For fishing operations
The Well Key® GS Pulling Tool is based on the Welltec‘s existing Well Key design. This tool is used for pulling plugs and fishing operations.
Its durable construction ensures reliable performance in tough downhole conditions, enhancing operational efficiency during well interventions.
Featured case
During well intervention operation, as part of a campaign covering reservoir analysis and surveys, a client installed a 4-1/2” retrievable bridge plug above a set of downhole gauges.
The Well Key GS Pulling Tool is activated to latch on to a fish neck mechanically. Instead of the key pads of the standard Well Key, a GS (which is essentially a fishing spear) will be active.
It is capable of latching when powered on and de-activated, i.e. releasing when powered off. This tool is reinforced to withstand high tensile force that can be required during fishing operations.
