Abstract:
Systems and methods for collecting debris in a subterranean well include a wellbore cleanout tool having a tool housing with a tool bore. The wellbore cleanout tool further includes a power source, a wire in electrical communication with the power source, and a core member located within the tool bore. The wire is wound around the core member with a first end and a second end of the wire in electrical connection with a positive terminal and a negative terminal of the power source, respectively. A plurality of magnetic bars are spaced around the core member. A sleeve member is moveable between an uphole position where the sleeve member circumscribes the plurality of magnetic bars, and a downhole position where the sleeve member is located downhole of a portion of the plurality of magnetic bars and can be a collection basket. The wellbore cleanout tool further has a permanent magnet.
