JARRING OPERATIONS
4
Definition of Jarring Jarring is the process of transferring stored energy (drill pipe stretch) in the drillstring to kinetic energy by releasing the detent in the Jar at a given overpull value When the jar trips the energy is released providing sudden impact
5
Definition of Detent A device (as a catch, dog, or spring-operated ball) for positioning and holding one mechanical part in relation to another so that the device can be released by force applied to one of the parts
6
Up Stroke Fishing Jars The two basic types of jars are mechanical and hydraulic These terms refer to the method of tripping the jar Hydraulic jars work by using a hydraulic fluid cushion to delay the tripping of the jar until the desired pull/stretch in the string is achieved
7
Hydraulic Jarring Operations
The time delay is provided by hydraulic fluid being forced through small jets slowing movement of the mandrel When the inner mandrel enters the large bore area, the oil is rapidly dumped allowing the jar to fire

Hydraulic Fishing Jar Operating Principles Hydraulic Fluid Restricted Flowpath Mandrel Restricted Movement Mandrel Free Movement Hydraulic Fluid Bypass
9
Up Stroke Fishing Jar Hydraulic jar firing delay is dependent on a combination of load and time Mechanical jars have a preset load that causes the jar to trip only when that push/pull load is achieved They are sensitive to load only and not time

23
Successful Use of Jars Applying the most appropriate jarring action quickly is key to freeing stuck pipe The calculations are uncomplicated, but in the heat of the problem, small calculations can appear complex Determine before hand the push/pull required to fire the jars in either direction Jarring should start in the opposite direction to that which got the string stuck
24
Reasons for Jar Failures
Incorrect weight applied to fire the jar Pump open force exceeds compression force at the jar Stuck above the jar Jar not cocked Drag to high to allow sufficient force to be applied Well path is such that compression cannot be applied Right hand torque is trapped in torque setable jars Not waiting long enough for jar to fire
25
Rules of Thumb for Drilling Jars
Avoid placing the jars below stabilizers, reamers, key seat wipers or other tools with a larger O.D. Leave 3 to 5 feet of kelly above bushings to provide slack off length to cock the jar Maintain jar fully in tension or compression Avoid using jars as cross over point: DC to jar to HWDP Run slowly through tight spots to avoid triggering Anytime the DNT or Hydraulic jar is above the rotary table, install mandrel clamp

29
Lubricated Bumper Sub Use a lubricated bumper sub instead of a mechanical bumper sub if pumping is anticipated More sealing elements, not as likely to wash out In hot holes, special high temperature seals may be ordered from the manufacturer

Fishing in Lateral Wells
38
Fishing in Lateral Wells
Generally, you can use the same attachment tools:overshots, spears, screw in sub etc. Success is determined by: Where to back-off Jar placement String design
39
Jarring in Lateral Wells
Most fishing in lateral wells will be in the jarring mode Before a jarring operation is started, a free point and back off must first be made After locating the free point, study the well plot checking for the true dog legs, then decide the depth to back off that offers the best chance of connecting to the fish
40
Freepoint in Lateral Wells
Rely on torque readings rather than stretch To take a torque reading, set the weight at slightly less than the neutral weight This tends to reduce hole drag around the curve while rotating to get a torque reading
41
Freepoint in Lateral Wells
Pipe sticking here while free pointing with stretch, appears jars not working below Fishing Jars Bumper Sub Stuck Point Avoid pulling pipe into the wall / free point with torque
42
Freepoint in Lateral Wells
Experience Counts Carefully work the torque down, one round at a time, using a long snub line, with a torque gauge Fire the shot on the run to prevent line creeping The process of getting a successful free point and back off could take several hours, so be patient
43
Freepoint in Lateral Wells
Do Not Be Discouraged When a string shot is fired, no effect may be felt at the surface Pull the WL out, to see if the shot fired Work pipe with torque until you get it backed off or determine it won’t You may have to fire another shot using a higher grains per foot shot
