Abstract
In accordance with an illustrative embodiment of the present invention, a hydraulic drilling jar includes a mandrel and a housing movable between extended and retracted relative positions to deliver jarring blows to a struck object, a piston on the mandrel that slides in a cylinder in the housing, and a restriction assembly on the housing having an internal seal that engages an enlarged section of the mandrel to enclose a high pressure, oil-filled chamber between the piston and the restriction assembly, the restriction assembly including a pin check valve that provides a very slow leakage of oil from the high pressure chamber while the enlarged section of the mandrel is engaged with the seal. An oil-filled compensating chamber on the opposite side of the restriction means from the high pressure chamber has its pressure equalized with the pressure inside the mandrel by ports through the wall of the mandrel.
