WIRELINE TOOLS
ACT Wireline Stems or Weight Bar or sometimes referred as Sinker Bar provides the weight required to deliver impacts in wireline operations and to overcome the force created by well pressure on the cross section of the wireline. ACT Lead Filled Stems are used to provide additional weight to the tool string, without a change in & length. These are normally used in well bores with high pressures, to counter the force created by well pressure on the cross section of the wireline. However, these should not be used for heavy jarring.
ACT Rope Sockets are used to securely attach wireline / slickline to the tool string. They are available in four types. The ACT Releasable Rope Socket is designed to release in the event when a wirline / slickline toolstring cannot be recovered from the wellbore. The ACT Wireline Cutter is used to cut the wirline near the rope socket when the down hole tools have become stuck and can’t be retrieved from the well. The wireline cutter is run down under its own weight guided by the line.
The ACT Wireline Snipper is used to cut the wirline near the rope socket when the down hole tools have become stuck and can’t be retrieved from the well. The wireline snipper is run down under its own weight guided by the line. The ACT Wire Finder is used during wireline fishing operations to locate the top of a broken wireline and retrieve it from the well bore. The fingers of the wireline retriever press against the tubing wall and locate the top of the broken wireline, and direct it up inside the finder.

ROPE SOCKETS
WEDGE TYPE, SPOOL TYPE & SLIP TYPE
ACT Rope Sockets are used to securely attach wireline / slickline to the tool string. They are available in four types.
Wedge Type: The Wedge Type or Pear Drop Type with a sleeve utilises a brass wedge to keep the wireline attached within the Rope Socket. The Rope Socket assembly consists of a body with an external fishing neck, a sleeve and a brass
Spool Type: The Spool Type or Disc and Spring Type consists of a body with an external fishing neck, a spring, a spring support and a disc. The line is fastened to the grooved disc around its
Slip Type: The Slip Type is designed for use with small braided lines up to 5/16″. It consists of a body with an external fishing neck, a carriage, slips, a set screw and a bottom sub. The slips are designed to break the line at a specific percentage of the line tensile
CLAMP TYPE
The Clamp Type consists of a body with an external fishing neck, a clamp, a set screw and a bottom sub. The line is placed in-between the clamps and secured using set screws.
RELEASABLE ROPE SOCKETS
The ACT Releasable Rope Socket is designed to release in the event when a wirline / slickline toolstring cannot be recovered from the wellbore.
The trigger device is activated by a drop bar, which is dropped down the wire in a similar manner to a Go-Devil or wireline snipper. When the drop bar contacts the release trigger, the collet releases the lower fishing neck. The upper housing and drop bar are retrieved to surface leaving a clean fishing neck.
A Releasable Rope Socket is multi-functional in that it can be used with both slickline and braided line merely by changing the internal clamping mechanism.
A trigger disassembly tool is supplied which doubles as a gauge confirming correct assembly.
Features:
- Secondary fishing neck for recovery
- Roller and standard drop bars available
- Field redressable
Benefits:
- Eases fishing operations by leaving a clean fishing neck after activation
- Reduces operational cost and risk during wireline operations
Applications:
- Standard and high angle operations.
STEMS
Wireline Stems(Weight Bars): ACT Wireline Stems or Weight Bar or sometimes referred as Sinker Bar provides the weight required to deliver impacts in wireline operations and to overcome the force created by well pressure on the cross section of the wireline.
Lead Filled Stems: ACT Lead Filled Stems are used to provide additional weight to the tool string, without a change in & length. These are normally used in well bores with high pressures, to counter the force created by well pressure on the cross section of the wireline. However, these should not be used for heavy jarring.
Tungsten Filled Stems: Functionally same as the wireline stem and the lead filled stem, ACT Tungsten filled stem provide more weight than the lead filled stems. However these should not be used for heavy jarring operations.
MAGNETIC FISHING TOOLS
Magnetic Fishing Tool: The ACT Magnetic Fishing Tool is used to remove small pieces of metals from the top of tools.
Wireline Fishing Magnet: The ACT Fishing Magnet is used to remove small pieces of metals from the top of tools and also to retrieve metallic scale.
SKATE SYSTEM
The ACT Skate System transports the toolstring into deviated wells. Advantages include continuos wheel contact with the tubing wall in any orientation, and reduced friction.
Features:
- 360-degree roller orientation eliminating the requirements for swivel joints.
- Clearance between wheel and cavity to eliminate the ingress of debris.
- Profiled wheels for easier traversing of tubing wall debris.
- No wheel axle locking screws, seals or pins for easy maintenance.
- Minimum requirement of two skates per toolstring, dependent upon application
JARS
Spang Link Jars/Mechanical Jars: ACT Spang Link / Mechanical Jars utilise the weight of the stems connected immediately above to deliver powerful jarring impacts, by manipulating the wireline upwards or downwards. They are composed of two sections linked together which are free to extend or collapse.
