REMOVAL AND COLLECTION OF WELLBORE SCALE AND DEBRIS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18077920 titled 'REMOVAL AND COLLECTION OF WELLBORE SCALE AND DEBRIS
The apparatus described in the patent application includes a scale removal head, a scale collector, a circulating plate assembly, and a guide. The scale removal head has blades that scrape against a wellbore wall to remove scale during rotation. The scale collector and circulating plate assembly create a collection volume for storing removed scale. The guide also has blades for scale removal during rotation.
- The apparatus includes a scale removal head with blades for scraping scale off a wellbore wall.
- A scale collector and circulating plate assembly work together to store the removed scale in a collection volume.
- The guide also has blades for removing scale from the wellbore wall during rotation.
Potential Applications: - Oil and gas industry for wellbore maintenance - Geothermal energy production for scale removal in wells - Water treatment facilities for cleaning pipes
Problems Solved: - Efficient removal of scale from wellbore walls - Preventing scale buildup in pipes - Improving wellbore maintenance processes

Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus includes a scale removal head, a scale collector, a circulating plate assembly, and a guide. The scale removal head includes a plurality of blades that scrape against a wall of a wellbore to remove scale from the wall of the wellbore in response to rotation of the apparatus. The scale collector defines a first inner region within a surrounding slotted chamber. The circulating plate assembly defines a second inner region within a pipe. The first inner region and the second inner region together define a collection volume for accumulating and storing scale that has been removed from the wall of the wellbore. The guide includes a plurality of blades that scrape against the wall of the wellbore to remove scale from the wall of the wellbore as the apparatus rotates.
