Wireline Hydrostatic Bailer

The PCE Hydrostatic Bailer is a wireline service tool used to clear the debris which has
settled on the top of the subsurface equipment, preventing the recovery of the equipment
by regular wireline operations. The Hydrostatic Bailer is specifically designed for use when
the debris cannot be removed from the well with a pump type bailer. (Sand Bailer)
The bailers upper portion consists of a chamber, sealed at atmosphere pressure, with a
relief plug at the upper end and a shear piston at the lower end. The piston is secured to its
housing with brass shear pins.
When debris has been reached, downward jarring will shear the pin securing the piston to
the housing. Well pressure will cause the piston to move rapidly upwards and the suction
created will draw debris into the tool.
