Instrumentation and surface control improve the success rates and efficiency of wireline rotary brushing and honing. Data based operational planning and real-time data feedback allow for efficient operations with measurable outcomes. This paper compares two types of instrumented, wireline-powered rotary cleaning assemblies by assessing their performance, cleaning efficiency, operational factors, and real-time logging outputs.
Basic rotary brushing physics along with characterization curves of the systems explain the relationship between operational factors including rotational speed, torque, and downhole power requirements. Models of the operational factors were created so that preoperational planning and real-time data interpretation can be used to verify intervention objectives.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
