M23 and M24 Casing Cutters


Weatherford's hydraulically actuated M23 and M24 casing cutters cleanly cut a
wide range of casing sizes and weights without special surface equipment, making
them some of the most versatile and easy-to-operate tools of their kind. Cutting
pipe of any size within range of the tool in use requires only a change of knife.
The rotary table, top drive, power swivel, or downhole motor can provide rotating
power for these extremely rugged and efficient casing cutting tools. M23 and M24
cutters can be run directly on the drillpipe or with drill collars; however, Weatherford
recommends limiting use of collars to applications for which additional weight is
needed, such as cutting from a floating vessel.

Applications
! Cleanly cut a wide range of casing sizes and weights without special surface
equipment

Features, Advantages and Benefits


! M23 and M24 casing cutters require no special surface equipment. Simplicity and
a minimum of working parts make these cutters efficient, versatile, and rugged.
! Hydraulic actuation makes these cutters efficient and easy to use.
! The exclusive indicator bushing triggers a distinct pressure drop, giving an
obvious and unmistakable indication that the cut is complete.
! All principal parts are manufactured from special-quality, heat-treated alloy steel,
which extends the tool life and keeps the tool intact under the toughest operating
conditions. Inner parts are made from stainless steel for high corrosion
resistance. All knives are dressed with the finest-quality tungsten carbide
available.

M23 and M24 Casing Cutters

Equipment
The difference between the M23 and the M24 casing cutters is the number of knives. The M23 model
has three knives; the M24 model has four. The four-knife arrangement introduces a different knife pin
pattern and method of holding the pins in place. Otherwise, the internal parts of the M23 and M24 are
the same, and both models follow the same basic design and operation principal as all Weatherford
casing cutters.
The cross-section drawings and parts list illustrate and identify all internal parts of the M23 and M24
casing cutters.

Assembly
The only difference between assembly of the M24 and assembly of the M23 casing cutter concerns the
knife pin arrangement for accommodating the fourth knife. To reinstall the knives, reverse the knife
installation procedure.
Note: If knives are being replaced for running back in the hole, always install each new knife in the first
open slot, with the knife pin partially in place, before removing or replacing the other knives. One-by-
one installation eliminates the need for prying down the knife rest bushing to slip in the knife heel
between it and the piston. Gather all listed parts.
1. Inspect all threads and sealing surfaces to ensure that all parts are free of damage, paying special
attention to areas near sealing members.
2. Repair or replace parts as required.
3. Use anti-galling compound on all threads and down hole grease on all O-rings. Heavily grease all
internal parts. Avoid damage to parts by using a soft jaw vise and strap wrenches to tighten
connections.
4. Set the tool body upright, and drop in the knife rest spring.
5. Use the hooked rod to set the knife rest bushing into place.
6. Install the piston assembly. (Refer to the Piston Bore Tolerances chart.) Push down the piston
assembly only far enough to permit threads on the indicator spider to engage.
7. Allow make-up of the indicator spider to push down the piston.
8. Use the indicator wrench to run down the indicator spider until the indicator spider shoulders.

Note: Bump the indicator spider snug, not tight. The thread is meant only to hold the indicator
assembly in place when the top sub is not in place.
9. Install the knives.
a. Set the tool upright, and check the piston location through the knife slot. If the bottom of the
piston is visible, pry the piston upward until the bottom is level with, or above, the top of the slot.
b. Install the short knife pin first, and proceed clockwise around the tool. With the pry bar under the
pin, have a helper press the knife rest bushing downward so that the shoulder on the bushing
meets the body.
c. Pick up the knife. With the point in one hand and the heel in the other, slip the knife in its slot,
and set the bottom of the heel on top of the knife rest bushing. Lift the point upward, and slip it
inward until the hole in the knife lines up with the hole in the body.
d. Slip the pin in place. Hold the knife by the point in a horizontal position. Have a helper remove
the pry bar and the knife pin.
e. Maintain the horizontal position of the first knife while installing the second, third, and fourth
knives to eliminate the need for prying down the knife rest bushing.
10. Install the knife pin keepers and retainer screws.
11. Install the top sub, and tighten by hand.
12. Make up the bull nose sub to the bottom of the tool.
13. Paint the exterior of the tool before storing.

