What is a Tubing Broach?
The Tubing Broach is used for re-sizing the inside diameters of downhole completion equipment and helps enlarge or modify the bore of tubing strings. It is also designed to repair damaged or collapsed tubing and remove or broach tight spots in tubing strings. The most commonly used broaching tools are made from one solid piece of material that feature a series of staggered cutting edges that start at a small diameter and incrementally increase until reaching its maximum diameter. This design allows the tool to cut or shear materials from the tubing wall.
Applications
- Used for re-sizing the inside diameters of downhole completion equipment.
- Can be used to repair damaged or collapsed tubing.
- Cutting or shear materials from the tubing wall.
Key Features & Benefits
- The cutting faces of the Tubing Broach are hardened and tempered, which enhances their durability and cutting ability.
- Specifically designed to handle more difficult scale and debris removal tasks in the well bore.
