Abstract
A wireline jarring tool includes an elongate body having opposing upper and lower ends, a longitudinal channel defined in the elongate body and extending between the upper and lower ends and sized to loosely receive a wireline, and a jarring assembly housed within the elongate body and operable to generate a jarring force transmittable to a bottom hole assembly (BHA) once the wireline jarring tool is secured to the BHA within a wellbore. The wireline jarring tool is conveyable into the wellbore by translating longitudinally along the wireline, and actuating the jarring assembly is configured to release the BHA from a stuck position within a wellbore.
Claims20
A well system, comprising:
- a wellhead including a lubricator and a wireline extending through the lubricator;
- a bottom hole assembly (BHA) attached to the wireline and conveyable into a wellbore extending from the wellhead;
- and
- a wireline jarring tool including:
- an elongate body having opposing upper and lower ends;
- a longitudinal channel defined in the elongate body and extending between the upper and lower ends and sized to loosely receive the wireline;
- and
- a jarring assembly housed within the elongate body and operable to generate a jarring force transmittable to the BHA once the wireline jarring tool is secured to the BHA,
- wherein the wireline jarring tool is conveyable into the wellbore by translating longitudinally along the wireline, and actuating the jarring assembly is configured to release the BHA from a stuck position within the wellbore.
A method of jarring a bottom hole assembly (BHA), comprising:
- installing a wireline jarring tool onto a wireline extending from a wellhead into a wellbore extending from the wellhead, the BHA being coupled to a distal end of the wireline within the wellbore;
- dropping the wireline jarring tool into the wellbore and allowing the wireline jarring tool to translate longitudinally along the wireline until locating the BHA;
- mating the wireline jarring tool with the BHA;
- and
- actuating a jarring assembly included in the wireline jarring tool and thereby transmitting a jarring force to the BHA.
