Drilling Jar Placement Program
The effectiveness of jarring depends not only on the jar
design, but also on:
• Placement of the jar in the drillstring
• Drillstring design
• Hole conditions
The difference in jar performance between proper and
improper placement can be a factor of as much as 3 to 4.
Because the analysis of the mechanics of jarring is com-
plex, a computer program is needed to precisely determine
optimum jar placement.
The Importance of the Stress Wave Theory
The energy for jarring comes from the spring effect of the
drillstring when it is either stretched or compressed. When
the jar trips, the sudden release of energy does not instan-
taneously go to the stuck point. Rather, the energy is trans-
mitted by stress waves which travel at the speed of sound
in metal. This energy transmission is further complicated by
the following:
• Stress waves are partially transmitted and partially
reflected at any change in drillstring crosssection
• Friction between the drillstring and hole acts to dissipate
the stress wave’s energy
• Sometimes moving the jar only a joint up or down in the
drillstring can drastically change how the stress waves
add together to create jarring force on the stuck point.
The Impact Impulse Factor
To be effective, the jarring force (impact load) must exceed
the sticking force. How far the stuck object moves depends
on the duration of the impact load. The combined effect
of impact load and duration is called impulse. Optimum jar
placement occurs with the largest impulse for an impact
load greater than the sticking force.

 Drilling Jars

Griffith Double-Acting Hydraulic/

Mechanical Drilling Jars
This jar combines the latch with hydraulic
delay in both directions. All features of the
Hydraulic/Mechanical Drilling Jar are available
with this tool, and operation of the tool is
similar, but the hydraulic jar down requires a
slight change of procedure.
To jar downward, apply a compression load
to the jar in excess of the down-latch setting.
This will release the mechanical latch and
initiate the hydraulic delay sequence. Follow-
ing the delay period, the jar will release,
causing a downward jarring impact. Raising
the drill string will re-engage the mechanical
latch ready for further jarring, or to resume
normal drilling as required.
Features
• Will not fire unexpectedly while drilling,
tripping, making connections, or tagging
bottom.
• No safety clamp or special handling
procedures required on the rig floor.
• Less restricted jar placement in the BHA.
The jar can be placed in tension, neutral
or compression.
• Ideal for use in compression as there is
no need to wait for “bleed through” when
tagging or picking up off bottom.
• Ideal for use in directional or extended reach
horizontal wells, the jar can be run in the
lower BHA in compression or in the upper
BHA in tension.
• No special tripping or drilling procedures
required.
• Linear latch not affected by torque. Ideal for
use in high friction, directional and extended
reach horizontal wells.
• Simple up and down motion to operate.
• Adjustable latch release settings.
• Mechanical latch prevents wear of the tool
during drilling operations.
• Hydraulic delay up and down jarring allows
the operator to vary jarring force downhole.
• Allows drawworks brake to be applied to
protect hoisting equipment.
• Special metering devices maintain relatively
constant delay timing even after prolonged
jarring.
• Fully sealed and oil bath lubricated for
longer service life and less wear.
• Available dressed for 300˚F or 500˚F
bottom hole temperatures.

Griffith Hydraulic/Mechanical
Drilling Jars
This drilling jar is well suited for virtually all
drilling operations. The jar was developed to
overcome the usual shortcomings associated
with purely hydraulic or mechanical jars, yet
retain the advantages of both concepts. This
jar combines our mechanical “safety” latch
with a hydraulic delay sequence on the up
jarring stroke. The down jarring stroke is
achieved mechanically. To jar upward, overpull
is applied to the drill string until the preset
mechanical latch setting is overcome and the
jar enters the hydraulic delay sequence. The
desired overpull above free string weight is
then taken as the jar continues to slowly open
under hydraulic restriction (delay) with the
drawworks brake applied. After the hydraulic
delay, the jar enters the free stroke and the
mandrel accelerates to the fully extended
position creating a jarring impact. Simply
lowering the drill string resets the latch. The jar
is then ready for another jarring cycle or to
resume normal drilling operations.
To jar down, the drill string is lowered until the
compressive force applied to the jar exceeds
the preset mechanical latch setting. The latch
releases allowing the mandrel to accelerate to
the fully closed position creating a downward
jarring impact. Raising the drill string until free
movement stops indicates the latch has reset.
The jar is ready for another jarring cycle or to
resume normal drilling operations.
Features
• Will not fire unexpectedly while drilling,
tripping, making connections, or tagging
bottom.

procedures required on the rig floor.

