Introduction to Fishing
Note: The information and procedures listed in this manual apply to Bowen Tools, Inc.
equipment only. Inform the customer that Halliburton uses Bowen technology and
recommended published procedures to retrieve stuck tools.
Fishing Terms
Keyseated - the wireline is stuck to the borehole wall.
Bird caged - logging cable that has its outer armor spread out in the shape of a bird cage. This
may be caused by the sudden relaxation of a cable under tension. It may also occur when a cable
with a loose outer armor is run through a tight pack-off.
Tool spudding - moving the tool up and down at high speeds to go through an obstruction, for
example a bridge or solidified drilling mud. Spudding may result in tool damage and cable
damage. The cable is designed to be worked in tension, not compression, which may be
especially harmful for splices.
Normal tension - surface tension on the cable at a given depth in the well, logging up the
borehole with calipers open before any tool sticking or cable keyseating occurs.
Note: The tool may become stuck before normal tension can be determined.
Prevention of Sticking
The following guidelines can help prevent a tool from lodging in the hole. To comply with
regulatory requirements and HES policy, this is especially important.
1. To minimize the possibility of radioactive sources becoming lodged in a well without
surface casing used to protect fresh water (potable) aquifers (3,000 parts per million [ppm]
total dissolved solids or less), the Well Logging Supervisor shall perform one or more of the
following procedures prior to logging with tools containing radioactive material:
a. Consult with the driller, toolpusher, or company man to obtain specific knowledge of the
borehole conditions and any special requirements to prevent radioactive sources from
becoming lodged in the well.
b. Run a caliper log to determine hole size and any problem areas.
c. Run a tool containing no radioactive source, such as an induction tool, to show that it can
pass freely. When running combination tools, consider running the tools in separate runs
to decrease the length of the tool string and the chance of it becoming lodged.
d. Place a temporary casing across sections of the hole causing problems.
2. Maintain an accurate and calibrated tension device.
3. With the ever-increasing size and weight of toolstrings, the logging engineer must be
extremely cautious when selecting the cable weak point. DITS toolstrings commonly exceed
1,000 lb.
4. If possible, run a downhole tension device as part of the standard logging string.
5. To help determine the normal tension, monitor tension readings while going into and coming
out of the hole.
6. Verify that the tool OD is the appropriate size for the borehole.
7. Gather complete data on hole history, if any, and hole condition, such as hole deviations,
build-up angle, windows, lost returns, bridges, ledges, and mud data, before beginning the
logging operation.
8. Lower the logging tool with proper cable tension and speed.
9. Avoid rapid cable descent because hole obstructions can cause tool spudding.
10. Be prepared for the bottom of the well and pick up quickly when you reach bottom. If the
tool seems to stick when picking up, do not touch bottom again.
Open Hole
In an open hole, the following conditions can cause the tool or cable to become stuck:
• debris on the well bottom
• mechanical keyseating of the cable at a dogleg in the borehole
• split or damaged casing shoe
• knotted, birdcaged, or broken cable strands
• differential pressure acting on the cable, bridle, tool, or possibly all three, especially across
depleted zones
• restricted hole size or bridge in the borehole can cause the toolstring to become wedged at
the head.
Cased Hole
In a cased hole, the following conditions can cause the tool or cable to become stuck:
• collapsed or damaged pipe
• entry into a reduced pipe size
• soft cement
• sand flow
• excessive logging speeds for hole conditions
• tool size exceeding limitations for casing size or conditions
• differential pressure sticking opposite perforations or casing leaks
• knotted, birdcaged, or broken cable strands
• debris in well
• cable damage by the upthrust of a perforating gun or head resulting from detonation in low
hydrostatic pressure
• wedging into packers, plugs, and landing nipples
Note: Although no tension ratings are specified for spliced cable, the limitations of
spliced cable never should exceed 50% of the new cable rating.
CAUTION Do not exceed 50% of the new-cable rating or two-thirds of the normal weak-point
rating, unless the customer orders otherwise.
Cable keyseating can result from two conditions:
• mechanical binding, usually where the cable cuts into a dogleg
• differential pressure sticking, in which one side of the cable becomes embedded in the
borehole wall so that it is no longer exposed to hydrostatic pressure. Differential-pressure
sticking forces and holds the cable on the borehole wall, resulting in increased cable friction.
Treat mechanical binding and differential pressure sticking identically. No reliable method exists
to differentiate between these types of sticking, and fishing concerns are identical.
1. Determine if the cable is keyseated and the depth at which it is keyseated by referring to the
appropriate stretch chart in Appendix A.
Note Increased tension of 1,000 lb is recommended because this figure is easy to read
on the stretch chart (If not possible, use 500 lbs.).
d. Flag the cable again at exactly the same elevation, and accurately measure the distance
between the marks. This distance indicates cable stretch.
e. Enter this stretch and associated tension increase on the appropriate keyseat chart for the
cable size and type in use. Determine the amount of cable which was stretched. Refer to
Appendix A for cable-stretch charts. For relatively straight holes, the amount of cable
stretched will be the total length of cable in the hole if only the tool is stuck, or the top of
the keyseat if the cable is keyseated.
Note: In directional or deviated wells, wall friction at the deviations reduces the
effective length of free cable, falsely indicating a keyseat at the deviation or at a point
shallower than the actual keyseat. The apparent keyseat may be inside the casing. It is
impossible to determine the exact location of the keyseat for this condition.
2. If the cable is keyseated, repeat Step 1 at other tensions. The keyseat tension may increase or
decrease. Record all data gathered. From the data, you should be able to determine whether
the tool is stuck or the cable is keyseated.
3. Set the drum brake with tension on the cable slightly above normal logging tension.
4. Inform the well owner or his agent that the toolstring or cable is stuck and that attempts are
being made to free the cable and tools by modest tension on the line.
5. Report the situation to the Halliburton district office. Provide complete information,
including the tool depth, keyseat test results, hole average size, casing size, type of drillpipe
tool joints, and radioactive source types and serial numbers if applicable. The Halliburton
manager will help plan the next steps and assist with presenting a fishing plan to the
customer. The Halliburton manager will arrange for fishing tools to be sent to the well.
Special Precautions
• Do not pull free from the tool until that strategy has been determined to be the most
effective procedure and all personnel have agreed. A logging tool stuck deep in a well is
easier to find with the logging cable attached.
• Do not exceed 50% of the new cable rating except at the customer’s request. Breaking the
cable may result in blame placed on a faulty cable. Remind the driller that pulling on a
keyseated cable will break it at the surface. Three weeks of fishing is typical in situations
where the cable is broken above a keyseat.
Note: While we owe the customer the benefit of experience, we must give advice so
that under no circumstance does it appear that we are supervising the job.
If Halliburton personnel assemble the fishing tools because of necessity or expedience, request
that the operator make up or check all joints to be certain they are properly made up and tight.
This action will serve as a reminder that the tools were properly assembled, tightened, and
inspected by the customer.
The following general terms and conditions are quoted from the HES Logging/Perforating Price
Schedule.
Customer shall, at its risk and expense, attempt to recover any
Halliburton equipment, tools, or instruments which are lost or lodged in
the well and if such equipment, tools or instruments are not recovered,
Customer shall pay Halliburton its replacement cost unless such loss is
due to the sole negligence of Halliburton. If Halliburton equipment,
tools or instruments are damaged in the well, Customer shall pay
Halliburton the lesser or its replacement cost or the cost of repairs unless
such damage is caused by the sole negligence of Halliburton. In the case
of equipment, tools, or instruments for marine operations, Customer
shall, in addition to the foregoing, be fully responsible for loss of or
damage to any of Halliburton’s equipment, tools, or instruments which
occurs at any time after delivery to Customer at the landing until
returned to the landing, unless such loss or damage is caused by the sole
negligence of Halliburton.
In the event a radioactive source becomes lost or lodged in the well,
Customer shall meet all requirements of Section 39.15(a) of the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission regulations and any other applicable laws of
regulations concerning retrieval or abandonment and shall permit
Halliburton to monitor the recovery or abandonment efforts all at no risk
or liability to Halliburton.
Customer further agrees that if any equipment, tools or instruments of
Halliburton sustain damage due to abrasion or corrosion by well
Section
Note: Immediately alert the division safety officer if the customer wants to try a
destructive fishing procedure.
CAUTION During fishing operations, Halliburton personnel must monitor the radiation level of the
mud flowline with a survey meter to verify the integrity of the downhole source in the
stuck. Alternatively, a logging tool such as a natural gamma ray tool, CSNG, for
example, can be used to monitor the radiation levels in mud pits.
Refer to Figure 2-1 for the action to take in the event a tool containing radioactive material becomes
lodged downhole. The Well Logging Supervisor (WLS) is responsible for completing each action. The
flowchart in Figure 2-1 refers to pages in this section where the WLS can find more information on the
steps in the flowchart. These steps and information are taken from Section 8-9 of the HES Radiation
Safety Procedures and Radiation Protection Program (Form 4227, Rev 0).

Fishing Sealed Sources or Radioactive Tools
Special consideration is necessary in the event logging tools containing radioactive materials become
lodged downhole. Fishing operations must be conducted according to HES Radiation Safety Procedures
and Radiation Protection Program Section 8-9 (Form 4227, Rev 0).
Refer to Figure 2-1 for a concise overview of steps to take when tools containing radioactive materials
become lodged downhole. Figure 2-1 contains references to sections in this document where the user
can find more specific information about the steps in the flowchart.
General Guidelines
In the event logging tools containing radioactive materials become lodged downhole, the Well Logging
Supervisor must
• Notify RRP who will contact the CRSO as stated in Notification of Radiation Incidents, page 2-7 in
this section. The CRSO will then contact applicable regulatory agencies.
• Ensure the RRP completes “RADIATION-RPT.” Refer to RADIATION-RPT Incident Report, page
2-9 this section.
• Maintain contact with operator advising of responsibilities as per Applicable Federal Nuclear
Regulatory Commission Regulations, page 2-3 this section.
• Remain on location during all fishing operations.
• Continually monitor the fluids circulating from the well at the surface for radiation by using a low
level beta/gamma survey meter. If possible, in addition to the survey meter, a gamma logging tool
should be placed in the mud return path and the output recorded.
• Shut down operations immediately if radioactive contamination is detected and confirmed during
fishing. This is extremely important as further activity can spread the contamination.
• Follow the appropriate procedures for source removal and storage as outlined in Section 5 of Form
4227 if retrieval operations are successful.
• Visually inspect source for signs of obvious damage such as abrasions or disfigurement from
pressure.
• Perform a leak test on the source upon returning to district office.
05/99 770.00444-B Confidential & Proprietary Radiation, Sealed Sources, and Abandonment 2-7
The RRP will contact the RSO when necessary and complete and send the appropriate formatted
incident memo, providing the details of the stuck radioactive material. The RSO will contact the
licensing agency as required by regulation.
The RRP will contact the CRSO when any of the following criteria are met.

Sealed Source Abandonment
If, after making all reasonable attempts to recover a tool containing a radioactive source, the source
remains stuck in the well, the source shall be classified as irretrievable. All abandonments must be
approved prior to commencement by the appropriate regulatory agency. If a source is classified as
irretrievable, the WLS shall:
• Contact the RRP. The RRP shall then contact the RSO.
• Discuss with the client the requirements of the applicable regulations regarding the safe
abandonment of radioactive sources. Refer to Applicable Federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Regulations, this section.
• In conjunction with the client or his representative, develop an abandonment plan which shall
include:
Method of immobilizing and sealing in place with a cement plug, placement of an indrillable object
to serve as a deflection device (unless cement plug is not accessible to any subsequent drilling
operations), the placement of an identification plaque (if practical), and plans for the well after the
abandonment. (P&A, sidetrack, produce at a shallower depth/etc.).
• Contact the RRP with the proposed abandonment details and pertinent well information. The RRP
should notify the RSO.
• Ensure that the appropriate regulatory agency is notified and permission for the abandonment is
requested.
• Ensure RRP notifies of agency’s response to request for permission.
If the permission is denied, the RSO will discuss alternatives with the appropriate individuals and
submit an abandonment plan to the regulatory agencies.
• Report final details of abandonment to RRP.
The RSO shall obtain a well plaque and supply to the client. The RSO shall notify in writing the
regulatory agency responsible for the licensing of radioactive materials within 30 days of the
completion of the abandonment.
Note It is the responsibility of the client to notify the regulatory agency responsible for
the drilling and production of oil and gas wells. (Texas Railroad Commission,
Oklahoma Corporation Commission, Oil and Gas Board, etc.).
Typical Abandonments
The following examples are intended to aid the client, the WLS, and the CRSO in the development of
an abandonment plan. All abandonments shall be approved by the regulatory agencies prior to their
implementation.
05/99 770.00444-B Confidential & Proprietary Radiation, Sealed Sources, and Abandonment 2-13
above the plug. Refer to Figure 2-7. A plaque with the information required in 10 CFR, part 39.15 is
prepared and mounted on the surface. Typical deflection devices include a whipstock, inverted drill
bit, drill collars, or steel ball bearings. Halliburton also offers the bottom hole kickoff assembly tool
that creates a false bottom, or mechanical plug, in the open hole that prevents cement plugs from
sliding downhole. This solution is superior to the standard whipstock device. A plug of less than 200
feet may be set, if there is not enough hole below the producing zone.
Note This option is also practical when the well is going to be plugged and abandoned.

However, if the customer has instrument protection, please refer to HES Logging/Perforating Price
Schedule which requires a minimum of three complete attempts for it to apply. An exerpt follows.
Instrument Protection
In certain areas Halliburton may offer instrument protection which offers limited
protection to the customer against the responsibility for loss of Halliburton downhole
equipment. Instrument protection may not be offered under abormal logging
conditions. Instrument protection is not available for thru-drillpipe, Coil Tubing
Conveyed, Offshore & Inland water, ToolPusher, HEAT SUITE, NMR equipment, or
third party services.
When subsurface tools and/or instruments are lost in a well due to hole conditions and
cannot be recovered by fishing operations, the replacement cost will be covered by the
following protection charge per service run in the well. Instrument protection charges
are applicable to each service performed on each trip to a well. When instrument
protection is available but not desired, customer must so indicate on the contract prior
to the commencement of operations.
The customer must make every reasonable effort to recover tools or instruments for
this protection to apply. A reasonable fishing effort is at least three complete attempts
to the top of the fish to recover the lost equipment, exclusive of attempts to recover
cable. If the customer is unable to make a fishing effort due to any cause beyond the
control of Halliburton, then instrument protection shall not apply.
Equipment covered by instrument protection shall include the cable head and all
equipment below the cable head. Instrument protection does not cover cost of repair
of recovered equipment, which will be charged as “Equipment Lost or Damaged”
above.

