WELL COMMISSIONER
The WELL COMMISSIONER* WELLBORE
PRODUCTIVITY* tool from M-I SWACO
is unique in that it is designed to
allow inflow and negative tests to
be carried out on a liner overlap and
the liner shoe track on the same trip
as the wellbore cleanup. It can also
be used to perform an inflow or
negative test on the liner top and
liner shoe track at any time during
the life of the well. Regardless of
when the tool is run, it results in
significant savings in rig time
compared to other methods of performing an inflow test. Significant
reduction in oil-contaminated seawater or brine volumes generated is
also possible where OBM is in use.
WC
How it works
The WELL COMMISSIONER tool is
run on the drillstring, spaced
out to land on the liner-top
Polished-Bore Receptacle (PBR)
when the cleanout string is at
final depth. The integral RAZOR
BACK lantern cleans ahead of
the packoff element and prepares the area in which the tool
itself is to be set. The bypass
under the element is open
while running in hole and
allows high-rate circulation
without the need for fluids to
go around the outside of the
element (Figure 1).
Advantages
The WELL COMMISSIONER tool eliminates the need for a controlled displacement of the entire well to
lower density fluid through the
choke with the blowout preventers
closed. It also eliminates a dedicated run with a retrievable packer
to perform the test, saving significant rig time. Positive tests on the
casing or liner can also be carried
out. Significant reduction in waste
volumes of contaminated fluids is
also made.

Operating Parameters
If an MFCT unit is proposed in
the same string as the WELL
COMMISSIONER tool, M-I SWACO
will perform a torque and drag
analysis to verify the effective tension in the string at the liner top
while tripping in hole at 150 ft/min
(46 m/min) without rotation. When

CUSTOMIZED TOOLS
When the integral liner-top dress

mill lands on the PBR, it can be used
to dress off the PBR top if required.
A tieback mill can be run below the
tool to clean inside the PBR.
A low-density water- or oil-base
fluid is then pumped into the upper
portion of the drill pipe to reduce
the hydrostatic pressure on the liner
overlap and liner shoe track. While
back pressure on the drill pipe is
held, the tool is set down on the
liner top, the packoff element is set
and the bypass closed. Back pressure bleed-off is the inflow test
performed by monitoring for an
increased pressure in the drill pipe,
indicating inflow (Figure 2).
When the test is complete,
repressurize to the previous back
pressure, pick up to release the
packoff element and open the
bypass. The normal cleanup and
displacement to completion fluid
conjunction with an MFCT unit, at

least 10,000 lb (4,536 kg) effective
string weight (tension) should be
available below the tool when it is
at operating depth. If this is not the
case, consideration should be given
to increasing the shear rating on
the MFCT unit or running a ClutchType, Heavy-Duty MFCT unit or
adding drill-collar weight to the
string below.
It is recommended that a tieback mill is run below the WELL
COMMISSIONER tool to polish the
inside of the tieback receptacle of
the PBR. This reduces the risk of a
cement sheath, or other debris
buildup, preventing the tool from
seating on top of the tieback receptacle or PBR. Maximum runningin-hole/pulling-out-of-hole speed
is 150 ft/min (46 m/min). The
required inflow test pressure can
only be achieved, if the resulting
loading on the liner hanger system
is within operating guidelines.

Liner Top Test Packer
LTTP
Applications
Tool Use
The Liner Top Test Packer (LTTP) is

designed to perform a negative test
on the liner top to ensure liner top
integrity before changing fluids.
The LTTP is designed to prevent premature setting while running in the
hole and also allows a full complement of wellbore cleanup tools to
be run above and below. Running
the tool while drilling the Plug
Back Total Depth (PBTD) and testing the liner top reduces trip time
and operating cost.
Choose the desired set-down

weight by altering the number
of shear pins used in the tool. The
Liner Top Test Packer provides a
generous bypass area to permit
increased trip speeds. M-I SWACO
recommends the use of a SHORTY*
Scraper-Magnet tool just below the
LTTP to ensure a clean sealing area. A
no-go gauge can be provided to dress
off the liner top. Once the test area
is clean, set down on the LTTP and
shear the pins, closing the bypass
area and sealing off the packer. After
the test, a simple straight pickup is
required to unseat the packer and
re-open the bypass area.

