Section A

Principle of Mechanical Jar

How Jars Work

A jar contains a hammer and anvil to deliver an impact
(like a slide hammer), and a trigger mechanism. Under
the influence of an applied load (drillstring tension or
drillstring weight), when the jar trigger trips, the hammer
travels the length of the jars up or down free stroke as
appropriate and strikes the anvil. The resultant impact is
several times greater than the applied load. To jar again
the jar is recocked and the procedure repeated until the
drillstring comes free.
The description mechanical or hydraulic refers to the
trigger mechanism. Apart from the trigger, mechanical
and hydraulic jars are very similar.

1. Mechanical Jars
The jar trigger is mechanical, and the load to trip the
trigger up or down is preset. The jar will only trip when
the applied load exceeds the setting and will then fire
immediately. The jar is normally used latched at midstroke ready to jar up or down but can be used fully open
or fully closed. If any load on the jar would tend to open
it, the jar is in tension. If the load tends to close it it is
in compression.

2. Hydraulic Jars

Principle of Hydraulic Jar

An hydraulic jar has the same up and down free stroke as

a mechanical jar, and the same anvil and hammer, but
between the up and down stroke is a metering (delay)
stroke. A typical jar has a total stroke of about 18, split
evenly three ways.
When a load is applied to the jar it moves a piston in a
cylinder. This forces (meters) oil slowly from one side of
the piston to the other. At the end of the metering stroke
(when T reaches L, see diagram) oil can bypass the
metering valve, and the piston releases the hammer
which strikes the anvil generating the impact. It works
exactly like a pneumatic door-closer: the door closes
slowly at first (meters), then slams under the applied
load of a spring.
The jar will trip at any load big enough to start the
metering process (for example the weight of a drill collar
above it in the derrick) but the metering delay allows
time to set any load up to the jar maximum. The higher
the setting, the harder the hit and the faster the metering
process. Typically the delay time will be 10 to 40 seconds.
At very low loads the delay time can be up to 5 minutes.

Most hydraulic jars have nothing to keep them at midstroke. If the jar is in tension (fully opened) it has to be
cocked (displaced through the free stroke then through
the length of the metering stroke) before a load can be
applied to jar up. If it is in compression the same applies.

HYDR0-MECHANICAL DRILLING JAR

Section B
SLEDGEHAMMER
Hydro-Mechanical Jars

NOTE: When the jar has been fired and before it is

recocked, the jars free stroke can be used to establish an accurate measurement of frictional drag acting
on the free portion of the drillstring.

1. Jar General Description

The SLEDGEHAMMERTM is an hydraulic up-mechanical down jar. The hydraulic up and mechanical down
actions work as described above. The SLEDGEHAMMERTM Jar has an important extra feature. It has an
additional mechanical latch in the up direction to maintain the jar at mid-stroke. This keeps the jar ready for
immediate up or down jarring, and eliminates the risk of
accidental jarring during all normal drilling operations.

2. Operation Quick Guide

TO JAR UP Pick up enough string tension (overpull)
to unlatch and start the hydraulic delay, adjust overpull
to the desired level, and wait for the jar to fire. This will
take some 10 to 40 seconds depending on the tension set.
To jar again, first recock by slacking off until the jar
begins to take any weight (more than 5000 lbs. (2250
daN) but less than the downlatch value), then repeat.
TO JAR DOWN Set down enough string weight on
the jar to unlatch. It will fire immediately. To jar again,
recock by picking up until the jar begins to take an overpull (greater than 5000 lbs. (2250 daN) but less than the
uplatch setting), then repeat.

10

Section C
Specifying Jar Settings
SLEDGEHAMMERTM jars may be shipped with a latch
ratio of 2:1, (the uplatch setting is twice the downlatch
setting) or with a 3:1 ratio. The standard latch settings
can also be raised or lowered when the jar is built. The
specification sheet in Section G shows the nominal shop
settings which are suitable for the majority of applications.
Whether or not different latch settings must be specified
will depend on the placement decisions covered in the
next section.
NOTE: The manual sections are organized to satisfy
first the information needed by the driller who is making up the jar in a specified bottom hole assembly
and not in the order in which the complete decision
and use process is carried out.

11

HYDR0-MECHANICAL DRILLING JAR

This is given below:
A) Design the BHA to drill the section.
B) Meet as many of the placement conditions below as
possible.
(Section D, 2)
C) Calculate the pick-up and set-down weight to jar up
or down if stuck.
(Section D, 1)
D) Calculate whether or not the jar might unlatch
accidentally.
(Section D, 3)
E) Specify different latch values or alter the BHA
if necessary.

