Abstract

A wireline recovery tool for retrieving a wireline from a wellbore includes an outer sheath and a rotatable spear positioned within the outer sheath. The rotatable spear includes a plurality of angled portions and a plurality of vertical portions such that the rotatable spear has an asymmetrical profile. The outer sheath includes a first and second wall, each of which includes an inner surface and an outer surface. A plurality of angled prongs extend from the inner surfaces of the first and second walls. A torque device including an indexing mechanism and ratcheting mechanism rotates the rotational spear positioned within the outer sheath. As the rotatable spears rotates, the wireline being retrieved from the wellbore becomes increasingly entangled with the rotatable spear and outer sheath, such that the wireline can be removed from the wellbore.
