

Since 2006, the technology has been used with success in more than 150 wellbores at the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

 

Benifits/features

  • Excellent transport of debris, swarff and particles from cleanout area.
  • One tool can operate for multiple wellbore dimensions.
  •  Achieves full cleanout effect in entire annulus – also for those areas not directly affected by the nozzle spray
  • Cleanout operations require a minimum of extra rig time.
  • Standard drillpipe connections in top/bottom
  •  Can be run in an conventional Drill string and the operator can easily handle the operation
  •  Maintain requirements for well control in all stages
  •  Standard Tool dimensions from 5″ to 8″ OD for operation in nominal bores from ~7″ to 21″ or higher.
  • The Seashore Vortex Tool is available for clients on rental basis. Included in the rental package is an operation description procedure for most effective operations.
