Standard Components - Series 150 Releasing and Circulating Overshots

Top sub - The top sub is the uppermost component of the assembly. It is
equipped with a box connection, as specified by the customer, to assure
proper make-up with the fishing string.

Bowl - The bowl is the major working component of the overshot. The upper
end of the bowl is threaded for assembly with the top sub. The lower end is
threaded for assembly with the standard guide. A helix-shaped configuration
inside the overshot bowl provides a tapered spiral surface on which the
grapple will be assembled. Once the grapple has engaged the fish, an
upward strain will cause the grapple to be compressed by the movement of
the matching tapers. The greater the pull, the stronger the grip. The strain is
evenly distributed over the entire working surface of the bowl and the
grapple. This minimizes any possible damage to the bowl or the fish.

Standard guide - The standard guide is the lowermost component of the


assembly. It guides the fish into the overshot, allowing the internal gripping
mechanism to properly engage and grip the fish. The guide also prohibits
the entry of a fish that exceeds the maximum catch of the overshot. This
minimizes any possible damage to the overshot assembly.

Oversized Guide - When the hole size is considerably larger than the
diameter of the fish, there may be sufficient room for the overshot to pass
alongside of the fish without engaging it. In this case, an oversized guide
can be used to assure fish engagement and to properly guide the fish into
the overshot.

Spiral Grapple - The spiral grapple is a left-hand helix that conforms to the
inside of the overshot bowl. Especially hardened wicker threads assure a
positive grip to engage the fish securely.

Basket Grapple - The basket grapple is a slotted cylinder with an external


helix that conforms to the interior of the overshot bowl. Especially hardened
wicker threads assure a positive grip to engage the fish securely. Three
types of basket grapples are available:

 The standard basket grapple is used to catch a fish with a uniform


outside diameter. The fish passes completely through the grapple
during engagement. This type of grapple is standard equipment.

 The long catch stop basket grapple has an internal shoulder at its
upper end to prevent the fish from passing completely through the
grapple. When engaging a coupling or upset section of a tool joint,
this shoulder positions the control packer for optimum pack-off
around the fish.

 The short catch stop basket grapple has two sets of internal wickers
cut on different diameters. It is used to engage a coupling with a
short section of pipe protruding above it. The upper or smaller
diameter wickers catch the pipe above the collar, providing a stop
against the coupling so that it can be caught by the lower set of
wickers and packed-off by the control packer.

Grapple Controls - Grapple controls transmit torque from the overshot bowl
to the grapple while allowing the grapple to move vertically inside the
bowl.Spiral grapple controls are furnished without milling teeth or a pack-off
mechanism. Basket grapple controls can be furnished plain, with pack-off
capabilities, or with milling teeth and pack-off capabilities.

Pack-off Mechanism - A pack-off mechanism is necessary if circulation is


required during the fishing operation. Packing off assures circulation
through, rather than around, the fish. The pack-off system employed will
depend on the type of grapple selected. If the overshot is equipped with a
spiral grapple, a type A packer is used to seal between the overshot bowl
and the fish. If a basket grapple is used, pack-off is achieved by the inner
seal on the control packer.
