Hydraulic mechanical drilling jar

Can be used for both drilling and fishing operations
Ability to create shock loads/forces in two directions (up-down)
Stability of hydraulic delay time over the entire operating temperature range
Increased ID of the inner hole for the passage of probes of MWD systems
Cost effective and highly robust design
Simply to service and maintain
In-house visco jets designed and developed for maximum efficiency and cost control
The HMJ is normally operated in the latched position to reduce unexpected jarring while drilling and eliminate movement between jar components, increasing service life.
The spline drive and latch mechanism are enclosed in a single, sealed oil chamber without ports to the annulus. Such ports on other jars may fill with cuttings and restrict the down jar stroke.
With the latch mechanism in the latched position, the inner mandrel and outer housing act integrally, virtually eliminating seal and inner tool wear during normal drilling conditions. There is no need to extend or open the jar before running in the hole.
The HMJ can be run in tension or in compression within the preset latch setting.
General Description
Hydraulic mechanical Jar (HMJ) is a double acting jar, designed to deliver hydraulic delay when jarring in the up direction, and mechanical release when jarring in the down direction.

The HMJ incorporates a latch mechanism to keep the jar locked in the neutral position and eliminate unexpected jarring while tripping or racking on the derrick.

The built-in mechanical latch keeps the jar locked in a neutral position, which prevents stroking of the jar downhole and unintentional firing of the jar while drilling or tripping. When latched, the mandrel and housing act integrally, eliminating seal and inner-tool wear. The latch eliminates the need for a safety collar and special handling/precautions on the rig floor.

The hydraulic valve provides delay when jarring up, allowing drillers to vary overpull and control impact force. The valve resides in its own oil seal chamber for increased reliability, and a robust metering device controls delay times across operating temperatures.

Down strokes use the mechanical part of the jar, while upward strokes use the hydraulic part with hydraulic delay. The mechanical latch actuation force can be adjusted and set during the jar assembly upon customer request.
