1.0 General Description
The Sup-R-Jar tool is a double-acting hydraulic drilling jar capable of delivering a
heavy impact, when a bottom hole assembly becomes stuck. The Sup-R-Jar
Drilling Jar is designed with simplicity and quality in mind. The tool is simple to
build, easy to dress, and is extremely durable. Designed to operate as an integral
part of a drill string, it can withstand normal drilling conditions of torque, pump
pressure, temperatures up to 300°F and 450°F when equipped with its optional
high temperature seals. Because of the Sup-R-Jar Drilling Jar design, it is
temperature self-compensated. Thus, allowing the tool to be run in higher
operating temperatures and harsher environments for longer rotating time down-
hole. There is no need to “circulate” or “cool down” the Sup-R-Jar as its design
allows the Jar to maintain its temperature compensation at all times.

The Sup-R-Jar Drilling Jar can easily be racked as part of a stand of drill collars
because it is similar in length and diameter, and has compatible connections and
slip setting areas.

In the drilling mode, the jarring mechanism is not active and is not affected by
normal drilling conditions or torque.

1.1 Control of Sup-R-Jar Hydraulic Drilling Jar

By adjusting the amount of surface push or pull (no torque or external
adjustments are required) the operator can deliver impacts in either
direction, while controlling the number of impacts in any given time frame.
“Cocking” or resetting the Sup-R-Jar Drilling Jar is automatic. Once the
desired impact is delivered, simply raise or lower the string to allow the
proprietary metering mechanism to be reactivated.

The direction of impact is controlled, as shown in Figure 1-1.

If the drill string becomes stuck on bottom, the drilling jar can deliver
impact in an ‘up-only’ direction.

Section 1 General Description

- If the drill string becomes stuck off bottom, the drilling jar can deliver
impact in a ‘down-only’ direction.
- When differential sticking is encountered, and movement is needed to
regain rotation and circulation, the drilling jar will ‘up-jar’ and ‘down-jar’.

1.2 Sup-R-Jar Drilling Applications

The Sup-R-Jar can be used in straight hole, directional hole, fishing and
work-over operations.

1.3 Sup-R-Jar Advantages

- High overpull capability, long free stroke and high impact capability.
- Hydraulic timer is self-compensating for hole temperature resulting in
more consistent pull times. Jar has rugged V-packing for extended
service. Jar has high tensile strength for higher impact service
capability.
- Tapered end connections allow jar to transverse smaller hole radii as
well as reduce fatigue damage to the tool. “ZIP” lift or elevator lift
shoulders available on upper end of jar for ease of use.
- Splines are constantly engaged. No rotary slack to cause directional
drilling problems.
- Straight push and pull operation for easy jar operation.
- Large through bore for passage of instruments. Negligible pressure
drop through Jar. Redundant dynamic packing to prevent washouts
and provide long down-hole service.
- Massive over-pull failure results on internal detent mandrel collapse.
No parting of tool and no washout (Jar acts as a bumper sub).
- Packing is preloaded to prevent low pressure leakage and seal
compression set problems. Seals maintain sealing capability at any
pressure (including at zero pressure).
- All connections, shoulders and tensile/torque carrying parts are a
fatigue resistant design. Additionally, the parts are cold worked to
provide additional fatigue resistance (shot peened).
- Jar can be placed in the BHA per customer request using a Jar
placement program. The Mandrel down style reduces the “Junk
Basket” affect during drilling.
- The OD wall thickness is greater than comparable tools on the market,
thus reducing temperature affects during jarring operation.

 Section 2
2.0 Pre-Job Planning and Preparation

2.1 Jar Placement

The location of a drilling jar in the BHA relative to the lengths of the collars
or HWDP above and below the tools affects:

- The total amount of energy imparted at the stuck point

- The percentage of the energy that reaches the stuck point as impulse
energy or impact energy.
- The life of the drilling jar.
When the impact system tools are placed in a BHA the following questions
need to be considered.

