Abstract

A running tool which is intended to be lowered down a tubular member via a wireline extending from the surface to a connection to the upper end of the tool by which the tool is suspended, said tool being capable of advancing itself along the wall of the tubular member when required (e.g. when the tubular member is inclined to the vertical as a “lateral”), by repeated application and release of tension force in the wireline.
