Identifying the fish
• What is it?
• Where is it?
• What is looking up?
• How damaged is it?

• Only when you know the answers to these


questions can you devise a fishing attempt.

The Importance of the
“Tally Book”
• For every piece of equipment that goes in a
well, you should have:
– Diameter of every body, neck, shoulders, etc.
– Length of each section and the overall length.
– Thread type & if pin or box will look up at each
connection (many fish are unscrewed tools).
– Break strength of all weak joints or thin tools
– Drawing or photo of all unusual tools (place a rule
in the photo)

The Importance of the
“Tally Book”
• Keep the Tally book current – for every run, not
changes.
• Successful fishermen are planners and note takers –
before the fish is lost.
• Keep records of where the string drags (depth, over-
pull, changes in behavior)
• Compare depth readings with profile depths
• Record all fluid levels, tight spots, and fill tags.

The Importance of the
“Tally Book”
• When you loose a tool (and you will if you do
well work for long).
– Note behavior at the separation point
– Tag down gently to see if the fish is stuck or has
dropped (if there is a known tight spot, you may
not want to tag)
– Pull out of the well and carefully measure and
account for all the BHA that has returned, and…….

The Importance of the
“Tally Book”
• Check the recovered BHA and Compare the tools
recovered with initial BHA from the Tally Book.
– If the BHA is unscrewed, what is thread, and is pin or box
looking up? Shoulders or smooth body present?
– If BHA has broken:
• Does metal near the separation indicate fatigue or corrosion?
• Do drag marks indicate pipe collapse?
• Do one-sided marks or cuts hint at low side debris?
• Does debris on the recovered section suggest bridging?

The Importance of the
“Tally Book”
• If wire is recovered without the rope socket,
NEVER assume that the wire has pulled off at
the rope socket.

Tools for Examining the Fish
• Impression blocks (confusion blocks?)
– Flat bottom and tapered soft lead block.
– Set down just ONCE!
• Cameras
– Continuous surface readout on E-line
– Image capture (delayed updating) on E-line
– Slick line conveyed, recording cameras

Camera Selection
• The continuous surface readout allows running at
speed into a well (50 to 100 ft/min) – you can see
what is coming.
• Image update cameras (1 to 6 seconds screen
refresh) can only be run slowly if you don’t know
where the fish is – you could hit the fish and destroy
the down-looking camera if run too fast.
• Recording cameras, like the image update cameras,
require knowledge of exactly where the fish is
located.
• AND - water considerations……..

George E. King Engineering


8/25/2015 11
GEKEngineering.com
Water for Camera Use
• If water is used in the well for the camera run:
– You must be able to read a newspaper through a water
glass of the water that is to be pumped.
– Standard field brines are not suitable for camera use, even
when filtered.
– A small positive water injection may be needed to sweep
the wellbore during the camera run.
– If the well flows, the fluid in the wellbore will become
opaque quickly.
– Camera movement will stir up some sediments from the
pipe walls.

Release Options
• critical need - must be reliable!
• must be able to release
– CT limited in tension, especially in deviation
– CT jars do wear out

Engaging the Fish
• limited push with CT
• especially limited in deviated wells
• centralization of the fish
• milling improves engagement?
– how much?
• top dressing vs length milling

Other Problems
• Wireline!
– Removal vs mashing it down
– Condition of wireline - H2S

• Has wireline been parted or is it just stuck?


– Using CT with hook as a stiff leg to free wireline.

Fishing Tools with Control Lines
• RISK: The hydraulic control lines may form
a birds nest in the tubing or in the BOP.
On pulling the fish through the BOP, the
control lines may peel back and jam
between the BOP stack and fish.

George E. King Engineering


8/25/2015 40
GEKEngineering.com
Fishing Tools with Control Lines
• Initial Diagnosis: A tangle of cut and
broken hydraulic control lines is on top of
the tool.
• To avoid problems, a shroud was designed
as a full bore tool that would pass through
the BOP stack to centralize and contain
the control lines.

