    摘要: A jarring apparatus includes first and second jarring assemblies rotatable relative to each other. A first impact surface is provided on the first jarring assembly and a second impact surface is provided on the second jarring assembly, wherein, in use, the first and second impact surfaces are biased together. A first lifting structure is rotatably fixed relative to the first jarring assembly and a second lifting structure is rotatably fixed relative to the second jarring assembly, the first and second lifting structures being configured to cooperate during relative rotation therebetween to cause cyclical relative displacement in one axial direction to define a lifting phase and relative displacement in a reverse axial direction to define a dropping phase. The first and second lifting structures are axially fixed relative to their associated jarring assembly during the lifting phase to provide axial separation between the first and second impact surfaces, and the second lifting structure is axially released relative to the second jarring assembly prior to initiation of the dropping phase to permit the first and second impact surfaces to be axially impacted together.

    摘要: A downhole impact apparatus operable to impart an impact to an object within a wellbore. The impact apparatus may include a housing, a first chamber within the housing, a second chamber within the housing, and a piston assembly slidably disposed within the housing. The piston assembly may include a first piston slidably disposed within the first chamber and dividing the first chamber into a first volume and a second volume, a second piston slidably disposed within the second chamber, and a shaft connecting the first and second pistons. The first volume may be open to a space external to the housing and the second volume may be fluidly isolated from the space external to the housing. Relative movement between the piston assembly and the housing ends with the impact. The second chamber may be configured to contain a fluid to prevent relative movement between the piston assembly and the housing.

    摘要: A wellbore assembly includes a conveyance member including at least one of a continuous spooled rod, a wireline, and a slickline; an accumulator system connected to the conveyance member; and a setting tool connected to the accumulator system. The accumulator system may be configured to supply a fluid pressure to actuate the setting tool. A method of operating a wellbore tool includes lowering a wellbore assembly into a wellbore using a conveyance member including at least one of a continuous spooled rod, a wireline, and a slickline, wherein the wellbore assembly includes an accumulator system and a setting tool. The method includes actuating the accumulator system to provide a fluid pressure to the setting tool. The method also includes actuating the setting tool using the fluid pressure.

    摘要: Systems and methods for moving a tubular string within a subterranean well include a downhole assembly. The downhole assembly includes a torque disconnecting member and a shock generating member. During normal drilling activities, both components are inactive. When a stuck pipe event occurs, first the torque disconnecting member is activated while the shock generating member is still inactive. Once the torque disconnecting member is activated, then the shock generating member is activated. A laterally-protruding shock pad of the activated shock generating member produces shocks against the proximate side of a wellbore wall while the shock generating member is rotating. Systems and methods for moving a tubular string within a subterranean well include a fishing assembly. The fishing assembly includes a fishing member, a swivel member, and an imbalanced member. The imbalanced member has a cross-sectional center of gravity off-centered relative to the longitudinal axis to produce shocks against the proximate side of the wellbore wall while the imbalanced member is rotating.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods for creating a downhole impact. The apparatus may be an impact tool operable to be coupled between portions of a tool string conveyable within a wellbore extending into a subterranean formation. The impact tool may include a housing, a chamber within the housing, a piston slidably disposed within the chamber and dividing the chamber into a first chamber volume and a second chamber volume, and a shaft connected with the piston and axially movable with respect to the housing. The first chamber volume may be open to a space external to the housing and the second chamber volume may be fluidly isolated from the space external to the housing. The piston may be maintained in a predetermined position within the chamber to maintain pressure within the second chamber volume appreciably lower than pressure within the first chamber volume while the impact tool is conveyed along the wellbore.

    摘要: A drilling jar in an oil and gas drilling operation or fishing operation includes a control unit having one or more transceivers configured to communicate wirelessly with a surface control unit. The control unit is configured to receive an activation signal from the surface control unit, and cause to activate the drilling jar in response to the activation signal. The wireless transceivers may communicate using any wireless communication technology, including but not limited to Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, and BLE. A method for operating a drilling jar includes receiving, by a control unit comprising one or more transceivers configured to communicate wirelessly with a surface control unit, an activation signal from the surface control unit, and causing to activate the drilling jar in response to the activation signal.

    摘要: An impact apparatus operable to be coupled along and impart an impact to a downhole tool string. The impact apparatus includes a housing, a first and second chambers within the housing, and a piston shaft assembly movable with respect to the housing. The piston shaft assembly includes a first piston slidably disposed within and dividing the first chamber into a first chamber portion and a second chamber portion, a first shaft connected with the first piston and axially movable into and out of the housing, a second piston slidably disposed within the second chamber, and a second shaft connecting the first and second pistons. The first chamber portion is open to a space external to the housing. The second chamber contains a fluid operable to maintain the piston shaft assembly and the housing in a predetermined relative position.
