Retrieval of injection valve from tubing crossover at depth

Written by Peak Well Systems | 05-Jul-2016 04:30:00

A Customer was retrieving a bridge plug and injection valve to surface when the injection valve separated from the plug and landed at the 5-1/2" by 4-1/2" tubing crossover at 10,400ft.

An efficient method to fish the injection valve without causing damage to the tubing crossover was required so the injection value could be pulled and a new injection valve set.

Peak’s Solution

Peak’s 4.5" OD High Temperature/ High Strength Magnet was run downhole on slickline to the location of the tubing crossover at 10,400ft.

At depth, the pick-up weight increased significantly - by over 50lbs - confirming the Magnet had a magnetised hold of the injection valve on the first attempt.

Due to the powerful strength of the Magnet, the injection valve was successfully pulled to surface.

Why choose the HTHS Magnet?

The High Temperature / High Strength Magnet is used to recover loose ferrous objects from within a well.

Unlike normal magnets, the Peak magnetic insert can withstand prolonged exposure to very high downhole temperatures without losing magnetic strength.
