Subsurface wellbore wiper deployment system and method of use
A subsurface wellbore wiper deployment system includes a plug having an elongated body with an exterior surface; one or more exposed wipers extending away from the exterior surface; and one or more hidden wipers secured to the exterior surface and positioned underneath a removable sleeve; and a landing collar having a landing seat extending into an interior of the landing collar; the removable sleeve is to engage with the landing seat upon deployment of the plug; and the landing collar removes the removable sleeve to expose the one or more hidden wipers.
1. A subsurface wellbore wiper deployment system, comprising:
a plug having:
an elongated body with an exterior surface;
one or more exposed wipers extending away from the exterior surface; and
one or more hidden wipers secured to the exterior surface and positioned underneath a removable sleeve; and
a landing collar having a landing seat extending into an interior of the landing collar;
wherein the removable sleeve is configured to engage with the landing seat upon deployment of the plug; and
wherein the landing collar removes the removable sleeve to expose the one or more hidden wipers.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more exposed wipers comprises a first pair positioned below the sleeve and a second pair positioned above the sleeve.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more hidden wipers comprises a pair of hidden wipers.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the landing seat is dissolvable.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plug further comprises a nose at a leading end of the elongated body.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the removable sleeve is dissolvable.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plug further comprises:
an attachment ring secured around a periphery of the plug;
wherein the attachment ring is configured to engage with the sleeve to cover the one or more hidden wipers.
8. A subsurface wellbore wiper method, the method comprising:
securing a landing collar with a landing seat at a location along a casing string;
providing a plug having an elongated body with one or more exposed wipers and one or more hidden wipers extending from an exterior surface of the elongated body, the one or more hidden wipers being covered by a removable sleeve;
performing conditioning operations within the wellbore;
inserting the plug into the casing string to be displaced down the casing string;
wherein the one or more exposed wipers of the plug provide a wiper function within the wellbore string; and
wherein the plug travels through the landing collar such that the removable sleeve engages with the landing seat and separation of the removable sleeve occurs via differential pressure.
9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
inserting a bottom plug into the casing string prior to cementing operations.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the landing seat and removable sleeve are dissolvable.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the plug further comprises:
an attachment ring secured around a periphery of the plug;
wherein the attachment ring is configured to engage with the sleeve to cover the one or more hidden wipers.
12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more exposed wipers comprises a first pair positioned below the removable sleeve and a second pair positioned above the removable sleeve.
13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more hidden wipers comprises a pair of hidden wipers.
