Gas Lift Kickover Tools
Weatherford McMurry-Macco™ Kickover Tools are wireline devices used to selectively install and retrieve control equipment from side pocket mandrels with an orienting sleeve. The sleeve guides the kickover tool into perfect alignment above the pocket of the mandrel.
The McMurry-Macco KOT™ Tool features “no pinning” between runs. The arm assembly is pushed back into position when leaving the side pocket mandrel on its trip out of the well. This greatly reduces wireline time by eliminating the need to remove the tool from the tool string while disassembling the tool for re-pinning. It also allows the operator several attempts to either set or retrieve a control device without coming out of the well. Many customers and wireline operators specify the McMurry-Macco KOT Tool because of this cost savings feature.
Another feature is the multiple tubing sizes each tool is capable of operating within. By simply adding the appropriate centralizing pad, the tool can be used in larger tubing thus saving the additional expense of another tool and repair parts.
