Fishing for Wireline

3 different situations;

„ Wire has parted from the tool at the weak point

„ Wire has parted somewhere else

„ Wire is intact

If no wire in the hole, use an outside catch tool.

If wire is in the hole, it’s a horrible job to get it out!!

 Wireline in the hole on top of the tool

The only choice is a Wireline Spear.

Main characteristics;
„ Run on drillpipe into the Wireline
“birds nest”.
„ Rotated a little and picked up.
„ Once the spear is at surface, the wire
is cut and retrieved.
