Workovers
 Sand Stuck Tubing

• Sand in annulus entered

Hole In thru a hole in the tubing
Tubing

Packer
 Mud Stuck Tubing

• Barite and solids settle out

in the annulus, causing the
pipe to become stuck

Packer
 Mechanical Sticking

Tubing

• Packer or anchor cannot

be released

Wrap Around
 Mechanical Sticking

• The pipe will not allow torque

to go down hole
• This condition normally
occurs when the pipe or
tubing has been dropped

Crooked Pipe
 Workover Fishing Services

– Free point and back-off
– Chemical cutters
• Washover assemblies
• Engaging tools
• Packer milling tools
• Junk milling assemblies
Back-off and Circulation Recovery
 Back-off and run Jarring Assembly

Backing-off close to a retrievable

packer, makes it possible to place
the jarring assembly close to the
packer.

• Makes clean cut

• No need to torque tubing
• Reliable

• Wide range of sizes

Caution:
These tools cannot be released downhole.
 The preferred method of engaging a fish
When ever possible, the string should be
screwed back together

Features and Benefits:

• Maximum allowable circulation
• Maximum torque may be applied
• Cannot accidentally release
• Maximum strength for jarring
 Bumper Jar

Features and Benefits:

• Provides free travel
– for jarring down
– to provide “soft touch”
when screwing into a fish
– assist in releasing overshot
both down hole and at
surface
• High tensile and torsional
yield
 Oil Jar

Features and Benefits:

• Delivers high upward impact
• Degree of impact is controlled from
surface
• Open ID for wireline operations
• High tensile and torsional yield
 Drill Collars

Drill collars provide the mass required to make the

impact of the jar effective.
•
The force from the upward movement of mass is
transmitted through the knocker in the oil jar
 Accelerator or Intensifier Jars

Features and Benefits:

• Improves efficiency of Oil Jars
• Lessens impact on work string and derrick
• Open ID for wireline operations
• High tensile and torsional yield
 Washover Applications

• Wash debris from top of

packer
• Washover tubing sanded
up in annulus
• Washover and outside cut
tubing sanded up in the ID
 Washover Shoes

Washover shoes are designed to

perform the following functions:
• Mill away junk from around a
fish
• Mill and wash away settled out
mud
• Mill and remove sand, scale or
other possible chemical debris

 Washpipe and Top Sub

• Washpipe’s primary function is to allow a

large section of fish to be swallowed.
• The farther away the back-off or cut, the more
washpipe is needed to reach bottom
• The top sub acts as an X-over to the jarring
BHA.

 Junk Mill

If a packer can be milled,

pushed to bottom and left
in hole, this provides the
most fail safe method to
remove packer from area
of well.
 Fishing Wireline in Cased Hole

• Always run a stop sub

• Never attempt to push
wire down
• Do not rotate excessively
• Jars should be run several
stands above spear
• Do not pass wire by more
then 50’ to 100’
