A tool and method to remove sand and other types of solid particulate materials and fluids from wellbores and conduits, resulting from well-drilling, well-production or both, and consequently to reactivate well production. The modular tool, composed of different subsystems, is connected to the end of concentric coil tubing, operates promoting the aggregates disintegration by using a spiral jet to impact these solids and suctioning the small particles and well fluids, simultaneously or later, by using jet pumps based on a set of several venturis. Changes between different operation modes are imposed by modifying surface pump pressure levels and the tool does not need to be removed from the wellbore between different stages, reducing the overall operation time.
A device for use with concentric coiled tubing, the concentric coiled tubing comprising inner and outer tubes with an annular conduit formed therebetween, the device being configured to remove solids from inside an external conduit using a pressurized power fluid, the concentric coiled tubing being connected to coiled tubing equipment positioned outside of the external conduit, the device comprising:
