Continuous Cutting Overshot (Snipper)

The Continuous Cutting Overshot (also known as the Snipper Overshot) is used to cut and retrieve continuous coiled tubing that have been parted, stuck, and/or abandoned in the wellbore. The tool consists of a Top Sub, Bowl, Guide, Shearable Bowl, Grapple, and Cutting Grapple.

Operation

The Continuous Cutting Overshot is attached on the fishing string, lowered to the top of the fish and then stripped over to the desired depth. To initiate the cut, simply pick up on the work string to set the grapple and shear the shear screws. This will force the cutting grapple into the fish, shearing it in two and leaving a clean top for further retrieval or entry for wireline equipment. The overpull to cut the coil is only 25-30% of the yield of the tubing being cut.

Note: Assembly consisting of: Top Sub, Bowl, Guide, Shearable Bowl, Shear Screws.