- What mechanism is most likely to result in the drillstring becoming

stuck?
- Is the drilling jar to be run in “tension” or “compression”?
- Where is the neutral point in relation to the drilling jar when drilling?
- How does pump pressure affect the jarring action?
- Are BHA design and drilling parameters within the specifications of the
drilling jar design constraints?
- Is the wellbore interval of concern vertical, deviated, or horizontal?
- Are the drilling conditions downhole hostile, such as, high solids
content in mud or the presence of H2S?
- What is the maximum dogleg severity (DLS) that the tool can be used
in a particular application?
The drilling jar can be placed to optimize the energy released at the stuck
point as either impact energy or impulse energy. Understanding how the
drillstring is likely to become stuck either mechanically or differentially
would assist in placing the impact tools in the BHA and improve the
chances of freeing the drillstring in the event it becomes stuck.

Greater impulse energy would provide better results in a scenario where

the drill pipe has become “differentially stuck” because of a pressure
imbalance between the drilling fluid hydrostatic pressure and the formation
pressure. Greater impact energy would provide better results in a scenario
where the drill pipe is “mechanically stuck” due to wellbore geometry or
packing off.

Section 2 Pre-Job Planning and Preparation

A Jar placement program can be used to perform a complete analysis

prior to running Jar in the hole. The performance of jars that have been
placed properly in the drill-string and those that have been improperly
placed can be a factor of as much as 3 to 4 times.

The Jar Placement Program may be used to optimize placement of the

Sup-R-Jar tool within a given bottomhole assembly (BHA).The program
outputs the greater impact and impulse forces generated by the drilling Jar
in a given position. Comparison of results calculated by moving the drilling
Jar to different positions within the BHA would determine the optimum
placement.

Data Inputs Requirements for Jar Placement Program:

a) Hole description from surface to depth.

b) Bottom hole assembly configuration starting at the bit and
moving up a hole a section at a time until the drill pipe is
reached.
c) Miscellaneous data entry
- Mud weight
- Min. and Max. weight on bit
- Drill pipe weight per foot in air
- Distance (in feet) from bit to a likely sticking point
- Drilling jar size

2.2 Benefits of Using the Jar Placement Program

- Calculates the greatest impact and impulse for both up and down
jarring at the bit and at the drilling jar.
- Determines if the drilling jar is in compression or in tension at the
intended weight on bit.
- Calculates the neutral point of the drillstring using the drilling depth, the
well inclination, the string weight, the intended drilling weight on bit,
and the drilling fluid density.
- Determines if the drilling jar is too close to the neutral point.
- Allows quick comparison of the drilling jar in other positions, to easily
determine the optimum placement in the drillstring.
- Accurately calculates, in air and drilling fluid, the total hammer weight
and compression weight above the drilling jar and the total weight
below the drilling jar, accounting for wellbore inclination.

Section 2 Pre-Job Planning and Preparation

2.3 Best Practices Guidelines for Jar Placement

The following are some general guidelines to follow when placing a drilling
Jar or Accelerator tool in a bottomhole assembly (BHA). If followed, these
guidelines will lead to extended tool life and enhanced performance.
Failure to follow these guidelines may result in damages that shall be
deemed as abnormal wear and tear on the tool.

- Always place the Sup-R-Jar tool in the transition pipe (HWDP or DC),
that is located between the BHA and drill pipe, to reduce excessive
bending stresses. Where possible, placing the drilling jar between
HWDP is always recommended.
- Maintain 20% of bit weight between the Sup-R-Jar tool and the neutral
point to ensure that it is outside the neutral point transition zone.
- The Sup-R-Jar tool should be located a minimum of 90 feet away from
the top stabilizer in the BHA.
- The Sup-R-Jar tool should never be run as a crossover between the
drill collars and the HWDP or between the drill collars of different
outside diameters (OD) since high bending stresses may occur. Run
the same size drill collars or heavy weight drill pipe at least 90 feet
above and directly below the drilling jar.
- A minimum of three joints of DC or the equivalent weight of HWDP
should be used above the Sup-R-Jar tool at all times. This will ensure
there is a minimum hammer weight that can be used if it is necessary
to fire the drilling jar down.
- In order to minimize the risk of getting stuck above the Sup-R-Jar tool
the largest outer diameter of drill collars and or HWDP above the Sup-
R-Jar tool should be equal to, or slightly smaller than, the outer
diameter of the drilling jar.
- Never run a stabilizer or reamer above the Sup-R-Jar tool since this
can reduce the effectiveness of the Sup-R-Jar tool when jarring.
- Do not place stabilizers or other BHA components with a larger outside
diameter above the Sup-R-Jar tool.
- The number of drill collars used to design a BHA should not exceed
the amount of bit weight required plus a safety factor. Rotating
excessive drill collars in tension would result in significant lateral
vibrations. These vibrations can result in the Sup-R-Jar tool
undergoing high cyclic stress, which may initiate fatigue cracks. High
cyclic stress reduces the overall drilling life of the Sup-R-Jar tool.
- The OD of the Sup-R-Jar tool should be similar to the OD of the
bottomhole assembly. The Sup-R-Jar tool should be properly sized to
the size of tubulars (HWDP/DC) that is placed within and to the size of

