Flow remediation specialist, Pipetech, has announced the launch of its revolutionary Downhole Scale Remediation (DSR) technology, set to redefine wellbore cleaning solutions for the global energy sector. Supported by the Net Zero Technology Centre’s (NZTC) emissions reduction programme, this innovation promises to redefine wellbore cleaning solutions while advancing sustainable practices.

The DSR directly addresses long-standing industry challenges posed by scale, wax, and other naturally occurring deposits that obstruct fluid flow, compromise production efficiency and create unsuitable surfaces for bridge plugs. Unlike traditional cleaning methods that rely heavily on corrosive chemicals, the DSR leverages a rotational high-pressure water-jetting system. Its advanced water-jetting nozzle tracks and adapts to a wellbore’s varying inner diameter (ID), delivering precise and effective cleaning for safety valves, side pocket mandrels, and other critical areas, restoring surfaces to bare metal with unmatched efficiency.

Patented in the UK and US, the DSR offers a transformative approach to tackling stubborn wellbore scale. In November 2024, the technology achieved proof of concept during qualification trials at Pipetech’s Aberdeen facility, independently verified by a third-party consultant to ensure alignment with industry standards. Client trials with leading energy operators further validated its potential to enhance production efficiency while significantly reducing environmental impact.

Looking ahead to 2025, field trials will take place to demonstrate the DSR’s superiority over existing chemical and mechanical methods. These trials aim to position the DSR as a faster, more effective solution, opening significant market opportunities. Additionally, global testing is scheduled across redundant wells in the UK, Norway, and other international locations to confirm its adaptability and reliability in diverse field conditions.

Leonard Hamill, Operations Director at Pipetech, emphasised the significance of this breakthrough: "The DSR technology represents a major step forward for the energy sector. By combining advanced engineering with an eco-conscious approach, we’re providing a solution that tackles a long-standing operational challenge while aligning with the industry’s sustainability goals. We are proud to lead this innovation and are thrilled by the strong interest we’ve received from major operators, which underscores the DSR’s potential to become a game-changer in flow assurance.”

The DSR is set to launch in the coming months, with Pipetech confident it will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of flow assurance technology.
