A cleanout system and method for removal of metal debris from a fluid flow, such a flow of re-circulated drilling mud employs one or more magnetic unit positioned in the path of the fluid for collecting metal particles from the flow. The magnetic unit has a removable magnet core positioned in a non-magnetic sleeve. When the core is removed from the sleeve the attracted metal particles are allowed to drop from the sleeve under gravity to facilitate their collection and disposal. A fluid deflector is positioned upstream from each magnetic unit, protecting the magnetic unit from direct impact by the strong flow. The magnetic units are allowed to pivot from side-to-side and adjust their position in the flow. |

A downhole magnetic debris tool is disclosed that may be connected to the bottom of a packer isolation plug. The downhole magnetic debris tool may include a magnetic shield assembly that shields the magnets and prevent the collection of magnetic debris as the packer isolation plug assembly is run into the well. The packer isolation plug assembly is inserted into the internal seal bore of a set packer. The assembly protects the seal bore from damage and prevents debris from moving downhole. The magnets of the downhole magnetic debris tool may be unsheathed upon removal of the packer isolation plug from the packer. The downhole magnetic debris tool may be used to collect magnetic debris that has collected on top of the packer. Additionally, the magnet shield assembly may act as a debris basket collecting downhole debris while the assembly is pulled from the hole. |

The invention is a system for retrieving loose metallic debris, such as stray radioactive marker bullets, from a borehole in a subterranean formation. The system can be used to retrieve stray radioactive marker bullets during placement of the radioactive marker bullets in the subterranean formation. The system utilizes a downhole fishing tool having at least one recessed magnetic surface for attracting and holding stray radioactive marker bullets. The recessed magnetic surface allows the fishing tool to be removed from the borehole without scraping off retrieved marker bullets that are held against the magnetic surface. |

A tool for retrieving metal objects from a wellbore has a plurality of magnet assemblies spaced longitudinally along a tool body. Each magnet assembly has a plurality of magnet members, which can be arcuate or longitudinal, covering a majority surface area of the tool body. In the embodiment of the invention having longitudinal members, magnet protectors are secured immediately adjacent to a corresponding magnet member for deflecting striking force of the metal particles being attracted to the magnet during rotation of the tool. A trap space if formed between the magnet and an adjacent magnet protector for retaining more metal particles within the magnet assemblies. |

A magnetic assembly is used in wells that are lined with a metal casing so as to attract and collect resulting metal debris after perforation of the metal casing by a perforating tool. When the perforating tool was activated in the past, the metal debris typically fell downward inside of the metal casing and needed to be retrieved by a flushing or similar procedure. The present invention involves attaching a magnetic assembly to the bottom end of the perforator tool to collect the metal debris as it falls after perforation of the metal casing. The magnetic assembly includes a steel pipe filled with spaced magnetic discs, and also includes a guide shoe on one end of the pipe and a thread adaptor on the other end. The guide shoe facilitates insertion of the magnetic assembly into the mouth of the well casing, and centres the assembly once inside. The thread adaptor is used to attach the magnetic assembly to the bottom end of the perforator tool. |

A remotely operable downhole basket for use at the bottom of a fishing string in a well bore has a tubular body. Inside the tubular body is a tubular finger basket having a plurality of slots in which fingers are pivotally mounted. The fingers are normally biased out of the slots into horizontal positions. At the bottom of the tubular body is a tubular opener. The outer side of the tubular opener is in a vertically sliding relationship with the inside wall of the tubular body. The opener is configured at its upper end to push the fingers into their respective slots. The tubular opener has an actuator shoe at the lower end of the tubular opener. The top end of the actuator shoe is adapted to abut against the lower end of the tubular body to stop upward travel of the opener relative to the tubular body. A circular return spring is positioned between the outer side of the tubular opener and the inside wall of the tubular body. The return spring exerts a force on the tubular opener which is downward relative to the tubular body. |

A multipurpose fluid flow assisted downhole tool that is adapted for attachment to the lower end of a pipe string to be extended into a well bore and which is capable of cutting sample cores from subsurface earth formations and removing the cores for evaluation. The tool is also capable of removing ferrous metal objects from the bottom of the well bore by both mechanical and magnetic means in conjunction with object movement assistance that is provided by flowing fluid in the vicinity of the bottom of the well bore. The well servicing tool includes an internal mechanism that has the capability of achieving reverse circulation of fluid in the vicinity of the bottom of the well bore which causes fluid flow from the annulus between the tool and the well bore, upwardly into an internal object collection chamber defined by the well tool and then outwardly of the well tool and upwardly through the annulus between the pipe string and the well bore to the surface. Ferrous objects are attracted by a magnet movably disposed within the object collection chamber and nonferrous objects are transported into the object collection chamber by flowing fluid and are retained therein by a plurality of object retainer fingers defining the bottom portion of the object collection chamber. |
