 Bowen Series II Tool Catcher

Bowen Series II Tool Catcher

The Bowen Tool Catcher is designed to catch the fishing neck of the tool
string if the wireline is inadvertently parted. The catcher assembly is fail-safe
while in the catch position. Hydraulic pressure is only needed to release the
fishing neck.
Bowen’s unique design utilizes four spring-loaded pawls to catch the fishing
neck. This proven design will engage fishing neck sizes ranging from 1" thru
13⁄4" O.D. without changing parts. The Bowen Tool Catcher is the most compact,
lightest designed tool catcher currently on the market.
The Tool Catcher is available in two models: a union upper connection by
union bottom connection design and a flow tube integral ball check valve
upper connection by union bottom connection design. The integration of the
tool catcher and ball check valve significantly reduces the overall height.
The customer will also realize a price reduction by purchasing the integrated
assembly as opposed to purchasing two separate assemblies.

Features
• Lightweight and compact design (shorter stack height).
• Catches 1" to 13⁄4" (nominal) fish neck without modifying
catch mechanism.
• Single-action spring actuated catch mechanism
ensures positive engagement.
• Integral ball check and flow tube connection for reduction
in height and weight (optional)
• 5,000 psi to 15,000 psi working pressure.

 Bowen Series II
Safety Ball Check Valves

Bowen Safety Ball Check Valve

The Bowen Safety Ball Check Valve is one of many redesigned tools devel-
oped and manufactured by Bowen for wireline applications. These check valves
are automatic pressure shutoff valves designed for use with wireline lubricators.
The check valve is located near the upper end of the lubricator, just below the
pack-off assembly. If the wireline is broken and blown out, or accidentally
pulled from the lubricator, the well pressure will be safely shut in by the Safety
Ball Check Valve.
The redesigned Safety Ball Check Valve is available with specified union
connections compatible with either standard or H2S service union assemblies.

Features
• Low actuation pressure.
• Fail-safe automatic closure.
• Compact design.
• Easy to install ball check housing.
• 5,000 psi to 15,000 psi working pressure.
• H2S or standard service.

 Bowen Series II
Grease Injection Control Heads

Bowen Grease Injection Control Heads

In wireline operations where high pressure exists, reduction of wellhead pressure
applied to the pack-off rubbers is essential to reduce the friction on the wireline
to a minimum, and to effect a complete seal. Maintaining a complete seal is of
prime importance where the operation being performed will not tolerate the loss
of fluid, or where loss of fluid and gases would present a major hazard, such as
on offshore rigs or near populated areas.
The Bowen Grease Injection Control Head was specifically designed
to perform this wireline sealing function in the most efficient and economical
manner available. It will maintain a complete seal, with zero loss of fluid or
spray (a must when working with high pressure and H2S).

Lightweight Grease Injection Control Head

122
 Bowen Series II
Grease Injection Control Heads

The Bowen Grease Injection Control Heads are available with single pack-off
and dual pack-offs, and most are available with top connections for adding
a Bowen Line Wiper. The use of additional pack-offs or line wipers are for
conditions that require added sealing or cable cleaning.
The Bowen Grease Injection Control Heads are supplied with a flow tube pin
connection down for rigging up to various types and sizes of connections. For
well pressures from 5,000 psi to 10,000 psi, three flow tubes are generally used.
For pressures higher than 10,000 psi, four or more tubes are used. Additional
flow tubes can be added if well or operating conditions demand it. Specify type
of lower connection and measured line size to assure proper flow tube fit.

 Bowen Line Wipers

Bowen Line Wipers

Bowen Line Wipers are designed to wipe wirelines clean and to prevent
loss of well fluids as these wirelines are removed from oil wells. Line Wipers
are also used (in low pressure wells) to seal or “pack-off” around stranded
cable. In this application, the flow of fluids and gases is minimized. Bowen
Line Wipers are rugged, safe, dependable, and easy to operate.

 Bowen Sub Sea Blowout Preventers

Bowen Sub Sea Blowout Preventers

Bowen Sub Sea Blowout Preventers are constructed from special
alloy steel and are specially designed to seal off or shear coiled tubing and
wireline during sub sea well servicing operations. Bowen Sub Sea Blowout
Preventers are low profile, hydraulically actuated units that are available
with single or dual bore. The hydraulic actuator assemblies utilize an auto-
matic locking device that locks the rams in the closed position and does
not require the use of sequencing valves, thus reducing size and cost.
Bowen Sub Sea Blowout Preventers are available in working pressures from
5,000 psi to 15,000 psi.