Griffith Drilling Jars
All Griffith Drilling Jars (with the exception
of slimhole 31/2” O.D. and smaller) feature our
mechanical “safety” latch mechanism. The
mechanical latch firmly holds the mandrel in
the neutral position in relation to the jar body,
preventing any unexpected jarring while mak-
ing connections, tripping in or out of hole, or
when tagging bottom. The latch is preset to
release when either a tensile or compressive
force is applied to the jar which exceeds the
forces seen during normal drilling operations.
The latch release settings can be adjusted at
the service facility to expand the range of jar
placement possibilities within the drill string.
The latch mechanism allows the jar to run in
the drilling string in tension or compression
or at the neutral point within the range of the
preset release settings. National Oilwell manu-
factures three types of Griffith Drilling Jars:
the Hydraulic/Mechanical, the Double-Acting
Hydraulic/Mechanical and the Mechanical, all
of which include the mechanical “safety” latch
mechanism.
Griffith Mechanical Jar
The jar offers mechanical jarring in both
directions. Latch release settings are variable.
The jar is popular in higher temperature
operations and in remote areas where fully
equipped service and repair facilities may be
unavailable.

 Drilling Jars / Cushion Subs

Bowen Hydromechanical Bowen Cushion Subs

Drilling Jars
SOLD EXPORT ONLY
The Bowen Hydromechanical Drilling Jar
is a versatile tool specifically engineered to
withstand the rugged abuse and demanding
applications a drilling jar must endure. The
tool consists of two independent sections.
The upper section is a hydraulically operated
jar designed to deliver a heavy upward jar-
ring blow. The lower section is a mechanically
operated unit designed to deliver a heavy
downward jarring blow. The Bowen Hydrome-
chanical Drilling Jar does not compromise
between good up-blow design and good
down-blow design.
The Bowen Hydromechanical Drilling Jar may
be run in the string connected to form a single
unit or may be separated into two sections
to be installed at two different locations in the
string. The two section design makes it easy
to transport and handle. All of its working parts
are sealed in oil to keep wear at a minimum
and to prevent well fluid or contaminating ma-
terial from entering its working mechanisms.
The patented Bowen Cushion Sub provides
for the highest drilling penetration rate by vir-
tually eliminating the variable dynamic loading
conditions on the bit.
The extremely long stroke, combined with a
very low spring rate, provides a soft impact
absorption system that greatly extends the life
of the bit and of the drill collar.
This drilling string shock absorber should be
located as close above the bit as possible to
best absorb pounding forces with least varia-
tion in bit load.
The Bowen Cushion Sub adjusts automatically
to any desired bit weight within its working
range.
• The low spring rate allows energy absorp-
tion at a nearly constant rate without high
load buildup on the bit. Nearly all the energy
is absorbed by the Cushion Sub and very
little is transferred into the drill string.
• Its short length gives it stiff column charac-
teristics to withstand large bit loads. Its long
stroke offers excellent operation at both high
and low bit loads.
• The automatic dampening characteristic of
the fluid prevents vibration resonance at any
rotation speed.
• Simple design increases tool life and
reliability.
• Broached precision splines provide for
balanced torsional loading and mandrel
stability
• Low wear, stabilized mandrel housing,
eliminates any lateral bit movement. It
automatically compensates for pressure
and temperature changes.

NEW PowerStroke Hydraulic Hydraulic Drilling Jar/

Up/Down Drilling Jar
The new National Oilwell PowerStroke
Double-acting Hydraulic Drilling Jar has
raised the industry standard for other drilling
jars. The PowerStroke is an infinitely variable
trip load jar, up to the maximum rating of the
tool, in both the up and down jarring direc-
tions. Every aspect of its rugged design is
focused on being able to withstand the abuse
and long hours of today’s demanding drilling
operations. The PowerStroke has an extra
long stroke to allow the operator to deliver
exceptional impact and impulse forces during
jarring operations. Internal impact surfaces
were incorporated that prevent well cuttings
from diminishing down jar impacts. National
Oilwell is certain that the new PowerStroke Jar
will satisfy all of your demanding drilling jar
requirements.
Features
• All jars come fitted with National Oilwell
designed flex subs, allowing for elevator lift
areas that have been incorporated in the
design.
• All jars are approximately 30-feet long,
allowing for easy racking when pulled from
the drill string.
• All jars are equipped with Dog Collars to
prevent accidental firing during rig ups.
• All PowerStroke Jars can be easily adapted
to any drill string by simply changing the top
flex sub and the bottom sub to accommo
date different connections as required.
• Simple up/down motion required to fire jars.
• All PowerStroke Jars can be dressed
to accommodate well temperatures up to
600°F.
• All PowerStroke Jars utilize sealed and
lubricated spline drive for long life in harsh
environments.
• No minimum load required, except with
mechanical down lock assembly installed,
to fire jars.
• All jars incorporate the Bowen patented self-
cleaning metering jet design.
• All PowerStroke Jars are manufactured to
ISO-9000 specifications.
Extreme Service Fishing Jar
This Griffith Hydraulic Drilling Jar/Extreme
Service Fishing Jar is an up-only straight
pull hydraulic jar. This tool is of heavy duty
design to ensure maximum durability and
jarring effect.
Durability of the jar is enhanced by a fully
lubricated spline drive which minimizes the
internal drag during jarring as well as greatly
increasing tool life.
Careful attention to seal selection and posi-
tion allows maximum utilization of material
strength and therefore provides high jarring
loads, long stroke, and large bores in a com-
pact overall tool size.
The design of the hydraulic chamber offers
several features that greatly enhance the
tool’s operating temperature range. The com-
bination of valve, meter and fluid gives a
consistent time delay throughout the oper-
ating temperature range of the tool.
The jar is operated by applying an overpull
to fire the jar. Releasing weight allows the tool
to reset when it is ready for another jarring
cycle. This jarring cycle may be repeated as
necessary. The impact force can be varied
from a light blow to a heavy blow by varying
the amount of overpull.
Full torque and circulation pressure may
be transmitted through the tool at all times.