RAZOR BACK CCT

This new-generation improvement
in metal-bladed scraper design
brings even the most complex wellbore cleanups under control. The
RAZOR BACK CCT (Casing Cleanup
Tool) has critically important features not found on any other metalbladed casing scraper that render it
more effective, more robust and
safer to use in wellbore cleanup
and casing scraping operations.
Advantages
The lantern is self-centralizing
inside the tubular to ensure equal
cleaning force at all angles of well
inclination. The mandrel rotates
through the stabilizer sleeves and
lantern to avoid wear or damage
to the casing during pipe rotation.
The tool is HTHP-compatible and
is not vulnerable to chemical or
acid attack.
Operation
The RAZOR BACK CCT unit is
run with maximum runningin-hole/pulling-out-of-hole speed
RB
of 150 ft/min (46 m/min), and
should be positioned at least 30 ft
(9 m) above the drill bit/mill and
placed so that it does not pass
through any drilled-out accessories
such as landing or float collars. The
string should regularly be picked up
off-bottom and circulated to clear
any accumulated debris.
Where possible, the bit or mill OD
should be greater than the stabilizer
sleeve OD of the RAZOR BACK CCT
device. If this is not possible, it is
recommended that a full-gauge
mill be run below the first RAZOR
BACK CCT unit in the bottomhole
assembly. It is not recommended
to drill cement with a small RAZOR
BACK CCT (3- to 5-in.) device.
Alternatively, it is suggested that a
dedicated slick-drilling run be made
first to drill out the excess cement
and establish Plug Back Total Depth
(PBTD) prior to the cleanup run.
Should a slick run not be possible,
a Heavy-Duty RAZOR BACK CCT unit
is recommended.

Self-centralizing,
flexible-brush lantern
casing/liner sizes
Scouring action ensures a

clean pipe wall
Non-rotating stabilizer sleeves
and lantern avoid wear or damage to the casing and the tool
bristles during pipe rotation
Self-centralizing lantern distributes cleaning force equally for
all hole inclinations
How it works
While the tool can be run as a
stand-alone device, it is more commonly used as part of the cleanup
system in conjunction with circulating tools, the RAZOR BACK CCT
unit and/or the WELL PATROLLER
filter tool.
The BRISTLE BACK CCT unit consists of a one-piece main mandrel;
non-rotating, right-hand-spiral stabilizer sleeves and a non-rotating,
bristle-covered lantern. During
pipe rotation, the mandrel rotates
inside the stabilizer sleeves and
the lantern, avoiding wear or
damage to the casing as well
as the tools bristles.
The strong, flexible, non-rotating
lantern is set with spring-steel
12
bristles and provides the force to

contact and clean 360 of the casings internal diameter. It is also
self-centralizing inside the casing
to ensure equal cleaning force at
all angles of inclination.
The tool uses no bolts, clamps or
threaded-on rings that can loosen,
and there are no springs, multiplebristle pads or blocks. The tool is
HTHP-compatible and is not vulnerable to chemical or acid attack.
As a result of all of these design
enhancements, the BRISTLE BACK
CCT unit is more effective, more
robust and safer to use in wellbore cleanup operations than
other designs.

RIDGE BACK Burr Mill

The RIDGE BACK* Burr Mill is an
casing cleanup tool developed for
use in perforated casing or liner
to remove perforation burrs and
to ensure the safe passage of
completion equipment.
Advantages
A unique feature of the RIDGE BACK
Burr Mill is the ability to turn it off
once the milling/cleaning operation
is complete if other extensive rotation is anticipated before pulling
out of the hole. This is achieved
by circulating a ball down, and
shifting an internal support sleeve,
to remove the expanding force on
the milling ribs. These ribs are then
held recessed into the tool and
away from the pipe ID.
Full circulation through the ID of
the tool is possible before and after
the support sleeve is moved. The
tool can also be used to clear off
equally stubborn ID-restricting
14
RBBM
materials (e.g., heavy pipe scale)
from the inside of casing/liner to
regain full pipe ID.
Operation
At least one MAGNO BACK* tool
should be run above the RIDGE
BACK Burr Mill to collect the
milled material. In addition, consideration should be given to running a RAZOR BACK tool and a
WELL PATROLLER unit above the
top MAGNO BACK tool. It should
be run at a maximum run-inhole/pull-out-of-hole speed of
150 ft/min (46 m/min). If the
string is to be rotated at the same
depth for more than 30 min, it is
recommended that the RIDGE BACK
Burr Mill be deactivated. This is
achieved by dropping and circulating a ball to the tool and applying
pressure to shift the internal support sleeve. It should be noted that
when the tool is deactivated, it
cannot be reactivated.

