PIPE RECOVERY
Having the right tools and wealth of pipe recovery expertise in your back pocket, better prepares you for the unexpected in the oilfield. Quickly addressing rig time loss is just as crucial when encountering stuck pipe issues.
United Solutions, in partnership with Chammas Cutters Inc. provides the best solution for this
Chammas Plasma Cutter & Perforator
Benefits
Designed with varying well conditions in mind, the Chammas Plasma Cutters and Perforators (CPC) provide wireline operators the assurance to deploy these tools in the harshest well conditions. The CPC is rated up to 15,000 psi and 400 degF.
Chammas also offers a self-anchoring tool that can operate even when the tubing and annulus are not balanced. Another advantage of Chammas' plasma cutter is there are no moving parts, making our tool more reliable. Complex design, yet simple assembly, makes the product the ideal choice when cutting stuck pipe.
We offer 24 hr. technical support along with comprehensive training for field personnel regarding safety guidelines and technical application.
How the Chammas Plasma Cutter Works

Advantages Of the Chammas Plasma Cutter (CPC)/Perforator (CPP)
Thermite is a pyrotechnic composition of metal powder and metal oxide. When ignited by heat, thermite undergoes an exothermic reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction and can create brief bursts of heat and high temperature in a small area.
Elemental Aluminum reduces the oxide of another metal, in this common example, Iron Oxide, because Aluminum is stronger and has more stable bonds with Oxygen than Iron.
Fe2O3 + 2 Al → 2 Fe + Al2O3
- A heating coil is heated by applying current from surface that ignites the thermite cartridge, which then causes the solid thermite rods to burn.
- The burning thermite raises the temperature and the pressure inside the tool.
- The mixture of hot plasma is forced through the internal orifices of the severing head and exits the tool with intense heat and high pressure.
- The hot plasma (6,000 degF) is directed towards the internal diameter of the tubing and cuts it instantaneously.
