Project Description

Hydraulic Fishing Jar

The Wenzel Downhole Tools Hydraulic Jar (HJ) is a single acting jar designed primarily for fishing applications, jarring in the upward direction.   Hydraulically operated, with impact force controlled by the operator, the HJ is ideally suited for fishing, coring, milling or other downhole applications.

  • The HJ is hydraulically controlled and jars in the up direction, with impact force controlled by the operator.
  • Impact force is controlled by a metering device that ensures consistent delay times over the full range of operating temperatures.
  • A long splined mandrel ensures the jar is not affected by torsional forces.  These splines are sealed and lubricated to minimize friction and provide long wear life.
  • While this jar is designed to be rugged enough for drilling applications, it is intended for fishing, coring, and milling applications.
  • A free stroke of 4″ to 6″ (depending on tool size) provides an impact force to the stuck point several times higher than the overpull force applied to the jar.
  • Standard seals in the tool are effective to 250°F (120°C). The jar can be dressed with seals
    effective to 400°F (200°C) for hot hole environments, and 450°F (230°C) for extreme
    temperature environments. External sealing surfaces are tungsten carbide-coated to enhance
    wear and corrosion resistance.

Jarring Up

  • The Hydraulic Fishing/Drilling Jar should be run in the hole in the open position.
  • Tool is activated by applying upward pull from the closed position.
  • The amount of upward impact force can be changed by varying the amount of overpull applied at surface.  See the specification table for the maximum pull during delay.
  • When upward overpull has been applied, the jar will fire after a timed delay. The delay is reduced as upward force is increased.
  • After the jar strikes an upward blow, re-setting is quickly accomplished by lowering the drill string until the jar is in the closed position.