Removal of perforation burrs
is achieved by running in hole
and pulling out of hole through
the perforated interval at a
predetermined speed (10 ft/min

[3 m/min]), while rotating at
the recommended 60 rpm. This
ensures sufficient contact time
between the mill ribs and each perforation to effectively remove all
burrs and leave the pipe ID smooth
and free of restrictions.

Multi-Function Circulating Tool, Clutch Type
Applications
The MFCT WELLBORE PRODUCTIVITY
tool from M-I SWACO is particularly
suited to wells with small liner

diameters where well cleanups are
performed prior to running completions or test strings. This tool
can be run when drilling cement
and milling/polishing liner-top
Polished-Bore Receptacles (PBRs),
providing pipe rotation above the
liner with the ports open while
protecting the string below from
potentially damaging torque.
Features
Benefits
Does not require darts or balls

to be pumped down the drill pipe
Can be operated in the hole
as many times as required
by slacking off or picking up
the drill pipe
Allows drilling or milling to
take place with the tool in
the string
Internal clutch allows drillstring
rotation above the tool with the
circulating ports open
Available to run in all common
Offers the option of performing

the open/closed cycle as many
times as required without having
to pull out of hole, allowing
immediate control of the
circulation route
More accurate fluid placement
than can be obtained with
a conventional ball drop
circulation sub
Only transmits rotating torque
above the circulating ports, protecting the lower string from
potentially damaging torque
Increases flow rate in the
annular sections
The MFCT unit is operated in

a similar fashion to a bumper
sub used during drilling. The
tool, made up with a shear ring
in place (7,000- to 60,000-lb
[3,175- to 27,216-kg] shear), is
fully stroked out when running
in hole, and circulation passes
through the end of the drillstring. Rotating torque is transmitted to the whole string
(clutch engaged). Upon first
activation, the required weight
is slacked off onto a device, such
as a stabilizer or top-dress mill,
at the point of interest (usually
above a small-diameter liner)
and the outer sleeve moves
down, allowing the fluid
bypass to be activated.
The tool is now open and high

circulation rates can be attained
through the tool ports. Rotating
torque is only transmitted above
the circulating ports (clutch disengaged). Circulation is restored
through the end of the drillstring
by simply picking up the drill
pipe, moving the outer sleeve
up and re-engaging the clutch.
The open-closed cycle can be
performed as many times as
required without the need for
expensive trips out of the hole,
giving the driller immediate,
positive control of the
circulation route.

BOP CLEANING TOOLS
Efficient drilling is dependent on

keeping the hole free of debris. The
clutch-type MFCT (Multi-Function
Circulating Tool) unit, developed for
use when well cleanout is required
prior to running completions or test
strings, is a valuable option.

Clutch-Type, Heavy-Duty MFCT

The Clutch-Type, Heavy-Duty MultiFunction Circulating Tool (MFCT*)
unit from M-I SWACO WELLBORE
PRODUCTIVITY is a valuable option
when well cleanout is required in
deeper, deviated wells and/or when
it is necessary to start and stop the
cleanout operation at several places
in the wellbore.
Applications
This tool is an enhanced version
of the original MFCT device and is
suited for use in deeper, deviated
wells where there is a requirement
for higher tensile and torsional ratings. It is also applicable when it
is desirable to lock this type of circulating tool in the open/closed
position, such as performing
an inflow test on a liner lap.
The Clutch-Type, Heavy-Duty
MFCT unit has the same basic functionality as the original version. It
allows higher circulation rates to be
achieved at various times during a
20
wellbore cleanup to displace debris

or fluid out of the hole. It also allows
flow rates to be boosted at a liner
top to increase the annular velocity
of the wellbore fluid, thereby
increasing the cleaning action.
The tool is particularly suited to
wells with small liner diameters in
which well-cleanup operations are
performed prior to running completions or test strings. The tool can
be run when drilling cement and
milling/polishing liner-top PBRs.
The use of this tool also allows
the spotting of chemical pills and
the efficient displacement of wellbore fluids. In addition, it offers the
benefit of pipe rotation and circulation above a liner, with the jetting
ports open, while protecting the
lower string from potentially damaging torque. When the tool is open,
only the drillstring above the tool
can be rotated. When the tool is
closed, the complete string can be
rotated with circulation directed
through the bit or mill.
Features
Benefits
Does not require darts or balls to

