Abstract:
An apparatus for maneuvering a tool string within a borehole of a subterranean well includes a magnetic tractor casing with a central bore. A tractor body is located within the central bore of the magnetic tractor casing. A plurality of magnets are spaced along an outer surface of the tractor body, the plurality of magnets operable to generate a second magnetic field to interact with a first magnetic field of the magnetic tractor casing, to maintain an annular space between the tractor body and the magnetic tractor casing. A plurality of angled opening assemblies are spaced along the tractor body, each of the angled opening assemblies shaped to direct fluid away from the tractor body, to maintain an annular space between the magnetic tractor casing and the borehole of the subterranean well.
