Abstract

A method and apparatus for single-trip casing cutting and pulling for well abandonment and slot recovery. Perforations () are made in the casing () at a maximum depth using a punch tool () and fluid circulated through the perforations to determine a return at surface. In the event of a return at surface being detected, the casing () is cut and pulled. When no return is detected, perforations are made at increasingly shallower depths until a return is detected and the casing () is then cut and pulled. This ensures the maximum length of casing () is cut and pulled on a single trip in the well bore ().
