Abstract
A debris separation and storage ('SAS') apparatus for removing debris from a wellbore, the SAS apparatus including a chamber that includes a housing and an inlet tube located within the housing. The inlet tube includes a plurality of exit apertures positioned along the length of the inlet tube and configured to allow flow of a debris slurry, within the wellbore, from the inlet tube into an SAS area outside of the inlet tube. The chamber also includes a plurality of filter tubes located within the SAS area and oriented parallel to and radially outward from the inlet tube. The filter tubes are configured to block debris larger than a predetermined size of debris from flowing into the filter tubes while allowing the remaining fluid from the debris slurry to pass through the plurality of filter tubes and then out of the chamber, thereby producing a processed debris slurry.
