OVERVIEW

The Logan Z Type Hydraulic Fishing Jar is used for light drilling, fishing, coring, reaming, testing, side tracking, and washover operations. This straight-pull jar combines proven principles of me-chanics and hydraulics in a simple to assemble, easy to operate design.

The tool does not interfere with the operation of formation testers, safety joints, or other fishing tools. It can trans-mit full torque in either direction at all times during operation. Settings and adjustments are not necessary before going into the hole or after the fish has been engaged.

The Jars closed hydraulic system con-tains hydraulic fluid within the Jar and prevents well fluids from entering the tool. The internal working parts are constantly lubricated by the hydraulic fluid within the tool, resulting in long-life wear of the parts.

The intensity of jarring impact from very light to very heavy can be eas-ily controlled by the operator. A rapid series of jarring blows can be delivered when needed. The speed is limited only by the time it takes the operator to raise and lower the fishing string for each stroke.

Impact control is made possible by the metering action of the piston assembly. During the pull stroke, the piston as-sem-bly meters fluid from one cavity to another through a restricted passage. This retarded fluid flow delays the stroke thereby allowing the operator ample time to stretch the running string to strike a blow of desired intensity.

Metering action does not occur when the Jar is closed or reset. Only enough weight to overcome friction is required to close the tool and will not dam-age the Jar. When the mandrel/piston assembly is lowered, the piston rings travel upward in their grooves. When the Jar is reset for another stroke, large bypass relief ports in the piston open during the closing stroke to allow unob-structed fluid flow from the lower cavity to the upper cavity. The piston thus re-enters the cylinder with little resistance.

USE

The Logan Z Type Hydraulic Fishing Jar is commonly used in fishing and coring operations, and formation testing. The Jar does not interfere with test equip-ment or other tools an important design feature that preserves test data if jarring should become necessary. The packing can withstand higher pressures than those encountered during forma-tion testing.

The tool does not interfere with the free operation of other fishing tools or safety joints. The operator can easily and simply control the intensity of the blow from very light to heavy impact without prior adjustment.

The Logan Z Type Hydraulic Jar is easy to use. Only straight pull is required to operate the jar. Each blow can be posi-tively controlled by the operator from a very light blow to forceful impact. Suc-cessive blows can be struck as often as the operator can raise and slack off the running string. Full circulation through the tool can be maintained for effective flushing. Full torque may be used in either direction and at all times during operation.

CONSTRUCTION

The Logan Z Type Hydraulic Fishing Jar basically consists of a mandrel/piston assembly that slides within a cylinder assembly. The cylinder assembly con-sists of a mandrel body (or top sub), middle body, washpipe body, fill plugs, and seal ring assemblies.

Mandrel/Piston AssemblyThe mandrel/piston assembly is com-posed of a mandrel, piston assembly, knocker, and washpipe.

MandrelThe shoulder-type, splined mandrel fits into the mating splines of the mandrel body. The splines are always engaged to provide a continuous source of torque transmission whether bumping or not. The mandrel freely moves up and down while transmitting torque to the mandrel body. There is a polished seal section between the splines and top end. A suitable knocker and wash-pipe are made up on the lower end of the mandrel.

Mandrel BodyThe mandrel body slides flat-end up over the mandrel. The inside of the mandrel body is designed with a series of straight splines near the lower end. These splines engage the correspond-ing splines of the mandrel to transmit torque conveyed by the running through the middle body, washpipe body, and attached tool. A fill plug located at the upper end of the mandrel body, similar to the fill plug on the lower end of the middle body, allows the Z Type Hydrau-lic Fishing Jar to be filled with oil. (See page 12 for a detailed description of the filling process.) Two seal assemblies (each consisting of a non-extrusion ring, seal protector ring, and an O-ring), seal the fluid in the upper end of the mandrel body.

Critical SealsSeal assemblies, consisting of O-ring seals, seal protector rings, and non-extrusion rings, are placed in high differential pressure areas located at the upper end of the mandrel and the lower end of the washpipe. As hydraulic pressure is applied (in either direction), the seal ring assemblies reduce normal diametric clearance at the seal points to nearly zero. Non-extrusion rings prevent the O-rings from being pushed out or rolled out of position.

Seal assemblies are placed in tandem in places where a seal is subjected to high pressure in both directions

OPERATION

Carefully examine the Logan Z Type Hydraulic Fishing Jar prior to use. En-sure that it is properly assembled and filled with hydraulic fluid. Test the Jar in a Logan Jar Tester if one is available.

The piston must be assembled with a piston seal with non-extrusion ring and seal protector ring at its upper end. The non-extrusion ring should be below the O-ring, towards the washpipe.

Piston AssemblyThe piston assembly consists of a piston, piston rings, and a piston seal asse
