The Manufacturing business unit has maintained API Spec. Q1-7-1/5CT and Grant Prideco certification for more than features of both hydraulic and mechanical jars. Its unique design combines both hydraulic time delay and an optional mechanical lock in one dual-acting drilling jar. The Megaton drilling jar provides several distinct advantages over conventional hydraulic or mechanical Knocker Pressure Piston five years. The Megaton tools are manufactured to API Q1 Standards, using high-strength drilling jars. Hydraulic Mandrel 4330 V-modified steel developed to Knight Oil Tools specifications. Since these tools are manufactured in-house, Knight Oil Tools is able to provide superior quality control and Added Flexibility for Any Operation Valve Assembly Megaton Impact Tools on-time delivery. A Proven Performer Megaton drilling jars are double-acting hydraulic and can be dressed with or without an internal mechanical lock. If dressed with the internal mechanical lock, there are no additional requirements for a safety clamp during transport to the rig site or while the jar is Pressure Chamber Pressure Piston Ulti-Torq high-torque, double shoulder connections The Megaton product line has a proven track record in the N. Sea and various other oil and gas producing areas worldwide that dates racked back in the derrick. If dressed without the internal mechanical lock, the jar will be sent out in the fully open position with a safety clamp installed. This flexibility allows the jars to be run in any wellbore scenario regardless of the location in the drill string or weight Lock Mandrel Involute spline design High-strength steel developed to Knight Oil Tools specifications back to 2004. The Megaton tools have been used in U.S. markets, such as, Gulf of Mexico deep-water, Eagle Ford Shale, Haynesville Shale, Permian Basin, S. Louisiana land and below the jars.

Megaton Drilling Jar Can be dressed with or without internal mechanical lock Simple Tool Operation The Megaton drilling jar is operated by the simple up and down motion of the drill string. The intensity of the up-jarring force is directly proportional to applied tension, while the down-jarring force is directly proportional to the slack-off weight applied. Dressed with Internal Mechanical Lock In the up-jarring mode, as the applied tension exceeds the lock setting, the mechanical lock releases and the hydraulic delay sequence begins. After a brief time delay, the jar mandrel is suddenly released and accelerates to the fully extended position. In the down-jarring mode, as the compression force applied to the jar exceeds the down lock setting, the mechanical lock releases and the hydraulic delay sequence begins. After a brief time delay, the jar mandrel is released and moves freely to the fully closed position.

The energy is stored in a number of steel disc springs that are compressed when the tool is activated. It operates automatically with the jar while protecting the drill string and surface equipment from damaging shock waves. In a drill string without a Megaton Energizer, the impact of a jar is dependent on pipe stretch (overpull) and the ability of the drill pipe to contract when the jar is released. When used as a supplement to the Megaton drilling jar, Belleville disc springs compressing inside the Megaton Energizer compensate for limited pipe stretch in shallow or deviated holes. These compressed springs provide stored energy so that high impact is achieved regardless of depth (or amount of overpull achieved). The Megaton Energizer also optimizes jar performance in high-angle, extended-reach and horizontal wells, where the stored energy in the drill pipe is lost due to friction.

Using Belleville-style disc springs, a unique dampening system and pump-open force enable the Megaton shock tool to produce maximum bit performance. During drilling or milling, the tools will normally be run partially compressed, enabling compensation in both up and down directions to ensure that the bit/ mill remains on bottom. Megaton Shock Tool Operation The Megaton shock tool incorporates a pressure-balancing piston that equalizes pressure inside the tool with the pressure inside the drill string. Because of this, the pressure drop across the bit will tend to extend the tool. The amount will depend on a balance between Weight On Bit (WOB) and pump-open force. If the hydraulic force extending the impact tool is greater than WOB, the tool will open, compressing the spring assembly from the lower end until the tool reaches a balance. If the pump-open force is less than WOB, the tool will close, compressing the spring assembly from the upper end until the tool reaches a balance. Jarring with the Megaton Shock Tool The Megaton shock tool is sprung in both directions but when jarring is necessary, an overpull will bring the retaining nut in contact with the pin on the splined housing. This causes the tool to act as an integral part of the drill string, eliminating any adverse reaction from the spring system while jarring. Tool sprung in both directions Metal-to-metal contact when jarring up Hydrostatically balanced Involute spline design is stabilized and will not build angle Internal mechanical safety bearing Tool is fully stress relieved both internally and externally Megaton Shock Tool Benefits Reduced bit/mill bounce Extended bit/mill life and performance Reduced shock loads transferred through drill string, protecting LWD equipment Increased ROP Extended connection life Lower drilling cost per foot SPECIFICATIONS Shock Tool Series Units 47 62 66 81 95 Tool Size OD (New) in.