Section D
Operation Procedures
1. Start Up
The jar is delivered to the rig site latched and ready for
use. No collar clamps are supplied or required (see
below). No adjustments are necessary or possible. All
body connections are accurately pretorqued in the shop
and should not be altered or checked.

12

The uplatch and downlatch values are marked both on

the jar and on the delivery ticket. The jar is run with the
chromed spline mandrel upwards (see drawing Section
H). No rig or chain tongs should be used on this highly
finished surface. A worksheet is supplied with each jar
(see Section E) which features a simple method of calculating pick-up and set-down weights to jar. Transfer
the information recorded on the delivery ticket to the
worksheet.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
NOTE: The jar will not unlatch in the derrick unless:
1) a weight greater than the up-latch value is hung on
the jar, or 2) a weight greater than the downlatch
value is made up above the jar.
PREPARATION

Record the uplatch and downlatch values on the worksheet. The values may differ from jar to jar depending
on shop test results and customer specification. The
uplatch value is always greater. Estimate drag and calculate Pump Open Force (see next page). Record the
buoyant string weight below the jar to work out string
weight above the jar by subtraction. Check that the
buoyant weight below the jar is not more than the
uplatch value. The jar will unlatch when tripping in if it
is.

13

HYDR0-MECHANICAL DRILLING JAR

Hole drag below the jar acts to close it (fire it down) running in hole, and to open it (fire it up) pulling out. An
allowance for drag below the jar is therefore added to or
subtracted from the unlatch values depending on the calculation. Record hole drag when running in, pulling out
or on connections so that the figures are available for the
worksheet calculation.
Once the jar has been fired, use the free stroke to establish an accurate estimate of drag on the free portion of
the drillstring, that is the drag above the jar.
Pump open force (POF) is the force generated by the
pumps that acts to open the jar. High pump rate (high
POF) will make unlatching to jar up easier and the
impact higher. Low or no pump rate will make unlatching to jar down easier and the impact higher.
First, calculate the total pressure drop below the jars at a
circulation rate and a drilling rate (e.g., string losses);
plus MWD pressure drop plus motor pressure drop plus
bit pressure drop.
Second, read off the equivalent POFs for the jar from
the graph (worksheet or Section G) and record them on
the worksheet.

14

2. Using The Jar When Stuck

TO JAR UP Hole drag up will resist unlatching.
Pump open force will HELP unlatching.
Weight indicator setting to unlatch equals: string weight
above jar plus latch setting plus drag minus pump open
force.
NOTE: the jar will unlatch at a lower overpull if the
pumps are ON.

For the maximum allowable weight indicator reading to

jar up, substitute maximum tensile load during
hydraulic delay (from specification sheet Section F) for
Latch setting in the above equation or follow the
method in the worksheet Section E.
To relatch: slack off until the jar takes weight PLUS
5,000 lbs. (2250 daN), but less than the downlatch setting.
TO JAR DOWN Hole drag down will still resist
unlatching. Pump open force will now RESIST unlatching.

15

HYDR0-MECHANICAL DRILLING JAR

Weight indicator setting to unlatch jar equals: String
weight above jar minus latch setting minus drag minus
pump open force.

3. Ideal Jar Placement

MAXIMIZING JARRING EFFICIENCY

1) The jar may be run in tension or compression.

NOTE: The jar will unlatch at less set-down if the
pumps are OFF. This is useful if drag is high: the
pumps can be backed off to make unlatching easier
(and increase impact), then restored to normal.

The maximum allowable weight indicator reading to jar

down is the string weight. To relatch: pick up until the
jar takes string weight PLUS more than 5,000 lbs. (2250
daN), but less than the uplatch setting. In both cases,
after the first hit, the free stroke of the jar should be used
to record an accurate measure of hole drag in the (free)
string above the jar.
The first hit has to be made on an estimate based on the
recording of drag in the whole string. It is therefore NOT
ADVISABLE to attempt to pull the maximum on a first
hit up in case drag has been overestimated.
Avoid jarring up or down before string torque is released.
The combination of trapped torque and impact risks
backing off a connection.

16

2) Place the jar at least 30 feet (10m) above stabilizers

or roller reamers or other components larger in
diameter than the jar itself.
3) Place the jar close to and above the likeliest sticking
point on the BHA.
4) Make up a MINIMUM of three collars, or the
equivalent in joints of heavyweight drillpipe directly
above the jar. Ideally, if collars are below the jar,
collars should be above the jar.
PLACEMENT CALCULATIONS

In a frictionless hole, the jar might fire up accidentally

running in hole because of BHA weight below it, or fire
down going on to bottom to drill because it is put into
enough compression to unlatch it. In a real hole, drag
and POF (above) must be considered. The drag below
the jar is what is required for tripping calculations, but it
will have to be estimated based on the total string drag.

