Fishing Jar

Accessory Tools

Fishing Jar
The Gotco Hydraulic Fishing Jar is an easy-to-use accessory tool that assists in various operations such as fishing, testing, coring, reaming, and washover. Designed to be installed in the string above the fishing tool assembly, it allows the operator to deliver an upward blow to the equipment installed in the string below the jar. This is particularly helpful when the string is stuck or restricted and cannot be lifted only by pulling.
Construction
Fishing jars are constructed from high-strength, impact-resistant alloy. Specially heat treated to provide the ultimate in toughness and durability, this field proven tool is simple and easy to operate.

Assembly and Operation

For fishing operations the jar should be installed below a string of drill collars. (For other applications, see technical manual.) Lower the string and engage the fish. Once engaged, simply pull upward, stretching the drill string.

The jar will begin to open slowly as the piston meters the hydraulic fluid in the jar. Once the jar has opened approximately half of its full stroke, the piston will release and the jar will suddenly open fully, releasing the energy stored in the stretched drill string, delivering the desired impact. The amount of impact is determined by the amount of stretch applied to the string. This provides the operator with complete control over the impact applied. No adjustments to the tool are required. Once the jar has been tripped it can be quickly reset by lowering the string and allowing the jar to close. Heavy-duty splines allow for full torque transmission at any time. For maximum effectiveness, also use a jar impact amplifier.

Construction
The fishing bumper sub is constructed from specially heat treated high-strength alloy steel to withstand severe stress resulting from tension, jarring, and torque. A double-seal piston assures full circulation through the tool during fishing operations.

Assembly and Operation

The fishing bumper sub is installed in the fishing string immediately above the fishing tool or safety joint. To apply a sharp downward blow, mark the pipe at surface to indicate open and closed positions of bumper sub. Raise fishing string to open bumper sub and allow for some additional pipe stretch. Drop string sharply and stop with the brake approximately 4 to 6 inches above the closed position of bumper sub. As the fishing string springs downward, the bumper sub will deliver a sharp downward blow. To apply a solid downward blow, raise fishing string to open bumper sub plus exert a slight stretch in string. Drop full weight of pipe without braking to deliver a strong downward blow. To apply an upward blow, mark pipe at surface to indicate open and closed positions of bumper sub. Raise fishing string to open bumper sub plus exert moderate strength in string. Drop string by the amount of pipe stretch only and catch it with the brake. As pipe recoils at the bottom of the hole, the bumper sub will deliver a sharp upward blow.

How to Order Gotco Bumper Sub

When ordering, please specify: Name and part number of assembly. Connection, if nonstandard. Stroke length, if nonstandard.

Standard Components
The fishing bumper sub is composed of five major parts: the mandrel, kelly sub, piston, barrel, and top sub. The mandrel includes a hex kelly that is engaged by the kelly sub to transmit torque. The barrel has a preci-

sion honed I.D. to assure a positive seal with the piston.

Optional Components and Accessories

Stroke lengths up to 60 inches are available upon customers request.

Jar Impact Amplifier

Accessory Tools

Jar Impact Amplifier

The Gotco Jar Impact Amplifier is a vital accessory tool designed to be run with the Gotco Hydraulic Fishing Jar. It will accelerate the upward motion of the drill collars and the fishing jar allowing the operator to apply significantly greater impact to the fish. This is particularly helpful in deviated holes where friction may reduce the impact of the jar or in shallow holes where there is insufficient string length to provide adequate stretch to the running string. Acting also as a shock absorber to the rebounding string, the jar impact amplifier will protect tools and string from damage.

Construction
Manufactured from high strength alloy and heat treated for maximum toughness, the jar impact amplifier is both rugged and reliable. Heavy splines allow the application of full torque and a generous through bore offers unrestricted circulation at all times.

Operation
The jar impact amplifier should be located in the string immediately above the drill collars. No presetting is required. When a stretch is applied to the string, the jar impact amplifier fluids are compressed, storing additional energy. When the jar trips, this energy is released. The tool will automatically reset, each time the jar trips, and will continue to operate as many times as necessary to free the fish.

Accessory Tools Lubricated Bumper Sub

Lubricated Bumper Sub

The Gotco Lubricated Fishing Bumper Sub is designed to withstand repetitive and sustained loads in severe fishing, drilling and well workover operations. The tool can be stroked upward or downward. The average stroke is between 10 and 18. Longer strokes can be furnished upon request.
Construction
Mandrel

Seal Kit Fill Plug

The Gotco Lubricated Bumper Sub is manufactured from high-grade alloy steel. The tool is engineered to reduce high degrees of stress concentration in critical areas of the tool. This promotes longer service life and a better quality tool.

Assembly and Operation

Mandrel Body

The Gotco Lubricated Bumper Sub is normally

installed in the fishing string just above the fishing tool, safety joint or unlatching joint. Heavy-duty splines allows for transmitting full torque at all times during operation. Striking surfaces are provided at the limits of the free stroke movement to produce the impact necessary for achieving the greatest intensity of bumping action in either direction. The primary function of the Lubricated Bumper Sub is to enable the operator to release the fishing tool in the event that it becomes impossible to pull the fish. It will provide the necessary impact and deliver the torque required to release the tool from the fish. The Lubricated Bumper Sub can also be used to release the recovered fish at the top of

the hole, or be used to Jar Up or Bump Down in the hole.

Standard Components
The Lubricated Bumper Sub is composed of six major parts: the Mandrel, Knocker, Washpipe, Middle Body, Mandrel Body and Washpipe Body. The critical seal points of the Mandrel and Washpipe are equipped with a seal-ring assembly consisting of an Oring, Non-Extrusion Ring and Seal Protector Ring. This Seal Ring set keeps the diametrical clearance at the seal points to an absolute minimum as hydraulic pressure is applied from either direction in the tool. This greatly increases the life of the O-Ring and seal set by prohibiting O-Ring extrusion.

Drilling Safety Joints

Accessory Tools

Drilling Safety Joint

The Gotco Safety Joint is manufactured to provide safe and easy release and make-up whenever disengagement becomes necessary. This dependable, field-tough tool is designed to transmit torque in either direction when placed in the drill, fishing, or washover string.
Components
The safety joint consists of a pin section, a box section, and a friction ring. The internal connection of the safety joint is a coarse acme thread used to facilitate easy pack-off and re-engagement. A knurled release ring between the box and pin sections maintain torsion integrity until back-off procedure is initiated. An O-ring seal contains pressure while the safety joint is made up.

Assembly and Operation

To assemble, install the safety joint in the drill string as indicated below. Make up the service connection to a torque of approximately 60 to 75% of the drill string connections. In drill strings, the safety joint should be located above the drill collars to avoid compression. In fishing strings, the safety joint should be located directly above the fishing tool but below

the jar or bumper sub. In washover strings, the safety joint should be located between the drill pipe and the washover pipe. Gotco Washover Safety Joints are provided with a tool joint box thread and a washover pipe pin thread. To disengage the safety joint while down-hole, place pipe in tension and apply left-hand torque. Hold torque while slowly lowering pipe until safety joint breaks. Continue to unscrew safety joint to the left. To re-engage the safety joint, lower pipe until pin section of safety joint lands on box section. Apply one point of weight. Rotate to the left one or two turns. Then rotate to the right until torque builds up, indicating safety joint is made up.