Section
Halliburton equipment is designed with an adequate safety factor if used under normal
conditions. However, a stuck cable or tool is not considered a normal condition.
Inspect the lower sheave chain to verify that it is free of nicks or other damage. Double-wrapping
the lower sheave chain does not always strengthen the connection. Tension in linked chains is
typically resolved to one wrap or the other and is not distributed between the wraps.
The upper sheave must be installed by the rig crew using a certified 14-ton chain. Make sure the
chain is properly attached to the water table beams and has been inspected and approved as
indicated by the inspection tag. Replace any chain permanently deformed by a sharp edge while
supporting a heavy load. Never use a sling to attach any sheave.
Keep the rotary table covered to avoid dropping objects into the well during rigging operations.
Determine the maximum safe tension that can be applied to the cable. The cable never must be
broken. The weak point must not be broken until the HES representative has thoroughly
discussed the situation with the customer and the customer has decided to break the weak point.
Refer to the cable and weak-point data tables on the following pages and to “Choosing the
Fishing Technique” in Section 4, “Fishing Technique Overview.”
Cable Strength
The strength of each new cable is known. Your estimate of the strength of a used cable should be
reasonably accurate; however, the actual strength of any used cable is unknown. Since the
customer often cites a broken logging cable as a reason to cancel charges, never state any tension
05/99 770.00444-B Confidential & Proprietary Cable Strength and Safety Considerations 3-1
capabilities of any cable. Instead, inform the customer that, because of well conditions and
efforts to free the stuck cable or tool, the cable might break before the weak point.
Note: The customer’s orders to pull on a stuck cable or tool must be without
Halliburton’s guarantee (or estimate) on the cable strength.
Never exceed 50% of the new-cable rating, except at the customer’s orders. Table 3-1 lists the
cable ratings for typical logging cable. These ratings are based on a combination of ends-fixed
and ends-free tension.

strong.” It must be strong enough to normally carry the logging tools involved until it is desired
to pull free, yet must also be able to break within 50% of the rating of the cable in use.
Recognizing that a broken cable in the hole is a catastrophe while an occasional dropped tool is
of much less consequence, the choice of the weak point must always be toward the lower rating
for each condition.
3-2 Cable Strength and Safety Considerations Confidential & Proprietary 770.00444 - B 05/99
Weak-Point Strength
Always choose the weak point so that it breaks before the cable breaks or is otherwise damaged.
Although localized defects in the cable could cause it to break elsewhere, the most likely place
for the cable to break is at the sheave wheels or the measuring head.
Safety is paramount when excess tension is applied to the cable. If the cable breaks, it will likely
break above the wellhead, endangering all drilling and logging personnel on or around the rig
floor and logging unit.
WARNING The free ends of a broken cable whip violently. Make sure that all
personnel are well away from the wireline before applying unusually high
tension. Apply truck parking brakes and chocks behind wheels. Off-shore,
ensure the skid is securely restrained.
The tension at any point in the cable on the tool side of the top sheave is equal to the weight of
the cable below that point plus the weight of the tools (provided the tools are not stuck) plus any
additional tension applied to move the tools. For a vertical or near-vertical well where line
friction is negligible, the closer to the logging tool, the lower the tension in the cable. At the
weak point, the tension is the weight of the tools plus any additional tension applied to move the
tools. If the tools are stuck, weak-point tension is equal to the tension in the cable at the surface
minus the line weight.
Select the weak point so that when the tools are at the deepest point in the well, the operator can
pull the cable hard enough to break the weak point without exceeding 50% of the new cable
tension rating at the surface. To select the proper weak point, the following data must be known:
• depth of the well to be logged
• mud weight used in the well
• type of cable to be used
The weak link must be chosen according to OEB-96/081 (amended), included in Appendix C, or
the program WPCALC presently available for PCs. The help file is available for reading here.

3-4 Cable Strength and Safety Considerations Confidential & Proprietary 770.00444 - B 05/99
For example, select a weak point using the following data.
• Well = 17,000 ft
• Mud weight = 9.5 lb/gal
• Wireline = Camesa 15/32, 7J46RTZ
4. Look up the required information in Appendix A. The weight per 1,000 ft is found on the
first row of the Camesa tables in Appendix A.
• Cable weight in water (WCW)= 274 lb/kft
• Minimum breaking strength = 18,000 lb
a. WCM = 265 lb/kfL
b. (0.5 x 18,000 lb) - 265 lb/kfL x 17 kft = 4500 lbs
c. At a depth of 17,000 feet, a maximum pull of 4,500 lb can be applied to the weak point
without exceeding 50% of the breaking strength of the line. The strongest weak point
that can be safely used is 3.30769 (Table 3-2), with a maximum breaking strength of
4,450 lb and a minimum breaking strength of 3,900 lb.
05/99 770.00444-B Confidential & Proprietary Cable Strength and Safety Considerations 3-5
Note: The weak-point ratings are limited by the maximum permissible tensions for
cables.
Construction
The outer armors and the inner armors of any logging cable are wound in helixes which run in
opposite directions, i.e. one tends to unwind when the other gets wound up. Consequently,
regardless of the type of cable used, always use at least one inner armor (and preferably two)
when building a cased hole rope socket, as this will prevent the outer armors from unraveling.
The cones should not be reused, especially in the case of a larger line, because the brass cones
will suffer indentations which tend to become preferential paths for the strands under tension,
resulting in premature failure of the rope socket.
The actual strength of a cased hole rehead is a function of the quality of the rehead, and depends
among other things upon the level of expertise of the operator and upon the condition of the
wireline. It is good practice for each base to occasionally perform local pull tests to check local
techniques.
Rig up/down
A rope socket will break prematurely if a pull is applied in a non- uniform fashion, which
generally should not happen downhole, as the length of cable involved will result in elastic
stretch first, which is equivalent to a shock absorber.
On the other hand, during rig up and rig down operation, it is possible to get hung up in the
Christmas tree or in a tool catcher while moving at excessive speeds, and the rope socket may
break at half its published rating (function of speed). This emphasizes the importance of proper
operating procedures, such as an operator weighing on the cable as the head approaches surface
at low speed (the operator becoming the shock absorber).
Head types
The following results are valid for the standard Halliburton 1-7/16 cased hole rehead, the older
design G-series 1-7/16 cablehead, the 1-7/16 cablehead manufactured by Applied Electronics
and the 3916 series 1-7/16 cablehead from Titan (also called type II); all these designs have
cones which are strand type sensitive and have compression washers (cone retainers) which are
the same for all line sizes.
No evaluation has been done for any other design, such as the 3915 design from Titan for
example, where the cone is the same regardless of the line size and where the compression
washer is a function of the line.
3-6 Cable Strength and Safety Considerations Confidential & Proprietary 770.00444 - B 05/99
Rope socket strength
The following values can vary by about +/- 10% as pointed out in “Construction.”
Monoconductors
For most monoconductor cables, the diameter of an outer armor strand is exactly the same as the
diameter of an inner armor strand (two exceptions being the 1L18 from Camesa which is a 12 x
12 design and the 1K22 series from Camesa, which is a 15 x 15 design). As a result, for these
cables, the rope socket strength is a function of the total number of armors used to build the rope
socket, regardless if they are inner or outer.
The rope socket strength for a new monoconductor line is:
85% x Total number of armors x armor breaking strength

REMARKS:
1. The cased hole rehead cone has only 12 holes through which to thread the armors, which essentially
ensures that even with a new cable and a perfect rebuild, the rope socket breaking strength should be less
than half the cable breaking strength.
2. The multiplication coefficient of 0.85 is only 0.80 for the slammer cable, because due to the larger
diameter of the outer armor strands for the slammer cable, it is more difficult to build a good quality rope
socket for that line size.
3. Cable breaking strength:
Note that the rope socket breaking strength can be determined as a function of the number of armors used in
its construction because the armors work in pure tension.
For the cable itself, the armors are not parallel to the cable axis, but are wound around the core with a lay
angle which is a function of each particular cable. Consequently, the breaking strength of the cable itself is
not: Ni x BS(i) + No x BS(o)
but is given by the following formula:
Ni x cos(i) x BS(i) + No x cos(o) x BS(o)
Where: Ni = number of inner armors
05/99 770.00444-B Confidential & Proprietary Cable Strength and Safety Considerations 3-9
i = inner armor lay angle
BS(i) = breaking strength of an individual inner armor
No = number of outer armors
o = outer armor lay angle
BS(o) = breaking strength of an outer armor
Liability Considerations
Verify all facts before rendering an opinion to the customer about what you feel caused the
fishing job. Protect Halliburton’s interests and be very cautious about making statements which
access blame or liability on the part of any party.

