133 WIRELINE DOWN JAR US14065091 2013-10-28 US20150114643A1 2015-04-30 Keith McNeilly
A jar assembly for use downhole includes a housing, a piston assembly slidable within and selectively coupled to the housing, a mandrel assembly coupled on a lower end of the piston assembly, and an anvil coupled to an end of the mandrel assembly opposite the piston assembly. The jar assembly is deployed in a wellbore by a conveyance means that couples with the housing. A hydraulic circuit in the piston assembly activates a latch for decoupling the piston assembly from the housing; when decoupled, the housing slides downward and impacts the anvil to generate a jarring force. The jar assembly is re-cocked by raising it with the conveyance means.

137 Jarring tool with micro adjustment US12850413 2010-08-04 US08418758B2 2013-04-16 Jason A. Hradecky
A jarring tool is disclosed. The tool has a segment of sub housing containing an upper stop proximate a first end thereof. An outer latch piece is connected to an upper end of the lower shaft inside the sub housing, and an upper shaft passes through the stop and connects on a first end thereof to an inner latch piece. A cap is on a second end of the upper shaft retaining a washer stack against the upper stop. A retainer is inside the sub housing and has an first piece providing a restraining region and an open region and a second piece attached to the sub housing. The retainer retains the inner and outer latch pieces in a latched position in the restraining region until the latch pieces are displaced toward the second end of the sub housing through the retainer to the open region as a result of a tensile force on the outer latch piece.
138 Tools and methods for hanging and/or expanding liner strings US12436073 2009-05-05 US08286717B2 2012-10-16 Richard L. Giroux; Michael Lynch; Lev Ring
Embodiments of the invention generally relate to tools and methods for hanging and/or expanding liner strings. In one embodiment, a method of hanging a liner assembly from a previously installed tubular in a wellbore includes running the liner assembly and a setting tool into the wellbore using a run-in string. The setting tool includes an isolation valve and the liner assembly includes a liner hanger and a liner string. The method further includes sending an instruction signal from the surface to the isolation valve, wherein the isolation valve closes in response to the instruction signal and isolates a setting pressure in the setting tool from the liner string; and increasing fluid pressure in the setting tool, thereby setting the liner hanger.
139 Downhole jarring tool US12632411 2009-12-07 US08191626B2 2012-06-05 Jason A. Hradecky
A tool having a first lower sub end, a second upper sub end, and an extensible joint connecting the first and second sub ends. The joint has a first inner latch piece connected to the lower sub end, and a second outer latch piece connected to the upper sub end, and a stationary restraining collar. The joint, in a latched position, has the outer latch piece latched to the inner latch piece and the inner and outer latch pieces restrained from unlatching by the restraining collar. The joint, under tensile force, unlatches into an unlatched position by the inner latch piece pulling the outer latch piece through the restraining collar into a position where the inner and outer latch pieces are free to separate. An impact force is generated from the tensile force when the joint unlatches and reaches a maximum extension.
140 Jars for Wellbore Operations US12822987 2010-06-24 US20100258314A1 2010-10-14 Dwight Rose
An example of an apparatus for jarring a wellbore tool from an obstruction includes four sub-assemblies in communication with three springs such that the springs may be compressed forcing the subassemblies to become adjacent to one another. When the springs are actuated, the sub-assembly units spring apart from one another force dislodging the lower most sub-assembly component from the obstruction.
