Challenge
Due to the depth, shape, and size of the lost Key Dogs, a quick and cost-effective solution was difficult to find. The customer was looking at a workover which would be a costly option and also lost production days.

Solution
Innovar Solutions has a full range of fishing magnets in the kingdom for drill pipe, coil tubing and slickline. Innovar was contacted and our slickline run fishing magnet which has no magnetism on the OD of the tool was selected as the ideal solution. The FMW 15ss tool was selected due to the restriction ID and also as it has a lifting capacity of 28 kgs which was enough to retrieve the Key Dogs. The Key Dogs were retrieved successfully in the first run and operations continued.
