The Hammerhead Bi-Directional Impact Hammer delivers a controllable high frequency up or down impact to any downhole device. The frequency and magnitude of the impacts delivered are controlled via the flow rate and applied pressure force. A short length and the ability to configure the Impact Hammer as up only, down only or bi-directional make the Hammerhead suitable for many diverse applications including shifting sleeves, breaking disks, pulling plugs, scale removal, cleanouts, tubing swaging and broaching operations. The ability to deliver high frequency impacts with low applied force and without the necessity to cycle the Coiled Tubing makes the Hammerhead an attractive alternative to the conventional option of using a Jar. A Hammerhead Stroker Tool can also be used to optimise the performance of the Hammerhead when there is the little effective length of Coiled Tubing above the Hammer position. The CE Hammerhead Bi-Directional Impact Hammer is manufactured from high-grade materials and has an operating mechanism that does not rely on the elastomer performance, making the tool suitable for corrosive and high-temperature environments.
