Free Point Indicator Tool

The Free Point Indicator Tool measures stretch or response to applied torque across a 52" section of tubing, drillpipe or casing. These measurements help determine the free point in a stuck string and select a connection for back-off. A casing bowspring section adapts the tool for use in casing.

The tool can be combined with a string shot to determine the free point and perform a back-off in a single run. This reduces the need for separate trips and can save rig time. An electrical reset allows the measurement to be returned to zero while downhole.

Key features

• Electromechanical measurement of stretch or response to torque

• 52" measurement interval

• Downhole electrical reset to zero

• Through-circuit capability for combination runs with a string shot

• Adaptable for casing using a casing bowspring section

Applications

• Free-point determination in stuck tubing and drillpipe

• Free-point determination in casing

• Selection of a connection for back-off

• Combined free-point measurement and string shot operations
