Junk Catchers Reverse Circulating Junk Basket

Reverse Circulating
Junk Basket
The Gotco Reverse Circulating Junk Basket (RCB) is a junk
retrieval tool designed to remove all types of objects from the
bottom of the well bore. This superior tool removes such items
as slips, hand tools, bit cones, and any other small pieces of
junk from the well. The RCB uses reverse circulation to aid
junk recovery.
Construction
The tool consists of a top sub,
barrel assembly, catcher, and
shoe. The barrel assembly con-

sists of an inner and outer barrel,


valve seat, cup, and ball. A lift sub
is also provided to assist in handling.

Assembly and Operation


Make up the junk basket to
the bottom of the string and run
into the hole. When the tool is
approximately 10 feet from the
bottom of the hole, the ball is
dropped down the drill pipe. The
ball will position itself in the ball
seat and reverse circulation will
begin. Circulate and begin coring.
Combined with the reverse circulation, this guarantees that any

junk on the bottom is pumped into


the barrel and caught by the catcher assembly. The tool is removed
from the hole after cutting 10 to
20 inches of core.

Optional Components
and Accessories
Shoes - Four types of shoes
are available to fit the Reverse
Circulating Junk Basket.
Type A mill shoe is supplied
as standard equipment with the
cutting teeth dressed with hard
metal and has side wings. The
type A mill shoe is used where the
formation is relatively soft and
the fish is a loose piece.
Type B mill shoe is equal in
design to the type A shoe, however, it is hard faced with Gotcoloy
a sintered tungsten carbide in an
extremely tough matrix which
will effectively and rapidly mill
up junk during the fishing operation. This shoe will cut on O.D.,
I.D. and bottom.
Type C mill shoe is also hard
faced with Gotcoloy, however, is
designed with a flat bottom, and

the Gotcoloy is placed on the


inner face and the outer face. This
design is used to mill up junk and
is extremely effective for cutting
cores.
Type B or type C Gotcoloy
dressed milling shoes are used if
the formation is hard or if the fish
is embedded in the formation.
Use of these two designs also cuts
away protruding excess metal to
allow free entry of the junk into
the basket.
Finger Shoe - For retrieving
loose junk on the bottom of the
hole which may exceed the maximum catch of the RCB can be
retrieved by use of a finger shoe
assembly. The assembly consists
of a shoe extension and the finger
replacement. The entire assembly
is used in place of a mill shoe.
The fingers are designed to close
in beneath the fish when slowly
lowered during rotation. Finger
replacements can be replaced easily and are very inexpensive.
Magnet Inserts - The RCB
can be easily converted to a fishing magnet by removing the
catcher assembly and replacing it
with a magnet insert. The insert
still allows direct or reverse circulation and can be used with A, B
or C type shoes, or special shoes
designed to customer specifications. The magnet insert is the
same design as the Gotco Fishing
Magnet and by adding a top sub
to the magnet insert, it can be
used independently as a fishing
magnet.

Jet Type Junk


Basket
The Gotco Jet Type Junk Basket is designed to recover objects
from the bottom of the well bore. This superior tool removes
items such as slips, hand tools, rock bit cones, and any other
small pieces of junk from the well.

The tool consists of a top


sub, jet barrel, lower barrel, jet
assembly section, jets, ball
seat, drop ball, shoe, and
catcher assembly. A lift sub is
available to assist in handling
and for storage of the steel
drop ball.

