TDR
TDR
Rope Socket
The BDK Time Delay Releasable Rope Socket (TDR) is run in place of the
.uk
standard rope socket and provides a safe, reliable means of release
should the wireline toolstring become stuck downhole. To release the
co
TDR, the operator simply slacks off the wireline for a predetermined
time. The top section can then be retrieved with the wireline leaving a
le.
clean fishing neck downhole for future recovery operations.
nd
The TDR can also used be as a Soft Release Tool to deploy Gauges
and other delicate instruments.The tool has been designed so that
ke
no presetting or calibration are required prior to use. The tool is
bd
easy to maintain and redress without the need for any special
w.
tools. Utilising a hydraulic metering system similar to that used
in the BDK Hydro-Mech Jar, the materials have been matched
ww
to limit the effects of thermal expansion on the release times.
Using a balanced pressure system that also provides for
hydraulic fluid expansion the tool can operate throughout a
wide range of conditions up to 200°C and 10,000 PSI.
