Solution for Active Downhole Swarf Collection

Patented, field-proven in 75 operations. Captures, stores, and secures swarf downhole – leaving return flow above Swarfix® WCT, swarf-free.

The Swarf Challenge
Milling swarf in the mud return flow can cause malfunction in the BOP and topside equipment. String magnets will lose efficiency over time – allowing swarf to reach surface. Swarfix® WCT collect 100% of the swarf.

Available Models The Swarfix® WCT is currently available in two models:
• Swarfix® WCT 1338 — for 13 3/8″–14″ casing exits
• Swarfix® WCT 958 — for 9 5/8″–10 3/4″ casing exits

Future Development
Swarfix® WCT 1858 18 5/8″–20″ casing exits
• Adapt the Swarfix® WCT technology for section milling applications

How It Works

  1. Plan & Position – Placed in the drill string as a result of operational planning.
  2. Activate – Swarf capture starts at the required pump rate during milling.
  3. Stay Clean – Clean magnet section during operation.
  4. Collect & Store – Swarf is collected, stored and secured downhole.

Result: Consistent performance, zero manual handling offshore, and reduced wear on critical equipment.

Comprehensive Swarf Management

  • Downhole Swarf Collection – Captures and stores 100% of milling swarf downhole.
  • Eliminating clean-up trips and surface risks.
  • Onshore Swarf Handling – Secure backloading and recycling at onshore location, following approved waste procedures.
  • Field Support & Training – operator training and 24/7 operational support.
  • Plug and Play – Easily adapts to any whipstock milling operation.
