HALLIBURTON
SUBSURFACE SLICKLINE TOOLS
SLICKLINE SERVICE TOOLS
The famous Otis®-designed and manufactured slickline
service tools have been the benchmark for the industry Wireline Socket
and are a requirement for all tool boxes worldwide.
Known for dependable performance and low mainte-
nance costs, these service tools can help reduce your total
operating costs. As the OEM (original equipment manu-
facturer), Halliburton continues to provide high-quality
slickline service tools.
SLICKLINE TOOL STRING Stem
A wireline tool string attached to a wireline is used to
furnish the mechanical force necessary for setting,
pulling, or servicing subsurface equipment under
pressure without killing the well. Tool strings are avail-
able in various ODs and component lengths designed to
be compatible with various tubing sizes.
Otis Rope Sockets provide a means for connecting the
CN03560
wireline to the tool string. The wireline is tied around a
disc or dart in the socket to achieve a firm connection.
Otis Stems are used as weight to overcome stuffing- Otis®
box packing friction and well pressure on the cross- Rope Socket
sectional area of the wireline. The stem can also
transmit force either upward or downward to set or
retrieve subsurface controls. Size and weight of the
stem are determined by the impact force required and
the size of the subsurface control to be run or pulled.
For normal conditions, five feet of 1 ½-in. OD stem is
made up by combining 2, 3, or 5 ft (0.61, 0.91, 1.22 m)
lengths of standard stem. For high-pressure applica-
tions when additional weight is needed, lead or Jars
mallory-filled stems are available.

Otis® Accelerators are used with and just above
hydraulic jars for shallow, weighty jarring. Accelerators
help maintain constant pull as the hydraulic jars begin
to open. The accelerator inhibits pulling the wireline
out of the wireline socket at these shallow depths.
Otis Knuckle Joints have a special ball and socket
design allowing angular movement between the jars
and the running or pulling tool to help align them with
the tubing. Knuckle joints are important if the tubing is
corkscrewed and when wireline work is done in a
directional hole. In these conditions, joints are used at
every connection in the tool string. Where stem and jars
will not align or move freely, tool operation may be
impossible; however, the knuckle joint inhibits the
wireline tools from hanging up.
Otis Jars are available in mechanical and hydraulic
types. With a set of mechanical jars below the stem, the
CN03562
CN03563
weight of the jars and stem can be used to jar-up or
down by pulling and releasing the wireline. A
Halliburton Wireline Specialist can easily feel the jars
Otis® Otis®
and manipulate the wireline. Hydraulic jars are de-
Knuckle Joint Blind Box
signed to provide jarring action in wells in which it is
difficult to obtain good jarring action with mechanical
jars. Hydraulic jars, which allow an upward impact
only, are usually run just above the regular mechanical
jars. They require careful maintenance for maximum
use in the tool string. Jar operation is monitored by a
weight indicator.
Otis B Blind Box serves as the impact point when
downward jarring operations are required.
