Drilling Jar Placement Program
Drilling Jar Placement Program
The effectiveness of jarring depends not only on the jar design, but also on:
• Placement of the jar in the drillstring
• Drillstring design
• Hole conditions
The difference in jar performance between proper and improper placement
can be a factor of as much as 3 to 4. Because the analysis of the mechanics
of jarring is complex, a computer program is needed to precisely determine
optimum jar placement.
The Importance
of the Stress Wave Theory
The energy for jarring comes from the spring effect of the drillstring when it is
either stretched or compressed. When the jar trips, the sudden release of energy
does not instantaneously go to the stuck point. Rather, the energy is transmitted
by stress waves which travel at the speed of sound in metal. This energy trans-
mission is further complicated by the following:
• Stress waves are partially transmitted and partially reflected at any change
in drillstring crosssection
• Friction between the drillstring and hole acts to dissipate the stress
wave’s energy
• Sometimes moving the jar only a joint up or down in the drillstring can
drastically change how the stress waves add together to create jarring
force on the stuck point.
The Impact Impulse Factor
To be effective, the jarring force (impact load) must exceed the sticking force.
How far the stuck object moves depends on the duration of the impact load. The
combined effect of impact load and duration is called impulse. Optimum jar
placement occurs with the largest impulse for an impact load greater than the
sticking force.
Features and Advantages of the
Drilling Jar Placement Program
• Stress wave analysis techniques which track all stress waves.
• Unlimited number of section changes are allowed, enabling the
modeling of virtually any drillstring and bottom hole assembly.
• Effects of hole angle, hole curvature, and frictional drag are included
• Suitable for analysis of straight, directional, and horizontal holes.
• Uniquely designed to model all National Oilwell drilling jars.
• Separate programs for drilling and fishing to allow appropriate data
input and output results in field useable terms.
• Rapid solutions on personal computers for office or in the field use.
• Offered as a service for National Oilwell customers — years of proven success
in all types of field applications.

Hydraulic/Mechanical Drillling Jars

Hydraulic/Mechanical Drilling Jars
This jar combines the latch with hydraulic delay in both directions. All features
of the Hydraulic/Mechanical Drilling Jar are available with this tool, and
operation of the tool is similar, but the hydraulic jar down requires a slight
change of procedure.
To jar downward, apply a compression load to the jar in excess of the down-
latch setting. This will release the mechanical latch and initiate the hydraulic
delay sequence. Following the delay period, the jar will release, causing a
downward jarring impact. Raising the drill string will re-engage the mechanical
latch ready for further jarring, or to resume normal drilling as required.
Features
• Will not fire unexpectedly while drilling, tripping, making connections,
or tagging bottom.
• No safety clamp or special handling procedures required on the rig floor.
• Less restricted jar placement in the BHA. The jar can be placed in tension,
neutral or compression.
• Ideal for use in compression as there is no need to wait for “bleed through”
when tagging or picking up off bottom.
• Ideal for use in directional or extended reach horizontal wells, the jar can
be run in the lower BHA in compression or in the upper BHA in tension.
• No special tripping or drilling procedures required.
• Linear latch not affected by torque. Ideal for use in high friction, directional
and extended reach horizontal wells.
• Simple up and down motion to operate.
• Adjustable latch release settings.
• Mechanical latch prevents wear of the tool during drilling operations.
• Hydraulic delay up and down jarring allows the operator to vary jarring
force downhole.
• Allows drawworks brake to be applied to protect hoisting equipment.
• Special metering devices maintain relatively constant delay timing even
after prolonged jarring.
• Fully sealed and oil bath lubricated for longer service life and less wear.
• Available dressed for 300˚F or 400˚F bottom hole temperatures.

Hydraulic/Mechanical Drilling Jars
This drilling jar is well suited for virtually all drilling operations. The jar was
developed to overcome the usual shortcomings associated with purely hydraulic
or mechanical jars, yet retain the advantages of both concepts. This jar
combines our mechanical “safety” latch with a hydraulic delay sequence on the
up jarring stroke. The down jarring stroke is achieved mechanically. To jar
upward, overpull is applied to the drill string until the preset mechanical latch
setting is overcome and the jar enters the hydraulic delay sequence. The desired
overpull above free string weight is then taken as the jar continues to slowly
open under hydraulic restriction (delay) with the drawworks brake applied. After
the hydraulic delay, the jar enters the free stroke and the mandrel accelerates to
the fully extended position creating a jarring impact. Simply lowering the drill
string resets the latch. The jar is then ready for another jarring cycle or to
resume normal drilling operations.
To jar down, the drill string is lowered until the compressive force applied to
the jar exceeds the preset mechanical latch setting. The latch releases allowing
the mandrel to accelerate to the fully closed position creating a downward
jarring impact. Raising the drill string until free movement stops indicates the
latch has reset. The jar is ready for another jarring cycle or to resume normal
drilling operations.

or tagging bottom.