be pumped down the drill pipe
Can be cycled open and closed
in the hole as many times as
required by simply slacking
off/picking up the drill pipe
Allows drilling/milling to take
place with the tool in the string
Internal clutch for drillstring
rotation above the tool with
the circulating ports open
Can be locked closed in compression to avoid premature opening
while RIH; can be locked open
in tension to allow the tool to
be picked up off the liner top
while continuing to circulate
at high rates
Allows flow rates to be

boosted at a liner top to
increase the annular velocity
of the wellbore fluid, thereby
increasing cleaning action
Allows spotting of chemical
pills and efficient displacement
of wellbore fluids
Gives the benefit of pipe rotation
and circulation above a liner with

Figure 2. Slack off onto the liner top without circulation to open the tool. Displace
the drill-pipe/casing annulus and rotate
the string. Note that the clutch is now
disengaged and only the upper string
is rotated in this position.
When the screws are sheared, the

outer body of the tool moves down
a short distance, putting the tool
into the locked-closed position.
The string is then picked up and
slacked off again to move the
outer body down the full stroke
length, putting the tool in the
open position. High circulating
rates can now be achieved through
the circulating ports. If required,
the tool can be picked up off the

liner top into the locked-open
position. Rotation is still not transmitted below the tool in this position. To close the tool, the string
is slacked off and picked up once
again, returning it to the original
closed position. The tool can be
opened and closed as many times
as required by manipulating
the string.

BOP CLEANING TOOLS
The Clutch-Type, Heavy-Duty MFCT

device is run with a suitable no-go
device (liner-top dressing mill,
bearing sub or stabilizer) below it,
allowing it to be operated without
putting the lower string in compression. No darts or balls need to be
pumped down the drill pipe, and
the tool can be operated in the hole
as many times as required by simply slacking off/picking up the string.
When Running In Hole (RIH), the
tool is fully stroked out, with all circulation passing through the end
of the drillstring. In this initial position, rotating torque is transmitted
to the whole drillstring. The tool has
shear screws installed to ensure
that it will not open prematurely
while RIH. If the shear screws are
inadvertently sheared by high drag
forces, the tool will remain closed
and RIH can continue without any
further action being taken.
To operate the Clutch-Type,
Heavy-Duty MFCT device, the driller
sets the tool down and applies the
required weight to shear the screws.

Ported Bypass Sub
PBS
The Ported Bypass Sub helps to

establish communication between
the fluids in the drill-pipe pressure
and fluid flow around a tool in
the drillstring.
Applications
The Ported Bypass Sub from
is normally run above the WELL
PATROLLER tool to provide an additional means of equalizing pressure and fluid flow around the
tool, should it fill with debris
while pulling out of hole. The
WELL PATROLLER unit is run as a
contingency device, and is only
opened if required.
The Ported Bypass Sub can also
function as a drill-pipe drain sub.

Single-Action Bypass Sub

This tool makes it possible to boost
the flow velocity in a casing string
above a liner or casing crossover
where a smaller liner exists.
SABS
RIH position
Applications
The SABS unit from M-I SWACO
WELLBORE PRODUCTIVITY is used:
to boost the flow velocity in a casing string above a liner or casing
crossover where a smaller liner
exists; to spot lost-circulation
material or other pills, bypassing
the motor or measurement-whiledrilling tool; to boost flow in the
annulus to remove cuttings beds;
or to jet wellhead, blowout
preventers or risers.
How it works
Initially, the tool is run in hole
with its ports in the closed position. To open the ports, a ball
is dropped, and the pump
rate is increased to circulate at
higher annular velocity through
the ports in the tool. To close the
ports, a second ball is dropped,
and pumping can be resumed
through the string below the
sub. Once dropped, both balls
remain on seat at all times.
To have the option of reopening and then re-closing ports
after the initial cycle, two SABS
units can be run in tandem.
The SABS tool is used to
boost flow velocity in a casing string above a liner or
casing crossover.