6 of 33
Section 2 Pre-Job Planning and Preparation

the Wellbore that it is used in to ensure optimum performance and

avoid premature damage to the tool.
- Always place a minimum of 10% to 20% of the expected Sup-R-Jar
tool overpull as hammer weight above the drilling jar.
- Always be aware that the placement of the Sup-R-Jar tool needs to be
reconsidered when there is a change in drilling parameters.
- The tool should be changed out according to the change out
recommendations as outline in this manual in Table 4-3.
- Dropping the drill string and performing string shot or explosive back
off with the Sup-R-Jar tool is not recommended and can result in tool
damages.
- Corrosive acids should not be pumped down hole when the Sup-R-Jar
tool is in the string.
- The Sup-R-Jar tool have recommended maximum load rating which is
supplied in this manual. Exceeding these loads is not recommended.
- Exceeding recommended torque values will cause abnormal damage
and may result in swelling of connections.
- The Sup-R-Jar tool should never be used in an area where there is a
presence of hydrogen sulphide in concentrations that can cause
damage to the tool.
- It is not recommended operating the Sup-R-Jar /Accelerator tools with
torque in the string. This could reduce the tensile and torsional
designed maximum loads limits and result in tool damage. Trapped
torque is not recommended while operating these tools.
- If torque is present, then the published design loads limits do not apply
and Design Engineering should be consulted.

2.4 Placing the Sup-R-Jar tool in Tension

The Sup-R-Jar tool is generally run in tension, with adequate drill collars to
provide desired weight on bit (WOB) and to maintain the transition zone
below the drilling Jar. Weight on bit changes can be accommodated by
adding to or subtracting from the drill collars below the Sup-R-Jar tool,
always retaining sufficient weight above the Sup-R-Jar tool to provide an
effective hammer.

Running the Sup-R-Jar in tension depends on hole inclination and the

available bottomhole assembly weight. When you run the drilling jar in
tension:

- Neutral point is below the Jar

- Drilling jar remains “open” and cocked for down jarring while drilling

7 of 33
Section 2 Pre-Job Planning and Preparation

- No risk of premature firing of Jar when picking up off bottom

- Pump Open Force will help extend the drilling Jar open while drilling,
and does not affect the WOB
- Used in low angle wellbores where the bottomhole assembly below the
optimal Jar placement provides sufficient weight to drill.
Vertical and Shallow Wells
- Place Jar in “mechanical tension” at 20% of bit weight above the
neutral point
- Run Jar-Accelerator combination in shallow wells.
Hole Angle < 15°
- Place the Jar and any other tool with optional positioning “at 20% of
bit weight above neutral point”.
Hole Angle > 15°
- Jar can be place anywhere at 20% of bit weight above neutral point
- Run Jar-Accelerator combination if using high weight on bit and Jar
would be placed more than 500 ft from the bit.
- If the Jar is placed more than 500 ft from the bit, then a better
choice would be running Jar in compression closer to the bit. Apply
Section 4 rules.
- Run Jar-Accelerator combination when concerned interval angle is
higher than 45°.

2.4.1 Jar Tension Drilling Weight (JTDW)

The JTDW is generally 10% to 20% of the value selected for the
desired bit weight. Enough JTDW should be selected so that
subsequent variations in drilling bit weight will not permit the Sup-R-
Jar tool to set during the drilling operation.

