Wireline Grabs

Wireline Operations - Slickline Tools


The Hunting Wire Grab is designed to retrieve a broken wireline during
fishing operations, after a split skirt wirefinder has been deployed to locate
and ball the upper end of the wire in the well bore.

The wire grab consists of a top sub complete with fishing neck and pin
connection and a body with two or three bendable prongs. Each prong has
several pointed barbs welded on the inner side to form hooks. The flexible
design allows the operator to bend the grab prong ends to suit the tubing ID
which helps to prevent the wire grab from bypassing the broken line.

The wire grab is deployed into the well attached to a fishing toolstring by means
of a dummy rope socket and pulling tool.

When ordering, please provide the following relevant information to ensure


correct grab is supplied.

1. Number of prongs required


2. Tubing - minimum I.D.
3. Connection type (Sucker Rod or Rope Socket)

The flexible design allows the operator to bend the


grab prong ends to suit the tubing ID which helps to
prevent the wire grab from bypassing the broken line.

HD grab available on request.