Disassembly
Proper cleaning is very important and should be done as soon as possible after each use of the tool.
The entire unit, including internal working parts, is exposed to saltwater and drilling fluid chemicals.
Disassembly is simple: The indicator assembly holds in all internal parts. Knives must be removed to
allow removal of the knife rest bushing.
1. Remove the knives.
a. Set the tool upright, and remove the socket head cap screw.
b. Remove the knife pin retainer key.

c. Take the end of the knife in one hand, and elevate the knife.
Caution: Use gloves. Tungsten carbide dressing on the end of the knife may be sharp enough
to cut fingers. Have a helper also elevate and hold other knives slightly higher than the one
being removed.
d. With a punch or small bar, push out the knife pin from right to left.
2. Proceed counterclockwise around the tool to remove all knives.
Caution: Lay knives on the floor. Do not drop them.
Note: If knives are being replaced for running back in the hole, always install each new knife in the
first open slot, with the knife pin partially in place, before removing or replacing the other knives.
One-by-one installation eliminates the need for prying down the knife rest bushing to slip in the knife
heel between it and the piston.
3. After all knives and the top sub are removed, remove the indicator assembly with the indicator
wrench (not shown) by rotating to the left.
4. Lay the tool horizontally on the floor. With a bar small enough to pass through from the bottom,
push out the knife rest bushing and the piston through the top opening.
Note: If the piston is too tight to push out with a bar, use a piston pulling tool.
5. Use a heavy wire or a small rod with a hook on the end to remove the spring.
6. Rinse the tool, inside and out, and all internal parts with fresh water, if available. If fresh water is not
available, use kerosene or diesel fuel. If rust is present, wire brush the piston cylinder and the
narrow portion of knife slots. Heavily grease the entire internal area, including the bore that accepts
the spring and knife rest bushing.

Operation
Typical operating parameters dictate rotary speeds starting at 40 rpm and working up to smooth torque
outputs, usually not exceeding 130 rpm. Pressure requirements seldom exceed 1,000 psi; and, except
under extremely unusual conditions, cuts should be made with no more than 400 to 600 psi across the
tool. Minimal fluid is required, as the cutter is equipped with a small orifice, located in the indicator
assembly, which expands when the tattletale indicator functions. Weatherford strongly recommends
use of seawater for circulating fluid to avoid damage to internal parts. If drilling mud must be used, it
should be as free of abrasives as possible.

M23 and M24 Casing Cutters

Setting the Indicator


Indicator function is controlled by location of the jam nuts (3e) on the indicator stem (3a). The jam nuts
are pre-set so that the indicator bushing, located in the top of the piston, will pull away from the stem
(3a) when knives reach an angle of 45° to 55° from the vertical.
The sweep of the knife length must exceed the casing outside diameter (OD) for a thorough cut;
therefore, no one indicator setting can serve for all casing sizes and all knives. The indicator must be
set according to job specifications. The tool must be in an upright position, with the top sub removed,
when the indicator is being set.
Determine the appropriate diameter of sweep desired, and select and install the knives.
1. Remove the indicator assembly (3), break the jam nuts (3e), and run both up the stem (3a), against
cap (3h).
2. Reinstall the assembly (3) firmly against the shoulder at the bottom of the tool joint thread.
3. Measure and note the distance from the tool joint shoulder to the top side of the indicator spider
(3b).
4. Have helpers lift and hold two knives (or three knives, in the case of a 7-in. tool) to a full horizontal
position.
5. Pull the remaining knife outward until the point of the knife reaches a distance from the body equal
to half the diameter of the predetermined sweep less half the diameter of the tool body.
6. Push down the indicator stem (3a) and the piston until the bottom of the piston contacts the heel of
the knife being held partially open.
Note: The handle of a sledge or heavy ball peen may be required for driving down the piston in
larger tools.
7. Press down the indicator stem (3a) lightly to ensure contact with the indicator bushing.
8. Measure from the tool joint shoulder to the top of the indicator cap (3h). The difference between this
measurement and the measurement of the tool joint shoulder to the top side of the spider (3b) is the
distance that the top of the cap (3h) should be from the top of the spider (3b) for this particular
setting.
9. Remove the spider. Screw the jam nut (3e) down on the stem (3a) to the point where the top of the
cap (3h) is held at this dimension from the top of the spider when the jam nut contacts top of
indicator sleeve (3c).

