Abstract

A catching tool assembly, and method of use, for catching an electric submersible pump string or other equipment string in a well bore in the event of a tubing failure. The catching tool is self-orienting so that the tool can be set and retrieved by simply moving the mandrel of the tool up and down, without any need to rotate the equipment string or the mandrel.
