Swab
Oil and Gas
A swab is a tool which is lowered down a pipe on a wire line and then pulled out of the hole. As it travels up the pipe, rubber elements expand so that the fluid in the pipe is trapped above the swab and pushed to the surface. This is necessary when the formation pressure is not high enough to blow the fluids in the pipe to the surface.