Cutting multiple strings of casing from a floating vessel


While cutting single or multiple strings of pipe from a floating vessel, hold the casing cutter in a fixed
vertical position, just as for cutting from a jackup-type drilling rig. Add progressively longer knives as
each smaller pipe is cut. Elevate the tool enough to allow the point of the longer knife to enter the slot in
the smaller pipe. This procedure is accomplished on jackup rigs by marking the kelly and latching the
drum brake; however, on floating vessels, the procedure is not as simple. Some degree of constant
vertical movement is certain, no matter how calm the sea or how stationary the vessel might appear to
be.
Counter this vertical movement while cutting on a floating vessel without a compensator by using one
or more bumper subs in conjunction with the Weatherford Marine Swivel landed in the subsea wellhead
equipment. One or more bumper subs must be located in the drilling string above the marine swivel.
Elevating the casing cutter progressively after each cut incorporates the use of a combination of spacer
subs of various lengths placed in the string between the marine swivel and the casing cutter. Each
different combination of three given sizes of pipe requires a different combination of knives and spacer
subs; however, a particular combination of spacer subs must always be used with matching knives,
regardless of the pattern followed for cutting, such as attempting to cut two sizes of pipe with a single
size of knives.

M23 and M24 Casing Cutters


Bumper subs, marine swivel, and spacer subs are all essential for successfully cutting the larger sizes
of pipe from a floating vessel; but, of the three, the most important are operable bumper subs with
sufficient travel to completely offset the full vertical movement of the vessel. The bumper subs used
should be of the largest diameter available, whether cutting with or without the marine riser in place, but
especially if cutting is to be done after removal of the riser. A variety of conditions can affect the
outcome of cutting casing from a floating vessel; but the following suggestions and procedures apply to
cutting 13 3/8-, 20- and 30-in. pipe under average conditions:
• Run the 7- and the 9 5/8-in. casing without the optional lock-in snap ring (Vetco) or slip (Cameron)
in place. This configuration facilitates removal of the 7- and 9 5/8-in. casing.
• While running casing, strap weld or tack threaded joints of the 13 3/8- and 20-in. casing where
attached to the guide section of the wellhead housing. This step applies to all threaded joints above
future potential cutting points. Skipping this step presents the risk of a length of casing above cut
point backing out during the cutting operation; the tool actually mills upward as the knives extend,
creating a back-out action against the casing above the knives. In this event the housing must be
removed and the short length of casing fished out. Otherwise, the cut casing will ride on top of the
knives, rotating with the tool and preventing further cutting.
• Cutting casing from a floating vessel is preferable with the riser in place, which allows for faster trips
and eliminates troublesome, time-consuming stabbing with use of remotely operated vehicle (ROV),
diver, or running a guide. This scenario allows faster cutting and almost ensures proper function of
bumper subs. If safety or operational considerations preclude cutting all three strings with the riser
in place, then the riser should at least be left in place for cutting the 13 3/8- and 20- casings, if
possible. The 13 3/8-in. housing can then be left in place when stack and riser are removed for
landing the marine swivel back at the original landing point in 13 3/8-in. housing for cutting 30 in.
casing.
• If the drill string is in open sea, without the riser in place, undercurrent will cause the string to bow.
When rotation is started, even if undercurrent is not present, friction drag of the string in seawater
will usually cause string to bow and crawl in a counter-clockwise circle. Bowing of string can
sometimes be partially controlled by increasing or decreasing the speed of the rotary but cannot be
completely eliminated. The bow in the drill string exerts a lateral force on the bumper subs, greatly
retarding and, in most cases, completely preventing it from functioning. The casing cutter will then
move up and down the casing with the heave of the vessel. The resulting damage to the knives
may make completing the cut impossible without using several sets of knives. Should the cut be
completed, the slot will be at an unknown point, which could prevent making subsequent cuts
according to plan.

