Pipe Recovery

Renegade pipe recovery experts evaluate the challenge, then devise a proven, customized solution to locate, free or sever and then recover the stuck pipe. We offer a full range of cutters, torches, freepoint/backoff and associated services along with the expertise to solve any situation.  

Free Point/Backoff Operations

When pipe or tools become stuck in the well, Renegade provides fast response, safe operations and a knowledgeable crew with the best equipment to locate, free and retrieve stuck tools or pipe.

Circulating Pyro Torch

Based on proven Radial Cutting Torch technology, the Circulating Pyro Torch is used in operations that require annular flow prior to cutting. The circulating pyro torch delivers a consistent and reliable punch in coil tubing, casing and drill pipe. Using the latest proprietary non-explosive, non-hazmat rated technology, your job is completed faster and safer.

Radial Cutting Torch

Radial Cutting Torch can sever tubing, casing, drill pipe and coiled tubing without the use of explosives or hazardous materials. Patented, innovative technology allows the torch to cut virtually any type of pipe in well environments up to 500°F (260°C). The tool can be shipped worldwide within 24 hours, while remaining compliant with safety regulations.  

JET AND CHEMICAL CUTTERS 

Jet cutters and chemical cutters are used in situations where the back-off method is not practical. For jet cutting, specially designed, shaped explosives produce a high-velocity jet that acts radially to sever tubing or casing. The jet cutter is the fastest and most economical method to cut tubing or casing.  

Chemical Cutters use high-pressure bromine trifluoride acid to cleanly cut the pipe. 

Stuck Pipe Log

Provides a continuous record and evaluation of a stuck pipe string. It can be used through drill pipe, casing or tubing to identify problem areas in harsh environments up to 450°F (232°C) and 20,000 psi (138 MPa). Renegade provides a complete understanding of the situation, so an informed decision and pipe recovery plan can be put in place.
