Abstract
A coiled tubing venturi junk basket tool retrieves junk, debris and/or wireline from a wellbore. A collection housing or waste basket is removeably coupled to the venturi body. The collection housing (waste basket) is customizable for volume, hole diameter and the type of junk and debris retrieved. An elastomeric trap is used to retain junk and debris in the collection housing. The collection housing is also interchangeable with a grab housing for retrieving wireline.
