Bowen Super Fishing Jar
Unmatched impacts and
reliability • Second generation technology
• Uses a cone and seal body metering system
Our engineers have taken field data and
made ongoing updates to our Bowen™ jarring • Hydrostatically balanced
technologies to deliver the proven, reliable
• Improved coatings and metering design
impact forces needed to free your fish.
Bowen™ Jars are straight-pull up jarring tools
that employ a patented combination of proven Bowen Super II Fishing Jar
principles of hydraulics and mechanics. These
jars are simple to assemble and their unique • Third generation technology
design allows for easy, dependable operation.
• Most robust design
Our patented metering action provides operators
with full control of the impact force, giving the • Mandrel with integral top sub
ability to deliver a light or heavy blow. Successive
blows can be struck as often as the operator can • Available with Jar Max technology (4¾ in. and
slack off and raise the running string. 6¼ in. sizes only) — an over-pressure release
mechanism, which prevents the tool from being
over-pulled
Proper placement can affect your jar’s
performance by a factor of as much as four. • May be used for heavy milling and or short-term
Recognizing the importance and complexity of light drilling operations
analyzing jarring mechanics, we developed our
proprietary NOV Jar Placement Program. • Improved coatings and metering design