17

HYDR0-MECHANICAL DRILLING JAR

4. Checking For Accidental Unlatching

CASE 1 The jar unlatches running into hole under
BHA weight. It meters off (trips), and drops the BHA
through the free stroke. The BHA may be hanging from
slips or elevators when this happens.
The jar will not unlatch if the uplatch value is higher
than BHA weight (below jar) minus drag plus POF.
(Hole drag up resists unlatching up, POF helps
unlatching up.)
For example: 6 1/2 jar with standard 2:1 uplatch setting
80,000 lbs. , BUOYANT BHA weight of 41,000 lbs.,
drag 5000 lbs., POF 20,000 lbs.
Latch Setting: = 80,000 lbs.
Unlatching Force: 41,000 - 5000 + 20,000 = 56,000 lbs.
56,000 lbs. is the net tension force on the latch. A negative number would mean that the jar was in compression.
This gives a safety margin of 24,000 lbs. (80,000 56,000) with pumps on, 44,000 lbs. with no pumps.
CASE 2 The jar unlatches going into compression as
WOB is applied. It trips, and fires the BHA against
bottom.
The jar will not unlatch if the downlatch setting is no
greater than WOB plus drag minus BHA weight (below
jar) and POF. (Hole drag down helps unlatching down,
POF resists unlatching down.)

18

For example: 6 1/2 jar with standard downlatch setting

40,000 lbs., buoyant BHA weight of 41,000 lbs., drag
5000 lbs., POF 20,000 lbs., and 30,000 lbs. WOB.
Unlatching force:
30,000 + 5000 - 41,000 - 20,000 = - 26,000 lbs.
The result is negative, so the jar is still in tension by
26,000 lbs. This gives a safety margin of 66,000 lbs.
with the pumps on (26,000 lbs. to overcome tension plus
40,000 lbs. to overcome the latch). With the pumps off
the safety margin is 46,000 lbs.
SAFETY MARGINS

In Case 1, the jar will not fire due to BHA weight

running in hole. It could fire tripping out of hole if drag,
now acting to open the jar, were to increase to more than
19,000 lbs. (41,000 + 19,000 + 20,000 = 80,000 lbs.). In
that case, a 3:1 latch ratio can be specified, restoring the
safety margin again.
In Case 2, the jar will not fire going on bottom. Since
the safety margin is already high, WOB could be raised
or the BHA could be shortened if either of these were
necessary or desirable. Note that much of the WOB is
being compensated for by pump open force.
Remember that when tripping, drag below is used; when
firing, drag above is used.

19

HYDR0-MECHANICAL DRILLING JAR

5. Close Down
After use, in accordance with good oilfield practice,
clean all drilling mud from the jar body, particularly
around the chrome mandrel. Check the jar visually for
damage, missing oil-plugs, etc.
Occasionally a jar may come out of the hole unlatched.
Should that happen, proceed with the following:
If the measured dimension is greater than dimension
A, the jar is unlatched open. When fully open
A = 16.25 inches for 6.50 inch HMD2 jars and for all
others A = 17 inches.
If the jar is open, either:
1) The jar was fired up immediately before tripping
out; or 2) Drag and POF opened the jar. In this case,
consider the need to change positioning of the jar to prevent this from happening. See Section D3 - Ideal Jar
Placement.
There may not be enough drill collar weight in the derrick to relatch it. If there is not, when racked back, the
jar will close by approximately 6-10 inches from fully
open under its own weight and any weight above it.

20

It will then be sitting on its latches, and will close no

further. In this case, care must be taken when picking
the jar up to allow it to bleed through the 4 inch metering stroke before the 6 inch free stroke. It will bleed
slowly through the metering stroke, then fall through the
free stroke to fully open. Allow this to happen before
attempting to stab in.
Once set in the slips it will close again, but will not fire.
Pick up slowly to allow it to bleed through again before
picking out of the slips and running in. It can be
relatched on bottom.
If the measured dimension is smaller than dimension
A, the jar is unlatched closed. In this case the jar
should be changed out. No normal combination of
circumstances can cause this.
Maintaining and improving product quality and performance depends on good communication between field
and shop. Please make time to complete and return to
Sperry-Sun the jar performance report (Section I of
this manual).
