In the demanding world of oil and gas drilling operations, encountering debris and lost equipment downhole is a common challenge that can halt operations and cost thousands of dollars per hour. To maintain efficiency and minimize downtime, having the right fishing tools is critical. One such essential tool is the junk basket fishing tool—a specialized device designed to retrieve small debris and lost components from the wellbore.
At JOT Oilfield Services LLC, we understand the importance of effective fishing operations in maintaining drilling efficiency across the UAE, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. Our range of fishing tools, including various types of junk baskets, reflects decades of engineering expertise and real-world performance.
A junk basket fishing tool is a downhole instrument designed to capture small debris, broken tool parts, and foreign objects from the wellbore during drilling or workover operations. These tools operate by creating zones of reduced annular velocity that allow particles to settle into the basket’s collection chamber while maintaining circulation.
Its primary function is to prevent debris from interfering with operations or damaging downhole equipment. Strategically placed in the drill string, these tools proactively collect debris before more complex retrieval operations become necessary.
Widely used for debris recovery. Features a tungsten carbide mill shoe and internal catchers that trap debris.
Applications:
Operation Summary:
Utilize vacuum forces to draw in debris, ideal for hard formations. Eliminates need for core cutting.
Advantages:
Installed above bits or mills to collect debris during drilling.
Features:
Effective in soft to medium formations. Combines core-type functionality with enhanced debris retention.
Custom-designed for unique debris challenges, often single-use.
Features:
Captures components like bit inserts, stabilizer fragments, and more to prevent accumulation.
Collects steel cuttings, cement fragments, and corrosion products.
Removes scale and debris before new equipment installation or after retrieval.
Used during or after major fishing operations to prevent secondary debris and aid in cleanup.
We offer:
Junk basket fishing tools are vital for maintaining wellbore integrity and operational efficiency. From routine cleanups to complex debris recovery, these tools help prevent minor issues from becoming major setbacks.
