Slickline Downhole Wire Scratcher

The Essential Intervention Tool for Wax and Scale Remediation

Combat production losses caused by waxy buildup with the specialized Slickline Paraffin Scraper. This robust, mechanical bottom-hole assembly (BHA) tool is specifically designed to be run on slickline to aggressively scrape, cut, and remove hard paraffin, asphaltines, and mineral scale adhering to the inner walls of the production tubing. By clearing blockages and restoring the full bore, the Paraffin Scraper is critical for maintaining optimal flow efficiency and preventing costly well shutdowns.

Design & Operation: Clearing the Tubing ID

The Downhole Paraffin Scraper is engineered for maximum effectiveness and durability in harsh well environments:

• Scraping Elements: The tool utilizes multiple spring-loaded or fixed blades (scrapers) made from hardened steel or specialized alloys. These elements are sized to the internal diameter (ID) of the tubing string.

• Aggressive Action: The tool is weighted and jarred downhole to physically contact and break loose deposits. The scraping action is focused on the restricted areas of the tubing where paraffin accumulation is most severe.

• Deployment: Run on the slickline, the tool is lowered to the depth of the buildup, where repeated runs are performed to clear the restriction. The loosened debris is then carried out of the well by the flowing fluid or removed using a sand pump/bailer.

Key Benefits of Utilizing the Paraffin Scraper

Regular and effective paraffin scraping is a non-negotiable part of maximizing well production and operational integrity:

1. Restore Production Rate: By removing restrictions, the tool quickly restores the full internal diameter of the tubing, resulting in immediate and significant increases in hydrocarbon flow.

2. Prevent Future Issues: Regular scraping prevents severe, solidified blockages that require more expensive and aggressive interventions (like coiled tubing or hot oil treatments).

3. Cost-Effective Remediation: As a slickline mechanical solution, it is one of the most cost-effective and fastest ways to deal with waxy deposits compared to chemical treatments.

4. Maximize Tool Passage: Ensures that critical tools, like pressure gauges or shifting sleeves, can be subsequently run to their required depth without obstruction.

Ready to Reclaim Lost Production?

Don’t let wax buildup steal your production revenue. Specify the correct Slickline Paraffin Scraper for your tubing size and ensure your downhole flow path remains clear and optimized.