CENTURION Circulating Valve

Critical drilling operations demand
multiple capabilities such as flow
splitting, reverse circulation and
fluid displacement. The advanced
CENTURION* Circulating Valve (CCV)
WELLBORE PRODUCTIVITY tool from
M-I SWACO performs many functions, including spotting LostCirculation Material (LCM) pills,
boosting annular flow velocities,
pulling dry pipe and flow-splitting
during drilling.
Advantages
No complicated ball/dart sequence
or potentially problematic pump
on/off hydraulic sequencing is
required to open and close the tool.
Use of unique ball-seat technology
allows the same-size ball to open
and close the tool, eliminating the
risk of dropping the wrong size ball.
In addition, high circulation rates
will not cause the tool to function
prematurely. Removal of cuttings
beds in high-angle/horizontal wells
is possible through boosting of
annular velocities.
Operation
When run with the Bypass Ball
Catcher, other ball-drop tools can
be run below the CCV. The design
of this Bypass Ball Catcher allows
smaller balls to be dropped past the
tool and continue down the string
to operate the other tools.
The CCV can be run or pulled out
of hole, with the ports locked open
or closed and remains in that position until activated by dropping a
ball. The same size activation ball
is used to open and close the tool,
and the only limit on the number
of cycles is the capacity of the
ball catcher. The CCV is normally
positioned above the BHA or
small-diameter drillstring.
When spotting coarse LCM, a
lower ball seat is installed in the
tool whereby the flow to the bit
is shut off by dropping a special
shut-off ball to this seat after
opening the tool (Figure 2).

WELL PATROLLER
The WELL PATROLLER downhole filter
tool is an advanced M-I SWACO
WELLBORE PRODUCTIVITY wellbore
cleanup tool developed for use in
the precompletion/drill-stem test
phase of a well, where a high degree
of cleanliness and validation of such
is required.
Advantages
Performing a dual function, the
WELL PATROLLER tool first performs
a cleaning action and then validates the effectiveness of the
cleanup operation.
Operation
As the string is RIH, the diverter
cup/wiper cleans the ID of the
casing, removing the film of gunk
(oil-base mud, barite, cement and
magnetized steel particles) clinging
to it (Figure 1). The cleanup operation is carried out in the normal
way, pumping down through the
WELL PATROLLER drill-pipe mandrel
and back up between the mandrel
and the filter jacket. When circulation is complete, the string is
pulled and the diverter cup/wiper
cleans the ID of the casing and
diverts the annular fluid into the
tool through its large annulus.

way to check that debris had
been removed from the annulus
was by measuring the turbidity
and solids content of the fluid
returning to surface. The tool
is designed to be run in the
cleanup string and completes
the cleanup by filtering the
remaining debris from the
annulus through a wire
screen filter. It is usually run
in conjunction with the MFCT

WELL PROTECTOR
Thorough cleaning of the wellhead
and Blowout Preventer (BOP) areas
of any surface well must include
catching the harmful debris
loosened by the operation.
Applications
The WELL PROTECTOR* tool from
captures material loosened during
cleaning of the BOP and wellhead
and/or operational testing of the
BOP rams. It acts as a backup to
catch debris that is not circulated
out or that falls downward into
the well.
How it works
The tool is run below the wellhead
inside the casing during BOP and
wellhead jetting or functioning of
the BOP rams. It can be positioned
in the casing during riser cleaning
operations or when retrieving wear
bushings/bore protectors.
The tool features a large-capacity,
6-ft (2-m) wire-wrap screen to filter out small and large debris that
falls into it. A rounded bullnose on
the bottom acts as a guide and is
equipped with a large valve for
easy removal of collected material.
Above the filter screen is a diverter
cup and ported standoff guide to
ensure that all the debris is collected rather than falling around
the outside of the tool.
The WELL PROTECTOR tool is
equipped with an integral drillpipe-handling sub for slips and

Junk Muncher
Advantages
The Junk Muncher tool is suitable to
run after casing-milling or windowcutting operations to collect larger
pieces of milling debris sometimes
produced during these operations
and which cannot otherwise be
removed. It is also suitable for use
in already perforated pipe to clean
up or remove perforation debris
that restricts the ID while retrieving
junk that cannot be circulated out.
The milling profile can be supplied suitable to dress off liner-top
Polished-Bore Receptacle (PBR) profiles. The bypass and swallowing
capacity have been maximized by
using a smaller, high-torque, rotaryshouldered connection on the
bottom of the tool.
How it works
The collection vessel is a largeOD tube ported to allow debris,
cuttings, cement particles and
smaller pieces of junk to pass
through and be circulated out
of the hole. The large pieces of
junk that enter the collector
are retained and prevented
from falling out the bottom
by flapper valves that are
flow-assisted to open and
spring-assisted to close.
A significant volume of
large junk pieces can be collected in the tool. In the case of
extremely large pieces of junk,
drilling/milling services can be
provided to assist in reducing
the size of the junk.
The Junk Muncher can be run on the same

trip as a precompletion mechanical wellbore cleanup run or during a dedicated
junk cleanout run.

