  • Publication number: 20250146410
    Abstract: An apparatus for deployment in a conduit of a tubular having an obstruction includes a fish neck connected to a deployment device configured to deploy the fish neck into the conduit of the tubular. The apparatus also includes a sand bailer connected to the fish neck. The sand bailer has a diameter larger than a diameter of the fish neck and the sand bailer is configured to obtain a sample of the obstruction by creating a suction pressure within the sand bailer. The apparatus further includes an outer sleeve movable between a first position and a second position. The first position comprises the outer sleeve concentrically disposed around the sand bailer and the second position comprises the outer sleeve concentrically disposed around the fish neck after an interaction between the outer sleeve and the obstruction. The outer sleeve comprising a plurality of panels connected to one another by a plurality of stretchable elements.

  • Patent number: 12252978
    Abstract: A method for detecting an obstruction in a conduit of a tubular includes running a deployment device connected to a first cylindrical rod and a second cylindrical rod into the conduit of the tubular. The second cylindrical rod has a diameter larger than a diameter of the first cylindrical rod. The method further includes positioning an outer sleeve, including a plurality of stretchable elements connecting a plurality of panels to one another, in a first position, wherein the outer sleeve is disposed concentrically around the second cylindrical rod in the first position. The method further includes detecting the obstruction by shifting the outer sleeve from the first position to a second position due to an interaction between the obstruction and the outer sleeve, wherein the outer sleeve is concentrically disposed around the first cylindrical rod in the second position.

  • Patent number: 12024994
    Abstract: An apparatus for evaluating an obstruction in a conduit of a tubular includes a first cylindrical rod connected to a deployment device configured to deploy the first cylindrical rod into the conduit of the tubular; a second cylindrical rod connected to the first cylindrical rod; an outer sleeve movable between a first position and a second position; and an impression block connected to the second cylindrical rod. The impression block is configured to obtain an impression of the obstruction. The second cylindrical rod has a diameter larger than a diameter of the first cylindrical rod, when the outer sleeve is concentrically disposed around the second cylindrical rod in the first position and concentrically disposed around the first cylindrical rod after an interaction between the outer sleeve and the obstruction. The outer sleeve includes a plurality of panels connected to one another by a plurality of stretchable elements.
