Abstract

See full text

A “mini-severing and back-off” tool includes a tubular magazine for a column of explosive pellets that are sized in diameter to provide a predetermined weight of explosive per unit column length. The tubular wall is vented at prescribed intervals for fluid pressure equalization between the internal bore of the tubular and the fluid pressure around the outside of the tubular. A fluid barrier is positioned between one end of the explosive pellet tubular and a detonator or an explosive booster provided to detonate the explosive pellet tubular. The explosive pellet tubular is positioned within the flow bore of a pipe string and adjacent to an intended pipe joint, and the explosive pellet tubular is detonated simultaneously with an application of torque on the pipe string, wherein the torque is applied in the thread release direction to disassemble the intended pipe joint.