Make up the junk basket to


the bottom of the string and
run into the hole. (see figure
1) When the tool is approximately 4 to 6 feet off the bottom of the hole, circulation is
initiated to wash the hole in
order to retrieve junk. During
this operation, the ball seat is
secured in place within the
upper portion of the jet pump
head with shear pins. This
seals off the reverse circulation jet ports providing full circulation through the entire
length of the tool. The barrel,
jet assembly, and junk catchers
will be washed clean going
into the hole while preparing
for junk retrieval.
When the tool is over the
fish (junk), the steel drop ball
is then dropped through the
inside diameter and seats
inside the ball seat. (see figure
2) When pump pressure is
applied, the pins will shear

allowing the ball seat to drop


down into the lower section of
the jet pump head. The flow
will now be directed out of the
jet nozzles at an angle as to not
washout the hole. Flow will
then be directed downward
and back up through the junk
basket catcher, lower barrel,
jet housing, around the jet
nozzles, and back out of the jet
barrel ports. Thus, creating
reverse circulation and directing junk into the catcher
assembly.
The Jet Type Junk Basket
can easily be converted to a
standard Core Basket by simply removing the Jet Barrel
and Jet Assembly and screwing the Lower Barrel directly
to the Top Sub.
O.D. Conversion and
Accessories
The Lower Barrel can be

replaced by an oversized barrel in order to adapt to a larger


junk catcher assembly. There
are four types of mill shoes
available to fit the Jet Type
Junk Basket. Type A, B, C,
and the Finger Type Shoe. See
standard Shoes in Reverse

Core-Type Junk Basket

Core-Type
Junk Basket
The Gotco Core-Type Junk Basket is a junk retrieval tool
designed to retrieve all types of objects from the bottom of the
well bore. This easy-to-use tool removes such items as slips, hand
tools, and bit cones. The basic assembly consists of a top sub,
barrel, type A mill shoe, upper and lower catchers.
Assembly and Operation
Make up the core basket to
the bottom of the string and run it
in the hole to a point several feet
from the bottom. With direct circulation, the coring action on the
junk proceeds until a 24 inch core
is cut. The fingers in the upper
catcher break the core when an
upward strain is applied to the
string. The lower catcher fingers

then form a close-fitting basket


that traps the core with its
retrieved junk. As in the other
junk basket designs, they are free
to revolve within the shoe, thus
eliminating finger breakage.

Junk Catchers

ket systems: Type A shoe with


side wings, Type B shoe with
hard-faced Gotcoloy sintered

with flat bottom and Gotcoloy on
the inner and outer faces.
Magnet Inserts A magnet
insert can be used in place of the
catcher assemblies, thus converting the tool to a fishing magnet.
Finger Shoe A finger shoe
is used to retrieve junk that may
be too large to enter the catchers.

Junk Catchers Fishing Magnet

Fishing Magnet
The Gotco Fishing Magnet is a junk retrieval tool designed to
effectively remove metal particles, shavings, and debris from the
bottom of the well bore. The process of retrieving small, oddly
shaped objects is one of the most frequent and most difficult
fishing jobs. Typically, these objects are the result of bit failures
that leave cones and cutters in the hole, or are an accumulation of
mill cuttings, or are simply accidental droppings of unmillable
objects into the hole. In these cases, the fish is nearly always an
odd-shaped object that cannot be engaged in the normal manner.
Fishing magnets successfully remove these small objects from
the hole bottom. The tools design incorporates generous circulation holes that wash away the cuttings and other debris that otherwise would prevent contact with the magnet. Fishing magnets
can be run on either wire line or pipe.

Construction
The fishing magnet is constructed from steel specially
selected for its ability to conduct
the necessary magneto-motive
forces. The magnet element is
one of the most powerful permanent magnets available. Used
properly, it will never lose its

charge. A variety of shoes are


available to accommodate any
retrieval situation. Caution:
Magnets are charged while in the
assembled state and should not
be disassembled. Disassembly is
dangerous and can cause serious
injury due to the extreme forces
generated by the magnet element.

Assembly and Operation


No assembly is required other
than selecting the desired shoe
and installing it on the lower end
of the magnet assembly. Make up
the magnet assembly to the bottom of the fishing string. Run in
the hole, and hold the magnet 6 to
12 inches above the fish.
Circulate generously to wash
away cuttings. Reduce circulation, lower the magnet to the fish,
and rotate slightly to obtain good
contact. Cut off circulation and
lift the magnet from the hole.

