Product Code: WBI PDS 0003
The WBI Hydraulic Tubing Cutter is a 3 bladed hydraulically activated cutting device used to cut downhole production tubing, casing and drill pipe, providing a safe alternative to chemical and explosive cutters. The tool is run in conjunction with a positive displacement motor and can be run on coiled tubing or jointed pipe. A high expansion hydraulic anchor is also available and is typically included in the cutting assembly to prevent any movement of the cutter during activation which is a common cause of failure. The tool incorporates a dual activation piston which increases the axial load on the cutter blades to ensure a clean and efficient cut.
Circulation through the jet sub creates the internal pressure required to shift the dual piston and blade cams which force the cutter blades to expand. The jet sub incorporates interchangeable jetting nozzles to adjust the flow rate required to achieve the desired activation pressure. The upward facing jets help to clean the cut area while also cooling the cutter blades. On completion of the cut the spring loaded blade return mechanism ensures the cutter blades are returned to the run-in position and retained within the body of the tool.
The cutter blades can be dressed with a variety of cutting structures with each set of blades purpose built and designed to suit the particular size and grade of tubing / casing to be cut.
Features:
- Dual activation piston for clean and efficient cut.
- Three blade design for maximum stability.
- Blades fully retracted and retained within the tool.
- Variety of cutting structures to suit all material grades.
- Interchangeable jetting nozzles.
- Fully field redressable.
