Abstract: An overshot (10, 100, 200) for handling equipment (12) defining a spearhead point (14). The overshot (10, 100, 200) includes: a substantially elongated overshot body (16); a pair of lifting dogs (18) pivotally mounted to the overshot body (16) so as to be movable between a dog closed configuration and a dog open configuration; and a dog control element (26) operatively coupled to the lifting dogs (18) for selectively controlling the movement of the lifting dogs (18) between the dog closed and open configurations, the dog control element (26) being operable between an armed configuration, a locked configuration and a released configuration. In the armed configuration, the lifting dogs (18) are movable between the dog closed and open configurations for allowing insertion of the spearhead point (14) therebetween; in the locked configuration, the lifting dogs (18) are locked in the dog closed configuration; and in the released configuration, the lifting dogs (18) are positioned in the dog open configuration.

Abstract: A core barrel assembly for retrieving a core sample. The core barrel assembly includes a retrieving element defining an inner tube for retrieving the core sample thereinto, a locking assembly including latch dogs for locking the core retrieving assembly inside the outer tube and a valve assembly mechanically coupled to the locking assembly and provided proximally relative thereto for controlling the flow of fluid across the core barrel assembly. The core barrel assembly is operable in a retrieving configuration in which the latch dogs are retracted and the valve assembly is closed, in a locking configuration in which a locking element locks the latch dogs in an extended configuration and the valve assembly is open and a retrieving configuration, in which the latch dogs are force in a retracted configuration and the valve assembly is open.
