When deciding whether to use a mechanical or a hydraulic jar, the -...
available compression or tension at the jar is an important criterion.

A hydraulic jar will always fire if set and then put into tension or ~
compression. However, with a very low compression or tension in ~ :>
the loading phase of the jar operations, a hydraulic jar may have a
loading time of several minutes. Consequently, the jarring opera-
tions will not be effective. By doing the proper calculations in the

planning phase, we can avoid such ineffective jarring.
