Abstract: A casing brush tool for cleaning interior walls of a well bore casing. The brush tool has a free rotating sleeve mounted on a mandrel with bearings mounted between the sleeve and the mandrel to facilitate rotation. The sleeve carries a plurality of non-axial rows of bristles that are arranged to wind in a spiral, or helical fashion from one end of the sleeve to the other end. When moved in and out of the casing, the spiral rows of bristles cause rotation of the sleeve and by contacting the walls of the casing, clean the casing of the extraneous matter. A casing brush assembly may incorporate one or more of the brush tools. If more than one brush tool is used, it is preferred to use the sleeves having opposite direction of bristle rows such that the sleeves rotate in opposite directions when lowered into the well bore or retrieved from the casing.

Abstract: An anchor assembly for a downhole tool has upper and lower frictional engagement member for engaging with an inner wall of the casing. The upper frictional members are spring-tensioned, while the lower frictional engagement members slide, to certain degrees, in relation to a longitudinal axis of the anchor assembly. At the same time conical engagement between the lower frictional members and the supporting surface causes the lower frictional members to extend outwardly and engage the inner surface of the casing. As a result, the working tool, for instance a sand cutter secured to the anchor assembly is stabilized in the casing, and an even cut may be performed.

Abstract: Casing cutter for severing multiple tubulars in a well bore has a pair of cutter blades pivotally mounted on a support body. The blades are pivotally mounted for gradual movement outside of the support body when downward force is applied to proximate ends of the cutter blades. The support body is rotated inside the innermost of the multiple tubulars, while the cutter blades sever the tubulars of progressively increasing diameter.

Abstract: A tool for retrieving metal debris from a wellbore has a plurality of magnet assemblies spaced longitudinally along a tool body. Each magnet assembly has a magnet member, which forms a primary debris settling area. Each magnet member is protected by a magnet protector. A secondary debris settling area is formed between a magnet and an adjacent magnet protector to allow utilization of the residual magnetic force created by the magnet members. The secondary debris settling area occupies at least half of the surface area of the primary settling area.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: This invention relates to a tool for recovering a downhole equipment stuck in the formation. The tool provides for the use of a power source mounted a distance above the equipment to be recovered. An elongated shaft is rotationally connected to the power source, the shaft having unbalanced weight which is distributed over at least a part of its length. When the power source transmits torque to the shaft, the shaft begins to vibrate, transmitting the vibration to the downhole equipment which causes loosening of the soil surrounding the equipment and facilitates recovery of the equipment.
