OVERSHOT

Main functions of the overshot:

• Extraction of broken or stuck objects:

The overshot is used to capture and lift various objects that are left in the well after emergencies, such as broken drill pipe, tools or parts.

• Tool and equipment trapping:

It is used to retrieve tools that may be accidentally lost or stuck during drilling or operation, such as bits, drill heads and other parts.

• Preventive measure for emergencies:

The Overshot helps prevent further complications and equipment damage by restoring normal well penetration.

Design and operating principle:

• The main element is a gripping mechanism with collets designed to fix the object.
• The overshot is attached to the drill string and lowered into the well.
• Upon contact with a broken or stuck object, the tool grips it, providing a secure grip to lift it to the surface.

Overshot types:

• Collet Overshot:

Used to grip pipes and other cylindrical objects with smooth surfaces.

• Cam Grip Overshot:

Used for more difficult objects such as parts with uneven or damaged surfaces.

Advantages of the overshot:

• Allows efficient recovery of objects left in the well with minimal damage.
• Quickly responds to emergencies and reduces downtime.
• Provides a secure grip under difficult operating conditions.
• Easy to use and versatile for different types of objects.
