A Tubing Swage
The Rebco A Tubing Swage is a hardened-steel tool engineered to reform and restore lightly collapsed, dented, or otherwise constricted sections of tubing, thereby allowing wireline tools, subsurface controls, and completion equipment to pass through freely. When a section of tubing is mechanically deformed, whether from wellhead loads, surface handling damage, parted tubulars, or partial collapse from external pressure, the resulting restriction can prevent tools from reaching their target depth or trap tools already downhole. The Swage restores that bore without requiring a workover rig or tubing pull.
The OD of the tool is machined to the drift diameter of the tubing in which it is to be run, the same standard used to qualify tubing for downhole tools during manufacture. Both the upper and lower ends of the Swage are tapered to ease entry into the restriction and provide gradual reforming action as the tool is jarred through. A central bore with lateral porting allows wellbore fluid to bypass through the tool body as it transits the tight section, preventing hydraulic lock from stalling or trapping the tool at the restriction. Because the swage must be forced through the constriction using downward jarring, upward jarring capability must also be included in the tool string to recover the swage in the event it becomes lodged.
Available in standard threaded and Type C box-bottom connections, ¾"–6⅝" OD. Custom sizes available on special order.
Important: Always include upward jarring capability in the tool string when running a Tubing Swage. If the swage becomes lodged in the restriction, jar-up capability is the primary recovery method. Running without jar-up risks leaving the swage trapped in the tubing.
How to Order: Part Number is 10700x.xxx (0 prefix for ODs less than 1.00"). All Tubing Swages are part-numbered by OD to 3 decimal places ±.002". Metric prefix: 10701. For Type C (box bottom): specify at the time of order. If the box connection differs from the standard pin, specify the required thread.
