TUBULAR SEVERANCE: INNOVATIONS BY WELLTONIC

Severing tubulars downhole can be both time consuming and challenging. A variety of methods are currently available, each with their pros and cons.

Welltonic have primarily focussed on hydro-mechanical and abrasive methods purely because mechanical cuts produce a degree of accuracy unparalleled by any other method and the abrasive jet cutting being a cost effective procedure which does not involve any explosives or dangerous chemicals.

The Welltonic Hydraulic Pipe Cutter has been developed through years of experience, it utilises precision machine tool inserts to ensure a clean cut and a dual hydraulic piston assembly to provide the correct amount of load to achieve a cut in the shortest possible time.

The Abrasive cutting technology has been advanced throughWelltonic’s development of their own sealed bearing section for Positive Displacement Motors. This bearing section design enables the motor to run for longer in abrasive fluid, enabling several cuts in one run if required.