M23 and M24 Casing Cutters

Cutting a single string of 7-in. casing


1. Select the landing point for the marine swivel, and dress the swivel with proper support rings for
landing in the Hydril. Alternatively, use an adapter support sleeve, Weatherford Part No. 10620, if
landing is to be made in 7-in. wear bushing. (See “Weatherford Marine Swivel Series” document.) If
running the latter, ensure that the 7-in. wear bushing is in place.
2. Dress the 5 1/2-in. OD M24 casing cutter with appropriate knives.
3. Go in the hole, and install the marine swivel in the string so that the tool arrives at the depth where
the cut is to be made at the time that the marine swivel lands in wellhead.
4. Start rotation of 140 to 150 rpm, and note the amps and or torque load.
5. Start the pump, slowly raising pressure until considerable torque is noted at the rotary. Depending
on depth, as much as 2,000 psi of pump pressure may be required. Erratic torque indicates that the
knives are cutting through the outer wall of the casing, A pressure decrease will be seen once the
knives have reached their pre-set sweep, by the function of the indicator assembly.
6. Shut down the pump after torque has smoothed out and pressure loss has been indicated, allow
time for pressure to equalize, and pull out of the hole.
7. Retrieve the 7-in. cutter with a spear or running tool. If a spear is used, run a spear stop, properly
spaced above the spear, as grapple sets in the pipe, not in the casing hanger.

Cutting a single string of 9 5/8-in. casing


Proceed exactly as described for cutting 7-in casing, using an 8 1/4-in..OD Weatherford M23 casing
cutter, dressed with appropriate knives. If an adapter support sleeve is used on the marine swivel,
ensure that a 9 5/8-in. wear bushing is in place in the wellhead. Weatherford recommends using a
stabilizer above the casing cutter. If a worn-out bit is used below the tool, strap weld it to prevent
spinning off in the event the tool hangs up slightly at high rotating speed.

Cutting a single string of 7- and 9 5/8-in. casing from a floating vessel


Use the 5 ½-in. OD Weatherford M24 casing cutter, dressed with appropriate. knives, for simultaneous
cutting of 7- and 9 5/8-in. strings at the same depth. Arrange the Weatherford Marine Swivel and slide
joints in the drill string in the same pattern described for cutting 13 3/8-, 20- and 30-in. casing.
Proceed with cutting as described for cutting 7-in. casing. Roughness first indicates that the knives
have cut through the outer wall of the 7-in. casing and, following, that the knives have cut through the
outer wall of the 9 5/8-in. casing.

M23 and M24 Casing Cutters

Cutting 13 3/8-, 20- and 30-in. casing from a floating vessel


Weatherford recommends landing its Marine Swivel, dressed with 13-3/8 in.-OD support and stabilizer
rings, in 13 3/8-in. underwater wellhead housing at the point that carries the 13 3/8-in. wear bushing,
when in place, followed by the 9 5/8-in. casing hanger. This landing point is approved by major
manufacturers of subsea wellhead equipment. Landing at this point provides a fixed location from which
to operate while cutting 13 3/8-, 20-, and 30-in. casing with or without a stack and riser in place.

