Webb, D D; Anderson, E A

An energizer for use with a jar mechanism incorporated on inner and outer bodies in a well string to assist the jar mechanism in delivering an upward jar to the well string includes longitudinally spaced seal means between the inner and outer bodies forming a chamber for receiving a compressible medium therein. A differential area formed on one of the bodies within the compressible medium chamber compresses a compressible medium in the chamber as the well string is lowered to position the inner and outer bodies so that the jar mechanism is actuated to restrain relative longitudinal movement between the inner and outer bodies to an extended position whereby a pull force may be developed in the well string in one of the bodies. The differential area is responsive to the compressed gas in the chamber to assist the jar mechanism in applying an upward jarring force when the jar mechanism, in response to a predetermined pull force in the well string, releases the bodies for contact to apply an upward force to the well string.