Section
Cut-and-Thread
If the cable is keyseated, the most practical fishing method is to cut and thread the cable through
the drillpipe. Refer to “Special Precautions” in Section 1, Introduction to Fishing. Do not break
the cable.
If the tool contains a radioactive source and is stuck in
• an uncased portion of the well,
• a position far above total depth in a cased hole,
perform the following procedures:
1. Do not pull off of the tool at the weakpoint.
2. Recommend the cut-and-thread technique (also referred to as “strip over”) to the customer.
3. Call the Halliburton district office.
4. Refer to Section 2, “Radiation, Sealed Sources, and Abandonment.”
Reverse Cut-and-Thread
The reverse cut-and-thread technique is similar to the cut-and-thread technique except that the
wireline remains connected to the toolstring after successful engagement of the fish and while
pulling out of the hole (The cable is cut every 90 feet).
Side-Door Overshot
• A tool stuck at the end of surface pipe is best recovered using the side-door overshot
technique. The casing ID must not be less than 5½ in. to allow the cablehead torpedo and
bridle to pass through the sidedoor. At the lower limit of casing size, any bumpers or tape on
the cablehead could cause wedging of the cable between the casing ID and the overshot.
• The side-door overshot is a practical option when the tool is stuck at a shallow depth (3,000
ft or less) in open hole. The hole should be large enough so that tool joints do not damage the
cable.
Note: The side-door overshot fishing technique should not be used on keyseated
cable.
• If a smooth logging tool will not enter a casing shoe, the side-door overshot can be run
without a grapple. The overshot, in this case, acts only as a guide for the fishing head. Little
or no damage occurs to the tool, and, if successful, no surface repairs are required for the
tool to re-enter the hole.
• If the hole is large, depth is shallow, cable is not keyseated, and procedures are followed, the
recovery rates for the side-door overshot technique approach 100%.
• Information on side-door overshot technique can be found in Section 6, Performing the Side-
Door Overshot Technique.
Note: Make the customer aware that he accepts the risks if he chooses to break the
cable weak point.
• Although breaking the weak point may seem to be the easiest immediate solution, this option
can cause subsequent problems. The customer may not be fully aware of these dangers.
• Inform the customer of the inherent risks of breaking the weak point while attempting to free
the tool through the use of increased tension. Separation of the cable from the stuck tool
prohibits the use of the cut-and-thread technique.
• If the tool is short or if the hole is large, engaging the fish with the cable disconnected may
be impossible because of adverse tool attitude in the hole.
• Fishing statistics (from the freeing-at-the-weakpoint technique) consistently show 90 to 94%
recovery rates, with many failures resulting from inferior fishing attempts.
• Information on freeing at the weak point can be found in Section 7, Performing the Freeing-
at-the-Weak-Point Technique.
Equipment Needed
The following equipment is needed for the cut-and-thread technique:
• Bowen fishing kit
• remote tension meter
• intercom set
• 5-ft pup joint of sucker rod (helpful if the cable was cut too low)
• 300 ft of ¼-in. rope to control the end of the cable when going over the top sheave
• 30 ft of ½-in. rope to hold the lower sheave straight
Tell the customer what subs are available in your kit for adaptation to his drillpipe. Current kits
contain subs that are 4½-in. API IF (per field requests) for the top end of the overshot top sub
and both ends of the circulating sub. The subs available previously were 4½-in. API FH.
The fishing kit is available to the customer as a courtesy. Advise the customer that this
equipment is in good working order but cannot be guaranteed.

unscrews, separates, or malfunctions.
The customer also should arrange to have three subs available that are necessary if the drillpipe
is not 4½-in. API IF, and for any other special sub that might be needed. Halliburton can advise
the customer, but the customer is responsible for all rental charges.

spear.
Note: Use the correct slip size for each cable and use new slips every time. Use a slip
assembly only once.
The body of the slip assembly must have a bright, smooth, tapered surface inside. Routine
inspection is necessary.
When selecting the spearhead and rope socket, verify that the assembly will not drop through the
bushing (no-go) in the top sub of the overshot. Make sure the spearhead and rope socket
assembly will pass through the drillpipe and any crossover. Inspect the parts. During assembly,
refer to Figure 5-3. Table B-3 and B-4 in Appendix B provide parts information for each

2. Screw the cap (item 1 of Figure 5-3) onto the body (item 2 of Figure 5-3). Choose the correct
cap for the wireline used.
3. Insert the wireline through the cap and the body, leaving approximately 2 to 3 ft of line

6. While holding the line with one hand and the cone with the other, push the line into the cone.
When the brass cap has been pushed through, shake the cone and slips so that the line passes
through the slips.
7. After the line passes through the slips, position the line approximately 1 in. past the top of
the slips.
8. Place the cone and slips into the body (item 2 of Figure 5-3) by pulling the cap and body to
the slip assembly.
9. Place the spring over the end of the line and into the body (item 2 of Figure 5-3). The spring
must rest on the top of the slip assembly.
10. Screw the top sub onto the body and tighten on the well end of the cable. The top sub is
changed for the hex adapter (item 17 of Figure 5-3) after the top sub is threaded through the
overshot assembly. The plain top sub remains in place for the logging unit end of the cable.
11. After the top sub and body have been made up, push the cable inward until the cable bottoms
out into the top sub. The cable should move approximately 2 in. Refer to the “Reliable” four-
slip assembly drawing in Figure 5-4.
12. Perform a pull test when the derrick is rigged properly, the rope socket and overshot are
assembled to the logging-unit end of the cable, and the rope socket and spear are assembled
to the well end of the cable.
a. Latch the overshot to the spear while the cable clamp remains on the cable.
b. Mark the cable adjacent to each rope socket with tape or a paint stick.
c. Apply the expected working load or a minimum of 5,000 lb to the cable.
d. After one minute, check the marks on the cable to determine if the cable has moved in
either rope socket. It is normal for the line to move approximately 3/8 in. to 1/2 in. while
the slip assembly seats.
e. Decrease tension on the cable and repeat Steps c and d. There should be no additional
movement if the slips have seated properly. If there is no additional movement, proceed
to Step f. Otherwise, repeat Steps c and d until the slips seat.
Note: If the line has moved more than ¾ in. during this test, disassemble and inspect
the rope socket.
f. Decrease the tension on the cable, remove the adapter from the rope socket, and try to
dismantle the rope socket without using the extractor tool. The pull test was successful if
the rope socket cannot be dismantled and if there was no appreciable slippage. (Note the
length of line protruding into the top sub.)
g. If the drillpipe ID is large enough for the 2 1/4-in. hex adapter, pass the well end of the
cable through the overshot and threaded insert before replacing the hex adapter. The hex
adapter is larger than the insert. If the ID of the drillpipe is too small for the 2¼-in. hex
adapter, use the 11 1/16-in. alternate adapter instead.

CAUTION If the stuck tool string contains a radioactive source, monitor the mud flowline with a
survey meter to verify the integrity of the source.
Note: Circulating with mud is mandatory if cable tension increases at the depth of the
fish.
With the overshot a short distance from the fish, check the depth data. Do not misinterpret any
tension data because of incorrect depth data. Though the tool is now ready to be recovered,
remember that it has been stuck for several hours. The tool may have originally been stuck in a
bridge or hole restriction. It is now covered by cuttings and debris, which must be removed by
mud circulation.

