Product Overview
The Flow Activated Releasable Spear is a differential pressure actuated releasable internal retrieval fishing spear specially developed for coiled tubing downhole workover salvage operations of recovering cylindrical tubular downhole fish assemblies.
This internal fishing spear adopts a simplified integral mechanical structural layout with outstanding overall structural robustness and mechanical strength, capable of bearing complex downhole impact loads and long-term circulating fluid erosion during fishing construction. For release operation after finishing cylindrical tubular fish salvage tasks, the tool adopts a pure fluid throttling differential pressure actuation release design, completely eliminating the need for auxiliary shear pins or operation drop balls required by traditional releasable internal fishing spears. When surface pump circulates working fluid through the internal precision throttling nozzles of the fishing spear, fluid throttling generates stable differential pressure drop, the pressure difference force will push the tool’s internal mandrel assembly to move downward, driving multiple groups of internal grapple slip sets to retract inward to fully release the locked internal cylindrical tubular fish downhole tool assembly.
The core flexible matching advantage of this fishing spear lies in its multiple interchangeable grapple slip size specifications: construction personnel can replace different inner diameter grapple slip assemblies to match cylindrical tubular fish with various inner diameter sizes, realizing flexible adaptation to different tubular fish dimension construction demands without replacing the entire fishing spear body.
The Flow Activated Releasable Spear is widely applicable to all coiled tubing downhole workover construction scenarios involving salvage recovery of internal cylindrical tubular downhole fish assemblies, including fallen tubing sections, bridge plug inner barrels, packer internal mandrels and other cylindrical tubular junk components.
The standardized product lineup covers outer diameter sizes ranging from 1-11/16" to 3-5/8", with unified fixed closed make-up length specifications, equipped with standard 1"AMMT, 1-1/2"AMMT, 2-3/8"PAC and NC26 bottom connection threads for universal compatibility with mainstream coiled tubing connectors and other downhole fishing workover service tools. Custom outer diameter, internal throttling nozzle flow passage size and interchangeable grapple slip inner diameter specification customization are available upon customer technical drawing submission.

Core Features & Advantages
Simplified Robust Integral Mechanical Structural Design: Compact streamlined integral mechanical layout with optimized high-strength alloy structural cross-section, outstanding overall structural rigidity and impact load resistance, capable of enduring repeated lifting and impact loads during downhole fishing operations, resistant to long-term completion fluid and formation circulating fluid erosion, effectively extending service life and reducing on-site mechanical failure risks.
Pure Flow Differential Pressure Actuated Release Mechanism, Zero Shear Pin / Drop Ball Dependency: The tool relies entirely on circulating fluid throttling pressure drop to trigger release action, no shear pins that risk premature shear failure or operation drop balls that risk wellbore jamming are required, eliminating two major common failure risks of traditional releasable internal fishing spears and greatly improving construction operation reliability.
Multiple Interchangeable Grapple Slip Size Specifications: Complete series of replaceable internal grapple slip assemblies with different inner diameter dimension options, construction crews can swap corresponding grapple slip sets to match cylindrical tubular fish with various inner diameter sizes, realizing flexible adaptation to different tubular fish dimension construction demands without whole-tool replacement, reducing tool inventory cost and construction preparation time.
Simple Stable Mandrel Downward Retraction Release Structure: Internal mandrel assembly driven by differential pressure drop moves linearly downward to synchronously retract multiple groups of internal grapple slip sets inward, the mechanical transmission path is short and direct with few moving friction components, low wear and low failure rate, ensuring stable and reliable release action after reaching the set circulating flow threshold.
Low Wellsite Operation Threshold, Simplified Construction Procedures: Two core operation processes are highly simplified: 1) Cylindrical fish capture: run the spear into the inner bore of cylindrical tubular fish, apply upward pull load to expand internal grapple slips for locking and grabbing; 2) Cylindrical fish release: adjust surface pump circulating flow to reach preset release flow rate to complete grapple slip retraction and fish release action. No complex auxiliary operation steps such as drop ball delivery or shear pin impact jarring are needed, shortening wellsite operation time and reducing human error risks.
Full Outer Diameter Size Compatibility: Standard product series covers 1-11/16", 2-1/8", 2-1/2", 2-7/8", 3-1/8" and 3-5/8" outer diameter specifications, fully compatible with global mainstream medium-size coiled tubing assemblies for all internal cylindrical tubular downhole fish salvage intervention demands.
Multi-Type Standard Thread Compatibility: All product models are equipped with universal 1"AMMT, 1-1/2"AMMT, 2-3/8"PAC and NC26 bottom connection threads, realizing seamless assembly with global mainstream coiled tubing bottom-hole assemblies and other supporting fishing workover tools without extra conversion subs.
Precision CNC High-Strength Alloy Manufacturing: Adopts precision CNC machining integral tool body, internal differential pressure throttling nozzle assembly, mandrel linear transmission matching components and interchangeable internal cylindrical fish clamping grapple slip sets, featuring outstanding circulating fluid erosion resistance, repeated differential pressure actuation cycle fatigue resistance and structural stability, extending long-term continuous internal cylindrical tubular fish salvage retrieval service life for downhole workover operations.
