CURVED PIPE

Main functions of a shoe pipe (TP):

• Drilling out cement and sand-clay plugs

It is used to remove temporary cement bridges and plugs.

• Bottomhole cleaning from hard deposits

Effectively removes paraffin, salt, asphaltene-tar and other dense formations.

• Milling of foreign objects in the borehole

Can be used to break up small metallic or non-metallic objects.

• Eliminates drilling and workover complications

Allows free passage of equipment during workover or well development.

• Rooting out difficult sections of a well

Allows to eliminate constrictions and narrowed sections of the borehole.

Design and principle of operation:

• Robust tube with reinforced cutting edge - provides mechanical destruction of obstacles.
• Can be equipped with carbide elements to increase wear resistance.
• Functions as part of the drill string - transmits rotation and load to the bottom hole.

Advantages of shoe pipe (TP):

• High strength and reliability in difficult conditions
• Versatility - suitable for drilling and cleaning applications
• Ability to handle different types of materials (cement, paraffin, sediment)
• Extends well life by preventing complications