George E. King Engineering


8/25/2015 41
GEKEngineering.com
Fishing Tools with Control Lines
• The shroud leading edges scooped all the debris
inside the tool body and the tool landed out on a
debris gallery on the SSTT.
• The fish was then speared through the top of the
shroud. The fish and shroud were recovered
together. The shroud gave full containment of all
debris and no further junk was added to the
hole.

George E. King Engineering


8/25/2015 42

Deviated Wells
• hydraulic centralizers
• larger overshots
• motor addition to fishing BHA
– engagement potential increased?

Buckling/Lockup of CT
• Fcrit. = 2A((EIW sin O)/d)1/2
• where:
– A = const. 0.93 for steel
– E = young’s modulus, psi
– W = buoyed pipe wt lb/ft
– O = hole inclination
– d = radial clearance between tube and csg., in
– I = moment of inertia = 0.04909 (OD2-ID2)

CT Jar Types
• Mechanical
• Hydraulic

George E. King Engineering


8/25/2015 50
GEKEngineering.com
Jar Problems
• Drag and buckling effects lessen mechanical
jar effect
• Hydraulic jars less effective because of flex of
string (down-jar)

George E. King Engineering


8/25/2015 51
GEKEngineering.com
CT Jar Considerations
• Flow through capacity
• Placement in the fishing string
– above fishing tool when tool is releasable
– above hydraulic release on non releasing catch
tool
• Directional (change internal component to go
from up- to down jar)
• Use with accelerator and weight stem?

George E. King Engineering


8/25/2015 52

Spang Jars
• Don’t work wire line on shallow problems
where spangs can be across wellhead. May
damage valves and if stuck, cannot close
valve.

Fishing with CT
• Best use: Where stiff , continuous motion and
circulation are needed
• Improvements: larger CT, hydraulic jars, low-
speed, high-torque motors (limits on jar
action), larger injectors
• Catch tools for CT: Must take in to account the
shape of the CT top (may be flattened, bent
over, ovaled or necked down.

Best Practices
• First, run a gauge ring on slick line or CT that is
slightly larger than the CT.
• Consider what happens if you get onto the
fish and can’t move it - release mechanism?
• Fishing in large diameter hole or casing makes
it difficult to engage the fish.

George E. King Engineering


8/25/2015 62
GEKEngineering.com
Best Practices - Cutting CT
• If you have to cut CT when stuck, cut it in the
tubing - makes it much easier to fish.
• Cut the CT with a overshot “nipper” tool that
leaves a square shoulder - this allows entry
into the CT.

George E. King Engineering


8/25/2015 63
GEKEngineering.com
Deep Cuts of Stuck CT
• Cut at surface, go through CT with slickline
and chemical cutter
– cutter must be properly sized for CT
– CT needs to be in tension - free point?
• Don’t pull it in two with the injector if you can
avoid it.
– Severed edge is necked down
– Location of severed top is unpredictable

Special Case of Fishing with CT
• Recovery of 9200 ft of slickline from well in
Trinidad
– recovered in one piece
– recovered with CT

George E. King Engineering


8/25/2015 66
GEKEngineering.com
Slickline Recovery
• Slickline tool stuck at 9200 ft - slickline not parted!
• Used CT - parted wire at surface and threaded it
through bottom of the CT and out a side entry sub a
foot above CT bottom.
• Ran CT down the well until tool was encountered,
pushed it loose and reeled slickline back as CT pulled
out.

George E. King Engineering


8/25/2015 67

Unusual Considerations
• Large tool effects
– swab/surge
– clearances in profiles
– bending stresses and resistance
– wall drag (friction forces)

George E. King Engineering


8/25/2015 68
GEKEngineering.com
Friction Reduction
• Friction reducer additives can result in a 15%
to 17% drop in friction force.
• Use of an FR additive can drop total fraction as
much at 30% when used with a CT
straightener.
• Stiff, small BHA’s have been carried easier
through washout and tight spots.