2.4.2 Transition Zone

The transition zone can be calculated by dividing the corrected WOB
by the unit weight per length of drill collars (DC) or heavy weight drill
pipe (HWDP) used. To avoid damaging or prematurely setting the
Sup-R-Jar tool, do not place at or near the transition zone.
Transition zone in feet equals corrected WOB divided by DC wt/ft.
Transition zone in drill collars equals corrected WOB divided by
wt/30ft.
Example
Know factors: Corrected WOB = 70,300 lb
DC wt/ft = 147 lb/ft
DC wt/30ft = 4,410 lb
Transition Zone in Feet: 70,300 lb ÷ 147 lb/ft = 478 ft
Transition Zone in Drill Collars: 70,300 lb ÷ 4,410 lb = 16 DC

In the event that the Jar Placement Program is not available, use
the calculations below to place the Sup-R-Jar tool in the optimum
position within the drilling assembly, while maintaining the Desired
Weight on Bit.

Known Factors
Jar Size = 6-1/2" OD
Jar Maximum Detent Load = 185,000 lb
WOB – Desired Weight on Bit (buoyed) = 40,000 lb
JTDW – Jar Tension Drilling Weight (buoyed) = 8,000 lb
HWT – Hammer Weight (buoyed) = 18,500 lb
DC – Drill Collar in air- 6-1/2 x 2-1/2 (96 lb/ft) = 2,980 lb each
BF – Buoyancy Factor (13 lb/gal) (Table 4-4) = 1.25
AF – Hole Angle Factor (5 deg hole) (Table 4-5) = 1.0038
DJ – Drilling Jar Weight (in air) = 2,600 lb

For this example, use the Know Factors to calculate weight, length,
and quantity of drill collars to make up the drilling assembly, in air.

Hammer Weight (HWT) Above Drilling Jar

HWT (air) = HWT(buoy) x BF HWT (air) = 18,500 lb x 1.25 = 23,125 lb

Length of HWT = HWT(air)
WT of DC in lb/ft HWT Length = 23,125 lb ÷ 96 lb/ft = 241 ft
Qty of Drill Collars = HWT(air)
WT per 30 ft of DC Qty of DC = 23,125 lb ÷ 2,980 lb = 8 DC

Lower Drilling Assembly (LDA)

LDA (air) = (8,000 + 40,000) x 1.25 x 1.0038
LDA (air)= (JTDW(buoy) + WOB(buoy) ) x (BF) x (AF)
= 60,228 lb
Length of LDA = LDA (air)
WT of DC in lb/ft LDA Length = 60,228 lb ÷ 96 lb/ft = 627 ft
Qty of Drill Collars = LDA (air)
WT per 30 ft of DC Qty of DC = 60,228 lb ÷ 2,980 lb = 20 DC

Jar Tension Drilling Weight (JTDW)

JTDW (air) = (JTDW(buoy) )x (BF) x (AF) JTDW (air) = (8,000 ) x 1.25 x 1.0038 = 10,038 lb
Length of JTDW = JTDW (air)
WT of DC in lb/ft JTDW Length = 10,038 lb ÷ 96 lb/ft = 104 ft
Qty of Drill Collars = JTDW (air)

Section 2 Pre-Job Planning and Preparation

2.5 Placing the Sup-R-Jar tool in Compression

When drilling in highly deviated wells the Jar almost always has to be run
in compression due to the lack of bottom hole assembly weight. In high
angle holes it usually is not practical or possible to run a Jar in tension. To
run the Jar in tension would put the Jar so far up the hole that impacts
would be very low and ineffective.

Note: If running the Sup-R-Jar in compression, please check with a Sup-

R-Jar representative for your particular application.

Drilling with the Sup-R- Jar in compression depends on hole inclination

and the available bottomhole assembly weight

When running the Sup-R-Jar in compression:

