Abstract:
An improved chemical composition and process for cleaning pipe dope from wellbores has been established. The chemical composition is of an aliphatic hydrocarbon and/or esters with a biodegradable water insoluble monoterpene preferably having a flash point (PMCC) greater than 140. degree. F. the mixture then used neat, or in a dispersion of seawater, being used to remove pipe dope from tubing, casing and the like.

Abstract:
A cleaning tool for tubular members has a pattern of scratching elements arranged on the outside of an elongate member such as a mandrel. The mandrel is coated with a rigid or resilient polymeric material or a combination of both. The scratching elements are affixed in the polymeric material in an arrangement to allow fluid flow around the mandrel.
