Pipetech is excited to unveil a market-changing, well cleaning solution, which will dramatically improve the ability to effectively remove scale downhole, cleaning back to bare metal regardless of internal diametrical changes.
Pipetech have been supported by NZTC (Net Zero Technology Centre) to develop a Downhole Scale Remediation system (DSR), a patented solution for the cleaning of downhole wells which suffer from the build up of naturally forming scale, wax or other deposits.
■ Superior cleaning
■ Ability to track inner diameter changes which can provide effective cleaning in areas such as SSSVs & perforations.
■ Deployed using industry known pressure control systems.
The DSR provides an effective alternative to other forms of intervention and chemical treatments, offering significant cost savings and allowing operators to manage issues such as scale regularly, safely and at low cost whilst minimising environmental impact of chemical treatments

Pipetech’s Downhole Scale Remediation (DSR) is a patented solution to remove the build-up of scale from downhole wells. Inspired by Pipetech’s scale removal experience, the development of the DSR signals an important milestone for scale remediation operations within downhole wells.
Offering an efficient, precise, and more environmentally conscious cleaning solution than previously standardised, the DSR has been developed to overcome the global downhole scale challenges.
Developed with support from the Net Zero Technology Centre, the DSR will help the industry’s journey towards advanced and long-term sustainable solutions by addressing the environmental and operational inefficiencies in existing chemical and mechanical methods.
The DSR’s turbine design enables the nozzle head to rotate, maximising its capacity to clean and remove scale, wax, cement, and corrosion build-up whilst conforming to any internal diameter changes.
The DSR offers the following advantages:
■ Superior remediation (back to bare metal) performance, backed by Pipetech’s vast experience in focussed cleaning solutions
■ Ability to track inner diameter changes, providing superior cleaning to areas including SSSVs & perforations
■ Deployed using industry recognised pressure control systems.
■ Successful initial prototype testing success for the removal of scale in an SSSV
■ Patent granted in UK and US and applied for in Europe (including Norway)
■ Does not affect integrity of existing casing, tubulars, or tools.
The DSR provides an effective alternative to other forms of intervention and chemical treatments. It offers significant cost savings and allows operators to successfully and safely manage scale-related issues while minimising cost and the environmental impact of chemical treatments.
The ability to adapt to inner diameter changes, provides the best-in-class cleaning performance.
