A part of the RaptR™ Liner Cleanup System the RaptR™ Relockable Safety Swivel is a downhole safety device which prevents twist-off of the drill pipe due to over-torque which can be relocked when desired.
Features
- External shear pins can easily be removed or added on site to achieve the desired over-torque shear rating
- Upper Bearing and Lower Bearing allow rotation in compression and tension
- Internal circulation system keeps the Lower and Upper bearings cooled and lubricated when in use
- Simple ball activated relocking method to relock the swivel during operations to allow full string rotation if required
- Compatible with other OWS ArmRdilloTM WellBore Clean-up tools
Benefits
- Cost savings
- Maximize chemical clean-up and displacement efficiency by allowing high speed rotation inside the production liner
- Increases Well Productivity
- A properly executed wellbore clean-up removes fine debris which can block screens and pore throats reducing well productivity
- Reducing Non-Productive Time
- Prevents unnecessary fishing jobs
Applications
- Allows circulation above a Packer or other similar type tool
- Allows circulation above a packed off Wellbore Filter Tool
- Jetting, Circulating, Tripping Dry Pipe
- Drillstring BHA relief valve if bit gets plugged
Operational
- Determine the torque protection setting of the RaptR™ Relockable Safety Swivel and add or remove the shear screws at surface as required
- In the event of excessive torque in the lower string below the RaptR™ Relockable Safety Swivel the shear pins will shear which activates the swivel
- With the swivel activate the internal impeller system continuously flushes the bearings to keep them cooled and lubricated. The swivel works in both tension and compression
- If desired the RaptR™ Relockable Safety Swivel can be re-locked by dropping an activation ball and pumping down to a ball seat. By applying pressure the spring-loaded locking mechanism is cocked. Increasing the pressure blows the ball seat to re-establish flow to the bit and relocks the swivel
