Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9109205A1] Method for cleaning a vertical, deviated or horizontal underground well. A maintenance pipe (1-7) is lowered through the production column (10), which maintenance pipe has at its end a cleaning head (7) for suction of sediments to be extracted; at a certain level (L) above the region of the well to be cleaned, a hydraulic separation of the ring comprised between the maintenance pipe (1-7) and the production column (10) is effected, and a motor fluid is injected in the ring in order to operate a hydroinjector (3) which causes the suction through the maintenance pipe (1-7) of sediments to be extracted, the hydraulic separation isolating the overpressure ring (LH) from the bottom of the well in depression. Application to the oil industry and well drillings.