 Shock Tools

Griffith Shock Tools

The Griffith Shock Tool is designed to isolate
the drill string from axial deflections produced
by the bit during drilling operations. This
reduces impact on the bit and drill string and
increases penetration rates by keeping the bit
on bottom during rough drilling conditions.
Features
• Will not build angle, as it is well stabilized
between barrel and mandrel
• Reduces bit bounce and extends bit life
by reducing impact loads on teeth and
bearings
• Reduces shock and vibration induced drill
string failures
• Reduces damage to surface equipment
• Unaffected by hydrostatic pressure
Constant load/deflection characteristics are
maintained regardless of hole depth, bit
weight, pump pressure, mud weight or torque.
Free vertical movement is assured by guiding
the mandrel in the barrel above and below the
spline drive to prevent lateral loads from act-
ing on the drive assembly. Griffith Shock Tools
are sprung in both directions to compensate
for pump open forces.
The Griffith Shock Tool contains a chamber
and piston to compensate for lubricant expan-
sion at higher operating temperatures.
Larger diameter (11" to 14") tools are
designed with a pressure compensation
system to reduce the excessive pump open
effect inherent in larger diameter tools. This
design permits a relatively low spring rate,
desirable when drilling large diameter holes,
without fully extending the tool at high pump
pressure. 14" shock tools are available with
an optional reamer sub for 171⁄2" hole size.
Griffith Shock Tools are available with a
standard seal kit rated to 200˚F or an optional
higher temperature seal kit rated at 350˚F.
“Hot Hole” Applications
National Oilwell also manufactures shock
tools designed for “hot hole” applications
with seals rated above 350˚F. The design and
features of the “hot hole” tools are similar to
the standard tools with the exception of the
sealing system required for the high temper-
ature application.
Small Diameter
Hydraulic Shock Tools
National Oilwell manufactures small diameter,
single-acting hydraulic shock tools in 31⁄8"
(series 4407) and 33⁄8" (series 4405) sizes.
Typical applications include coiled tubing
drilling. Like the larger diameter sizes, these
tools dampen induced vibrations and increase
ROP during drilling operations.

 Safety Valves

Kelly Valve/Drillpipe
Safety Valve
The Griffith Kelly Valve/Drill Pipe Safety
Valve is a full opening valve that provides
positive pressure control of the fluids in the
drill string. The Griffith valve seals in both
directions with metal to metal seals. Available
in 10,000 psi working pressure as standard,
15,000 psi working pressure is available in
certain sizes upon request.
These valves can be used as a drill pipe safe-
ty valve or upper kelly valve to control blowout
pressures, or as a lower kelly valve to prevent
loss of drilling fluid when the kelly is discon-
nected. National Oilwell is a licensed manu-
facturer of kelly valves under API Spec 7.
With the exception of the standard body, all
components are manufactured from materials
meeting the requirements of the National
Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE)
Standard MR0175 “Standard Material Re-
quirements, Sulfide Stress Cracking Resistant
Metallic Materials for Oilfield Equipment.” The
valve uses a hexagon socket on the operating
stem and has positive stops in the open and
closed positions.
Other sizes and connections available upon
request.

 Check Valves

Inside BOP/Stabbing Valve – Retrievable Drop-In

Dart Type
Griffith Inside BOP/Stabbing Valves are
designed to control or prevent a backflow
condition when the kelly or top drive is dis-
connected from the drillpipe. Essentially a
one-way check valve, they have a flush O.D.
to permit them to be stripped through annular
blowout preventers.
Releasing tools are supplied with the valve
and they are used to hold the valve in the
open position to allow it to be used as a
stabbing valve. If a kick or backflow condi-
tion develops, the open valve can be easily
stabbed and threaded into the drillpipe.
Unlocking the releasing tool allows the valve
to close, preventing further back flow from the
drillpipe. The releasing tool is then removed
and normal circulation can be resumed
through the valve to re-establish control of
the well. Sizes not listed available on request.
Check Valve
The Griffith Retrievable Drop-In Check
Valve provides a means of controlling back
flow through the drillpipe during a kick or
when tripping pipe into the hole against
pressure.
The landing sub is installed in the drilling
string, usually just above the drill collars. The
valve is kept on the surface until protection
from back flow is required. The valve is intro-
duced into the drillstring and pumped down
the drillstring to the landing sub where it locks
into position.
Pressure from below the landed valve ener-
gizes the packer, lock dogs and check valve.
The check valve will open to allow circulation
through the valve and automatically close
when circulation is stopped. After use, the
back pressure valve can be retrieved from the
string with the retrieval tool run in on wireline.