The effect of the jarring impact depends on the weight of the stems used, the length of the stroke, tubing size and deviation, fluid viscosity, well pressure acting on the cross section area of wireline and the speed of the wireline movement.
Wireline Tubular Jars: Functionally same as Spang Link Jars, ACT Tubular Jars are used during fishing operations when the jarring action of standard spang link jars could be obstructed by wire, debris or other foreign matter in the tubing. It can also be used in large tubing or casing where conventional spang link jars tend to lock up and buckle.
Hydraulic Jars: The ACT Hydraulic Jar is designed to deliver a controlled upward impact load during wireline operations. When a strain is taken on the wireline, the top sub and mandrel are pulled upward, while the piston movement is delayed by the hydraulic fluid in the cylinder. This delaying action allows sufficient strain to be taken on the wireline to strike a blow of desired intensity, when the piston passes from the cylinder bore to a larger bore, the jar is then closed to reset and the operation is repeated. Hydraulic jars are run above a spang link jar.
Mechanical Spring Jars: The ACT Mechanical Spring Jar is designed to deliver a very high upward impact load during wireline operations. It is especially useful when working in high pressure gas wells where hydraulic jars are susceptible to seal failure. The spring jar can be adjusted for a predetermined release force, therefore offering the operator a desired force at the tool. The load setting is done with a calibrated box spanner supplied with the spring jar.
A hydraulic load calibration sub is available as an optional extra to allow the operator to set and test the load rating of this spring jar.
IMPRESSION BLOCKS
The ACT Impression Block is used during fishing operations to check the shape / size of the top of fish and to determine appropriate tool for the fishing operation.
CALIBRATOR SUBS
The ACT hydraulic load calibration sub is used to test the spring jar’s load setting at surface. The calibration sub is screwed on to the top sub of the spring jar, with the spring jar in the closed position. When the hydraulic equivalent of the pre-determined force setting of the spring jar has been reached the jar will release.
BLIND BOX
The ACT Blind Box is used when heavy downward jarring is required to dislodge a fish or push down an obstruction encountered in the tubing string.
ACCELERATORS
Heavy Duty Accelerators: ACT Heavy Duty Accelerator is used to run with hydraulic or mechanical spring jar to increase the force generated while jarring upward. Disc springs are used in Heavy Duty Accelerator opposed to helical spring used in conventional accelerator. It delivers a much higher impact force than conventional accelerator. It is installed directly below the Rope Socket.
Wireline Accelerators: ACT Wireline Accelerator is used to run with Hydraulic or Mechanical Spring Jar to increase the force generated while jarring upward. Upward tension on the wireline compresses the spring in the accelerator and the stored energy is transferred to the hydraulic or spring jar located down. When the jar fires, the mass of the stem on the tool string is accelerated up to the point of impact. and thus increases the force generated. It is installed in the tool string directly below the Rope Socket.
TUBING END LOCATOR
The ACT Tubing End Locator is used to locate the end of the tubing. With its spring loaded finger, it can be run in various sizes of tubing ranging from 2-3/8″ to 4-1/2″.
SHOCK ABSORBERS
The ACT Shock Absorber is designed to reduce the impact shock load transmitted to sensitive downhole instruments, while running in the well during wireline operations.
WIRELINE CUTTER
The ACT Wireline Cutter is used to cut the wirline near the rope socket when the down hole tools have become stuck and can’t be retrieved from the well. The wireline cutter is run down under its own weight guided by the line. When it strikes the rope socket of the stuck tool, it cuts the wire and wedges it into its body. Subsequently, the wireline cutter will be retrieved along with the cut wire.
GAUGE CUTTER
Tubing Gauge/Paraffin Cutter: The ACT Tubing Gauge / Paraffin Cutter is run in the hole before running any sub surface equipment. The tubing gauge / paraffin cutter is used to check if there are any obstruction to passage of the sub surface equipment. The bottom of tubing gauge / paraffin cutter is suitable to cut paraffin, scale or other obstacles in the tubing.
Selection of size :
Example:
Nipple bore = 2.25″ No Go ID = 2.197″
The tubbing gauge cutter should be between these two sizes.
*Tubing Gauge / Paraffin Cutters are also available in MM. increments within the specified
O.D. ranges. When ordering , specify the required O.D. in MM ( Inches x 25.4 = MM)
Tubing Gauge Cutter Ring Set: The ACT Gauge Cutter Ring Set is a wireline service tool designed to operate as a standard gauge cutter, but with the added facility of being able to interchange different size gauge cutters on a standard carrier.
