WAX CUTTING TOOL FOR REMOVING WAX FROM AN OIL WELL TUBING

Abstract:

A wax cutter tool for removing wax from an internal wall of an oil well tubing is provided that includes a central wax cutter tool body and one or more wax cutter elements. The central wax cutter tool body is configured to be attached to an elongate member for deployment down an oil well tubing. The wax cutter element extends radially outwards from the central wax cutter tool body and has an outer working surface for engaging the internal wall of the oil well tubing. The one or more wax cutter elements are flexible and may be compressed when deployed within the oil well tubing such that the outer diameter of the outer working surface of the one or more wax cutter elements is reduced to match an inner diameter of the oil well tubing.
