Taper Taps
DESCRIPTION/APPLICATION Taper Taps are used to engage the inside of a fish where conventional releasing spears would not be feasible. Taper Taps are de- signed to cut threads where no threads are present. Taper Taps can be used to fish tu- bulars, bridge plugs, packers or other types of downhole equipment.

OPERATION
Run Taper Tap into the hole and lightly tag the top of the fish. Pick up and begin to ro- tate slowly. Note the free torque of the work- string. While rotating, slowly lower the Ta- per Tap into the fish until the torque begins to build up rapidly. Increase the set-down weight as the torque increases.
Once the Taper Tap is firmly seated in the fish, attempt to retrieve the fish with straight pull (dependent upon the fishing scenario).
Caution: Taps are non-releasable and should be run with bumper jars and safety joints. Taps should only be used when re- leasable engagement type tools are not an option.
