Camco - PRS Series Pulling Tool

Camco PRS series pulling tools are wireline service

Down Hole Tools

tools that are used to retrieve subsurface devices
with internal fishing necks. The PRS pulling tool
consists of a fishing neck with a threaded pin
connection on the upper end, an inner mandrel, a
collet, a collet core, a collet spring, an emergency
release shear pin and either a core spring (for tools
of up to 3 1/2" OD) or a ratchet assembly (for larger
tools).

During the pulling operation, the collet spring allows

the collet to retract around the reduced OD of the
core until the fingers pass into the fishing neck of the
device to be pulled. The collet spring then extends
the collet over the large OD of the core in order to
latch the tool securely into the fishing neck of the
device.

All PRS tools of 3 1/2" OD and smaller diameters

feature a ‘reversible safety shear release’ which allows
the pulling operation to be aborted without retrieving
the subsurface device. Release is accomplished by
jarring either upward or downward, depending on the
position of the core spring in the tool. If the core
spring is located above the stop on the inner mandrel,
downward jarring is required; if the core spring is
located below the inner mandrel stop, upward jarring
is required.

For tools larger than 3 1/2" OD, shear release is

accomplished by downward jarring only. After jarring
downward, a ratchet assembly retains the collet core
in the released position. Most PRS pulling tools are
internally threaded to receive a prong for equalizing
operations.

Wireline Operations - Pulling Tools

The PRS series of pulling tools includes the following
models:

• PRS
• PRS-2
• PRS-3

The PRS requires downward jarring for safety shear

release while the PRS-2 features a reversible safety
shear release.

The PRS-3 pulling tool, which also features a reversible

safety shear release, is specifically designed to retrieve
Otis D locks.
