Flow Release Slick Catch Overshot

Product Code: WBI PDS 0022

The Flow Release Slick Catch Overshot provides a method of engaging and recovering tubulars or other types of equipment with a slick outside diameter. The slick catch overshot can be released from the fish hydraulically and therefore offers an advantage over other commonly used non-releasable type overshots.

The tool can be engaged onto a fish by simply setting down minimal weight to overcome the spring force on the grapple. To release the tool from the fish simply set down weight on the BHA while circulating at a pre-determined flow rate through the tool. Flow through the tools adjustable orifice creates the back pressure required to move the latch grapple into the release position. The internal spring returns the grapple to the engaged position when flow through the tool is stopped. The tool can be functioned as many times as required.

The tools adjustable orifice is easily changed to adjust the activation flow rate and pressure to suit each application. Flow through the tool can also be used to wash debris from around the top of the fish prior to latching.

Features:

  • Hydraulic operation, no shear screws required.
  • Flow through capability.
  • Can be functioned multiple times.
  • High tensile strength for jarring operations.
  • Range of catch sizes for each tool.