For more information on this Blowout Preventer

please contact your local National Oilwell representative.

 Bowen Hydraulic Wireline Jars
and Knuckle Joints

Bowen Hydraulic Wireline Jars

Bowen Hydraulic Wireline Jars employ a patented hydraulic system similar to that used in the well known Bowen Hydraulic
Rotary Jar. This system permits the operator to closely control the force of the blow over a wide range. from a light blow to one of
maximum impact. These jars may be run on any measuring line or stranded wire line which does not require electrical continuity
below the jar. They are particularly valuable in fishing, swabbing and permanent well completion operations
The Bowen Hydraulic Wireline Jar consists essentially of a sliding mandrel within a hydraulic chamber. In the closed position, an
integral piston on the lower end of the mandrel rests in the middle body cylinder. When strain is taken on the line, the top sub and
mandrel are pulled upward, while the piston is impeded in its upward movement by hydraulic fluid. This fluid is restricted in it flow
from above the piston by the narrow passage between the piston and the cylinder wall. Fluid flow is retarded, thereby delaying
completion of the jarring stroke until sufficient strain has been taken on the line to strike a blow of required impact value.
When the piston passes from the cylinder into the enlarged internal portion, fluid resistance ceases. The top sub and the mandrel
then travel upward with great acceleration until the top of the piston strikes the middle body insert, transmitting the jarring force.
The jar is closed after the stroke by slacking off on the line. A check valve in the piston allows free passage of fluid, permitting the
jar to close freely.
The 11/8", 11/4" and 11/2" O.D. jars have a two-piece middle body insert and bushing combination, designed to simplify
replacement of the high pressure seal assembly.

 Bowen Rope Sockets

Bowen Single-Strand Rope Socket

Bowen Single-Strand Rope Sockets are designed for use with measuring
lines having diameters of .062" to .092". They can also be used on stranded lines
with diameters up to 3/16". Specify line size when ordering.
The Single-Strand Rope Socket consists essentially of a body and a grooved
bronze plug. The line is threaded through the body and wrapped around the
plug in the grove provided. The plug is then pulled tightly up into the body
taper.
The pressure of the pin of the tool which is connected below the socket aids
in wedging the plug in the body, while strain on the line keeps the plug tightly
wedged in the body, eliminating the possibility of the line slipping out.

Bowen Slip-Type Rope Socket —

Overload Release Type
Bowen Slip-Type Rope Sockets are designed for use with small stranded
lines, through 3/8" diameter. They may be used with conductor lines, provided
that electrical continuity below the rope socket is not required.
This rope socket features simplicity of construction and easy assembly. It
consists of a body, sub, carriage, slips and set screw.
The slips are designed to cause the line to break under severe loading at a
specific percentage of the full line tensile strength. Five breaking strength slips
are available for 50%, 60%, 70%, 80% and 90% of line strength. The desired
percent must be specified when the slips or assembly are ordered.
If during the running tools become stuck, the operator is assured that the
line will break at the rope socket rather than up-hole, allowing retrieval of the
wireline.

WARNING: The rope socket is susceptible to damage from wrench marks, corrosion.
etc. which will substantially reduce its strength. Pipe wrenches should not exceed
18" and should be used only on the heavy wall portions of the rope socket body.

 Bowen Series 160 Side Door Overshots

Bowen Series 160 Side Door Overshots

Bowen recommends the use of the Series 160 Side Door Overshots when
fishing for conductor line or cable tools in cased holes. These Overshots are run
in on tubing or drill pipe. By removing the side door in the bowl, the line can be
fed into the tool. After the line is in place, the door is put back into position as
part of the bowl.

Important features of the Bowen Series 160 Side Door Overshot are:
SERIES 160 SIDE DOOR OVERSHOTS

• Eliminates the necessity of cutting the line or cable.

• Eliminates the possibility of lines fouling (this can take place when
two lines are in the hole).
• Provides more positive control than would be possible when fishing
with a conventional wire line overshot.

 Bowen Wireline Retrievers,
Tubular Jars, and Sinker Bars

Bowen Wireline Retrievers

Bowen Wireline Retrievers are specifically designed for recovering cut or
broken single strand measuring lines or small diameter stranded lines. Since
cut or broken wire line “strands” into soft coils inside the pipe, and the upper-
most portions will typically be standing straight up, it is desirable to grab the
line just below the break in the line.
