Oil Fishing Tools
- Once equipment is dropped down an oil well, you must use fishing tools to retrieve it.abandoned oil well at dusk image by Calin Tatu from Fotolia.com
When workers on an oil rig need to recover something lost down a well, they need special tools to do so. Wells are many miles deep, and it takes special mechanical tools, called fishing tools, to recover lost equipment. Fishing requires not only the use of special equipment but also honed skills since each fishing trip, and fish, is different. Fish is what the lost item or piece of debris is called in the industry. Many different types of fishing tools are available, and several companies produce them. - Eaton Oil Tools offers a full line of fishing tools and other downhill equipment for the oil drilling industry. Eaton can assist with fishing services that include the removal or recovery of debris, lost equipment or returning a dislodged well bore to its proper location. At its headquarters in Broussard, LA, any special tools are machined or modified in house by Eaton welders and tool dressers to provide the perfect fix for any situation that may arise on a drilling rig. The Eaton Team does not just offer fishing tools, but a full service fishing solution for any rig, regardless of geographic location.
