Slickline Tool String Configuration Guide

The document discusses the components and sizing considerations for slickline tool strings. It describes the main components like weight bars, jars, and knuckle joints. It provides guidance on selecting the proper size for tool strings based on tubing inner diameter. Sizing charts are included to determine weight bars needed based on pressure and stem size. The purpose of different jar types like hydraulic, tubular, and spring jars is explained. An accelerator is described as a tool used to increase the impact of jars near the surface.

Other Considerations

Nipple Sizes
No-Go Nipples
Cutter Bars
Go-Devils

• Make sure you can pass through


the tubing and landing nipples and
still be retrieve
• Size your tools so that Cutters or
Go-Devils can not go along side.

Jars and Stem
Jars should be the
same OD as the Stem.
Tools attached to the lower
end of the Jars must always
be larger than the Stem and
the Jars
Purpose of Knuckle Joint

Flexibility

Centralizing
the Tool
below the
Jars
Tubular Jars

When there is wire or


debris present that could
foul a set of spang jars.
Hydraulic Jars

Used to create
high impact
upward jar
action.
Installed in the
toolstring
between the
Stem and
Mechanical Jars
Accelerator

Used with Hydraulic or Spring


Jars to increase the jarring
effect by imitating line stretch.
Used mainly near the surface
where there is minimum line
stretch, but can be used
effectively downhole to increase
jarring impact at the tools.
Installed in the toolstring
between the Rope Socket and
the Stem.
Spring Jars

Used for the same purposes as


Hydraulic Jars.

Spring Jars won’t gas-up.

Some designs might be longer


than Hydraulic Jars