For retrieving ferrous debris from

the wellbore, the PUP tool carriers
are dressed with powerful rareearth magnets. The magnetic field
covers the carrier area from top
to bottom and a full 360 around.
Rugged stainless steel gives the
carriers inherent corrosion resistance and the ability to be used
many times.
Because the carriers rotate independently of the mandrel and drillstring, they will not damage the
casing. Centralizers above and
below the carriers keep the magnets centered in the wellbore so
that no debris is knocked off while
moving the drillstring.

BRISTLE BACK Surface Wellhead Brushing/Jetting Tool WBJT-SUR

The wellhead area has been widely
recognized as one which requires
particular attention during wellbore cleanup operations performed
before running the completion.
This tool ensures that the multiple profiles are cleaned and free
of debris prior to completion,
reducing the incidence of
Non-Productive Time (NPT).
Applications
The BRISTLE BACK Surface
Wellhead Brushing/Jetting Tool
(WBJT) from M-I SWACO WELLBORE
PRODUCTIVITY simultaneously performs brushing/jetting functions
on surface wellheads.
Features
Benefits
One-piece, full-strength mandrel

Brass bristle-impregnated sleeve
Integral jetting slots on tool
Jetting activated by bearing/
diverter ring
Simple and easy to operate
Reduces NPT
Ensures surfaces are cleaned
and free of debris before
running the completion
How it works
The tool is constructed on a onepiece, full-strength mandrel with
box-up/pin-down drill-pipe connections. Mounted on the mandrel
is a brass bristle-impregnated
sleeve with jetting slots, sized for
the various ID changes within the
hanger area. The sleeve is rotationally locked to the mandrel and
provides an annular space for circulation between the ID of the
sleeve and the OD of the mandrel.
A bearing/diverter ring is mounted
at the bottom of the bristle sleeve to
act as a no-go ring when running
in hole.
When the ring bottoms-out in
the hanger area, the circulation
is diverted to the jetting slots,
and the tool is run to hanger
depth while slowly circulating
and rotating. The bristles sweep
the profiles and sealing surfaces
while they are being jetted with
the circulated fluid.
When running, the tool should
be landed with minimum weight;
a small pressure increase will be
noted. Rotate and jet for approximately 5 min, then pick up and
increase pump rates to circulate
loosened material out of the well.
44
Debris cannot fall down the well

when the landing ring is in contact
with the hanger.
The tool cannot be operated
prematurely and, because the
mandrel is solid, it is safe in wellcontrol situations. A separate jetting sub can be run below the tool
to allow operation and jetting of
the blowout-preventer rams before
brushing-jetting the wellhead
hanger area. For extra assurance, a
WELL PATROLLER or WELL PROTECTOR
unit is often run below the tool to
collect any debris which falls into
the well when the WBJT is not
seated in the hanger area.

The SJCT consists of a one-piece

body with two sets of ports
and four internal ball seats that
can be moved to open-close the
ports when necessary. It can be
used for a variety of functions
with the use of different stabilizer
sleeves. M-I SWACO offers three
versions of this tool:
Dual Jetting. The tool is Run In
Hole (RIH) in the closed position.
To open the lower set of ports, a
ball is dropped to the lowest ball
seat and pressure is applied. The
pump rate can then be increased
to pump through the lower row
of jets in the tool. To close the
lower set of ports, a second ball
is dropped and pressure applied.
The cycle can be repeated by
dropping a third ball and pressuring up to open the upper set
of ports for jetting. A fourth ball
is dropped and pressure applied
to finally close the upper set
of ports.
Circulating and Jetting. The tool
is RIH in the closed position. To
open circulate at increased annular velocity through the lower set

of ports, a ball is dropped to the
lowest ball seat and pressure is
applied. To close the lower set of
ports, a second ball is dropped
and pressure applied. For jetting, a third ball is dropped and
pressure is applied to open the
upper set of ports. A fourth ball
is dropped and pressure applied to
finally close the upper set of ports.
Single Jetting. The tool is RIH
in the closed position, and at
the appropriate time, a ball is
dropped to the lowest ball seat
and pressure applied to open the
lower set of ports. The pump rate
can then be increased to pump
through the jets in the tool. To
stop jetting, a second ball is
dropped and pressure applied
to close the upper set of ports.
In all versions of the tool, the balls
remain on their seats at all times,
but when the ports are closed,
pumping can be resumed through

