High Quality Washover Shoes for Well Drilling
Construction
Our Washover Shoes are dressed with a special hard-face compound made of crushed sintered tungsten carbide particles and a resilient matrix of nickel-silver alloy. Tungsten carbide particles have a hardness nearly equal to that of diamonds. They retain their hardness at high temperatures and are not affected by the heat generated from the cutting operation. The tough nickel-silver alloy matrix holds the tungsten carbide particles in place and cushions the particles against strong impact.
Styles and Usage
Type A
Cuts on the inside diameter and bottom. Do not cut on the outside diameter. Used to cut metal on fish without cutting the casing.
Type B
Cuts on the outside diameter and bottom. Does not cut on the inside diameter. Used to wash over a fish and cut metal or formation in an open hole.
Type C
Cuts on the inside and outside diameters and bottom. Used to wash over and cut metal, formation, or cement.
Type D
Used where clearances are limited. Cuts on the inside diameter and bottom. Do not cut on the outside diameter. Cut metal on the fish without cutting the casing.
Type E
Used where clearances are limited. Cuts on the outside diameter and bottom. Does not cut on the inside diameter. Used to wash over a fish or cut metal, formation, or cement in an open hole.
Type F
Used to size and dress the top of a fish inside the casing. Makes a tapered cut on the inside diameter and cuts on the bottom. Do not cut on the outside diameter.
Type G
Cuts on the inside and outside diameters and on the bottom. Used to wash over a fish or cut metal, formation, or cement in an open hole where inside clearances are limited.
Type H
Cuts on the inside and outside diameters and on the bottom. Used to wash over a fish or cut metal, formation, or cement in an open hole where outside clearances are limited.
Type I
Cuts on the bottom only. Does not cut on the inside or outside diameters. The saw-tooth design allows maximum circulation. Used only for washing over and cutting formation.
Type J
Cuts on the outside diameter and bottom. Does not cut on the inside diameter. The saw-tooth design allows maximum circulation. Used only for washing over and cutting formation.
Type K
Cuts on the bottom only. Does not cut on the inside or outside diameters. Used only for washing over and cutting formation.
