Top Sub & Catch Mandrel

Figure (3) shows the catch position after a
connection failure. There are two basic modes
of connection failure: connection breakage
and connection back-off. The catch behaves
differently under each condition. If an exter-
nal motor connection is severed, with motor
on-bottom, a sudden loss of pressure occurs.
Picking the motor off-bottom will seat the catch
resulting in off-bottom pressure increase. The
increase in pressure can range from a few
hundred psi to several hundred psi, depend-
ing on the flow rate and mud properties. As
soon as the motor is set on bottom, the catch
will unseat itself and relief the pressure. This
pressure fluctuation is indicative of a possible
connection failure.