Optional Components
and Accessories

Fishing Magnet

26

Guides A flush guide is


assembled as standard equipment.
Lipped guides and mill guides are
also available. The lipped guide
assists the operator in centralizing
the fish to assure contact with the
magnet. The mill guide enables
the operator to mill any soft formation or settling, thus freeing
the debris at the bottom of the
hole.

Wire Line Adapter An


adapter is available to install
between the magnet and the cable
head or socket.
Magnet Charger The
Gotco Magnet Charger provides
the highest strength possible for
recharging your fishing magnets.
While magnets should not lose
their effectiveness during normal
handling and operation, conditions exist which can reduce their
charge. Welding a magnet subjects the magnet circuit to electrical current which can adversely
affect the charge. Similarly, storing the magnet in the vicinity of
electric motors, or bringing magnets too close to each other can be
detrimental to the magnets
strength. Recharging is quick and
simple. There is no limit to the

number of times a magnet can be


recharged, and with proper handling a recharged magnet will
retain maximum strength indefinitely.
Keepers Keeper bars are
recommended when magnets are
stored. They are placed on the
face of the magnet and will consume most of the flux generated
by the magnet element. This will
reduce the potential for the attraction of miscellaneous metal items
or particles. Keepers can be safely
and easily removed at any time.

by air, consult your freight forwarder. Special handling is
required by most airlines when
shipping magnetized items.

Ditch Magnet, Impression Block

Junk Catchers

Ditch Magnet
The Gotco Ditch Magnet is a junk retrieval tool designed to
remove metal particles from drilling mud. High quality stainless
steel is used to encapsulate a series of extra strength magnet elements assuring maximum pick-up capacity.
Ditch Magnet

Operation
The magnet should be used
any time metal particles may
accumulate in the mud. This is a
required tool during milling and
washover operations. Position the
magnet in the mud return line

before the shale shaker. Metal


particles passing by the magnet
will then be caught and retained,
protecting the shale shaker, mud
pumps and other costly components of the mud system.

Impression Block

Assembly and Operation

The Gotco Impression Block is an accessory tool used to accurately determine the dimensions and configuration of the upper
end of a fish as well as to check its condition and position in the
well bore. The soft lead lower end of the impression block captures an impression of the fish upon making contact. Impression
blocks are manufactured with a pin connection up and a layer of
soft lead on the lower end of the tool. Circulation holes will be
provided on request.

Make up the impression


block to the bottom of the fishing
string. Run into hole until impression block is near top of fish.
Slowly lower pipe until making
contact with fish. Do not rotate.
Apply weight to impression block
and then pull out of hole. The
impression made will assist the
operator in determining what
tools are needed to prepare and
retrieve the fish.

Junk Catchers Wireline Spear

Wireline Spear
The Gotco Wireline Spear is a simple easy to use tool designed to
retrieve wire line and wire rope from the well bore.

Construction

Assembly and Operation

Spears are constructed of high


quality steel for strength and durability. The upper end of the tool
has a box connection and fishing
neck. Two types of spears are
available. The standard wireline
spear is provided with welded
barbs. The collapsible wireline
spear has retracting barbs to allow
easier entry into the wire without
compacting it further. Serrations
on the spear shank, inside the collapsible barb cavity, further
enhances the ability of the Gotco
Wireline Spear to retain its grip on
the cable while tripping out.

Make-up the spear to the bottom of the string. Run in the hole.
Upon reaching the wire to be
retrieved, slowly lower the spear,
allowing the steel barbs to engage
the wire. It may be necessary to
lift and lower several times to be
sure the spear has sufficiently
engaged the wire. Slight rotation
may also be required to loosen the
wire if it is severely compacted.
The spear may then be lifted from
the hole, bringing the loose wire
with it.
