Casing Backoff Tool
Perform casing backoff in vertical and horizontal wells

Applications
Replacing worn or damaged sections of uncemented
casing, in vertical or horizontal wells

Benefits
■■ Provides backoff solution for horizontal wells
■■ Simplifies operations by eliminating need for left-
hand drillstring
■■ Facilitates operations by leaving threaded connection
for re-engaging new casing string after worn casing
is removed
■■ Supports further drilling by eliminating reduced casing
drift diameter resulting from internal casing patches
■■ Contributes to operational safety by maintaining original
casing strength and integrity

Features
■■ Hydraulic anchors eliminate need for drill collar weight
to achieve backoff
■■ Tool generates up to 60,000 ft.lbf
■■ Tool design eliminates need for overtorquing
connections in a left-hand workstring on a “blind”
backoff from surface

The casing backoff tool facilitates backoff of uncemented

casing stumps at a selected coupling location downhole
after a section has been cut and retrieved. The tool is
effective in vertical or horizontal wells.

The tool features nine subassemblies, including two

hydraulic anchors and a torque generator. The hydraulic
anchors allow the backoff tool to be used in horizontal
wells because drill collar weight is not required to hold
the anchors open. The tool is cycled, and, using hydraulic
pressure only, the torque generator and anchors work
in tandem to breakout and unscrew the casing threaded
connectors with approximately one-half turn per cycle.
When connection torque is sufficiently lowered, the
backoff tool is pulled out of the hole, and a casing spear is
run to complete the unscrewing and recovery of the casing
stump. A threaded connection remains downhole for the
new casing string to be stabbed into and made up.

Schlumberger can also supply subs for aligning the old and
new casing strings to facilitate proper makeup downhole.

External Casing and Tubing Patches
Repair casing in regular or slimhole wellbores

Applications
Restoring integrity to damaged tubulars in regular or slimhole sections

Benefits
■■ Simple, economical installation
■■ Minimal impact on further drilling because it does not restrict
casing ID

Features
■■ Lead or packer-type sealing mechanisms available
■■ Extensions for underwater wellhead applications available for
packer-type patches
■■ Corrosion-resistant alloys (CRA) and low-yield alloys available for
sour service wells by special order
■■ Regular or slimhole versions available

External casing and tubing patches are designed to repair damaged

casing or tubing strings quickly and economically, without reducing the
ID. The casing or tubing string must be removed to a point below the
damaged section. The top of the casing or tubing stub is then dressed
with a milling tool, and the patch is run over the casing or tubing to
a depth sufficient to engage the slip. The external casing patch is
available in standard and slimhole types. The slimhole version is ideal
for small, restricted wellbores or for use below a restriction.

Mechanical Casing Cutter
Easily convert to alternate cutting diameters for flexibility in casing and
drillpipe cutting

Applications
■■ Cutting casing and drillpipe in multiple locations
■■ Cutting casing where circulation problems are encountered

Benefits
■■ Reduced rig time by easy conversion to alternate inside
cutting diameters
■■ Greater efficiency with downhole resetting and
disengaging capability

Features
■■ Adjusts to cut multiple casing sizes, often without tool conversion
■■ Disengages and resets to run-in position automatically when
casing is cut

The mechanical casing cutter quickly converts to alternate inside

cutting diameters, increasing flexibility while reducing rig time. The tool,
used for casing sizes of 41/2 in to 133⁄8 in, consists of a friction assembly
to assist setting the tool in the pipe, a slip assembly to anchor the tool,
and a retractable cutting assembly. Frequently, no conversion of the
tool is needed for cutting different diameters of pipe; often, only the
slips and friction blocks need to be changed. The tool also features an
automatic nut, which permits repeated resetting and disengaging of the
tool without returning it to the surface.

The TMC fishing accelerator tool improves

jar impact and provides a supercharged blow
directly above the fish. Used in conjunction
with the TMC fishing jar, the TMC accelerator
tool maximizes jar impact regardless of depth
because it can either replace pipe stretch
as the energy source in shallow holes, or
supplement the pipe stretch energy in deeper
wells. The TMC accelerator tool’s robust
design, materials quality, and comprehensive
QA requirements ensure reliable performance
in the harshest of fishing conditions.
Note: The Jar-Pact fishing program should be utilized to
optimize performance of accelerator tools and TMC jars.
Schlumberger recommends that the TMC fishing accelerator
tool be used in conjunction with this tool. Contact

Cement Mill
Cement mills are designed for light milling:
float collars, plugs, bridge plugs, and retainers.
An open pattern cuts quickly on tubular
fish, and the mill resists clogging by cement
or formation. Cement mills cut steel faster
and are more durable than a steel-tooth bit.
And, when compared with the steel-tooth
bit, the cement mill is recommended as a
better option.

Cement mills are available in 3½-in to 17½-in

sizes with 31⁄8-in to 9½-in fishing necks.

Impression Blocks
Impression blocks are used to determine the
position and condition of the top part of fish
or junk obstructing the borehole. Impression
blocks feature a steel body that’s lower end
is fitted with a block of soft material, typically
lead. The tool is made up on the running string
and lowered without rotation to make contact
with the obstruction. The resulting contact with
the obstruction leaves an impression on the
block’s soft material that can be identified at
surface. With this information, the appropriate
fishing equipment can be deployed.

Boot Basket
Boot baskets catch debris that is too heavy to circulate out of the
hole during drilling and milling operations. As cuttings flow past the
boot basket’s larger OD, smaller OD, and its top connection, a sudden
decrease in annular velocity is created, allowing the boot basket to
trap junk. Boot baskets should be run as closely as possible to the mill,
bit, or junk basket, and they can be run in tandem to increase junk-
retrieval capacity. Boot baskets are available in a range of sizes to run
with most BHAs.

Downward Shooting Cannon

Applications
■■ Removing obstructions in tubing and casing
■■ Dislodging set bridge plugs
■■ Opening casing restrictions and realigning parted casing
■■ Providing an alternative when milling target material is impractical

Benefits
■■ Reduces operation costs by removing wellbore obstructions more
efficiently than other costly intervention methods
Features
■■ Bullet has standard fishing neck
■■ Design enables running on a slickline, e-line, coil tubing, or drillpipe
■■ Custom designs available upon request

The downward shooting cannon (DSC) is a ballistic device, which

propels a large bullet in a downwards direction to breakup or dislodge
wellbore obstructions. The DSC can be used as an alternative when
target material hardness or free rotation of the target makes milling
operations impractical.

The DSC has been used successfully in oil and gas wells to remove
several types of obstructions:
■■ Fragmentation of broken flappers from subsurface safety valves
■■ Unsetting bridge plugs, allowing them to be pushed downhole
■■ Removing bull plugs from the end of tubing completions

Using propellant, or a similar equivalent, the resulting gas expansion

accelerates the bullet down the barrel of the tool to directly impact the
target at a velocity of 3,000 to 5,000 ft/s.

The DSC bullet is retrievable from the well and custom made fishing
necks can be added to the bullet to aid recovery.