ACT gauge cutter ring set is of primary benefit where an operation requires a number of gauge cutters of diameter in a size range. This flexibility means that there is no need to keep a large inventory of different size gauge cutters.
WIRELINE SNIPPER
The ACT Wireline Snipper is used to cut the wirline near the rope socket when the down hole tools have become stuck and can’t be retrieved from the well. The wireline snipper is run down under its own weight guided by the line. The snipper will cut the wire when it strikes the rope socket. The wireline snipper is then fished out of the well by standard fishing tools.
GO-DEVIL

BAILERS
Sample Bailers: ACT Sample Bailer is used to collect samples of debris from the well bore creating obstructions. ACT Sample Bailer are available in two basic designs with ball or flapper shoe. The shoe opens when sample bailer assembly is forced in debris and closes when the sample bailer is forced out.
Dump Bailers: ACT Inverted Dump Bailer is designed to carry heavy viscosity liquids e.g. cement and other fluids to a point in the well bore where they are required i.e. Plugs, Check Valves etc. The dump bailer contents are released from within the bailer’s cylinder by downward jarring. This shears the shear pins and allows a plunger to rapture a shear disc. The contents are then free to flow through the open ended bailer shoes and its ports. The dump bailer is shear pinned to prevent premature rapture of the shear disc. Variable shear pins are available as per customer’s requirement.
Hydrostatic Bailers: The ACT Hydrostatic Bailer is used to remove debris which has settled on top of the subsurface equipment, preventing the recovery of the equipment by regular wireline operations. A hydrostatic bailer is used when debris can not be removed from the well with a sand pump bailer.
Sand Pump Bailers: The ACT Sand Pump Bailer is used to remove the sand and other debris which has settled on top of the sub surface equipment preventing recovery of the equipment by regular wireline operations. It is a pump type tool which operates on a conventional lift pump and piston principle. Sand pump bailers are available with the following types of bottom shoes:
W/ Flat Bottom : For easy bailing of sand.
W/ Angled Bottom : For bailing hard packed sand
W/ Flapper Bottom : For bailing metallic particles which cannot pass through ball & seat
TUBING BROACH
The ACT Tubing Broach is used to remove burrs in the tubing left after perforating and broaching through the restrictions in the tubing. Tubing Broach is also used to remove scale, rust etc, from tubing I.D.
OVERSHOTS
Wireline Overshots: ACT Wireline Overshots are used retrieve a fish lost in the well that does not have a conventional fishing neck or a damaged fishing neck on it. The tool is operated by applying the weight of the tool string on to the fish. This will allow the slips to expand around the fish when the tool string is picked up, the slip will engage the fish. These are non releasable type overshots.
Releasable Overshots: ACT Releasable Overshots are used retrieve a fish lost in the well that does not have a conventional fishing neck or a damaged fishing neck on it. The tool is operated by applying the weight of the tool string on to the fish. This will allow the slips to expand around the fish when the tool string is picked up, the slip will engage the fish. Many overshots cannot be released once they are latched. However the slips of the ACT releasable overshots can be released by downward jarring.
Self-Releasing Overshots: ACT Self-Releasing Overshots are used to fish wireline tools that have no fishing neck as well as damaged wireline tools and sucker rods that cannot be fished with a magnet.
The tool is operated by applying the weight of the tool string on to the fish, which engages the fish. The harder the operator pulls on the overshot, the tighter the grip of the slips on the tool to be fished becomes. Should it proves impossible to free the jammed tool, a safety device permits the overshot to be released by jarring down. Once the overshot has been recovered, it is possible to change the size of the line to obtain a stronger jarring effect.
PARAFFIN SCRATCHERS
The ACT Paraffin Scratcher is used to clean paraffin deposits on the internal diameter of tubing, nipple profile etc.
SPEARS
Wireline Spears: ACT Wireline Spears are used in fishing operations where wire is bundled up badly and a two prong wireline grab can not engage it.

The hardened slip keys are constructed using a dovetail design, for heavy duty operations. Optional engagement stop rings can be supplied on request.
Releasable Collet Bull Dog Spears: ACT Releasable Collet Bull Dog Spear is a heavy duty fishing tool designed for internal engagement of tubular items within wells.
The spear is deployed on a “shear up” pulling tool and engaged into the fish. In the event the fish cannot be pulled, a shear pin located within the pulling tool will shear and release the tool from the spear.
A ‘GR’ pulling tool is then deployed to release and retrieve the spear from the fish. The ‘GR’ tool is used to drive down the central mandrel and engage the internal fishing neck. The Releasable Collet Bull Dog Spear consists of a top sub complete with an internal
fishing neck, a tapered inner mandrel and an inner mandrel top sub complete with an external fishing neck, collet set and spring. Optional engagement stop rings can be supplied on request.
