Abstract: A wellbore bailer includes a bailer body that includes a top end, a tubular portion, and a nose, the tubular portion adapted to at least partially enclose a wellbore fluid and the nose including an outlet; a piston arranged in the tubular portion uphole of the wellbore fluid; a passage fluidly coupled to at least one of a pressure chamber or the fluid outlet, the pressure chamber arranged uphole of the piston and adapted to at least partially enclose a pressurized fluid; a pressure barrier arranged across the passage; and an actuator including a puncture member adapted to pierce the pressure barrier based on adjustment of the actuator from an unactuated position to an actuated position, the piston urged by the pressurized fluid to forcibly expel the wellbore fluid through the outlet based on piercing of the pressure barrier by the puncture member.

Abstract: Techniques for releasing a well tool string from a wireline release tool includes initiating actuation of a linear actuator of the wireline release tool, the actuator coupled to an inner mandrel on which a retractable latch rides, the retractable latch including a profile formed on an outer surface of the latch that is coupled to the well tool string; actuating the actuator to move the inner mandrel of the wireline release tool to remove support of the profile by a ramp formed on the outer surface, the profile retracted toward the inner mandrel based on the movement of the inner mandrel; decoupling the profile from the well tool string based on retraction of the profile toward the inner mandrel; and moving the wireline release tool into a position to release the wireline release tool from the well tool string.
