Abstract

See full text

Method has been provided for cleaning a vertical, deviated or horizontal underground well. In which a maintenance tubing having a cleaning head at its end is lowered into a production pipe for suction of sediments. At a certain level above the region of the well to be cleaned, a hydraulic isolation device is installed in the annulus between the maintenance tubing and the production pipe. Fluid is injected into the annulus to activate the hydroejector which is located above the hydraulic isolation device to cause the suction of the sediments. The sediments downhole therefore can be cleaned out without introducing foreign fluid downhole.
