| The Gotco Core Type Junk Basket is a junk retrieval tool designed to retrieve all types of objects from the bottom of the well bore. This easy-to-use tool removes such items as slips, hand tools, and bit cones. The basic assembly consists of a top sub, barrel, type A mill shoe, upper and lower catchers. |
Assembly and Operation | | Make up the core basket to the bottom of the string and run it in the hole to a popint several feet from the bottom. With direct circulation, the coring action on the junk proceeds until a 24 inch core is cut. The fingers in the upper catcher break the core when an upward strain is applied to the string. the lower catcher finger then form a close-fitting basket that traps the core with its retrieved junk. As in the other junk basket designs, they are free to resolve within the shoe, thus eliminating finger breakage. |
Optional Components and Accessories | Three types of milling shoes are available for all core-type basket systems:- Type A shoe with side wings.
- Type B shoe with hard-faced Gotcoloy sintered tungsten carbide.
- Type C shoe with flat bottom and Gotcoloy on inner and outer faces.
Magnet Inserts - A magnet insert can be used in place of the catcher assesblies, thus converting the tool to a fishing magnet.
Finger Shoe - A finger shoe is used to retrieve junk that may be too large to enter the catchers. |
