When workovers become necessary,

Baker Oil Tools applies more than five
decades of experience in providing solu-

of products and services utilizes mechan-
ical and inflatable packer technologies to
provide complete, integrated systems that
maximize productivity and minimize cost.

At the forefront of Baker capabilities is our

award-winning thru-tubing workover tech-
nology. Thru-tubing systems enable vari-
ous downhole operations to be performed
without killing the well or pulling the
production tubing. We pioneered, per-
fected, in thru-tubing zonal isolation,
water shutoff and well cleanout. These
operations can be accomplished simply
using coiled tubing or wireline, saving
operators millions of dollars.

Fishing Tools and Services

Tool or System Description Applications and Advantages
Metal Muncher® Milling Patented hardfacing technology that cuts cleaner, • The enabling technology for many Baker fishing
Technology smoother casing windows quickly and efficiently solutions
• Cuts metal instead of grinding it
• Leaves no large pieces of metal debris
WindowMasterTM Casing A combination packer-whipstock-milling assembly that • Provides maximum casing exit flexibility
Exit System makes it possible to orient, set the bottom-trip anchor, throughout the life of the well
and mill the window for a sidetrack, all in one trip • Ideal for deepwater sidetracking
• Industry’s most field-proven one-trip casing exit
system
• Completes re-entries faster and with less risk
TorqueMasterTM Packer Packer and anchor system that permanently anchors a • Ensures solid and reliable packoff throughout
whipstock in a cased wellbore for sidetracking the life of a multilateral well junction
• Assures whipstock stability in severe and long-
distance drilling applications
CT™ Whipstock System A coiled-tubing-conveyed whipstock system that allows • Ideal for coiled-tubing re-entries
a window to be milled through both the tubing and • Enables underbalanced sidetracking
outer casing • Runs with several anchor types
Thru-Tubing Whipstock A combination whipstock and slip pad assembly that • Excellent for dual-string casing exits
System can be run through existing tubing on either wireline • Commercially proven to depths greater than
or coiled tubing and set inside the larger casing below 13,000 ft
the tubing tail pipe • Available in permanent and retrievable designs
Navi-Drill® Mach 1P Positive displacement drilling motors designed • Ideal for any fishing or workover operation
Hi-Torque Motors specifically for coiled tubing fishing and workover requiring rotation of a downhole assembly
operations • Conveyable on coiled tubing or small-diameter
threaded pipe
• Rotor/stator design accommodates a wide
variety of drilling media
• Air motor generates high torque but operates at
lower RPM and low differential pressure
VACSTM Debris Removal A junk basket that allows for reverse circulating • Keeps subsea BOPs clean from cuttings and
Tool action downhole to prevent metal cuttings and junk enables economical deepwater milling and side-
from reaching surface during milling operations tracking
• Can be used with all cutting and milling tools
LOCKOMATIC® Expanding A positive, direct locking, expanding hole opener • Excellent for high-performance hole opening,
Hole Opener and Section Mill whose locking mechanism is tied directly to the underreaming, and casing cutting
drillstring • Offers fast run-in and positive locking downhole
• Assures full-gauge underreamed sections
Metal Muncher® Turbo Pilot High-performance mill used to mill tubulars such as • Credited with 300-400% improvement in ROP
Mill casing, liners, and washover pipe over conventional carbide pilot mills
• Pilot mill runs in excess of 1,000 ft are common
• Mills casing into small, easy-to-remove chips to
save circulating time and eliminate extra mud costs
Hipp-Tripper® Uni- Provides rotation and impact energy to allow • High penetration rates
Directional Impact Drill circulation at all times at temperatures to 600°F, • High temperature capabilities
with a variety of fluids, including nitrogen • Extreme service configurations available
Hipp-Tripper® Fishing Jar A bi-directional thru-tubing vibratory fishing jar that • Ideal for resonance and vibratory applications
operates on most fluids, including nitrogen, at
temperatures to 600°F
