Abstract: A milling bit is disclosed for debris collection within a wellbore. A check valve can be part of a debris removal tool that includes a motor, a pump, a gearbox, a bailer, the milling bit, and rotational shafts. In an example, on its uphole end, the milling bit can be coupled with the check valve. On its downhole end, the milling bit can be configured for debris removal with cutting edges. The downhole end can also include openings that provide access to an internal cavity of the milling bit. The internal cavity can extend the entire length of the milling bit. This allows the pump to pull drilling fluid into the bailers through the milling bit and check valve. As a result, the debris removal tool can simultaneously remove obstructions in a wellbore and collect debris from the obstruction removal.

Abstract: Systems and a tool are disclosed herein for improved debris collection within a wellbore. An example debris collection tool can include a motor rotationally coupled to a pump by a first flexible shaft, the pump rotationally coupled to a gearbox by a second flexible shaft, and the gear box rotationally coupled to a milling bit by an additional shaft. The flexible shafts can be made of a flexible, but durable material that can absorb strain created by a pump whose rotor rotates eccentrically with the axis of rotation offset from the axis of symmetry. The flexible shafts can be made of a durable and flexible material that can withstand the strain created by the eccentric rotation.

Abstract: A rotating check valve is disclosed for improved debris collection within a wellbore. The check valve can be part of a debris removal tool that includes a motor, pump, gearbox, bailer, milling bit, the check valve, rotational shafts. On its uphole end, the check valve can be coupled with the bailer such that the check valve can rotate relative to the bailer. Also on the uphole end, the check valve can be rotationally coupled to a shaft that passes through the bailer and couples with the gearbox. On the downhole end, the check valve can be rotationally coupled to the milling bit. The check valve can include a torque transfer mechanism that transfers torque generated by the motor and gearbox to the milling bit. The check valve can include a unidirectional flow control mechanism that restricts the flow of fluid and debris to the uphole direction.

Abstract: Slickline cables and methods for preparing such cables are disclosed. A slickline cable includes a pre-manufactured polymer composite rod having a channel therein; an optical fiber disposed in the channel; a fastener securing the optical fiber in the channel, wherein the fastener is selected from the group comprising a polymer tape, a polymer layer, and a combination thereof, and an outer tube disposed outside the polymer composite rod having the optical fiber therein. A method for manufacturing a slickline cable includes preparing a polymer composite rod having at least one channel therein; placing at least one optical fiber in the at least one channel in the polymer composite rod; securing the at least one optical fiber in the at least one channel using a polymer tape, a polymer layer, or a combination of a polymer tape and a polymer layer; disposing an outer tube over the polymer composite rod.