1. The distance (b) below elevation (Point 5 in Figure 5-5) is the spearhead elevation when
cable tension at the head is zero (position 2). Downward travel of the spearhead below Point
2 results in slack cable in the hole. The object is to provide a sufficient length of drillpipe so
that when the pipe has been lowered to the point where the overshot engages the fish, the
spearhead is still at or above Point 2.
2. If the spearhead is mounted in the circulating sub and held at elevation (Point 2), use the
drillpipe tally and the known depth of the fish to calculate the distance from the overshot to
the fish.
3. Look for a drillpipe joint or a combination of subs that places the circulating sub a few feet
higher than Distance D above point 2, or cut a new rope socket to accommodate the available
subs.

and tool while preventing the tool from entering. Engage the mud pumps at this stage.
3. The mud pressure removes the debris and boot when this situation exists, and will then drop
to the previously recorded normal reading. When the fish is truly engaged, the mud-pump
pressure will remain at an increased figure because the mud must leave through the ports in
the overshot.
4. Although interrupting circulation during a cut-and-thread fishing job is dangerous, the
procedure can be accomplished successfully. The key is that mud must be circulated a
sufficient period of time to ensure that the debris is carried to the surface.
Note: If the customer selects the reverse cut-and-thread technique, the following steps
do not apply because the wireline remains connected to the tool.
When the engagement with the fish is confirmed by pipe motion and its effect on cable tension,
and by mud-pump pressure, the weak point can then safely be broken. Perform the following
steps to retrieve the wireline from the well.
1. Reinstall the cable clamp. Request the driller to latch elevators around the cable under the
cable clamp and pull until the weak point breaks. Check the driller’s tension gauge, and
record the tension at which the weak point breaks.
If you selected the proper weak point, it should break when you apply tension equal to
approximately 50% cable breaking strength at surface. The upward pipe movement required
to break the weak point can therefore be approximated by
K(stretch constant) x D(depth) x (50% B.S. - Normal Tension)
If the weak point does not break at that point, the cablehead might be so obstructed by debris that
the tension applied at the surface does not reach the weak point. Stop pulling on the cable
clamp and start mud circulation again. Repeat this step.
2. Cut the cables to remove the rope sockets.
3. Attach the well end of the cable to the logging-unit end of the cable by tying the cable ends
together in a square knot.
4. Pull up the cable until the square knot is tight. Tape the loose ends of the cable, and remove
the cable clamp. Spool the cable onto the cable drum, pulling the knot carefully over the top
sheave and removing the drum spooling device while the knot passes. The cable clamp must
be reinstalled and the cable tension maintained by the elevators for both of these operations.
5. While the cable is removed, the driller can move the pipe up and down.
6. If the cable breaks instead of the weak point, pull the pipe until the other end of the cable is
recovered. Engage the cable clamp, and pull as before.
7. Arrange for a worker on the rig floor to catch the bridle and/or cablehead when it arrives at
the surface. Tie a ¼-in. rope to the bridle so that it can be pulled over the top sheave and
lowered to the rig floor without falling.

Retrieving the Fish From the Hole
Bring the drillpipe and fish out of the hole without rotating the drillpipe in the hole. Rotation
may disengage and drop the fish.
After the tool has reached the surface, determine the best way to remove it from the overshot
without damaging the tool and without dropping it or any hand tools into the well.
1. Generally, the tool must be removed from the overshot or cablehead in the vertical position.
2. Some tools can be set into slips in the rotary. With a rope attached for additional safety, the
overshot can be bumped, rotated clockwise, and removed.
3. The rat hole is often the best place to tie the tool while disconnecting it from the cable head.
4. The head and fishing bell can be left in the overshot while the overshot is being removed
from the sub and drillpipe.
5. With the overshot and head on the rig floor, bump down to release tension on the grapple,
and turn clockwise with tongs to remove.
Note: The customer’s contract states “recover or pay.” Do not void this contract by
blaming Halliburton’s crew or equipment for failure.
• Use the largest guide appropriate for the hole size on the overshot.
• Using locally established procedures, select the proper place to cut the cable. A good rule is
to leave 1 ft of cable above the rotary table per 1,000 ft of cable in the hole (7 ft minimum) if
the cable is not keyseated. Extra length is needed when the cable is keyseated.
• Prepare the rope sockets according to the latest specifications. Perform a pull test to 6,000 lb
with the cable hanger in place. Remove the adapter sub, and try to dismantle it. If the rope
socket was correctly assembled, it cannot be dismantled without using the extractor tool.
05/99 770.00444-B Confidential & Proprietary Performing the Cut-and-Thread Technique 5-17
Pass the lower rope socket through the Bowen overshot before installing the 2¼-in. hex
adapter. The lower rope socket cannot pass the 2 3/16-in. bushing at the top of the overshot.
• Maintain cable tension at about 2,000 lb above normal cable tension. The excess tension and
the large guide help remove a cable from the keyseat ahead of the overshot. If the cable is
not pulled out of the keyseat in this way, it can double back, breaks armor strands, and
disrupt the fishing job.
• Trip into the hole slowly. If necessary, remind the driller or superintendent to slow down.
Any cable tension increase requires prompt correction. Running into a bridge in the borehole
with the cable wedged between the overshot and the bridge may cut the cable. Stop tripping
if any increase in cable tension is observed. Pull up and advance slowly while monitoring the
tension changes; the cable tension may need to be increased or mud circulation started.
• Any tension increase at the fish depth means the overshot is packed full of cuttings and junk.
Clean the hole by circulation.
Note: Mud circulation at the stuck tool cleans the hole of debris but does not keep the
overshot clean if the top of the tool is covered by a bridge. The weight of the pipe on the
bridge and tool can push the tool down but also can pack the overshot with foreign
material. Compacted material in the overshot can cause the overshot to engage the
fishing bell boot and bridle, but not the fishing bell. The tool then moves up or down
with the pipe, indicating that the tool has been engaged. However, when the weak point
is broken, the tool cannot be recovered. This chain of events accounts for the greatest
number of cut-and-thread failures. Planning and performing an effective fishing
procedure for each job comes only from experience. The cable should be kept tight and
yet must be hung in the circulating sub during circulation.
• Verify that the tool is engaged using a tension device and mud-pump pressure.
• Do not rotate the drillpipe while coming out of the hole.
• Remove the logging tool cautiously. Carelessness can damage an otherwise undamaged
recovered tool.
Potential Problems
Even when every precaution has been taken in the setup, preparation, rope socket assembly, and
testing, dropping the well end of the cable in the hole is still a danger. If the cable is dropped in
the hole and cannot be recovered, the cut-and-thread procedure now becomes the difficult
problem of retrieving a broken cable in the hole above a keyseat. To avoid problems associated
with dropping the well end of the cable:
• Keep the point of the spear and the dogs in the overshot in good condition. Monitor for the
correct engagement each time. The overshot locking feature is reliable, but must be properly
maintained and monitored.
• If the lower rope socket and spear (with the 2¼-in. hex nut) has been dropped, there are two
possible methods of recovery:
− The assembly may be recovered by simply running the overshot down to where it has
come to rest in the drillpipe.
5-18 Performing the Cut-and-Thread Technique Confidential & Proprietary 770.00444 - B 05/99
− Pull the pipe to recover the assembly and cable, as the 2 1/4-in. hex nut is resting on the
2 3/16-in. or 2 1/8-in. bushing in the top of the overshot. This method is impractical if
the ID of the pipe makes it necessary to substitute the 1 11/16-in. adapter for the 2 1/4-
in. hex adapter.
CAUTION Make sure every joint is made up firmly. Tool damage, lost time or both can result if the
cut-and-thread assembly unscrews at any joint.

