Abstract
A telebending tool for conveying a logging tool into a wellbore includes a tool body having a central axis. In addition, the tool also includes a cam housing coupled to the tool body and a nose moveably coupled to the tool body through a pivoting member. Further, the telebending tool includes a compression spring positioned between the nose and the pivoting member, and a camming arm coupled to the nose. The camming arm extends coaxially through the pivoting member to selectively engage a cam pathway of the cam housing. The nose has a first position with a central axis of the nose coaxially aligned with the central axis of the body and a second position with the central axis of the nose oriented at an angle less than 180° relative to the central axis of the body.
