Abstract:
A jarring tool that includes a first portion and a second portion. An impact point is located between the first portion and the second portion. The jarring tool has an internal energy source that generates an internal force to move one of the portions or an inner mass to cause a jarring force.
Abstract:
A cable containing a conductive outer layer and methods for manufacturing the conductive outer layer and the cable are provided. A cable may include a cable core and a plurality of armor wire strength members that surround the cable core. The cable may also include a conductive outer layer disposed about the plurality of armor wire strength members that physically contacts at least one armor wire strength member of the plurality of armor wire strength members.
Abstract:
A method for prolonging a wellbore cable life that includes pulling a cable from a wellbore. The method can also include cleaning the cable as the cable is pulled out of the wellbore. The method can also include applying a fluid to the cable as the cable is pulled out of the wellbore.

Abstract:
A method of generating force in a wellbore includes setting an anchor on a body of a force generating device. The method also includes moving an actuator rod of the force generating device and apply tension to a cable connected with the actuator rod, wherein the force generated by the force generating device is the sum of the tension on the cable and the force generated by the force generation device.
Abstract:
Roller devices for passively or actively aiding in the conveyance of a toolstring through a well. The well may be of tortuous architecture and include a host of different corrosives. However, the roller devices are equipped with a cylindrical bearing based mechanism such as a journal bearing. Thus, these devices may be substantially less prone to exposure to corrosives. For example, they may be provided in a substantially monolithic circumferential form more readily shielded and/or isolated from such direct exposure.