Equipment Needed
The side-door overshot depicted in Figure 6-1 is available from Bowen Tools, Inc. Two subs
enable the overshot to connect to the following:
• 3 1/2-in. pipe with standard API line pipe thread, 8 TPI
• 2-in. external upset tubing with 2-in. round thread, 8 TPI
• upper end of the tool, if it has a 2 1/2-in. female connection, 6 TPI
If the drillpipe or tubing is a different size or has a different thread, additional subs are needed.
The customer may ask for help in obtaining these from a vendor.

Side-Door Overshot Procedures
1. Verify that the borehole is large enough to accommodate the side-door overshot. The OD of
the side-door overshot is 4½ in., but a minimum hole size of 5½ in. is required at the point
where the torpedo (if used) must pass through the side slot. A hole size of 7 in. or greater is
recommended. If the cable or bridle is wrapped around the pipe, the hole size must be greater
than the largest tool joint or coupling, plus twice the cable diameter.
2. Support the cable at the rotary with the cable clamp.
3. Hang the upper sheave and tension device to one side in the derrick to provide clearance for
the traveling block, as explained in Section 5, “Cut-and-Thread Technique.”
1. Prepare the side-door overshot to enter the hole. Refer to Figure 6-1 and Figure 6-2 below
during this assembly.

c. Remove the side plate by unscrewing the four Allen (socket-head cap) screws and
sliding the plate toward the bottom of the tool.
d. Select the correct sub, and connect the overshot to the drillpipe or tubing. Tighten with
tongs.
e. Lay the cable through the side-plate opening so that it passes the roller and down through
the lower center of the overshot.
f. Reinstall the plate and the four Allen (socket-head cap) screws.
g. Select the correct size of grapple, and thread it around the cable. Slide the grapple into
the lower end of the overshot, and rotate it counterclockwise into the buttress thread of
the body.
h. Reinstall the control ring, and tighten the set screws that hold it.
5. Lock the rotary table. This is necessary since the cable will rest on one side.
6. Apply normal tension on the cable, and set the winch brake.
7. Remove the cable clamp.
8. Lower the overshot and the first joint of pipe into the hole. Check the slips. A segment of
slips may have to be removed to avoid damage to the cable.
9. Make up a second joint of pipe by hand.

Precautions for Side-Door Overshot
• Protect the logging cable.
− The borehole must be large enough to accommodate the fishing mechanism.
− The slips must allow for the cable to pass through the rotary.
− The rotary table must be locked.
− Do not rotate the drillpipe.
− Monitor the cable tension.
− Lower the pipe slowly.
• Descending with the drillpipe while the cable is keyseated can break the weak point.
• Protect the logging tool while removing it from the overshot.

The Bowen Series 150 and 105 overshot are most common, and subs are available from the
Bowen fishing kit.
Note: Although some suggest that the Bowen Series 105 overshot should not be used
when fishing for a free tool, many fishing companies use the Bowen Series 150
overshots instead of their own slip-type overshot. The fish, however, must be standing
straight in the hole (or be straightened by guides) to enter the spiral grapple. The Bowen
overshot positive release is a feature many other tools do not have.
The services of a fishing company are essential if any cable remains in the hole above the tools.
The fishing team selects spears or washover pipes to suit the conditions.
Freeing-at-the-weak-point Procedures
1. Dress the overshot and securely connect it to the drillpipe. Refer to Section 5, Performing the
Cut-and-Thread Technique.
2. Approach the fish while slowly circulating mud through the drillpipe. Record the pump rate
and pressure. The circulating mud keeps the overshot clean and removes any bridge material
surrounding the fishing bell.
3. If possible, do not rotate the overshot more than one revolution to engage the fish.
4. The holes in the Bowen Series 105 or other adapter subs, such as the Bowen 150, permit the
mud to escape at a higher pressure when the fish has been engaged.
5. Warn the driller that the tool will collapse under the weight of the drillpipe and that the
tensile strength of the tool is limited to approximately 120,000 lbs for standard threaded
rings and 50,000 lbs for LSS or FWST. In compression, the sonic tool has been known to get
deformed in washouts at 5,000 lbs, while the DILT, HRIT and DLLT might break in
washouts at 11,000 lbs. Advise the driller not to place excessive weight on the tool while on
bottom.
6. Do not rotate the drillpipe when coming out of the hole.
7. Remove the logging tool cautiously. When a Bowen overshot with a spiral grapple is used,
bump the tool down and rotate it clockwise one turn per 1 in. of withdrawal.

Appendix
Appendix A
Sometimes in logging operations a tool or the logging line itself becomes lodged or stuck at a
particular point in the well. The amount of line above the stuck point can be determined by measuring
how much the line stretches in response to a given change in tension. This determination gives the
depth of the stuck point.
To carry out this procedure, the logging line is allowed to go slack in the hole. It is then pulled in such
a way that there is no slack in the line but there is also very little increase in the line tension from the
slack condition. A piece of tape is attached to the line next to a fixed reference point adjacent to the
line. The line tension is increased either 500 lbs. or 1000 lbs.
Now find the particular table corresponding to the type of cable in use. The increased tension
corresponds to the column in the attached tables called “Slack Tension + 500 lbs.,” or “Slack Tension
+ 1000 lbs.” The distance D that the piece of tape attached to the line has moved from the fixed
reference point is measured. Find D in column 2 (if 500 lbs. Used) or column 3 (if tension increased
1000 lbs.) Read the stuck depth as the number in column 1 in the same row as D in column 2 or 3.
The weight of the line in a hole filled with air and the weight of a line in a hole filled with water are
given in columns 4 and 5 for informaiton.
The approximate slack tension for the line is given in column 4 for an air-filled hole and column 5 for
a water-filled hole.
These tables are based on an “average” system coeffecient for each type of cable. Thios coeffecient is
shown at the top of the table. For a more exact determination of stuck point, the actual stretch
coeffecient can be measured using an extensiometer such as one manufactured by Kerr Measurement
Systems, Houston TX.
As the cable tension is changed a known amount, this device accurately measures the elongation or
stretch coefficient. A table pertaining to any particular cable can be generated using this measured
stretch coefficient to generate corrected numbers for columns 2 and 3.
Simply multiply the number in column 1 times the measured stretch coefficient times 0.5 to get the
numbers in column 2. Multiply the number in column 1 times the measured stretch coeffecient to get
the numbers in column 3.

Appendix
Appendix C
Appendix C contains a copy of OEB 96/081 (Amendment)-Maximum Logging Tension Weak Link
Selection
Introduction:
There has been a lot of uncertainty in the past regarding proper determination of the weak link and
maximum pull in a deviated hole, both in the literature and in people’s mind.
This OEB is an attempt at providing the theoretical background necessary to fully understand how
surface tension is transmitted to the head of the tool string, which in turn is then utilized to select the
correct weak link.
We fully realize that most of you will skip the calculations, but hopefully, all of you will understand that
the concept of pull over normal logging tension is obsolete and dangerous. A simplified formula which
will allow you to select the proper weak link at the wellsite, provided you have a hand held calculator, is
provided, and a floppy will be sent upon request, which will provide a more user friendly version, but
limited to users who have a PC with Windows available.
Once we have enough feedback available, the same program will be made available on Desktop.
In an ideal vertical hole, the logging cable would not be touching the borehole: therefore there would be
no friction applied to the cable. While logging up, the normal tension read at surface can then be
expressed as:
T = Wcm*Z + Twl
Note that under normal logging conditions, Twl is the sum of the weight of the tool string in mud and
the friction of the tool string against the borehole: this value can only be estimated or measured, but
cannot be calculated precisely. We do know though that we want Twl to be less than 66% of the weak
link rating!

