The Abrasive Release Connector combines the functionality of a coiled tubing connector and a disconnect into one tool. This combination allows for a shorter BHA as well as the ability to leave the entire BHA disconnected downhole. If the BHA were to become stuck, a ball is dropped from surface to activate the tool. Once landed, this ball redirects flow to a cutting mechanism within the Abrasive Release Connecter. After redirecting the flow, an abrasive slurry is pumped from surface and within a matter of minutes, the abrasive slurry cuts the tool, separating the BHA from the coiled tubing. What is left is a “slick” OD that matches the coiled tubing with no external upsets to catch on additional debris while pulling out of hole, reducing the likelihood of having to cut coil at surface.
