casing roller

1. n. [Well Workover and Intervention]

A heavy-duty downhole tool used to restore the internal diameter of collapsed or buckled casing. Casing rollers generally are configured with an incremental series of rollers that act to gradually form the damaged casing to the desired size. Depending on the degree of damage and the requirement for wellbore access below the site of damage, the nominal diameter of the casing roller and repaired wellbore may be significantly less than the nominal drift diameter of the original casing string.