in part without the prior written consent of Halliburton Energy Services.
Deviated Wells:
Let us consider a small element of cable just starting to move in the upward direction on a fixed cathead
(see figure #1):
T + dT = F + T
N ≅ 2T * d/2 = T * d
Then: T + dT = F + T becomes:
dT =Td
dT/T =d
dT/T = d
and by integrating between points 0 and 1:
T1 = T0 * exp ( * )
Now, suppose that during logging conditions we are stuck at depth Z. Let’s call Zkb the start depth of
the kick off and Zke the end of the kick off. (see figure #2)
P = T1 + Wcm * Zkb
T1 = P - Wcm * Zkb
So: P - Wcm * Zkb = [ T + (Z - Zke) * Wcm * (cos + sin )] * exp (*)
Generalization:
SIMPLIFICATION:
P = T * exp() + Wcm * Z
which is obtained for a single kick off by using: (cos +sin) * exp() = 1
Notes: * This value results in the choice of a safer weak link than the traditional method of assuming a
vertical hole, but will still be optimistic. If there is any doubt, use the complete formula for double or
multiple dogleg.
* As always, the weak link determination is based on the assumption that you are stuck at the
tool.
T = (P - Wcm * Z) / exp()
By inputting P as the maximum allowable pull on the logging cable (50% of the new cable breaking
strength) and Z as TD (total depth), you obtain a value of T.
Rounding down T to the closest thousand unit, F, will give you the weak link value.
Having chosen the weak link with a breaking strength of F, you can now determine the maximum pull in
the well at any depth before actually running in the hole by using the following formula:
As a reminder, this formula means that what is important is only the tension applied to the weak link,
wherever it comes from. For this particular application, it does not matter what the tool weighs in air or
in fluid, or what the drag on the tool is.
Also, this clearly shows that there is no such a thing as pull over normal logging tension to be
considered! The weak link is already subject to the friction on the tool and we do not know what it is, so
pulling “over” anything means applying an unknown pull on the weak link (thus the legends of the
premature failures of the weak links).
One way to visualize this point is to assume the tool is stuck; if you slack off the cable, the tool will still
be stuck and the tension on the weak link will be zero: when you pull now, the maximum pull on the
weak link will only be a result of the tension on the cable, it has nothing to do with what is below, be it a
quad or an SP sub!
This emphasizes why it is important to know the maximum pull you can apply at any time: you start
getting stuck, if you are lucky you might still be in a dynamic situation with a lower coefficient of
friction (on the tool string) than in a static situation and the tool might not be stuck yet. Apply your
maximum tension straight away, do not wait, hold it and do not slack off.

Z0 = 0 = surface
There are n doglegs and we will call the tension on the weak link: T(2n) = Twl
We can write the following sets of equations:
At Z0 = surface: P = T0 + Wcm(Z1-Z0)(cos0+sin0)
At Z1 : T0 = T1*exp{|1-0|}
T1 = T2 + Wcm(Z2-Z1)(cos1+sin1)
At Z2 : T2 = T3exp{|2-1|}
T3 = T4 + Wcm(Z3-Z2)(cos2+sin2)
At TD : T(2n) = Twl

k =1
with:
Z0 = 0
Zn + 1 = TD
∆θ 0 = 0
If we call µ k the coefficient of friction of the cable against the borehole wall at depth Z k , the above
equation should actually be written:
k n
∑ µi ∆θ i ∑ µi ∆θ i
n i =1
P = Wcm * ∑ (Zk + 1 − Zk )(cos θ k + µ k sin θ k )e + Twl * ei = 1
k =1
This equation allows you to input different values of µ, for example to differentiate between cased and
open hole: you can input µ = µ csg in the upper section of the hole and µ = µ OH in the bottom section
of the hole, starting with this last value of µ at the dogleg below the shoe.
FINAL REMARKS:
A program has been developed by Wes Ludwig in “Visual Basic” and is available upon request from
Operations Engineering: we will send you a floppy which can be used on a PC system, and we would
only expect to receive some feedback in return. This would allow field locations to perform training and
weak link selection at the base before (and after) the job and to then develop a local database which
would allow to better approximate the value of µ for the local conditions and lithology.
Once this feedback is available to us, the same program will be installed in the XL2K desktop software
and be available at the wellsite.
DETERMINATION OF Wcm:
We can write:
In case Vca is not available, but you know Wcw (weight of cable in water), we have:
These two formulas should allow you to calculate Wcm in any situation. Note that any other formula
(such as Wcm = depth * Wcw * 8.33 / Wm) are invalid and will give you erroneous results.

A potential problem has been discovered with trying to fish the DLLT
Cable Electrode. The problems associated with attempting to fish the
DLLT Cable Electrode by Cut & Thread are:
1. The 2-l/4" OD of part #3.36557 is to big to fit through a
2-l/8" through bore i.e. OEB 91/062 and this part remains
attached to the line after pulling out of the weak point.
2. The 2-l/4" OD part is to big to fit through restrictions
in pipe of 2-l/4" or smaller - recommend 2-l/2" pipe ID.
If the operating company wishes to run jars or heavy wall when
fishing, the ID of the drillpipe, heavywall, crossovers, and jars must
" or bigger. This will limit our ability to Cut & Thread.
be 2-l/2"
This problem has been discussed at length with engineering. It has
been determined that a complete redesign of the DLLT Cable Electrode
assembly would be necessary to eliminate these problems. At present
the DLLT Cable Electrode assembly is not scheduled for redesign due to
the success of the Rigid Bridle in eliminating all the problems
associated with the DLLT Cable Electrode.
The best solution is to convert over to the Rigid Bridle. If this is
not possible then Bowen will make the through bore on the Top Sub
(#A5149) any ID you specify. They will also make the C-Washer Adapter
(HEX) Bowen #15689 any OD you specify, at extra cost. It is suggested
that the ID of the through bore on the Top Sub be smaller then the OD
of the C-Washer Adapter in case the wireline is accidentally dropped
during fishing operations. Again, making the through bore and the
Adapter larger will restrict the pipe that can be used to Cut &I
Thread.

SUBJECT: Recommended Fishing Kit for 3-5/8" Computing Centers
All Engineers
DITS Tools
The part number for the recommended fishing kit was incorrect. The
correct number is C5148, not C5158.
We suggest that you may want to specify a 2-l/8" through bore on the
top sub instead of 2-l/2". If you are running the l-11/16" Bowen Cable
Guide Fishing Assembly for cut and thread operations, and you are
using the C-Washer Adapter (HEX) Bowen number 15689 the OD of the
Adapter is 2.309" new and will wear to approximately 2-l/4" the first
time you use it. If you order the top sub part number A5149 as a
" minimum through bore the cable can pass through the restriction
2-l/2"
in the event that it is dropped. If you specify a 2-l/8" through bore
the adapter should not pass through this and the wireline should be
recoverable. The top sub normal through bore is 2-11/16" but Bowen
says they can and will make it to whatever you specify.
The OD of' the Bridle Electrode on the W-Series Bridle should be 1.78".
With a 2-l/8"
" ID Through bore you will still pass over the electrode,
but I would recommend circulating to keep the through bore clean while
descending over the electrode as this is a tight fit. Watch the
circulation pressure carefully, because you will probably get a surge
when the flow becomes restricted by the electrode.

