Downhole Tools
The Internal Hook is a compact fishing tool generally used inside casing and tubing for catching wireline, cable, logging line, and other small “soft fish” items during well intervention and workover operations.
Internal hooks are commonly supplied in two configurations: Dead (fixed) hook and Live (adjustable) hook, allowing operators to select the appropriate grabbing action based on the fish type and downhole conditions.
- Dead (Fixed) Internal Hook for standard wireline/cable fishing
- Live (Adjustable) Internal Hook for improved catching flexibility across fish sizes
- Tools for use inside tubing / casing in common workover and fishing operations
- API standard connections and common premium thread options upon request
- Optional fishing accessories based on the actual fishing program
- Designed to catch wireline, cables, logging lines, and similar soft fish inside tubulars
- Hook profiles provide reliable engagement while minimizing unnecessary damage to casing/tubing ID
- Dead hook offers simple, robust, fixed grabbing action for common fishing tasks
- Live hook provides adjustable catching action to improve success rate across fish sizes
- Rugged alloy steel body suitable for repeated runs in workover operations
- Fishing wireline / logging line / cable inside casing and tubing
- Retrieval of small soft fish and line-type debris during well intervention
- Workover fishing operations prior to completion or remedial jobs
- Routine fishing preparation for fields with frequent line or cable incidents
The specifications below are typical reference options used in international workover and fishing operations. Exact dimensions may vary by design and manufacturer. Final selection should be confirmed by your tubing/casing ID, target fish type, and connection requirement.
