Hydraulic Kick-Over Knuckle Joint
Reservoir Group’ Hydraulic Kick-Over Knuckle Joint has been designed to provide a method of deflecting Coiled Tubing Bottom Hole Assembly from the straight line of the tool string.


The tool is activated by increasing the pump rate through the Coiled Tubing. This activates a piston within the tool and a kick-over of 12° is achieved.

The Hydraulic Kick-Over Knuckle Joint has many useful applications. It provides a standard BHA with flexibility which can assist in passing through wellbore restrictions. Additionally, in conjunction with Reservoir Group’ Indexing Tools, lateral sections of a wellbore may be found and entered. This combination of tools is also useful in locating fish in larger diameter wellbores. Pressure integrity and a large Through-Bore are features of this tool which also allow off-centre jetting operations to be performed. They also ensure the safe passage of drop-balls and treatment fluid.
