Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2565372A1] Apparatus and method for penetrating cement (300) surrounding a tubular (200) cemented to a formation (400). The apparatus comprises a bore (10) through the tubular wall (200), and an intermediate fluid channel (102) in an insert (100) within the bore. An inner sleeve (120) may be disposed on the interior surface of the tubular wall (200). The inner sleeve (120) is movable between a closed position wherein fluid connection between the interior of the tubular and the bore is prevented, and an open position wherein fluid connection between the interior of the tubular and the bore is allowed. An abrasive and/or etching fluid is supplied through the channel (102) to remove cement and/or the insert (100) or piston assembly.
