Nozzles and jetting subs for use on coiled tubing form the
downhole end of the CT bottomhole assembly. These
nozzles and subs are generally of simple design and
construction and are often locally manufactured. The
required jetting action generally determines the position
and size of the nozzle ports. In general, these tools will fall
into two categories.
The position, shape and direction of the jet ports affect the
jetting action of the nozzle, and in most cases, are Muleshoe Angled
determined by the intended application. Jet Nozzle

6 ACCELERATORS
Placed in the tool string above the jar assembly, the primary
function of the accelerator is to store the energy to be
released when the jar fires. Accelerator action also helps
Figure 4. Release joints protect both the tools located above the accelerator, and
the CT work string from the shock load caused by the jar
impact.

All three jar types operate on the upstroke; however, only jars Catch spring
operating on the mechanical and fluid-powered principles are
capable of downstroke or dual operation. The ability to jar
down is an important feature which may be required on many
fishing and STIFFLINE* operations. The release of many
overshots, spears and pulling tools often requires a downward
blow at the tool.

9 SPEARS
Top connection/fishing neck
Spears of various designs are commonly used on fishing
operations. Spears are designed to engage the fish by
gripping on the ID surface. Although the preferred method
of engaging a fish is by overshot, the spear provides a
useful alternative when retrieving a fish with a suitable bore.