- Neutral point is located above the Jar

- High Pump Open Force (POF) acting on the Sup-R-Jar is the first
aspect to consider. If not running enough compression weight above
the Jar the pump open force may produce an up jarring impact every
time the pumps are turn on. Proper care should be exercised when
tagging on bottom, making connections and when starting the pumps.
- When starting a jarring operation, the POF can act adversely or in
favour of the jarring action. Contact Sup-R-Jar representative for jar
placement optimization.
- Make sure that the Jar is below the neutral point. This will increase the
life of the Jar and prevent damage to the Jar due to the constant
changes between tension and compression. Put the Jar below the
neutral point by not less than 20% of whatever the weight on bit (WOB)
will be.
- Drag calculations help accurately determine the maximum hook load
for optimal over-pull force during jarring operations. The driller then has
a better chance of freeing stuck pipe on the first jarring attempt.
- The drag calculations for optimum jarring will be slightly different from
regular torque and drag calculations, because at the stuck point area
there is no movement of the drill string. Drill string movement is
necessary for calculating drag. For practical purposes, one may
assume that the drill string is moving above the stuck point. The over-
pull on the Jar can then be calculated with the given tension at the
stuck point. Assume several different tension forces at the stuck point
and calculate corresponding over-pulls on the Jar and hook load.
These values should be given to the driller for reference.

11 of 33
Section 2 Pre-Job Planning and Preparation

Hole Angles <5°

- Do not run Jar in compression in vertical wells or less than 5°.
Drilling with High Bit Weight in Hole Angles > 5° <15°
Run Jar in compression keeping it stable by this method:
- Determine Jar maximum buckling load and divide it by S.F.(1.15)
- If BL/SF > Max. Bit Wt., you may place Jar anywhere in
compression 20% of WOB below neutral point.
- If BL/SF< Max. Bit Wt, you need to use a formula to determine
minimum distance to place Jar off bottom.
Hole Angles > 15° <60°
- Check to make sure that Jar has higher buckling load than
maximum bit weight needed in rotary drilling mode. If so, the Jar
can be placed anywhere in compression 20% of WOB below
neutral point.
- You could also use the following rule of thumb: A maximum of
10,000 lbs. above the Jar could be used for weight on bit. For each
additional 10 degrees of inclination another 5,000 lbs. is allowed.
- Run Jar with Accelerator when concerned interval angle is higher
than 45° or when Jar is placed more than 500 ft from bit.
- In high inclination wells, when neutral point is far from the bit, run
Jar-Accelerator combination in compression after BHA.
High Angle Wells >60°
- The Jar almost always has to be run in compression due to the lack
of bottom hole assembly weight.
- In high angle wells, run Jar in compression and choose Jar -
Accelerator combination run in compression after BHA.
Horizontal Wells
- Run Jar -Accelerator combination either in the lateral section or
above the curve. However, it is more recommended to run it above
the curve.
- Place Jar-Accelerator combination in compression in the lateral
section after BHA or above potential sticking zone.
- Place Jar-Accelerator combination in the curve where the hole
angle is less than 30° and the DLS is less than 10°/100ft.
Extended Reach Wells

- Run Jar with Accelerator in compression after BHA or above

potential sticking zone.

3.0 Operating Procedure
The Sup-R-Jar can be run in tension or compression. When in tension the Jar
should be run above the weight transition zone.

The hydraulic Jar utilizes an oil reservoir with some type of metering groove.
When the string becomes stuck, overpull is applied. As the force is applied oil is
compressed in the reservoir and is forced to bleed off slowly through the
metering groove. This allows time for the drill string to establish the strain energy
required for the jarring effect. When the piston comes off the restricted area, the
oil bleeds off almost instantly. The hammer then speeds toward the anvil,
impacting and transferring the drill strings stored energy to the stuck point.

3.1 Operating the Sup-R-Jar Run in Tension

The Sup-R-Jar is a double acting tool. The Sup-R-Jar is delivered to
location in the OPEN position (approximately 29 inches of mandrel
exposed) and usually will be open when it is pulled out of the hole.

3.1.1 Up Jarring Operation-Jar Run in Tension

- When running the Jar in tension during a drilling operation, the
Jar remains open.
- If the string gets stuck you have to cock the Jar and fire
opposite to the direction the string was moving before getting
stuck.
- If you have decided to jar-up, then you need to establish the Jar
load.
Jar Load “Up” Example
Total indicator weight 260,000 lb

Bottom hole assembly below the Jar -40,000 lb

Weight of string above the Jar 220,000 lb
Over Pull (Detent Load) +96,000 lb
316,000 lb
Hole drag picking up +20,000 lb
Indicator reading to trip Jar Up 336,000 lb