First run: cutting the 13 3/8-in. casing


1. Dress the 12 in.-OD Weatherford M23 or M24 casing cutter with appropriate knives, approximately
6.03-in
2. Check the indicator setting for correct sweep.
3. Install a spacer sub 8 in. shoulder to shoulder, on the pin end of the Weatherford Marine Swivel.
4. Add a 10in shoulder to shoulder spacer sub, Weatherford Part No. 9957.
5. Add drill pipe or pup joints so that the casing cutter will arrive at the targeted cutting point at time
marine swivel lands in wellhead housing.
6. Run one joint of drill pipe above the swivel; then slip joint, as required; and drill collars to the kelly.
Use the most weight that drill collars can provide above the slip joints to prevent the slip joints from
being pumped apart. Unless the slip joints are of balanced type, internal pressure will extend the
mandrel, making it inactive.
7. Start rotation after hookup is completed and the kelly is in place but before starting the pump.
Increase speed to 100 to 120 rpm.
8. Note the amps and/or torque required.
9. Start the pump, slowly raising pressure until considerable drag is noted on the rotary.
10. Increase speed to 140 to 150 rpm, until smoothest rotation is achieved. Considerable roughness
and kelly slap signal that the knives have cut through the outer wall of the casing. The roughness
and kelly slap soon smooth out and are followed by a distinct momentary drop of pump pressure,
caused by the indicator. Closely watch the pressure gauge at this time: Pressure will return rapidly
as the pump speed increases.

11. Continue rotating until drag on the rotary table approaches the amp load achieved during rotation,
before pressure was applied to the tool. This step allows the knives to continue upward movement,
milling pipe away to increase the width of the slot.
12. Shut down the pump, allow time for pressure to equalize (usually 15 to 30 minutes), and come out
of the hole.

Second run: cutting the 30-in. casing


1. Dress the 12-in. OD Weatherford M23 or M24 casing cutter with appropriate knives, approximately
13.74 in.
2. Re-check the indicator setting for knife sweep, if necessary.
3. Remove the 10-in. spacer sub.
4. Leave the 8-in. sub, in place.
5. Go in the hole, following the same procedure as for previous cuts. Again, additional pump pressure
may be required.
6. Regulate rotation speed and pressure for smoothest rotation. When the indicator functions at 30 in.,
the casing should be cleanly cut. If rotary is still running roughly when the indicator functions,
continue to rotate an additional 30 to 45 minutes. If the tool continues to run roughly, and if there is
any doubt that the cut is complete, a fourth run can be made with longer knives; however, an
additional run should be necessary only if the 13 3/8-in. casing is considerably off center in relation
to the 30-in. casing. This scenario is highly unlikely unless the cut is being made a considerable
distance below the wellhead and the guide sections were possibly omitted on the 13 3/8 - and 20-in.
housing.

Third run:
1. Dress the 12-in. OD Weatherford M23 or M24 Casing Cutter with the appropriate knives,
approximately 22 1/2-in.
2. Remove the 8-in. spacer sub in place.
3. Proceed as for previous cuts. With longer knives, more pump pressure will be required, and
considerably more rotating time will be necessary before the knives reach the indication point. More
of the 13 3/8- and 20-in. casing must be milled away than on the previous run.

Summary
Run Pipe Size Knife Legacy Number Length of Knife Spacer Subs
1 13-3/8 in. 62303-003 6.03 in. 1- x 8-in.
2 30 in. 62303-007 13.74 in. 1- x 8-in.
3 30 in. 62303-009 19.74 in. None

Spacer Subs
The following example illustrates the importance of using the prescribed knife sizes when running
spacer subs, regardless of sequence of run:
• The plan is to cut and remove the 13 3/8-in. casing and to cut both 20- and 30-in. casing while, at
the same time, landing the marine swivel, dressed with 20 1/4- or 30 1/2-in. support plate, on top of
20-in. housing.
• Cut the 13 3/8-in. casing low enough to avoid the need for stabbing the lower end of the tool into
the 13 3/8-in. casing left in the hole.
• Proceed by installing appropriate knives. Install 8- and 10-in. spacer sub in the string between the
swivel and the cutter.
• If the first attempted cut of both strings is unsuccessful, use the original pattern (13.74-in. knives
with 8- spacer sub) for cutting 20-in. casing; then rerun the 19.74-in. knives spacer sub for
completing the 30-in. casing cut.
If 13 3/8- and 20-in. casings are to be cut and removed before cutting the 30-in. casing, the smaller-size
casings should be cut 8 to 10 ft below the planned cutting point for the 30-in. casing. This allowance
provides ample room for a tool with longer knives to operate above 13 3/8- and 20-in. casing left in the
hole and to allow for spacing lost when landing the marine swivel at the lower point on top of 30–in.
