Roto-Jet Jetting Tool
Remove hard-scale deposits with single-pass cleaning from surface to total depth
Remove downhole deposits
The Baker Hughes Roto-Jet™ jetting tool
economically removes downhole deposits
that can impede well productivity. This
unique, rotary jetting technology introduces
destructive stress cycling to the deposit by
accurately controlling the rotational speed of
the jetting nozzle.
With each pass of the jet stream, surface
cracks are briefly pressurized to induce local
tensile stress in the scale. This stress cycling
occurs several times each second and causes
brittle scale to shatter into small particles that
are easily transported to surface.
The result is single-pass cleaning from surface
to total depth. Even the hardest scales, such
as silicates and barium sulfate composites,
can be removed with Roto-Jet technology.
In cases of significant scale accumulation, the
Roto-Jet tool can be used after an initial pass
with a motor and mill. While nondamaging
to the completion, the aggressive jetting
action provides full inside-diameter cleaning,
including completion jewelry profiles of
varying geometry.
Stimulate production
The Roto-Jet tool enhances acid delivery to
the formation, maximizing the benefits of
stimulation chemicals and, ultimately, well
performance. The tool’s aggressive rotary
jetting action is compatible with nitrogen,
many diverting agents, and all fluids, and
combines with our proprietary stimulation
chemical systems to aggressively wash and
remove filter cake and drilling mud damage
in horizontal openhole completions. In
conventional completions, focused radial
jets ensure acid is delivered uniformly to
each perforation.
