Rtts Safety Joint: The Reliable Solution For Contingency String Recovery
OVERVIEW
The RTTS® safety joint is a recommended backoff device that helps prevent
unintentional operations. In the event that the lower string becomes stuck during
operations, the safety joint will release the workstring and tools.
OPERATION
The RTTS safety joint is run immediately above the RTTS packer to allow for
optimized recovery of the workstring.
Before the safety joint can be used, a tension sleeve located on the bottom of
the lug mandrel must first be parted by pulling up on the workstring. This tension
sleeve must be considered whenever additional tools or workstring is run below
the packer. Excessive weight can cause unexpected parting of this sleeve during
the tool make up process.
After the tension sleeve has parted, the safety joint is released by right-hand
torque, while the workstring is reciprocated a specified number of cycles.
By incorporating the RTTS safety joint in your workstring, you can help ensure that
even if your bottomhole assembly becomes stuck in the well, it can be recovered
safely and efficiently with minimum downtime. HAL121623