Center Spear: The ACT Center Spear is used to engage broken wireline in the hole when it is in a balled condition. It is used in situations where the broken wire, is badly balled in well bore and can not be engaged by a wireline grab.
WIREFINDER
Wireline Wirefinder: The ACT Wireline Finder is used in wireline fishing operations to locate and ball the upper end of broken wireline in the tubing. When the wire finder has located the end of the broken wire (weight loss witnessed) pressing down a minimal distance will ball the broken wire in the well bore. The wireline can than be engaged by a wireline grab and retrieved.
Solid Wirefinder: ACT Solid Wirefinder is used to bend or ball the uppermost part of the broken wireline. The wire can then be engaged by a wireline grab and retrieved.
ALLIGATOR GRABS
The ACT Alligator Grab is a wireline fishing tool used to catch and retrieve loose objects from within the well bore. The grab is designed to allow the operator to set the amount of jaw pressure required by adjusting the spring tension of the tool prior to running into the well.
Note that the Alligator Grab is not designed to withstand heavy jarring operations in the event that the jaws have gripped onto any ‘fish’. Alligator Grabs are available in various sizes and come with fishing necks and pin threads.
WIRELINE RETRIEVER
The ACT Wire Finder is used during wireline fishing operations to locate the top of a broken wireline and retrieve it from the well bore.

UNIVERSAL PULLING TOOL: The ACT Universal Pulling Tool is a combination of the conventional shear up and shear down type pulling tools. It is used to engage and retrieve equipment with external fishing necks. This has a universal core which allows the same tool to be able to retrieve devices with fishing necks of different lengths or reach (i.e., short, medium and long reach).
Benefits:
The tool can be converted from ‘shear up’ to ‘shear down’ mode without the need of any additional parts.
It does the same job of two different types of pulling tools i.e., ‘JD’ or ‘JU’ Series, or ‘R’ or ‘S’ Series. (See page no. 66-68)
The universal core can be pinned in the short, medium, or long reach position without the need to purchase additional cores.
The shear pin can be replaced without disassembly of the pulling tool.
ANTI BLOW-UP TOOL
The ACT Anti Blow Up Tool is a wireline service tool designed to be used as part of the toolstring when downhole instruments are to be deployed in a multi zone completion well. The Anti Blow Up Tool will help to prevent a toolstring being blown up the production string when the flow rates between zones have sufficient force to push the toolstring upwards.
When the lower part of the toolstring starts to lift, two arms of the tool are thrown outward to lock into the tubing wall, stopping any further upward movement. To release the arms, you simply pick up the wireline which lifts the upper body of the tool and closes the arms, releasing the tool. The Anti Blow Up Tool is available to fit tubing sizes from 2-3/8” through to 5-1/2”.

RUNNING TOOLS
“RX” Running Tool: The ACT “RX” Running Tool sets X, XN, R, RN, and RQ Locking Mandrels in the top type X, XN, R, RN and RQ landing nipples. This tool is generally used for installing safety valves in the uppermost landing nipple. With this tool, the lock mandrel may be run with the keys in the control or locating positions. The lock mandrel keys act as a no-go to locate the nipple rather than the dogs on the running tool. When a non-no-go lock is being run, the keys must be run in the locating position and the lock must be set in the first nipple in the bore of that lock. The position of a snap ring in the tool gives a positive indication when the lock is fully set.
‘W’ Running Tool: The ACT ‘W’ Running Tool sets type B, C and W slip type mandrels in the tubing. The W Running Tool consists of a top sub complete with a fishing neck and sucker rod pin connection, a middle sub, a bottom sub, a collet set and an inner core.
When the desired setting depth has been reached the tools are picked up to set the slips and expand the rubber element. Once set, the pin in the W Running Tool can be sheared and the prong can be withdrawn from behind the collet, allowing the running tool to release from the mandrel.
‘X & R’ Running Tool: The ACT X and R Running Tools are used to set model ‘X’, ‘XN’, ‘R’, ‘RN’ and ‘RQ’ Lock Mandrels in their respective landing nipples. The X and R Running Tool can be set up to run either in selective or non-selective mode. In selective mode the lock mandrel can be run through several landing nipples of the same size and type before selecting the desired nipple to set the lock mandrel. In non-selective mode, the lock mandrel will locate the first corresponding nipple.
‘C-1’ Running Tool: The ACT ‘C-1’ Running Tool is used to run ACT flow control devices that have an external fishing neck. It has a box down connection for attaching a Model ‘A’ or ‘N-1’ shank. The Model ‘A’ shank is used to keep the dogs of the Model ‘S’, ‘W’, and ‘Z’ locks in a retracted position while running. The Model N-1 shank is used to keep the dogs retracted in Model ‘G’ and ‘R’ locks while running.
