Patent

CA 2482507

A self-propelled swabbing device and method for use in removing liquid to surface from within an installed wellbore casing. The device includes a longitudinally extending plunger sized to fit within the wellbore casing, and includes an internal surface defining an internal flow passage extending longitudinally therethrough. The device further includes a seal between the plunger and the casing and a valve stem having a valve operative to be shuttled between an opened position and a closed position to seal the internal flow passage. The stem extends longitudinally through the plunger to form a piston and sealed chamber maintained at a pressure below that desired for closing the valve. A biaser is further provided for biasing the valve in the opened position until a set pressure is reached, at which point the valve is shuttled to the closed position and flow through the internal flow passage is stopped. The device may include snap-closed and snap-open magnetic devices for ensuring that the valve remains either fully closed or fully open.
