required Description and operation
■ Available in various materials During installation, the A-slip lock
and attached flow control device are
made up to the appropriate A running
tool and lowered into the tubing using
standard slickline methods. When the
desired depth is reached, a rapid
upward pull on the slickline moves
the tapered body under the slips.
Upward jarring secures the slip lock
firmly against the tubing wall. Flowing
the well will energize the cup-type
seals against the tubing wall.
Before removing the A-slip lock,
pressure must be equalized across the
lock assembly. Downward jarring with
the appropriate J-series pulling tool
drives the tapered body from beneath
the slips. The A-slip lock can then be
slowly pulled from the well.

the slips to release and allows the tub-

Introduction
Specialized retrieving heads are used
to run and retrieve the OEJ and OP
expansion joints. While a blank over-
shot is furnished with the standard
expansion joint, it is only used for run-
ning. For retrieving, the blank over-
shot must be sheared, the tubing
string removed from the well, and a
retrieving head installed on the over-
shot member of the expansion joint.
A tubing string or work string con-
nected to a retrieving head can then

be run to retrieve the lower bottom-

be manufactured for a variety of
