One of the main types of repair operations in wells at hydrocarbon fields and
in underground gas storages is usually sand-clay and proppant plugs washing operation.
The use of coiled tubing in such well operations is one of the perspective directions
of well workover technologies development. In order to increase the efficiency
of wells bottomhole normalization process, authors of the paper developed and
introduced the design of hydraulic hammer unit, which operates in a complex with
coiled tubing string. Application of this unit is useful for dense sand-clay and
proppant plugs washing, as well as for cement bridgings destruction. one of the
advantages of this unit is the use of operating fluid jet, which is tangentially
directed to wellbore periphery, and its impulse effect on the drillable surface
of casing wall. full text of the article | all articles of this issue
