Abstract
A method of cleaning a tubular with a cleaning tool that includes the steps of disposing the cleaning tool in the tubular, the cleaning tool having a main body with a first end, a second end, an inlet, an outlet, and a propulsion relief assembly disposed proximate to the second end. The method further includes the steps of sufficiently pressurizing fluid behind the tubular to propel the cleaning tool along the tubular, and increasing the pressure of the fluid to actuate the propulsion relief assembly, whereby fluid is jetted out the outlet and out of the propulsion relief assembly.
