Down Hole Tools Or Equipments:

Mule Shoe:-
It is the guide shoe at the bottom of the well. This tool guides the survey tool which then can be
properly aligned with the bent sub. Also known as wire line re-entry guide.
No-Go Nipple:-
A no-go nipple is a short tubular device which has a small shoulder located within the internal bore of
the nipple. The purpose of this tool is to prevent wire line tools from falling out of the end of tubing,
if dropped.
Perforated Joint:-
A perforated joint may be used in the completion string for the purpose of providing bypass flow if
bottom hole pressure & temperature gauges are used for reservoir monitoring.
Swage Nipple: Swage Nipple is like a cross over which provides connection between MOE and
tubing joint. It has Pin on one side that is connected with tubing and pin on the other side that
provides connection with MOE because MOE has box on both ends.
Mill out Extension (MOE): Mill out Extension (MOE) is used in milling operation. It has greater
OD and ID than SBE and can be latched with fishing tool.
Landing Nipple:-
Landing nipples are used at various points in the completion string depending on their functional
requirement.Common functions for landing nipple are:
i) Installation points for setting plugs for pressure testing, setting hydraulic-set packers. Ii) Installation
point for SSSV.iii) Installation point for bottom hole pressure & temperature gauges.
Flow Couplings:-
Flow couplings are thick walled tubular. These are made of high grade alloy steel usually supplied in
10, 15 & 20ft length. The purpose of this component is that where ever turbulence occurs, it prevents
loss of tubing string integrity & mechanical strength due to internal erosion directly above or below
the component.
Blast Joint:-
It is available in 10-20ft and is placed in the tubing string adjacent to perforations. The thick walls of
this tube resist the erosive blast of fluid from the formation, which often carries abrasive solid
particles.
Seal Bore Extension:-
It is a installed below the packer & is used where a longer seal assembly is needed. The seal bore
extension provide sufficient seal bore length so that long seal assemblies may be used to
accommodate tubing movement.
Locator Seal Assembly:-
This equipment has only sealing elements & allows the tubing to slide in the packer. LSA with
production tubing is usually run in after setting of permanent packer. Detail of LSA is as follows:
Mule Shoe Seal Unit Seal Unit Seal Unit SUE Seal Unit
Seal Unit SUE Seal Unit SUE No Go Locator
Seal Unit: Seal Unit of having a seal on it which seats in SBE polished bore assembly. Seal has OD
greater than ID of SBE so while going in SBE, increased pressure indicates the stringing in LSA in
Tail Assembly.
Sliding Sleeve Door:-
It allows communication b/w tubing & annulus. It can also be used for the following purposes:
i)To circulate appropriate kill fluid into the well prior to the work over. Ii)As a production device in a
multi zone completion. Iii)As a contingency that plugging might occur in the upper part of the tubing.
Sub-Surface Safety Valve:-
The purpose of SSSV is to shut off flow from the well in the event of a potentially catastrophic
situation.
These situations might be damage to wellhead, failure of surface equipment, fire at the surface etc.
Tubing Hanger:-
It is a completion component, which sits inside the tubing Head Spool & provides the following
functions:i) Suspends the tubing.ii)Provides a seal b/w the tubing & the tubing head spool.
Pup Joint:-
A joint of pipe of non-standard length, to make up a string of tubular to an exact required total length.
Cross Over:-
Cross over act as an intermediary between two dissimilar threads and are used to connect the two
pipes with different dia.