Note: Probably will have to slack off to 200,000 or 220,000 to

cock or engage the Jar positive resistance for another
upward blow.
15 of 33
Section 3 Operating Procedure

- Cock the Jar without the pumps. Slack off approximately 10,000
lbs at the Jar until it offers a positive resistance on the setting
stroke.
- There usually will be a noticeable sign such as a bobble on the
weight indicator needle when positive resistance is reached. At
this point Jar is cocked to jar-up or jar-down.
- Apply Jar overpull (detent load) with maximum circulation rate if
available and then wait for the Jar to impact. Strain is taken on
the drill string and sufficient time allowed for the Sup-R-Jar to
trip. This will generally be between half to one minute for the
first blow.
- It is recommended that the initial pull load of 30% to 50% of the
maximum detent load be used so that the operator can see the
effects of the jarring action before increasing the jarring load.
- Successive blows are entirely at the control of the rig operator
and can be controlled with regard to frequency and intensity. No
waiting period is required to reset the Jar. The Jar will offer a
positive resistance on the resetting stroke.
- The frequency is regulated by noting and marking the pipe or
kelly at the point where they were last closed. If increased Jar
frequency is desired, the point of closure is controlled from the
last mark on the kelly.
3.1.2 Down Jarring Operation- Jar Run in Tension
- When running the Jar in tension during a drilling operation, the
Jar remains open.
- If the string gets stuck you have to cock the Jar and fire
opposite to the direction the string was moving before getting
stuck. If you decided to jar-down, then you need to establish the
Jar load
Jar Load “Down” Example
Total indicator weight 260,000lb
Bottom hole assembly below the Jar -40,000 lb
Weight of string above the Jar 220,000 lb
Jar setting for downward blow -38,000 lb
180,000 lb
Hole drag -20,000 lb
Indicator reading to trip jar down 162,000 lb
Note: Probably need to pick up to 230,000 to 250,000 to re-
cock Jar.

16 of 33
Section 3 Operating Procedure

- The down stroke to reach positive resistance is not as

noticeable in most cases as the up stroke of the Jar. In many
cases, particularly in deep holes and with small Jars, the down
tripping can be detected by the weight indicator when positive
resistance is reached.
- Also, Pump pressure affects the downward Jar motion.
ALWAYS shut down pumps before attempting to jar down.
- Slack off string until positive resistance is reached
(approximately 10,000 lbs) then continue slacking off the
recommended load to jar down. Impact will occur around half to
one minute for the first blow.
- Pick drill string up until slightly above weight of drill string above
the Jar is reached. Free travel will be noticed and also a slight
bobble on weight indicator when positive resistance is reached.
- Slack off recommended jar load and jar down again.
- Successive blows are entirely at the control of the rig operator
and can be controlled with regard to frequency and intensity.
- No waiting period is required to reset the Jar. The Jar will offer a
positive resistance on the resetting stroke.
3.1.3 Increasing Effectiveness

- Using the Mud Pump:

Pump pressure does not appreciably affect up-jar impacts, but
decreases down-jar impacts. Therefore, the pump should be
shut down or slowed before down-jarring operations begin.

- Using Drill Collar Weights

Adequate weight just above the tool provides optimum impact
for down jarring. This also decreases the possibility of buckling
damage to the drillstring.

3.2 Running the Sup-R-Jar Drilling Jar in Compression

The Sup-R-Jar tool can be run in compression. When running in
compression adequate drill collars should be placed below and above the
tool to accommodate the desired WOB and maintain the transition zone
above the jar

3.2.1 Up Jarring Operation- Jar Run in Compression

- When going in the hole, the Jar will be extended (opened
position); therefore, it is necessary to follow this procedure in
order to avoid a jar-down, as the tool is closed.

