Abstract: An electrochemical well pipe cutting instrument, applicable in particular for cutting any type of pipes accessing underground works with conductive fluid inside, includes at least one device for ensuring electrical continuity and at least one electrode. The instrument also includes at least one device for ensuring mechanical fixation of the instrument in the pipe such as an anchor. The device for ensuring electrical continuity, the anchor and electrode can be adjusted in length to suit different diameters of pipe within a large range. Optionally the electrodes are located on a rotary device. The instrument is connected to a main instrument body which includes an electronic module, at least one centralizer and a CCL module with an inclinometer. The main instrument body is connected to a cable head which ensures the communication to a surface unit.
