Abstract: A jar comprises an outer housing; an inner mandrel within the outer housing to define a fluid chamber; a valve disposed within the fluid chamber with a restriction surface facing, during setting, a cooperating restriction surface on the outer housing and a pressure surface facing the inner mandrel, the valve movable between a seated position and an unseated position; the cooperating restriction surface cooperating with the restriction surface to set the jar for a jar in a first direction; the pressure surface being exposed to fluid within the fluid chamber when the jar is set and pressuring up for a jar in the first direction; the pressure surface being indented to cause uneven radial movement, in a plane perpendicular to a jar axis, of the restriction surface towards the cooperating restriction surface when the jar is set and pressuring up for a jar in the first direction; and jarring surfaces.

Abstract: A downhole magnet tool comprises a top sub having an inner bore terminating in a downhole facing open end, the inner bore defining a centralizer receptacle of smaller width than a width of the downhole facing open end, a mandrel terminating upwardly in a centralizer stem, the centralizer stem being fitted in the centralizer receptacle of the top sub, and a magnet mounted on a downhole facing surface of the mandrel. A method of assembly of a downhole magnet tool comprises mounting a magnet on the mandrel and inserting the centralizer stem into the centralizer receptacle.

Abstract: A double-acting compounder comprises: an outer housing; an inner mandrel disposed telescopically within the outer housing to define a fluid chamber; an equalizer, such as an equalizer piston, between the fluid chamber and an exterior of the outer housing for equalizing pressure; a movable seal assembly within the fluid chamber with a first end defining an end of the fluid chamber; the inner mandrel having an outer shoulder for moving the movable seal assembly with the inner mandrel when the inner mandrel moves in a first direction relative to the outer housing to compresses fluid within the fluid chamber; and the outer housing having an inner shoulder for preventing the movable seal assembly from moving with the inner mandrel when the inner mandrel moves in a second direction relative to the outer housing to compresses fluid within the fluid chamber.
