Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus and method for collecting downhole debris wherein the apparatus comprises a tubular member extending between first and second ends connectable to a production string connectable in fluidic communication with the production string and having an open flow path therethrough between the first and second ends, at least one coiled member extending between first and second ends, said second end being operably connected to the tubular member and a top cap secured to the first end of the coiled member and adapted to sealably close a top end of the coiled member. The method comprises extending the coiled member in response to an upward flow through the tubular member so as to permit upward flow of fluids and solid particles and compressing the coiled member in response to a downward flow so as to permit fluid flow between coils of the coiled member while retaining solid particles thereover.