How it works
The machined OD of the gauge
sleeve matches the API or a custom drift size of the casing. The
tool is built on a one-piece main
mandrel with box-up/pin-down
drill-pipe connections. The
gauge sleeve is free to rotate on
the mandrel and remain static
when the drill pipe is rotated,
preventing wear and/or damage to the casing ID. There are
no bolts, threaded-on rings,
clamps or welding used in the
construction of the tool, so
there are no components to
loosen and fall off downhole.
The tool should be run above
other casing-cleaning tools to
ensure the casing has been
cleaned prior to drifting with
the sub.

Features
Benefits

Permits drilling in the liner below
without no-going on PBR/TBR
as a restriction
Saves valuable rig time by

eliminating trips
Drilling is enabled in the liner
below without no-going on
PBR/TBR as a restriction
How it works
After dressing off and cleaning the
PBRs/TBRs, additional weight is
applied and the inner mandrel
of the mill set shears through the
mills, allowing the drill pipe above
to be tripped in the hole further.
The mill set remains in the PBR/
TBR to protect the already cleaned
receptacles while other drill pipe
is tripped in the hole and/or
rotated. The ability to disengage
through the upper PBR/TBR means
that a conventional set of mills can
land on another PBR/TBR below
the first, and allow it to be dressed
in the conventional manner. The
disengageability allows drillingmilling to take place in the liner
below without no-going or landing on the existing liner top and
preventing further progress in
the hole.
48
The Disengageable Mill

Assembly left behind in the
PBR/TBR is then collected by the
inner mandrel as the drill pipe is
retrieved from the well. A unique
feature of the unit is a set of trip
buttons that prevents the separation of the mills from the mandrel until the mill set is correctly
positioned inside the relevant
PBR, thus preventing unwanted,
unplanned premature release.
When the unit has been located
and left inside the PBR, additional
no-go/landing subs can be spaced
out to land and stop. This allows
activation of other weight-set tools
such as the MFCT (Multi-Function
Circulating Tool).

The sub lands on the liner-top
polished-bore receptacle or other
suitable shoulder and allows the
MFCT tool to be sheared open
and remain open while circulating. When resting on the subs
shoulder, the whole string can
be rotated as fluid circulated
through the MFCT ports. When
the string is lifted, the MFCT ports

close and the Bearing Sub leaves
the shoulder and opens the flow
path, allowing circulation down
the string and up the liner and
casing annulus over the liner top.
The whole string can still be
rotated with the Bearing Sub
off the liner top.

The Bearing Sub allows the entire

drillstring to be rotated while circulating with the Standard-Type
MFCT (Multi-Function Circulating
Tool) device in either the open or
closed position.

Pressure Shear Sub

Sometimes, a reliable source of
additional pressure inside the drillstring is required to activate other
tools. The Pressure Shear Sub is
designed to meet this need.
Applications
The Pressure Shear Sub (PSS) from
is specifically designed to be run
in a drillstring to apply temporary
pressure for actuating another
tool above the PSS, such as a
near-bit reamer.
PSS
Features
One-piece, full-strength body
Full pressure integrity
no holes or ports in body
Ball retained on seat in tool
Benefits
Enables pressure to be applied
to other tools in the string
when required
How it works
The tool consists of a one-piece
body with an internal inner- and
outer-sleeve arrangement. The tool
is run in the initial position, which
allows flow through the string.
When additional pressure is
needed inside the drillstring, the
ball is dropped and landed on the
inner sleeve. Pressure is then built
up behind the ball to activate the
50
other tool above the PSS. Once the

other tool has been actuated, the
driller increases fluid pressure until
the predetermined shear pressure is
reached. The inner sleeve shears and
moves downward, re-establishing
flow to the bit.
The PSS is used to apply additional pressure required to activate
other tools in the string.

