TAPER TAPS
DESCRIPTION/APPLICATION
Taper Taps are used to engage the inside of
a fish where conventional releasing spears
would not be feasible. Taper Taps are de-
signed to cut threads where no threads are
present. Taper Taps can be used to fish tu-
bulars, bridge plugs, packers or other types
of downhole equipment.
OPERATION
Run Taper Tap into the hole and lightly tag
the top of the fish. Pick up and begin to ro-
tate slowly. Note the free torque of the work-
string. While rotating, slowly lower the Ta-
per Tap into the fish until the torque begins
to build up rapidly. Increase the set-down
weight as the torque increases.
Once the Taper Tap is firmly seated in the
fish, attempt to retrieve the fish with straight
pull (dependent upon the fishing scenario).
Caution: Taps are non-releasable and
should be run with bumper jars and safety
joints. Taps should only be used when re-
leasable engagement type tools are not an
option.
FEATURES/BENEFITS
• Manufactured from high-quality ANSI
8620 material
• Carburized wickers with high surface
hardness
• Available with right-handed or left-
handed wickers or connections
Various sizes, lengths and connections are
available on request to handle specific types
of profiles.

DIE COLLAR/BOX TAP
DESCRIPTION/APPLICATION
Die Collars/Box Taps are used to engage
the outside of a fish where conventional
releasing overshot would not be feasible.
Die Collar is designed to cut threads where
no threads are present. Die Collars can be
used to fish tubulars, bridge plugs, packers
or other types of downhole equipment.
OPERATION
Run die collar into the hole and lightly tag
the top of the fish. Pick up and begin to
rotate slowly. Note the free torque of the
workstring. While rotating, slowly lower the
box tap onto the fish until the torque begins
to build up rapidly. Increase the set-down
weight as the torque increases. Once the
die collar is firmly seated on the fish, attempt
to retrieve the fish with straight pull (depend-
ent upon the fishing scenario).
Caution: Taps are non-releasable and
should be run with bumper jars and safety
joints. Taps should only be used when re-
leasable engagement type tools are not an
option.
FEATURES/BENEFITS
• Manufactured from high-quality ANSI
8620 material
• Carburized wickers with high surface
hardness and proper carrying strength
• Available with right-handed or
left-handed wickers or connections
Various sizes, length and connections are
available on request to handle specific types
of profiles

THE SERIES 150 RELEASING AND
CIRCULATING OVERSHOT
DESCRIPTION/APPLICATION
The Series 150 Releasing and Circulating
Overshot is the strongest tool available to
externally engage, pack-off, and pull a fish.
The basic simplicity and rugged construction
with which it is designed have made it the
standard of all external catch fishing tools.
The Series 150 Releasing and Circulat-
ing Overshot is composed of three outside
parts: top sub, bowl, and guide. The Basic
Overshot may be dressed with either of two
sets of internal parts depending on whether
the fish to be caught is near maximum size
for the particular overshot.
Some special conditions apply. If the fish
diameter is near the maximum catch of the
Overshot, a Spiral Grapple, Spiral Grap-
ple Control, and Type “A” Packer are used.
If the fish diameter is considerably below
maximum catch size (usually 1/2”), a Basket
Grapple and a Basket Grapple Mill Control
Packer are used.

HYDRAULIC CASING SPEAR
DESCRIPTION/APPLICATION
The Hydraulic Casing Spear is designed to be run
above a mechanical or hydraulic inside casing cut-
ter and used to retrieve casing sizes from 9-5/8” to
13-3/8”. This application allows for the cutting and
pulling of the casing string to be accomplished in one
trip. The spear can be rotated inside the casing string
without engaging. Once the cut0 is completed the
spear can then be positioned at the desired location
inside the casing string. The rugged design of the
spear makes it well suited to withstand the most se-
vere downhole environments for retrieval of casing.
OPERATION
Dress spear to the correct size casing to be engaged.
It is recommended to run the hydraulic spear one joint
above the cutter you are using. This will prevent hav-
ing to strip out of the casing at surface to lay down
cutter and accessories. Once cut has been made,
pickup to position the spear at the top of casing string.
Drop restriction plug in drillpipe. Allow one minute per
1,000 ft for restriction plug to seat in spear. Pressure
up slowly to the necessary pressure drop (minimum
of 500 psi) to set spear. Once the Hydraulic Spear is
set pickup and pull on casing. Pullout of hole slowly.
Set the joint of pipe on top of the Hydraulic Spear in
rotary and drop shear release ball in pipe. Pick up
kelly or top drive and screw into same. Pick up and
set casing in slips and secure. Pressure up on spear
to the necessary shear load. Once shear screws are
sheared spear is released and can now be laid down.
FEATURES/BENEFITS
• Allows for cutting and retrieval in one trip
• Simple construction permits ease of operation
and maintenance
• Bore through ID of tool permits circulation to
casing cutter
• Slips are retracted inside of body to prevent
damage to tool or casing when casing is being
cut downhole
• Easily dressed for alternate casing sizes
• Set and released hydraulically. No mechanical
intervention required

KELO SOCKET OVERSHOT
The kelo socket overshots are simple bull-
dog overshots used to catch small-diameter
workstrings and sucker rods inside casing.
They are also used to recover coiled tubing
that has parted and remains in the hole.
OPERATION
Before running, the kelo socket is dressed
with the correct slip. The tools are tripped
in the hole and the kelo socket is lowered
over the top of the fish without rotation. The
rotary is then stopped and the kelo socket is
lowered over the fish. The slip is engaged by
picking up on the workstring. The slip, which
is pushed up the slip guide, catches the OD
of the fish and starts down the slip guide’s
tapered slot. The more pull, the tighter the
slip will grip the fish.

K-MILL
The Section Mill (K-Mill) is a hydraulically
actuated tool used to mill a section or a win-
dow in casing or tubing. The K-Mill is simple
in design, easy to operate, and has an out-
standing reputation for milling performance.
It performs equally well in milling sections
for cased hole sidetrack operations and for
gravel pack completions.

DRAG TYPE UNDER REAMER
The drag-type under reamer (DTU) is de-
signed to run in conjunction with a drill bit
or a bullnose, depending on pilot hole con-
dition or project objectives. The DTU’s three
retractable cutting arms are opened and
held in position by continuous hydraulic
pressure. Cutters are retracted by disen-
gaging the pump, allowing the tool to be
repositioned for selective under reaming op-
erations or retrieval from the well. This sim-
ple and efficient design, with each arm ma-
chined out of a single piece of high-strength
alloy, ensures longer tool time at bottom and
easy field maintenance.

RELEASING SPEAR
Releasing Spears provide a dependable, in-
expensive, and simple means of engaging
a fish internally. These spears assure posi-
tive engagement, easy release from the fish
when desired, and easy re-engagement af-
ter the spear has been released.
Releasing Spear consists of a Mandrel,
Grapple, Release Ring, and Nut. The Man-
drel may be obtained in either a Flush Type
or a Shoulder Type. Mandrel Top Connec-
tions are furnished to order. The nut can be
obtained as a plain bull-nose guide or with
a pin connection for the attachment of other
tools below the spear.