17 of 33
Section 3 Operating Procedure

- High Pump Open Force (POF) acting on the Sup-R-Jar is the

first aspect to consider. If not running enough compression
weight above the Jar the pump open force may produce an up
jarring impact every time the pumps are turn on. Proper care
should be exercised when tagging on bottom, making
connections and when starting the pumps
- If the POF created is bigger than the compression weight above
the Jar:
- Jar will be kept open when tagging the bottom and during
drilling.
- Apply desired WOB and continue normal drilling operation.
- Keep the pumps on when picking up the string to make a
connection and avoid a down jarring impact
- If the POF created is less than the compression weight above
the Jar:
- Jar could close when tagging bottom and fire downwards.
- To prevent Jar from jarring, slowly lower the drill string to
touch bottom and begin rotation.
- Gradually apply small increments (2,000 to 4,000 pounds) of
WOB. This process should be similar to breaking in a new
drill bit.
- After a period of 1 to 3 minutes, the Jar should close
completely without creating a Jar impact.
- At this point, desired WOB can be applied and normal drilling
operations continued without any concerns of the jar firing
until coming off bottom
- When picking off bottom for a connection or tripping out of
the hole, special care needs to be followed in order to avoid
a jar-up.
- Pick up 10,000 lbs above the string weight to take the Jar
through detent and avoid up jarring. This process will take
from 1 to 3 minutes
- Normal connection or tripping procedures can be followed at
this point. When going back to bottom to begin drilling
operations, the same procedures should be followed as in
the first step.
- If you have decided to jar up and the Jar is open:
- Cock the Jar without the pumps.
- Slack off around 10,000 lbs at the Jar until it offers a positive
resistance on the setting stroke.
- Apply overpull (detent load) with maximum circulation rate
and then wait for the Jar to impact. This will generally be
between half to one minute for the first blow.

18 of 33
Section 3 Operating Procedure

- Successive blows are entirely at the control of the rig

operator.
- No waiting period is required to reset the Jar. The Jar will
offer a positive resistance on the resetting stroke.
- The frequency is regulated by noting and marking the pipe or
kelly at the point where they were last closed.
- To repeat the operation, cock the Jar without the pumps.
- Slack off 10,000 lbs to close (cock) the Jar and immediately
apply the up-jar load to for up jarring.
- If you have decided to jar up and the Jar is closed:
- Pick up around 10,000 lbs over the string weight above Jar
until it offers a positive resistance on the setting stroke.
- Continue applying Jar overpull (detent load) with maximum
circulation rate if available and then wait for the Jar to
impact. This will generally be between half to one minute for
the first blow.
- To repeat the operation, cock the Jar by slacking off 10,000
lbs to close (cock) the Jar and immediately apply the
previous Jar overpull.
3.2.2 Down-Jarring Operation
- If you have decided to jar down and the Jar is open:
- Jar down without the pumps. Pump pressure affects the
downward Jar motion. ALWAYS shut down pumps before
attempting to jar down
- Apply down detent load and wait for the Jar to impact. This
will generally be between half to one minute for the first
blow.
- Successive blows are entirely at the control of the rig
operator.
- No waiting period is required to reset the Jar.
- To repeat the operation, pick up 10,000 lbs to open (cock)
Jar.
- When observing the positive resistance on the resetting
stroke immediately apply the down-jar load for down jarring
- If you have decided to jar down and the Jar is closed:
- Cock the Jar by pick up around 10,000 lbs over the string
weight above Jar until it offers a positive resistance on the
setting stroke
- Apply down detent load and wait for the Jar to impact. This
will generally be between half to one minute for the first
blow.

19 of 33
Section 3 Operating Procedure

- To repeat the operation, cock the Jar by picking up 10,000

lbs to open the Jar until it offers a positive resistance and
immediately apply the down-jar load.

3.3 Pump Open Force

The Pump Open Force (POF), sometimes referred to as the Jar extension
force, is the force created by the circulating pressure acting on the
exposed cross-sectional area of the lower mandrel of the drilling jar, see
equation below. POF = cross-sectional area of lower mandrel x Circulating
Pressure at lower mandrel

The POF for a particular tool size can be determined using the differential
pressure at the drilling jar, see Figure 3-1. If the value of the differential
pressures at the drilling jar is not known, the differential pressure across
the bit may be used as an approximate value. If a drilling jar is in tension,
the POF will help keep the tool extended while drilling. If the drilling jar is
in compression but the POF is greater than the compression weight
applied on the drilling jar, the drilling jar may stay extended while drilling.

If circulating while jarring, the POF will intensify the up-jar blow. However,
the POF will dampen the down-jar blow. It is recommended, that
circulation is stopped or slowed down and trapped pressure bled off,
before attempting to jar down.
