Chemical cutting pipe

[sweetdiesel]

Long storey short

We needed to cut some tubing that was 4000 feet in the ground.

We get a service hand to bring out this chemical and after the safety meeting I was advised to look up the MSDS on the chemical

http://www.ocsresponds.com/ref/msds/msds-che.pdf

Stable compound. Reacts violently or explodes on
contact with water and organic materials.
Hi Temp Gas Generator Grain May liberate hydrogen gas creating an explosive
hazard.​

Incompatibility​

​

​

Bromine trifluoride Water, plastics, hydrocarbons, and other organic
materials.​

Hazardous Decomposition​

​

​

Bromine trifluoride Bromine, fluorine, bromine monofluoride are normal
hazardous decomposition products. Reactions may
produce hydrogen fluoride.
Hi Temp Gas Generator Grain Carbon, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxides​

Polymerization​

​

​

Both Polymerization will not occur.​

FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA​

Flashpoint​

​

​

Both N/A​

Extinguishing Media​

​

​

Bromine trifluoride Nonflammable
Hi Temp Gas Generator Grain Do not attempt to fight burning grain.​

Corrosive and extremely irritating to the upper and

lower respiratory tracts, skin, and eyes. Bromine
trifluoride hydrolyzes to form hydrofluoric acid;
therefore, skin burns and mucus membrane irritation
are similar to those caused by the acid. Symptoms
include tearing of the eyes, cough, difficult breathing,
abnormal fluid formation in the nose, mouth, and
throat. Inhalation of Bromine trifluoride may cause
pneumonitis (deep lung inflammation) and pulmonary
edema (abnormal fluid build up in the lungs) which
could be fatal. Symptoms of hydrofluoric acid burns
are severe pain, redness, possible swelling, and
tissue​

BAD STUFF!

The stuff ate though the tubing instantly!

Sounds like something fun!

:devil:

I was looking for something new to try in the parts washer....

Hopefully you guyy where scba when useing tht and not just charcole filters reperators. any time it says dont atempt to fight fires you no its bad stuff

Mike: Have you seen my turbo?
Simon: Ya Mike, it's in the parts washer
Mike: there is nothing in the parts washer
Simon:


:rofl::rofl:

lol :rofl:

So they lower this gadget down the inside of the pipe, the feed water to it to dissolve the pipe? Is this what they use when they jam a drilling head and want to recover the pipe segments?

also the parts washer is now gone too.

Ive never used chemicals to part drillpipe or any drillstring due to it being stuck. It sounds like this chemical is more during production or exploration. 99% of the time when you get stuck while drilling, its not at the bit, its hydrostatically stuck against the open wellbore in a lost circulation zone, and it will create enough vacuum to stick the slick sided drill string to the wall.. If Jarring on the string dont free it up, then we will just back off the top of the stuck spot with a free-point assembly.

Simple enough for you to say.

Fixed it for ya.

Errrr, Mike beat me to it...

Close
They lower it down on a electric wire line inside a tool

once the tool is at the desired depth they send a voltage down the line and opens up the canister mixing it with water and presto the pipe is parted

yup on the production

not enough room for the overshot to go between tubing and casing,So you need the collar removed

Now running in with a overshot and drill collars and some jars.
we are stuck in sand right now and the well is building pressure now under the sand compressing it even more we are stuck good!

Were you flowing back a frac Simon or just doing a clean-out?

 

[mytmousemalibu]

pretty nasty stuff! BUT dosent hold a candle to "chinese food farts"

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

 

[NukleusX]

chinese food farts? dam thats nothing compared to some people's i knows sushi farts... good lord! :rofl::rofl::rofl:
