Internal & External Catching Tools

Itco-Type releasing spear

Designed to assure positive engagement with the fish, the Itco-Type releasing spear internally engages and retrieves drill casing, tubing, or any other obstruction with up to a 20-in ID. This spear is built to withstand severe jarring and pulling strains, and heavy-duty versions of it can be used with pulling tools for maximum performance. It engages the fish over a large area to minimize damage to or distortion of the fish. Advantages of this spear include

• grapple and wicker design to ensure nearly 360° of engagement
• right-hand rotation release
• sub-type nut available to makeup tools below the spear
• compatibility with jarring assemblies and backoff and pulling tools.

EFL rotating and releasing spear

The EFL rotating and releasing spear ensures fishing operation success by engaging the bore of the fish in situations where external catch tools are not feasible, such as when fishing drillpipe, casing, or tubing. The spear features a full bore to facilitate the use of wireline equipment during the fishing operation. It also

• disassembles into five separate components for onsite service
• resets to catch position downhole with one full left-hand rotation
• reduces maintenance costs
• can transmit torque.
