This document provides a formula to estimate the location of a tool string in a well after a fishing wire breaks. The formula takes into account the depth the tool string was at when the wire broke, the distance the wire has been unspooled from the counter, the wire's fall factor based on its size, and the depth on the counter as the wire is respooled to calculate the estimated top of the tool string.

Fishing broken wire
Wire fallback formula
• T = [D - (C + d)] + (C + d x f) + 1000 • T = estimated top of wire • f = wire fall factor for wire / tubing size • D = depth of the tool string in the well (when the wire broke) • d = distance from the counter to the zero point • H = distance the tool string falls back down the well • C = depth on counter when wire is back spooled onto unit
