The Aker Kvaerner Cone Crusher™ tool assembly is run in conjunction with the PowerTrac® Advance™ (PTA) wireline tractor and is set up with a special rotation adapter, mill gear and shock absorber for weight-on-bit control.
The PTA tractor wheel section can be utilized as an anchoring device in vertical sections and an anchoring and forward thrust device in horizontal sections of the well.
The Cone Crusher technology has a robust design, with a main body and four rotating cutting cones. Each cutting cone rotates freely on its own axis, independently of the main body RPM. Each cone has a unique cutting pattern, which crushes the scale and allows the flow of oil or gas to resume.
The Cone Crusher scale mill tool is a valuable addition to the methods available for scale removal, especially in extended-reach and horizontal wells. The tool is an effective intervention method to restore well productivity and can be a cost-effective alternative to coiled tubing services.