The recommended fishing kit for the 3-5/8" DITS tools is a Bowen
Series 150 overshot. The complete assembly part number is C5158 and
includes:
Items Included: Part Number:
1 Top Sub A5149
1 Bowl B5150
1 Packer B3219
1 Spiral Grapple B4410
1 Spiral Grapple Control B4411
1 Standard Guide A4412
Specify a 2-l/2"
" minimum through bore on the top sub, and a 3-l/2" IF
thread box connection.
The standard guide O.D. is 5" and is full strength.
The spiral grapple is 3-21/32" listed maximum catch.
You can order larger guides,, the part number is the same as the
standard guide (A4412), but you must specify the size. You cannot
order smaller guides.
You can also order smaller grapples, the part number is again the same
as the one supplied with the kit (B4410), just specify the size. You
will need to order a smaller packer to go with the smaller grapple,
but the spiral grapple control is universal and you will not need to
order another control. The grapple you order will have an overbite of
l/32" ( it will expand to take in l/32" over maximum catch size). The
grapple should also engage anything 3/32" under the maximum catch
size. Therefore, the 3-21/32" grapple should catch anything from 3-
9/16" to 3-11/16". So, for instance if you needed to fish the 2-3/4"
Hostile Environment Tools you could order a 2-13/16" grapple part
number B4410 to go with your kit, and a 2-13/16" packer for this
grapple. Bowen has made grapples as small as 2" for this kit.
It is also recommended that you order an extension sub so that you can
catch more than the 6" you will get with the standard assembly. The
extension sub goes above the bowl and below the top sub. You should
order an extension sub 24" or 36" long with an O.D. of 5" part number
A5149 (same as the top sub).

If you need to fish over a bridle specifying the 2-l/2" through bore
on the top sub will allow you to fish over the electrodes.
Looking up from the top sub will be a 3-l/2" IF box. If the drill pipe
in your area is usually 4-l/2"
" IF which is the usual standard you may
want to order a crossover sub , 3-l/2" IF pin to 4-l/2" IF box which
is Bowen part number 73717.

In reviewing the Tool Fishing Catalog and the Tool Technical Specification Catalog it is evident
that most of the tools physical strength characteristics are not included. The subject of tool
tension and compressions is a very touchy subject. It has been around for a number of years,
and has not been addressed to this point for several reasons including but not limited to issues
of liability.
The values that are listed in this OEB should be used sparingly and with great caution.
There are many factors which cannot be covered in a single document that can
contribute to these numbers being misused or to be considered misleading.
The values are a combination of actual pull tests and calculations and as such represent a
straight push or pull with no outside influences. The assumption must be made that these
numbers represent ultimate failure rather than the damage point of new tools at 70 degrees F
and 0 PSI.
WARNING
Any bending moment or other contribution such as tool angle, hole
angle, rate of descent or ascent, toolstring design, tool age and
condition, borehole size and condition, pressure and temperature, the
point at which the toolstring is stuck, etc. can influence the ultimate
yield or crush.
The worst case is a tool in a hole at 40 to 55 degrees deviation, especially if it is a large hole –
for instance 12-1/4”. Buckling will be a real concern in this case because the tool is being
pushed with forces in different angles. If the toolstring contains offset subs, knuckle joints, or
flex joints they will increase the chance of buckling.
The rate of descent or ascent is important - this is why there is a limit on the rates while tripping
in and out of the hole on TPL. Reference OEB 98/037. If the hole conditions are bad, be prudent
in determining a safe speed for traversing the hole, especially when the tools are not latched
and the DTD and RFD are not operational. The driller’s Martin Decker cannot reliably read
increments of less than 10,000 lbs..

These values are given without any safety factor. Our competitors usually build in a safety factor
on the numbers they present. These numbers should be used with this in mind. If the tools are
in tension (being pulled on) there is usually less bending. Because of this the tension numbers
can be approached with more confidence. When the tools are in compression (being pushed
on) the opposite is true, be careful because bending will be a problem. Use the compression
numbers with much less confidence. Also, hydrostatic pressure increases dry joint strength in
tension (dry joint – not pressure balanced) whereas hydrostatic pressure decreases the strength
of a dry joint in compression.
With these factors in mind, be extremely prudent in the use of these values. The values should
be used as guidelines only. Please read the comments following the numbers since they will
provide clues on past experience, etc..
The information provided is for DITS tools. It should be noted that the G-Series connection is
not good in tension and compression, this is the reason for requiring strengthening collars on
these tool joints during TPL operations. The G-series connection is however better in torque
than the DITS connection. The reason strengthening collars have been designed for the DITS
connections is because the DITS connection can only handle 600 ft/lbs of torque – equivalent to
someone bouncing on a large wrench (200 lbs man on a 3’ wrench). The limiting factor for the
DITS connection in torque is the locating pins shear strength.

**Note 1: The tool joint is contained in every DITS tool. Therefore the maximum rating that can
be given to any tool is the tool joint. Any tool which has a rating higher than this can be
assumed to have a rating equal to the tool joint rating. A number of the tools rated at 130,000
lbs for instance have a sonde which would be rated much higher than 130,000 however the
DITS joint is the limiting factor and the published number only shows this limit.
Note 2: Reference OEB 93/037. These tools should be up to date as per this OEB. Any tool not
up to date will possibly fail well below this rating. The flex portion should be 3-3/8” not 2-3/4”.
Also, the top of the serpentine flex should be held by a pin PN 707.30950 (brass colored) which
will break at 120,000 lbs.. At the bottom of the flex should be a pin PN 707.30949 (silver
colored) which will break at 80,000 lbs.. This design places the pullout at the bottom of the flex
so that the serpentine section never has to be fished.
Note 3: The MRIL-C and MRIL Prime should always be run with a swivel when run on TPL.
When fishing these tools do not rotate on the tools - the Field Engineer is required to be on the
rig floor while swallowing the tool.
Note 4: The RDT is designed to handle 200,000+ lbs in tension and compression and 1200 lb ft
in torque, however the tool will be limited by the DITS joint at the top of the tool to 130,000 in
tension and compression and 600 lb ft in torque.

Technology Bulletin Date: 05/14/99
CONCLUSION
The maximum recommended pull or push on most toolstrings in Toolpusher operations will be
10,000 lbs.. Work the toolstring up and down instead of utilizing more tension or compression.
When tripping in and out of the hole on TPL tell the driller to stop before 10,000 lbs is applied to
the tools.
HOSTILE TOOLS
The toolstring strengths for the Hostile tools have not been calculated for the most part. The
torque limit on the tool joint is only 300 lb ft, so be very careful when subjecting these tools to
torque. The practice that is being used at present is to limit the toolstring to 3000 lbs over for
maximum tension and compression. As in any toolstring the toolstring design will influence the
point at which the tools will fail, but it is possible that the Hostile quad combo could bend to
touch the wall at as little as 1000 lbs over in a large borehole.
NOTE: The hostile toolstring may buckle at as little as 5000 lbs over in certain situations.
Therefore stick to the 3000 lbs over limit when running these tools. The HFWS will
probably be the weakest tool in the string.

**NOTE 1: The tool joint is contained in every Hostile tool. Therefore the maximum rating that

assumed to have a rating equal to the tool joint rating.

* The torque limit on these subs will be determined by the API specs for the threads or tool
joints.
** Male pin is the weak point. The tensile strength of the tool joint is the cross sectional area at
the root of the thread 5/8” from the shoulder. Hence the male pin is the weak point. Drill pipe

It is recommended that these subs be inspected regularly for cracks or metal fatigue via die
penetrant, ultra sonic or magna flux. Serialize the subs after inspection and keep records.
It is not acceptable to perform machine work on these subs without using an API machine shop
with proper gauges and equipment. Do not attempt to build copy or change the existing design.
Note that if the proper SES is run it will not be the weak point in the drill string. The connections
are standard API connections and the sub design is such that the connection is the weak point.
This is not true of drill pipe since the connection is generally thicker and stronger than the pipe.
