Abstract

See full text

A downhole cleaning tool for cleaning a casing is provided with a diverter cup assembly (102) including a housing (126) and a resilient swab cup (105) slidably mounted on a tubular body (120) with an increased external diameter portion 128 defining at either end upper and lower limit stops (130, 132), and sized to make provision for a gap (136) which allows a sliding movement of the swab cup such that only one of limit stops (130, 132) engages to always pull the swab cup via optional bearings (134) at each extremity of the sliding travel according to whether the tool is being run in hole or pulled out of the hole. This means that the swab cup is not compressed into a squat oversize shape susceptible to contact damage, and is naturally drawn out to tend towards an elongate shape in either direction of tool motion.
