The ultimate scale remediation system for downhole safety valves and wellbore efficiency.

Page last modified
March 11 2025

Pipetech are developing the ultimate scale remediation system for wellbore and downhole safety valve applications. The Downhole Scale Remediation (DSR) is a compact technology, incorporating real time data telemetry monitoring and pressure control that will set an entirely new global standard for wellbore and safety valve scale management. 

Pipetech Downhole Scale Remediation is a patented solution for the cleaning of downhole wells which suffer from the build up of scale. DSR is a turbine which allows a nozzle head to rotate, maximising its capacity to clean and remove scale build up in the downhole environment.

DSR offers the following advantages:

  • Superior remediation (back to bare metal) performance from a company with vast experience on focused cleaning solutions

  • Ability to track inner diameter changes which can provide superior cleaning in areas such as SSSVs & perforations.

  • Deployed using industry known pressure control systems.

  • Initial prototype testing success for removing scale in a SSSV.

  • Patent granted in US & UK, applied for in Europe (inc. Norway).

     

    The downhole cleaning system provides an effective alternative to other forms of intervention and chemical treatments, offering significant cost savings and allowing operators to manage issues such as scale regularly, safely and at low cost whilst minimising environmental impact of chemical treatments.
