Magnetic Fishing Tools
APPLICATION
are used to retrieve all types of small objects having magnetic attraction from bore hole
bottoms. Such undrillable objects as bit cones, bearings, slips, tong pins, and milling cuttings can
often be retrieved only by magnetic attraction.
While drilling, drillers have to face many problems including the breakage of
drill string, bit stuck in the mud and maybe the worst case should happened is the
bit or the drill string falls to the bottom of the well. The equipment that has fallen
into the well is called junk or fish. To pick up the fallen equipment, the operation
called, fishing had to be done due to the dysfunctional of regular drill bits to pick up
back the things.
There is the case when the fish is hardly to grip. When this happened, the
drillers had to prepare the backup plan. The plan is using washover tool or
washpipe. Washover tool is made by larger diameter pipe and has cutting surface at
the tip. The function of the cutting surface is to grind the fish to a smooth surface.
Then drilling mud has to be pump into the well to remove the debris and the
remaining fish.
BENEFITS
These Bowen Fishing Magnets are particularly valuable for use prior to diamond coring. In a single
trip, the BowenFishing Magnet will completely clean the hole of these damaging junk items, insuring
good performance and safeguarding the valuable bit.
FEATURES
Bowen Fishing Magnets may be run on wire lines or on pipe. Wireline operations have the
advantages of speed and economy. Pipe operations have the great advantage of utilizing the
generous circulation holes in the magnet to eliminate settlings above the fish, and to loosen the fish
(see chart below). The first six assemblies (with sucker rod connections) do not have circulation
bores.
Bowen has Wireline Adapters available to run between the magnet and cable head or rope socket.
When ordering, specify the required top connection and the magnet to be used with.
The Flush O.D. Type Guide is sold as part of the assembly.