RAZOR BACK CCT with Integral Top Dress Mill
Applications
This tool is designed as a mechanical aid for cleaning wellbore casings
and dressing liner-top PolishedBore Receptacles (PBRs). The tool

is HTHP-compatible and not vulnerable to chemical or acid attack.
It can be run as a stand-alone device
or in conjunction with circulating
tools, BRISTLE BACK CCT units and
chemical cleaning agents. The
RAZOR BACK CCT unit is very robust
and effective in removing mud
solids, heavy cement sheath, heavy
pipe scale and perforation burrs
from the casing ID, in addition to
dressing off the liner-top PBR.
Features
Benefits
Secure components
Self-centralizing,
flexible-blade lantern
casing-liner sizes; complete
with top dress mill for all
common PBR sizes
Removes cement and mud

solids, burrs, pipe scale
Enhances chemical
cleaning action
Scrapes casing very close
to the liner top
How it works
The RAZOR BACK CCT device
consists of a one-piece body, a
non-rotating stabilizer sleeve,
a non-rotating scraping bladed
lantern, and an integral linertop dress mill. The body rotates
through the upper stabilizer sleeve
to avoid wear/damage to the casing
during pipe rotation. The bladed
lantern is strong and flexible and
provides the force to contact and

clean 360 of the pipe ID. The
lantern is self-centralizing inside
the pipe to ensure equal cleaning
force at all angles of inclination.
No clamps, bolts, threaded rings,
springs or multiple scraper blocks
that may be lost downhole are
used in tool construction.

The RAZOR BACK CCT (Casing

Cleanup Tool) with Integral Top
Dress Mill from M-I SWACO
WELLBORE PRODUCTIVITY ensures
that the casing is scraped to a point
very close to the top of the liner so
that subsequently installed linertop tieback packers will be set and
sealed in a clean, properly prepared
section of casing.

VARO BACK Combination Casing Cleanup Tool

The VARO BACK* Combination Casing
Cleanup Tool from M-I SWACO
WELLBORE PRODUCTIVITY is a
mechanical aid for cleaning wellbore casings. It consists of a onepiece body onto which brush pads,
scraper blades, magnet pads and
stabilizer sleeves can be added. The
scraper blades and bristle pads are
strong, durable and provide the
force to contact and clean 360
degrees of the pipe ID. The HTHPcompatible VARO BACK tool is centralized inside the pipe to ensure
adequate cleaning force at all
angles of inclination.
Applications
The VARO BACK tool can be run as a
standalone device or in conjunction
with circulating tools and chemical
cleaning agents. The unit is very
robust and effective in removing
mud solids, heavy cement sheath
52
and heavy pipe scale from the ID of

casing. The tool will catch and hold
small quantities of ferrous material.
Operation
The VARO BACK Combination Casing
Cleanup Tool is run as an integral
part of the cleanup string to scrape
and brush the casing as the pipe is
run in the hole. The tool operates
as the string is reciprocated. While
running in the hole, it is good practice to break circulation and reciprocate the pipe regularly (for example
every 5,000 ft [1,524 m]) to disperse
any debris buildup.
When running or pulling the tool
from a floating rig, ensure that the
tool is not in the BOP/wellhead area
when making or breaking a connection on the rig floor. This will avoid
any damage to the well or the tool
due to rig heave.
Features
Benefits
Removes mud solids,

cement sheath, pipe scale
and ferrous debris

Disposable BRISTLE BACK CCT

Applications
In addition to running in conjunction with drillable or permanent
bridge plugs or cement retainers,
the Disposable BRISTLE BACK CCT
(Casing Cleanup Tool) unit from
can be attached to cementing
plugs to brush-clean the pipe
wall as the plugs are pumped
down the casing/tubing during
cement-displacement operations.
Features
Benefits
Removes mud solids, cement

sheath and pipe scale
casing/liner sizes
Supplied with customerrequested connection
Drillable with polycrystalline
or rock bits
Area for setting plug or packer

can be thoroughly cleaned by
reciprocation immediately prior
to setting
How it works
In the case of bridge plugs or
cement retainers, the tool is
attached to the bottom of the
packer. As the device is run in
hole to setting depth, it brushes
and cleans the casing or tubing.
The setting area for the packer or
plug can be thoroughly cleaned

by reciprocating the device prior
to the setting sequence.
The Disposable BRISTLE BACK
CCT unit is run in conjunction
with drillable or permanent bridge
plugs or cement retainers.

BOP CLEANING TOOLS
ANCILLARY TOOLS
The area in which a plug/packer

is to be set often requires thorough
cleaning by reciprocation prior to
the setting sequence. Having the
option to run a drillable cleanup
tool in conjunction with drillable
and permanent bridge plugs and
cement retainers can greatly
improve the reliability of
the setting operation.
