, LTD Full Hydraulic Drilling Jar Type QY FULL HYDRAULIC DRILLING JAR TYPE QY 1. GENERAL Full hydraulic drilling jar type QY is a kind of unfreezing tool for downhole drilling tools when they get stuck. Namely, it is an integral hydraulic jar with up jarring and down jarring. When downhole drilling tools are stuck, the jar can provide a huge impact to unfreeze with up jarring or down jarring, thus normal drilling operation can be recovered quickly. When the jar is used, operators can adjust to picking up it or slacking off it on surface to create up jarring impact or down jarring impact (without adjustment to the torque or outside part) and adjust impact from very small range to the biggest range. The jar can be operated easily and conveniently with high reliability and applied to drill, core, fish, workover, etc. downhole activities. 2. BASIC STRUCTURE The basic structure of the full hydraulic drilling jar type QY is shown in Fig. 1. Full hydraulic drilling jar type QY is mainly consists of drill pipe mandrel, upper mandrel, neutral mandrel, lower mandrel, drive hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, upper hydraulic cylinder, neutral hydraulic cylinder, lower hydraulic cylinder, piston, valve body, valve core, sealing part, etc. 3. WORKING PRINCIPLE 3.1 Principle of up jarring The up jarring is realized through picking up the drill string to create up jarring load. Along with the jar operates up jarring to damping construction, the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic chamber is pressed and can produce suppression pressure to make drill string store energy. When up jarring reaches a certain stroke, suppression pressure oil suddenly offloads, thus the stored energy in drill string is released and then the up jar impact is produced. 3.2 Principle of down jarring Different from the principle of up jarring, the one of down jarring is realized through slacking off the drill string to create down jarring load. The process of storing energy of drill string for down jarring is the same as that of up jarring. That means the stored energy in drill string is released and then the down jar impact is produced. 4. SPECIFICATION The specification and performance parameter of the jar is shown in Table 1. 1

5. USAGE AND OPERATION
5.1 Usage 5.1.1 Before lowering into well, the jar should be taken surface test first. After tested, only qualified jar can be used. 5.1.2 Check if each fill plug of the jar is tightened. 5.1.3 Check if collar clamp is removed from the hydraulic drilling jar. 5.1.4 The jar and drill collar or heavy drill pipe can be assembled to be a stand, but they should be connected at the top of the stand. 5.1.5 The jar is befittingly connected and placed at upper section of neutralization point of the integral drilling assembly to make the jar in tension. 5.1.6 O.D. of the jar should less than or equal to the diameter of drill collar and lower drilling assembly. 5.2 Operation 5.2.1 Up jarring operation Apply pull to the drill string per the established final weight indicator reading, then wait for the hydraulic drilling jar to impact. Then slack off the drill pipe for reposition and repeat this operation. Up jar load=Final weight indicator reading up before impactworking string weight above the jar 5.2.2 Down jarring operation Apply pull to the drill string per the established final weight indicator reading, then wait for the hydraulic drilling jar to impact. Then pick up the drill pipe for reposition and repeat this operation.

Full Hydraulic Drilling Jar Type QY Down jar load=Final weight indicator reading down before impactworking string weight above the jar 5.2.3 Notice that when the jar is working in downhole, the load impacted on the jar by picking up or slacking off is not permitted to be larger than max. working load designed to withstand (see table 1). 5.2.4 When tripping out, the jar should be in complete tension. Collar clamp should be assembled to drill pipe mandrel at wellhead, and then be removed from drilling set to prevent knocking. 6. MAINTENANCE 6.1 Disassembly 6.1.1 Before the jar is disassembled, its inside and outside should be cleaned. 6.1.2 The jar should be in complete tension. Remove the fill plug from upper hydraulic cylinder and lower hydraulic cylinder and release oil. Notice that safety is important for the operation of removing fill plug. Do not make the fill plug directed at people. First loose the screw a little and watch till there is no high pressure oil, and then remove the fill plug completely and withdrawal hydraulic oil. 6.1.3 The jar should be in complete tension. Loose the screw joint with disassembly& assembly equipment. 6.1.4 Clamp lower hydraulic cylinder with pliers. Remove the sub and take off sealing parts. 6.1.5 Change clamping position, use pliers to clamp lower short sub to remove hydraulic cylinder, collect remained hydraulic oil and take off sealing parts. 6.1.6 Change clamping position, use chain wrench to clamp drill pipe mandrel, remove mandrel to take off sealing parts, disassemble pressure cap, valve core and valve body, and then drive drill pipe mandrel to be in a completely close state. 6.1.7 Change clamping position, use pliers to clamp neutral hydraulic cylinder, and remove lower short sub and take off sealing parts. 6.1.8 Change clamping position, use pliers to clamp upper short sub, remove neutral hydraulic cylinder, and take off neutral piston and sealing parts. 6.1.9 Change clamping position, use chain wrench to clamp drill pipe mandrel, disassemble neutral mandrel, remove sealing parts and collect remained hydraulic oil. 6.1.10 Change clamping position, use pliers to clamp upper hydraulic cylinder, remove upper short sub and take off sealing parts. 6.1.11 Change clamping position, use pliers to clamp drill pipe mandrel, apply special 4

The disassembly work is finished. 6.2 Assembly 6.2.1 Before assembly, all parts to be assembled should be cleaned and smeared with a flat of thin lubricating oil. All thread joint should be smeared with screwed oil. Main parts bearing force should be dealt with inspection. Parts with burr or scratch should be checked and repaired. Especially, each thread and hydraulic cylinder should be checked with damage or not. Parts with crack or damaged parts which can not be repaired as well as sealing parts should be changed. 6.2.2 When the jar is assembled, its order for assembly should be opposite to its disassembly. Note that when the mandrel is assembled, special tools should be used to assemble it and tighten it. 6.2.3 After assembly, place the jar to tighten on the tightening equipment. Tightening torque of thread of each part is shown in table 2. 6.2.4 Fill lubricating grease in drive hydraulic cylinder chamber. Fill #20 wear-resisting hydraulic oil in upper hydraulic cylinder oil chamber and lower hydraulic cylinder oil chamber and tighten all fill plugs. The assembly work is ended. 6.2.5 The jar should be periodically repaired and changed with accessories according to hole condition. Take the shortest time between tool recommendation lists of table 3 and table 4 as periodic time for repairing and changing accessories. 6.2.6 The aging period of rubber sealing parts is 18 months. When repaired, recommendation tools should be changed with new rubber sealing parts. Table 2 Connection Position Model

7. SURFACE TEST 7.1 Tools should be given surface test before run in the well. Connect both ends of the jar filled with oil to test sub, and adjust the speed of reciprocating linear movement of piston rod of test equipment to about 680mm/min. Place the jar on test equipment, and open or close it no less than 3 times. Load-carrying testing valve should be in accordance with the prescription of table 5. 7.2 Seal Test Connect both ends of the jar to seal test sub. Take seal test of water hole with oil or clean water. The pressure of water hole 30MPa should be stable for 5 minutes and the pressure drop should not be more than 0.5 MPa.