 Griffith • Vector
Mechanical Drillling Jars

Griffith • Vector Drilling Jars

All Griffith • Vector Drilling Jars (with the exception of slimhole 31/2”
O.D. and smaller) feature our mechanical “safety” latch mechanism. The
mechanical latch firmly holds the mandrel in the neutral position in relation
to the jar body, preventing any unexpected jarring while making connections,
tripping in or out of hole, or when tagging bottom. The latch is preset to release
when either a tensile or compressive force is applied to the jar which exceeds the
forces seen during normal drilling operations. The latch release settings can be
adjusted at the service facility to expand the range of jar placement possibilities
within the drill string. The latch mechanism allows the jar to run in the drilling
string in tension or compression or at the neutral point within the range of the
preset release settings. National Oilwell manufactures three types of Griffith •
Vector drilling jars, the Hydraulic Mechanical, the Double-Acting Hydraulic
Mechanical and the Mechanical, all of which include the mechanical “safety”
latch mechanism.
Griffith • Vector Mechanical Jar
The jar offers mechanical jarring in both directions. Latch release settings are
variable. The jar is popular in higher temperature operations and in remote
areas where fully equipped service and repair facilities may be unavailable.

Packing Set pounding forces with least variation in bit load.
The Bowen Cushion Sub adjusts automatically to any desired bit weight within its working range.
Packing Retainer
• The low spring rate allows energy absorption at a nearly constant rate without high load
buildup on the bit. Nearly all the energy is absorbed by the Cushion Sub and very little is
transferred into the drill string.
Fill Plug • Its short length gives it stiff column characteristics to withstand large bit loads. Its long stroke
offers excellent operation at both high and low bit loads.
Spline Body
• The automatic dampening characteristic of the fluid prevents vibration resonance at any
rotation speed.
Middle Body • Simple design increases tool life and reliability.

Mandrel Retainer
• Broached precision splines provide for balanced torsional loading and mandrel stability
• Low wear, stabilized mandrel housing, eliminates any lateral bit movement. It automatically
compensates for pressure and temperature changes.

 Griffith • Vector Shock Tools

Griffith • Vector Shock Tools
The Griffith • Vector Shock Tool is designed to isolate the drill string from
axial deflections produced by the bit during drilling operations. This reduces
impact on the bit and drill string and increases penetration rates by keeping the
bit on bottom during rough drilling conditions.
Features
• Will not build angle, as it is well stabilized between barrel and mandrel.
• Reduces bit bounce and extends bit life by reducing impact loads on teeth
and bearings.
• Reduces shock and vibration induced drill string failures.
• Reduces damage to surface equipment.
• Unaffected by hydrostatic pressure.
Constant load/deflection characteristics are maintained regardless of hole depth,
bit weight, pump pressure, mud weight or torque. Free vertical movement is
assured by guiding the mandrel in the barrel above and below the spline drive to
prevent lateral loads from acting on the drive assembly. Griffith • Vector Shock
Tools are sprung in both directions to compensate for pump open forces.
The Griffith • Vector Shock Tool contains a chamber and piston to compen-
sate for lubricant expansion at higher operating temperatures.
Larger diameter (11" to 14") tools are designed with a pressure compensa-
tion system to reduce the excessive pump open effect inherent in larger diameter
tools. This design permits a relatively low spring rate, desirable when drilling
large diameter holes, without fully extending the tool at high pump pressure.
14" shock tools are available with an optional reamer sub for 171⁄2" hole size.
Griffith • Vector Shock Tools are available with a standard seal kit rated to
200˚F or an optional higher temperature seal kit rated at 350˚F.
“Hot Hole” Applications
Griffith • Vector also manufactures shock tools designed for “hot hole” applica-
tions with seals rated above 350˚F. The design and features of the “hot hole”
tools are similar to the standard tools with the exception of the sealing system
required for the high temperature application.
Coiled Tubing Shock Tools
Griffith • Vector manufactures small diameter shock tools specifically for coiled
tubing applications. Like the larger diameter tools, they are used to dampen
vibrations induced during coiled tubing drilling and increase ROP.

 Griffith Ram Type Blowout Preventer
and Annular Blowout Preventer

Griffith Ram Type Blowout Preventer

The Griffith Ram Type Blowout Preventer is a compact, lightweight unit,
providing relaible operations with easy maintenance. It features a simple
hydraulic actuating system with no external hydraulic lines exposed to damage.
The preventer is ideal for well servicing and workover operations.
The preventer is designed and tested to meet or exceed all applicable API and
NACE standards and specifications. Hinged doors allow rams and rubbers to be
easily removed and replaced without disturbing the actuating system. Special
tools or equipment for field servicing are not required. Rams can be changed
without disconnecting the hydraulic system. Hydraulic actuating hoses can be
conveniently connected to either end of the preventer to suit any installation.
Available with an optional 2" test port on lower ram cavity. A mechanical
locking system will lock rams in the closed position against the full rated
working pressure, even if hydraulic operating pressure is lost.

The Griffith Annular Blowout Preventer is a simple but effective means of
controlling well pressures in the annulus or open hole. It employs principles and
methods proven reliable over many years of field service. The preventer requires
hydraulic pressure to both open and close, however, well bore pressure assists in
keeping a closed preventer closed. It is recommended that the closing unit have
a separate pressure regulation valve dedicated to the annular BOP. It will also
seal off around almost any size or shape of component that would be run
through the closed packing unit by using a pressure control valve or accumula-
tor in the preventer control system.
The preventer is designed and tested to meet or exceed all applicable API and
NACE standards and specifications. Inspection and maintenance may be carried
out in the field since special tools or equipment are not required. Packing unit
life may be easily checked without disassembly by measuring piston travel
through a port provided in the preventer top. Packing unit replacement is done
by simply removing the preventer head and replacing the element. During
packing element replacement, the junk ring remains in position preventing
contamination of the hydraulic operating chambers. Griffith Annular Blowout Preventer