George E. King Engineering


8/25/2015 69
GEKEngineering.com
CT Straightner
• Mechanical Device
– takes out residual bend in CT - lowers frictional
resistance
– stresses the pipe, fatigue
– use on the end 20 to 50 ft of CT where friction
needs to be cut
– use where CT must enter small diameter (close to
CT diameter) profiles

George E. King Engineering


8/25/2015 70
GEKEngineering.com
Friction Reducer Drawback
• Formation damage increased - most good
friction reducers are polyacrylamides - no
breaker!
• Some formations very susceptible to
formation damage by any polymers or
surfactants.

George E. King Engineering


8/25/2015 71
GEKEngineering.com
CT Motors
• Power increases almost exponentially with
motor size.
• Powering motors with straight nitrogen gas is
often difficult - not enough lubrication.
• Volatile oils hard on stator rubbers - use of
saturated nitriles helps performance.
• High temperature (400 to 500 F) motors are
available.

George E. King Engineering


8/25/2015 72
GEKEngineering.com
Motor Reliability
• Surface Test of Every Motor is HIGHLY
Recommended
– smaller motors - tighter clearances - tight bearing
packs
– many new motors won’t turn
– small motors are low power - 80 ft-lbs of torque?
– Surface test not an absolute guarantee of
downhole performance

George E. King Engineering


8/25/2015 73
GEKEngineering.com
Motor Stalling
• Small motors most susceptible - low torque
• Causes
– too much load on CT
– load applied too quickly - motion control on
injector
– aggressive bits?

George E. King Engineering


8/25/2015 74

Torsional Yield Strength
Ty = Sy(OD4 - (OD - 2 t wall-min)4)/105.86 OD

Where:
Ty = Torsional Yield Strength, lb-ft
t wall-min = thinnest wall, in
Sy = yield strength of the CT, psi
OD = CT OD

Torque
• Usually we don’t push the torque limit in
workovers
– need to rotate is limited
– smaller motors very limited in torque
• This changes in CT Drilling, especially with big
motors

Depth Effects
• Fishing can be difficult at increasing depth
since accelerators rely to some extent on
cable/coil tension/stretch for assistance.
• The best bet in this situation is to use two
accelerators with short stroke "upstroke" jars
(spring type) in conjunction with a heavy duty
fishing cable.

Oil Jars
• Weak part of wireline oil jars is the head to
rod connection. Breaks often leave the rod
sticking up. Compress rod back into the tool
and use overshot to seize the body of the
tool.

George E. King Engineering


8/25/2015 111
GEKEngineering.com
Braided Cable
• Braided cable doesn’t fatigue as much as
slickline, but has to be reheaded to prevent
breakage of individual strands in the rope
socket.
• Fishing with the braided cable – can’t
develop as much wire speed as with slickline
but can pull much harder. Use spangs and
oil jars.

Fishing – deviated wells
• Large fishing tool (overshot) problems in
passing the tools around the doglegs and
curves. Overshot tends to ride downward
and dig out the bottom of the curve.

Determining Free Point - part 1
• 1. Pull pipe into tension with at least 500 lb of
load over the hanging weight of tubing in the
hole.
• Make a visible reference mark on the pipe
• Increase pull on the pipe in increments of
1000 lb over original tubing weight.
• Measure amount of pipe stretch (delta L)

L = minimum length of free pipe
delta L = stretch, inches
CFPC = Free Point Constant (from table)
FD = pull force, 1000 lb

Free Point Example
• Determine the minimum length of free CT
when a 10,000 ft length of 1.25”, 0.087” wall
CT stretches 39 inches with an applied pull of
5000 lb over tubing weight.
• CFPC = 760 (table), FD = 5000/1000 = 5
L = delta L * CFPC / FD = 39*760/5
L = 5928 ft
