Abstract
A pressure containing wireline safety mechanism for wireline assemblies incorporates a tubular body for attachment between the lubricators and stuffing box of the wireline assembly. An inner housing is releasably retained within the tubular body and is provided with a wireline cutter to cut the wireline and release a wireline tool string that is stuck in a position blocking closure of the wellhead saftey valves and the wireline blowout preventor. The inner housing also incorporates a valve mechanism that automatically forms a pressure containing seal after the wireline has been cut to thus permit the stuffing box to be removed and another wireline assembly installed above the first wireline assembly for removing the inner housing and releasing the stuck wireline tool string.
