slickline overshot brands

Hunting manufactures a full range of slickline downhole tools that include rope sockets, stems, jars, running and pulling tools. Basic tool string components are manufacturing to highest quality standards while running and pulling tools are manufactured to the original designs as per OEM agreements with major service companies.

The Hunting Releasable Overshot is designed to engage tools that have damaged or have no fish necks. The Overshot is designed to withstand high impacts associated with fishing operations.

Hunting Releasable Overshots are available in all common industry toolstring sizes and are manufactured with either sucker rod or integral quick connections as per customer requirements

Overshots are a key component of wireline coring systems. To retrieve the core sample, the overshot is lowered into the hole on a wire cable until it comes in contact with the spearhead point on the head assembly. Positive latching lifting dogs securely attach, and the inner tube assembly is pulled from the hole to retrieve the core. V-lock Overshots Hole Products" V-lock overshots are safe, reliable, fast, and easy to use. The automatic safety feature is designed to reduce the chance of an accidental release. When the inner tube assembly is attached and lifted, the lifting dogs automatically retract into position. No extra manual steps are required to activate the safety feature, thus reducing the potential for human error. Standard Overshots Hole Products" standard overshots feature a manual safety lock pin. Once the core filled inner tube is hoisted above the top of the drill rods the safety lock pin can be inserted through the overshot head and under the spearhead point. This will allow the operator to hoist and remove the core sample from the inner tube.

The Wireline Releasable Overshot is a slip type overshot used to retrieve a fish lost in the well bore that does not have a conventional fishing neck.

Once latched onto a fish the overshot can be released by jarring downwards provided the overshot has a solid footing upon which the core can be driven against.

The Wireline Releasable Overshot is composed of the top sub, cylinder, nut, main spring, mandrel, auxiliary spring, adapter sleeve, slips etc., simple structure,easy to use.

The overshot is “planted” onto the fish to provide a new fish neck profile. This is then engaged with a standard releasable pulling tool or a Peak HD FRC pulling tool for heavy jarring applications.

Overshot is a necessary device in wireline drilling. It"s dropped on a cable and directly couples onto and lift up the inner tube assembly, eliminating the need to couple and uncouple the rod string each time the core is retrieved.

Ezy Lock Overshot is a modified product based on compact overshot. It protects against accidental release of the core barrel. This is ideal for suface application when hoisting above ground.

Overshot is a key component of wire-line coring systems. To retrieve the core sample, the overshot is lowered into the hole on a wire cable until it comes in contact with the spearhead point on the head assembly. Positive latching lifting dogs securely attach, and the inner tube assembly is pulled from the hole to retrieve the core.

Since Boart Longyear introduced the Q™ Wireline system in 1966, retrieving the inner tube from the core barrel has been handled the same way: an overshot with lifting dogs (spring loaded hooked “fingers”) is lowered or pumped into the hole until it snaps over a pivoting spearhead mechanism affixed to the inner tube assembly. Once the head assembly has been removed from the hole, the driller uses the pivoting spearhead to position the head assembly on their workspace and squeezes the back of the lifting dogs to release.

Inner Tube Handling: When hoisting the inner tube assembly, elastic action of the wireline cable or accidental impact during handling can un-load cable tension and overcome spring loads which allows the hooked lifting dogs to accidentally release the spearhead. The surface ‘Ezy-Lock™’ overshot includes a twist-sleeve that locks onto the spearhead even without cable tension, whereas competing overshots require cable tension to maintain a lock.

Boart Longyear currently provides a secondary safety pin that clips through the overshot, passing just under the spearhead tip. This adds an extra layer of protection in case the lifting dogs are excessively worn or deformed. However, spearheads are loaded cyclically and often loaded ‘off-pivot’, which deforms the components over time, to the point of disassembly. While the more recent MKII™ version of the spearhead assembly is much more robust, in the case of spearhead failure, the head assembly will release from the overshot regardless of lifting dog or safety pin use or condition.

This patent-pending overshot leverages our previous experience with Roller Latch™ head assemblies to create a more reliable and longer lasting system that eliminates spearheads and lifting dogs entirely. The spearhead assembly is replaced by a one-piece socket receptacle (spearhead adapter) that accepts the overshot itself, which has rollers that latch into an internal groove in the spearhead adapter.

The increased toughness and hardness of the bearing quality latch rollers have a proven history of outlasting traditional pivoting latches for wear life. The new overshot will also feature the same Nitreg™-ONC surface treatment as Roller Latch head assemblies that drastically improves corrosion resistance (Nitreg is a trademark of Nitrex Inc.).

Safety pin integration in the new underground Quick Pump-In™ overshot now pulls double duty of both locking the overshot from accidentally releasing while hoisting, as well as holding the head assembly and overshot together in case of component failure due to excessive wear. Also, the socket and rollers are not affected by side loading and ‘off-pivot’ loading during tube handling outside the hole, eliminating gradual deformation or disassembly. The new surface overshot will also include a one-hand twist-lock sleeve to maintain a locked position while hoisting outside the hole, even with a loss of wireline cable tension.

It’s also easy to use.  Instead of pushing the backs of the lifting dogs together, the driller pushes the two halves of the assembly together, retracting the rollers and releasing the head assembly. This operation takes about the same amount of force as the current overshot, so drillers won’t miss a beat.

Additional benefits have been included[CA1]  apart from the elimination of the spearhead and lifting dogs. While the current design uses a solid pivot pin that is peened into place (making it difficult to re-build), the Roller Latch Overshot has no pins whatsoever. Everything is held in place by simple threaded connections for easy maintenance.

The Roller Latch Overshot features a brand new pump-in cable release system, originally conceptualized and prototyped by one of our expert underground drillers in Canada. A slotted sleeve and pumping seal assembly is placed over the wireline and pumped up to the overshot. The sleeve engages a quick-release mechanism and releases the wireline. This system has proven to be much more reliable, and may be the feature drillers are most thrilled to have going forward.  Reports of fewer broken wirelines have been received from several sites testing the pump-in cable release system.

To combat this and make Q/P Roller Latch easier to use while maintaining its safety features, a ‘brake release spring’ was created. This spring assembles quickly inside of the spearhead adapter on the head assembly. While tripping on its own, the head assembly brake works normally, but when the overshot latches into it this spring is compressed, disengaging the brake. This feature has also been received very positively by drillers in the field.

A surface-style overshot is also in development in B/N/H sizes. In addition to many of the features outlined in this article, the aim is to add more innovations, including:

• An improved lock sleeve to disable accidental head assembly release and stop drillers from accidentally sending the overshot down the hole while locked.

Wireline Operations - New ToolsThe Hunting Heavy Duty Releasable Overshot is designed to engagetools that have damaged or no fishing necks. Designed to withstand highimpacts that are associated with fishing operations the Hunting Overshotis one of the most robust designs on the market today.

If a device cannot be recovered from the well bore, jarring down will shear therelease pin of the Overshot allowing the tool to move to the release position.
