Hydra-Jar AP

Total impact control for operational flexibility

Complete directional control of impact force
The Hydra-Jar AP double-acting hydraulic drilling jar
amplifies the force applied at surface in order to free
stuck drillstring components during drilling or work-
over operations. It also offers the driller an impor-
tant control option: to jar up, or down, with a force
ranging from a light blow to an extra-heavy impact.

Applications
■■ drilling or workover operations
■■ HPHT drilling conditions

In most applications, the tool should be run in conjunction with the Accelerator AP* impact
tool to increase impact while protecting the drillstring and surface equipment from shock.

Rugged durability ensures performance

The Hydra-Jar AP* is balanced to hydrostatic pressure through ports open to the wellbore,
ensuring consistent hitting performance regardless of changes in downhole pressure. This
consistent hitting performance is further ensured by the jar’s detent system: it provides
more consistent loading and firing of the jar over a broad range of borehole temperatures.

The jar’s unique metering process compensates for the decrease in detent cylinder oil
viscosity as the jar is fired repeatedly, ensuring consistent impact regardless of downhole
conditions.

And, the Hydra-Jar AP jar’s highly durable seals make it the best choice for high-pressure,
high-temperature (HPHT) drilling conditions. These features—combined with careful mate-
rials selection and field-proven engineering—deliver a uniquely rugged, reliable downhole
impact system.

Flexibility for all drilling environments

The Hydra-Jar AP drilling jar performs effectively in every drilling environment—land or
offshore, vertical or deviated wells, and ultradeep or ultrahot boreholes. Because the
system works without applied torque, directional drilling tools maintain their orientation
throughout the jarring operation. The jar may be run in compression or tension, enabling
optimized placement in the drillstring.
 Effective and efficient for operational viability
The Hydra-Jar AP jar’s fullbore design minimizes pressure losses and provides wireline
tool compatibility. The jar makes up, racks, and handles like a standard-length drillpipe,
reducing trip time. It provides up, down, or up-and-down impact without torquing or tripping
for adjustments. And, the Hydra-Jar AP jar expands options for drilling, coring, cementing,
testing, fishing, workover, and remedial operations.
