Fishing Tools

Fishing Tools in the oil and gas industry refer to specialized equipment used to retrieve lost or stuck objects from the wellbore during drilling, completion, or production operations. These objects can include parts of drilling equipment, casing, tubing, or other materials that may have been accidentally dropped, broken, or become lodged within the well.

Types of Fishing Tools:

Overshots: An overshot is a type of tool designed to retrieve objects such as drill pipe, tubing, or other downhole equipment that have been left behind or have broken off inside the wellbore.
Magnets: Magnetic fishing tools are used to retrieve ferrous (magnetic) objects, such as drill bits, sections of tubing, or other metallic debris.
Fishing Jar: A fishing jar is used to provide a powerful impact to loosen or retrieve stuck objects. It is designed to apply a strong jarring force when attempting to dislodge debris or stuck tools.

Benefits of Fishing Tools:

Fishing tools are critical for retrieving lost or stuck equipment, minimizing downtime, and preventing costly delays in well operations.
Properly deployed fishing tools help prevent further damage to the wellbore and reduce the risk of damaging expensive downhole equipment.
Fishing tools come in many designs and configurations, offering flexibility to handle a wide variety of lost or stuck objects, whether they are drill pipe, tubing, or smaller debris.
Fishing tools are engineered to operate in challenging environments, ensuring that they can safely retrieve stuck objects without causing further complications or safety hazards.
