WELLBORE CASING SCRAPER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240035359 titled 'WELLBORE CASING SCRAPER

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a controllable downhole scraper that includes a fluid reservoir with a movable pressure wall, a scraper blade, a sleeve, a restrictor, and a gas reservoir.

  • The fluid reservoir contains a first fluid and the pressure wall maintains a first pressure in the first fluid.
  • The scraper blade can move between a retracted and an extended position.
  • The sleeve is positioned on a tubular and can slide between a first position to engage the scraper blade and move it into the retracted position, and a second position to engage the scraper blade and move it into the extended position.
  • The sleeve can move between the two positions by reducing the first pressure in the first fluid.
  • The restrictor is fluidly coupled between the fluid reservoir and a pressure reservoir.
  • The gas reservoir, fluidly coupled to the first fluid, can selectively reduce the first pressure in the first fluid.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Downhole scraping operations in oil and gas wells.
  • Cleaning and removing debris from wellbores and tubulars.
  • Maintenance and repair of downhole equipment.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient and controlled scraping of downhole surfaces.
  • Minimizing damage to wellbore and tubulars.
  • Preventing blockages and improving flow in oil and gas wells.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved wellbore and tubular cleanliness.
  • Enhanced operational efficiency and productivity.
  • Reduced downtime and maintenance costs.


Original Abstract Submitted

a controllable downhole scraper includes a fluid reservoir having a pressure wall positioned and movable within the fluid reservoir defining a first portion of the fluid reservoir including a first fluid. the pressure wall exerts a force on the first fluid to maintain a first pressure. a scraper blade is movable between a retracted and an extended position. a sleeve is positioned on a tubular and slidable between a first position engaging the scraper blade to move into the retracted position, and a second position engaging the scraper blade to move into the extended position. the sleeve is configured to move between the two positions through a reduction in the first pressure in the first fluid. a restrictor is fluidly coupled between the fluid reservoir and a pressure reservoir. a gas reservoir, fluidly coupled to the first fluid, is selectively operable to reduce the first pressure in the first fluid.
